Late Medals
At least the family has something to remember their son by:
- Michael Gordon served his city and his country. He was a Chicago police officer and he served in Bosnia as a member of the U.S. Army. He was killed in the line of duty in Chicago back in 2004. Thursday, he received long overdue honors for his military service.
Michael P. Gordon was 30 when he died four years ago next month. He had young children who never really got the chance to know their dad. For the Gordons, a law enforcement family, acquiring Mike's military service ribbons and medals was very important -- and, as it turned out, not easily achieved.
Dick "the Turban" Durbin helped out, and according to our comment section, attempted to make this into some sort of campaign commercial for himself:
- With that being said, Sen Durbin began his speech about the service of officer Gorden's military and police career. When the speech was over I found it strange when he asked if there were any questions. Then I found out why. This was a set up between the Sen and the media to hijack a memorial for a slain officer and turn it into a political sound bite for the over turning of the supreme court ruling on the right to bear arms. Sen Durbin should be ashamed of himself. This is the most classless example of self promotion I have seen in a long time.
After comparing our troops to nazis, Durbin should have resigned. This jackass is such a tool.

How about Dick fixes the problem with Gordon's brother ?!
Oh, nevermind he's better off in another Dept.....
Dick Durbin is worthless. I remember contacting him via email after 9/11 and suggesting peace officers being allowed to carry their weapons onto planes. I explained how this expand security for the airlines. At any given time, you have random peace officers traveling to various locations across the country. This was prior to the expansion of the Air Marshall program which has been a joke. I even suggested that training be provided for peace officers because of the sensitive nature of gunfire onboard an aircraft in the air. I believe his response was that they would look into it.
Dick Durban is a swine. Nuff said.
Durbin is low-class,no-talent piece of shit!
What did you expect from a left wing asshole? Class? Dignity? Respect for those who serve? Please.
Remember this bitch pulled out the tears awhile back. Fuck this un-american pussy and his bleeding heart liberal thinking.
I'm so glad that I don't have him as one of my senators as I no longer live in the shit state of Illinois. He is by far the worst of the worst . He is the NAZI !!!
What a piece of "SHIT"
Well, we all knew Durbin was a useless tool years ago. I guess the best you can say is that at least he did something that needed to be done, even if he couldn't help but do it in a crappy way.
He is the jackass that calls using a automatic call dialer/recorded message during election time that calls at hours of the day telling you how great he is and that you gotta vote for him. All done with our tax money. I am still waiting for his reply to that.
I guess I could contact about this but he won't respond either.
Maybe Blago would bring it up if contacted since he fell in his hole.
It such a shame and show complete incompetence on the part of the military to award these deserved medals four years after the mans death!
Then they wonder why military recruiting is way down!
The military treats people like shit! I would NOT allow my son to join any military because of instances like this! They don't show any respect until absolutely pushed!
The Military is run kind of like our Police dept., like shit!
Why would you want to go the extra mile after hearing such garbage like this!
Dick was at the Cubs game a few weeks ago, in the front row where the indivduals singing and throwing out the first pitch enter the field. There were five soldiers standing, waiting to enter the field (right next to him) to present the colors. Do you think that ignorant ass even said hello to them? Hell no. The one leading the others had obvious injuries to his head and face. I know that they were probably glad he did not say anything to them, but out of respect for true heros he should of atleast, even in his snobish way said hi. Dick is such a dick.
Durbin is as worthless as Gutierrez (the cab driver). I can't wait until you both are voted out of office. Hey Luis, why don't you go trespass at the Naval base in Puerto Rico anymore with your cohorts to protest? BECAUSE IT IS A FEDERAL CRIME, AND YOU WOULD BE IN JAIL...YOU FUCKIN PUSSY!! Two spineless FUCKS that are worthless to the people of Illinois..well fuck they are worthless to the human race.
I know many do not agree with Sen. Durbin's politics, but the short ceremony accomplished three things:
1. Michael's Medals were acquired
2. Michael's Memory is being kept alive
3. My wife was able to say what she thought of negative police press coverage and gave praise to all of you.
Go to the following news sites, Channel 7 (ABC) Full story
Channel 9 (WGN) Wife giving all of you praise.

Well guys maybe you need to think again. Durbin and McCain both attempted to pull the wool over our heads for big business with the dream act. Illegals for cheap labor. Understand something both of them are bad news. make them all accountable for the Middle class. Durbin is for Illegals and McCain is for the rich. and the rich love the Illegals cheap labor. Think for your selfs don't walk around with blinders on for any party. Independent.

I have emialied the idiot also and get bullshit responses he does nothing like daley but grandstand typical liberal asshole vote osama obama and give turban more power to fuck up things for us!!
Hitler took all the guns away too.
durbin is a jack ass patronage hack. this j/ass is the best man Illinois can produce to represent the people. I will never forgive him for those vicious statements he made.
How come we keep electing these people? Think about it, people only seem to care who wins the next best talent show or whatever the fuck it is called.
Kind of weird timing? Guess it's hard to stay out of the spotlight?
we still miss you Mike! you are forever remembered in our hearts!
-still in fillmore
Holy Piece of Shit Batman!!!
The arrogance of career politicians serving their community. Another example to look at is Blago. When asked by the Media repeatedly why the FBI continues to interview him, he claims that nothing is wrong and the media is unfair and only interested in making news.
I agree that most of the journalist in this town want to make news and not just report it. But, Blago don't try to worm your way out of this one. We all know the FBI doesn't come knocking on your door for nothing and Blago three times already? Don't bullshit me...I expect an indictment in the near future.
We need political reform in this country. The system is broken and nobody is willing to fix it. We are so focused on this two party system supporting career politicians. The average American is taken for granted and ask to vote every four years. Something needs to be put into place where politicians can be removed before their terms are up.
Bob Gordon,
What happened to his medals, I got mine years ago????. Again Richard Francis was one of the best, the real police.
-still in fillmore
Man get over yourself ! been there done that you are not special. Take a clue from Richard he never talked himself up. he didn't have to he had self esteem. please get some go to 7-11 pay for some if you have too. Fillmore softballs.
Now wonder they call him the Eddie Haskell of Illinois Politics. just like the mean little bastard from Leave It To Beaver who smiled to your face but was a little prick behind Ward's back. I just wanna puke every time I see Durbin with that shitty phony smile and then he says some off the wall left wing wacko thing.
Durbin getting re-elected time after time proves that we need to pass a law mandating an you have to pass an intelligence test to be able to vote.
Now that I think of it, Obama, Daley, Stroeger, Blowhardovich, Emil Jones etc. are all good examples of why the shallow end of the gene pool should not have the right to vote.
you guys must remember one thing when voting. Durbin = Turbin. Who's side is he really on?
"Now wonder they call him the Eddie Haskell of Illinois Politics. just like the mean little bastard from Leave It To Beaver who smiled to your face but was a little prick behind Ward's back."
Now, now, that's not being fair to Haskell.
trivia: the actor who played Eddie Haskell later became a police officer...
Weird.
