Durban blames VRWC for making him look like an ass


Earlier this month, Senator Dick Durban took to the Senate floor and compared our soldiers to Nazis, Pol Pot, and the communists who ran the Soviet gulag. Durban's comments were picked up by the terrorist propaganda outlet, Al-Jazeera, and echoed throughout the Arab World. This prompted CNN's Wolf Blitzer to ask how he felt that terrorists were echoing his remarks. Durban replied, by blaming the Vast Right Wing Conspirators in the media.

"I think there were a lot of my critics who tried to blow these remarks up as much as they could and to run them in some aspects of our press over and over and over again. I think they bear some responsibility too. That speech might never have been noticed but for that activity on that side of the media."
So, it's not Durban's fault for saying what he said, it's the fault of the right wing media (Rush, Fox News, and the bloggers) for telling people what he said.

When many liberals make stupid statements they always blame it on the conservatives.
