Why did Durbin not correct Gingrich on this statement?

"But let me also point out, Senator, al-Qaeda did not become a global concern after 9/11. Al-Qaeda had been operating in Iran, in Iraq..."

Mr. Gingrich, you DO know that the members of al-Qaeda are Sunni Muslims and the people of Iran are Shias?

1. Probably went by too fast..

I watched it live and didn't pick it up either.

3. I e-mailed Sen Durbin's office with the question and will post any response

I receive from his office.

[Confusious]

2. Wingers pull so much shit out their asses

Its hard to avoid choking on it. When you're choking, you can't speak.

4. I was upset when he did not jump on that.

Durbin seemed rattled. Gingrich's statement should never have gone unchallenged. These RW claims are becoming irrefutable, even though they are complete fabrications.
