This is nuts. Bret Baier was simply asking Dick Durbin why God and Jerusalem were removed from the Democratic Party platform and gets attacked by Durbin over and over for trying to smear Democrats as a godless party:

You have to be living in a bubble if you do not believe there are strong inferences being made by Fox news in their coverage towards these sorts of things. This story is drummed up and turned into an issue by them. This is manufacturing news and not the reporting news. Many conservatives just "eat" this stuff up. Stop being a foxheaded zombie and learn to think for yourself and focus on getting news instead of being served news.

As an Illinois resident, Dick Durbin is an embarrassment to the folks of Illinois

and the USA. Consider this:

1- Durbins statement calling our troops "Jack Booted Thugs", for which he later offered apologies, speaks volumes as to his loyalties. Once a person besmirches the military in the manner in which it was done, there is no redemption. His statement will not be forgotten as he crossed the line.

2- Durbin's "Dream Act" is another example of democrat pandering for votes and support for illegal residents. Elected representatives should be representing the interest of citizens and not of people that are here illegally. Selective law enforcement and exemptions sends a mixed message to all citizens. As the third most powerful person in government he should use his position to fix the problem and not substitute band aids.

3- Durbin's rhetorical commentary regarding the question of having God in the democrat platform is a further indication of where this Obama driven democrat administration is heading.

Given the above comments and many more that can be directed to the Obama administration's agenda of "Fundamentally Changing America", it is becoming increasingly difficult to have respect or support for the democrat party.

This interview took place before the DNC put God back in their platform inspite of being bood three times. I wonder what dick has to say about that. Godless? They said it all when they did that. That said it all. The rejection of Jesus Christ by this nation is the single biggest reason for our problems and means everything. Go ahead. Rebut this statement. Choose. Put yourselves in opposition to the creator. Go Ahead. It's YOUR loss.

Why the hell am I having to listen to anything Dick Durbin has to say about anything on this website??????? If I cared to listen to anything he has to say, I would go to some left-wing website. The RIGHT SCOOP is supposed to be posting "RIGHT" points of view.

Any political party that supports abortion and queerness the way the dems do IS a Godless party. There's no way around that.

He totally spun the question around, and didn't answer. The democrats are not religious at all especially now that they are pro abortion and want to pay for sexual contraception, and pro gay marriage....they sicken me.

Dick Durbin, a master at not answering a question and making the question out to be an accusation and then blaming it on Bush. Geez, who could watch this and want him in the Senate?

They want God out of the classroom, out of the Pledge of Allegiance and out of the convention hall. Reverend Wright will probably remove the God out of his racist damning.

Sometimes, when you see a snake, you just can't helkp picking up a stick and poking it.

Did Brett just play the "God Card?"

I couldn't watch the whole thing. What a douche. If I was Bret I would have continued to ask "why?" because Durbin obviously wasn't answering and his tactics of trying to smear the right because of it were weak. The party of abortion is a party of God....really Durbin??? Really? The party of homosexual marriage is a party of God...you sure about that one Dick? Perhaps Durbin should have defined which god he was referring to, because it doesn't seem like he was talking about the God of Abraham.

"We created the most unread document in political history." Are you talking about Obamacare?

"Truman was the first President to recognize Israel." No kidding....only because he was in office when Israel officially became a state in 1948 you moron. My 6 year old could have figured that one out. That means nothing because your democrat leader now obviously can't stand Israel and doesn't acknowledge their capital as Jerusalem.

I can't stand to watch it and all their brainwashed zombies. Maybe this is the season premiere of the "Walking Dead" in disguise.

Is God mentioned in the Russian or Chinese Constitution?

At this convention, the demunists have come out of the commie closet. Should obamunist be reelected, the Constitution will be totally replaced and eliminated from school books

What a jackass!! It was a simple qustion and he repeatedly bitched at Bret for even asking. What's the matter, Dick? Did he get a little too close to reality?

They don't want to answer any questions that put them on the spot.

Gee, could it be because Obama demanded them to be removed? Nice coincidence that it was removed when he took office. Insert Allah and watch Obama get a big smile on his face.

No ,,,it was Obama ,,,OUR president that asked "Why in the world would they do that?" So he intervened and had it reinstated,,,,Nice Try,,,,!!You right wingers will not call us godless people,,,

It took three voice votes from the floor to get God and Jerusalem restored to the platform. What was there to oppose?? You could actually hear the stampede of undecided voters. D W Schputz referred to the issue as a "technical oversight." Thank you, Debbie. Did anyone at the DNC actually read the platform? The messiah blew it.

kong1967

No one has called you godless people.

But just two days ago Democrats were saying that "G-d" and "Jerusalem" were removed to reflect Obama's policy. Now they're saying it was an oversight. I've never seen worse liars in my life.

We have a colloqial saying here in IL: Lieing sack of durbin.

And besides, the Dem's do to have Gods. Washington, Lincoln, Hamilton, Jefferson, Grant and their favorite, Franklin.

Donald

Lincoln and grant were both republicans.

Grant had the most corrupt presidency of any president outside of obama in the history of this country.

Alexander Hamilton shot Aaron Burr.

Washington was independant of both the wigs and dem-repub. of the time.

So if those are the demos gods they have a problem.

Yeah, it was removed because Obama doesn't believe in the G-d. Insert Allah and he'll be happy.

Durbin is nothing but an Aliskyite, just like Obama blames Republicans on why they don't do their job. Chicago politics running rampant in DC. I'm from Chicago and do you know what the State Democrats are doing on the Budget deficit here? Blaming Republicans that they can't pass anything with out bi-partisan support, although they control everything and don't need their votes to pass a bill.

My wife mentioned this interview. She's not all that political and was so turned off by Durbin. Sad he was a major tool. I can see why.

Way to win vote Durbin.

Durbin always talks like this. It doesn't matter what he is asked. He just takes one or two of the words in the question and he's off to the races, talking nonstop, making point after point. Sort of like Waserman-Schultz.

I'd say Blah blah blah, but me thinks people listen to him. He got elected somehow.

So the Democrats are godless. Who's surprised? They want no power above them. Furthermore, they aren't nice people regardless of what conservative politicians keep telling us. They do not value our constitution or they wouldn't have run BO and Biden. BO thinks successful Americans are bad people, but loves taking their money. He is a sicko and would be a sadistic ruler if he could. Biden is an idiot and a joke. That they chose him to be vp tells you the respect the dems have for this country. The dems are crooks at best and totalitarians at worst. How many of them would honor the freedom that our constitution grants every American if they didn't have to? Those who value their freedom best not trust it to a democrat.
