Dear Friends of Jesus:
You wouldn't believe how thrilled I am that Senator Durbin has had the courage to accurately label the Bush Administration (not the troops--he wasn't talking about the troops, as you falsely accuse him of having done in your self-righteous, sanctimonious, wingnut Lying-for-Jesus way). This is not Hitler 1944, it's Hitler 1938, 5 years into the regime and nobody sent to the death camps yet.
