Durbin still catching hell
Chicago Tribune:
WASHINGTON -- More than two weeks after citing Nazis and other brutal regimes in criticizing U.S. tactics at the Guantanamo Bay detention center, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) remains under fire from critics who claim the lawmaker's subsequent apology was insufficient.Move America Forward, a group affiliated with the conservative political public relations firm Russo Marsh & Rogers, is planning a national ad campaign that scolds Durbin for his June 14 statements and what the organization refers to as his "non-apology."
Durbin's office called the move a media stunt, designed to attract coverage by news organizations.
And successfully so, as the Tribune's article demonstrates.
Move America Forward has bought air time on Fox News Channel and on three stations in Illinois. You can view its ad, "Blame America First," here.
