The Confederate Yankee has a real rant going on about the silence of the Dems

He's got a point about what the silence on the Left means.

Illinois Senator Dick Durbin’s outrageous comparison of U.S. treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to the genocidal tactics of Nazi, Soviet and Cambodian concentration camps has exposed the moral equivalence and cowardice within the Democratic Party, as much for what Democrats didn’t say about Durbin’s remarks, as for what they did.

While reaction on the Right was swift in defense of our military against Durbin’s seditious charges, all that has emanated from the Left is a deafening silence, or even agreement with Durbin’s seditious comments.

There has been no outcry from any major Democratic Party figure, from Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, would-be 2008 presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton, or anyone else on the political left. Nor has there been any grassroots outrage of rank and file Democrats that increasingly bow to the capricious and shrill whims of the radical MoveOn.org fringe of the party. Durbin has refused to apologize for his comparison, and Democrats have not pressed him for one. Many, it would seem, agree with his off-kilter assessment.

This leaves us to draw the frightening conclusion that the Democratic leadership really does feel that our military is on par with the Gestapo, Stalin’s NKVD, and the Khmer Rouge.

There's alot more that I didn't steal, go look.
