Senator Dick Durbin's office Threatens Group That Supports The U.S. military

Mark Twain once said "Principles aren't of much account, anyway, except at election time. After that you hang them up to let them season."

Sen. Durbin Principles are more than seaasoned, they have spolied and turned rotten.

The Senator's Staff is trying to silence Move America Forward by making threats for IRS audits and intimidating TV Stations not to show TV ads that is criticizing Durbin's remarks about U.S. troops at Guantanamo Bay.

Durbin's office is trying to silence Move America Forward, the group says, by hinting to an Illinois newspaper (the Northwest Herald of Crystal Lake) that the Internal Revenue Service should audit Move America Forward.

someone from Durbin's office was quoted as telling the newspaper - in connection with Move America Forward -- "Have you ever seen that H&R Block commercial where the guy leans in and says, 'I see an audit'?"

Senator Durbin needs to be removed from national leadership. He is a total embarrassment to Illinois, this nation and a huge liability to the safety of our men and women in harms way. It looks like CBS has seen the error of their ways over the Dan Rather and the fake guard memos. CBS was the only network not to cave from the pressure from Sen. Dick Durbin's office.
