I mean, we blame Newsweek for making a big deal out of Koran-flushing rumors. Can't we blame the vast right wing attack machine here?

Because Newsweek was the original source of the false Koran-flushing rumors. The original source of Durbin's idiocies was Durbin, not the vast right wing attack machine. By this logic, no matter how outrageous any utterance, the fault for the ensuing 'shit-storm' lies with those who notice and exclaim over the outrage, while the originator of the remarks may remain blameless. After all, if only nobody had noticed but those who agreed with the remarks, they might have failed to generate any controversy.
