Sen Lamar Alexander Pushes Back Against Sen Dick Durbin, Dems Blaming Palin and Tea Party for Violence



(Breitbart.tv) - Sen. Dick Durbin asks for a return to civility in our political discourse. In 2005, Sen. Durbin said in the well of the Senate: "If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags or some mad regime — Pol Pot or others — that had no concern for human beings."

Civility.
