Fox: Let's Focus on Torture in Cuba and Iran

[ndrakey]

Lets focus on the idiots in guantanamo using torture -_-

[jwh30385]

HAHAHA

Let's ignore torture in our own country, as long as it doesn't happen in Iran and Cuba!

[rdrakken]

So in other words, Obama should obstruct justice...fuck you Fox News and your Neo-Con owner.

You break the LAW you go to jail.

[gthang91582]

I'm pretty sure any 'torture' carried out on the Gaza Strip is carried out by Israel. It's hard to carry out torture when your best weapon is a rock. Good one, FOX. You're fucking stupid as shit.

[PumaOPumaOPumaO]

No one expects those countries to uphold basic human rights. They expect better of the US though. If the US wants to go down in the mud with Iran and Syria then be all means, go ahead.

[gthang91582]

This, unfortunately, is something these neocons will never understand. It's truly saddening to see people so enraptured in their own rhetorical fog that they can't see the plain truth. We tortured people. Period. We are not Iran. This should be embarrassing to them. This goes well beyond politics or "revenge." This is about making us look respected again, which, in turn, makes us safer. These clowns just don't understand that torturing people only serves to create more terrorists. Sad.

[bgrawhot]

Title should read: Let's Focus on Torture in Cuba, Iran and the USA. You can't just ignore torture in your own country, that's just idiotic.

[freakyfarooq]

Gaza Strip??

Does he mean torture ON Gazans or DONE BY Gazans! I presume he mean DONE BY Gazans, can he give ONE example where GAZANS were able to torture some one and I will give a thousand examples where GAZANS were tortures!

WHAT A TWISTED NEWS CHANNEL!

[Chewy240284]

Torture is great! if America does it!

[CynicalSavior]

again... right wingers holding our country to the standard of... Cuba, Iran and other shit holes.

No thanks GOP.... I hold our country to a higher moral standard. We do not torture. Anyone in our country that has done this deserves to be punished for breaking international law.

[Agent1W]

Wall-slamming, confinement w/ insects, extreme temperature exposure...man, that's the Rolls-Royce of all torture measures!

I'm gonna miss Club Gitmo!

[CynicalSavior]

I'll say it again.....

You can hold our country to a low moral standard but some of us are still think that we should be the moral high ground for the world.

You and others like you are shit bag traitors.

[gthang91582]

Hell hath no furry like a neocon's love for stupid argument. It never ceases to amaze me that when they're in the face of overwhelming embarrassment, the only basic argument they can cling to is some form of, "what are you, some kind of pussy?" That's basically how the Republicans win votes. You're not a pussy if you vote republican, apparently. And being a liberal makes you a limp-wristed fag, apparently. Keep it up, Agent1W. Make your party proud.

[gthang91582]

And water boarding. You seem to forget water boarding. That's classified as torture according to the Geneva Convention. And if you don't think it's that bad, I invite you to have a water boarding party with you and your "bros" this weekend. See who can "take it" the longest. It makes for a great drinking game, I promise.

[Agent1W]

Yeah, I know it's bad. If you did that to me, you'll hit my breaking point rather quickly and I'll fess up to whatever you want me to say. Then hopefully, you'll let me go in one piece.

[gthang91582]

Yeah, it's unfortunately we did it to so many completely innocent people...dick. You don't get it. We're not torturers. We're fucking Americans. If you're cool with that, then, my friend, you are completely fucked in the head. Torturing people only serves to create more terrorists. Especially when we do it to innocent people. And there have been plenty of innocent people released from Guitmo over the past 8 years. Completely innocent people. You don't get it, do you?

[Agent1W]

Then I guess the word 'innocence' is now open to intrepretation, now isn't it?

It would completely defeat the purpose to round up ordinary civilians who are not even the right fish to catch in the whole ordeal, but if you're saying that's what we did, then I believe you are correct and thus, I stand corrected.

[julian7650]

In spite of terrible conditions, what has been done in Cuba is not as bad, except it has been done to Cuban citizens. Let's look at it all! Let's defend human rights in all the world. By the way, how about the People's Republic of China, they own us now, so FOX will not mention them.

[wntoply6]

i wonder if these fox simpletons ever dare read these comments on youtube! do they really think the crap that comes out of their mouths is believed by the majority of the american public?

i do know they think the ignorant or stupid bubbas of this country believe them hook, line & sinker (you southern "christians" & members of the kkk, & aryan nation know who you are)!

we've been saying we can prevent wars if we just educate those opposed to us. i believe the same is true of southerners.!

[Novinte]

Clean your house, before messing with other peoples business..

[virvar2003]

Uhm clean up your own mess before complaining about others mess !?

[Agent1W]

Obama is fed up with the Bush administration's peace efforts...the Messiah wants WAR!!! Prosecuting them will embolden our enemies in the world, knowing that we'd be easy pickings!!!

[Bosco239]

Obama is show that one one is above the law, not even a world leader.

How in anyway will this embolden our enemies?

[Agent1W]

The world is LAUGHING at us right now because of our Messiah.

And our enemies can now wage war against us and our allies without provocation!!! There has never been a better time than now for this.

[jwh30385]

you make absolutely no sense.. Bush's peace efforts? So the Iraq war was a peace effort? wow..

Prosecuting torturers will show that we're easy pickings?

No, it will show we're actually able to stand up for what we preach against.

[julian7650]

Bush peace efforts? What planet do you live in? Prosecuting tortures will signal to the world we yhave the moral authority to champion human rights. Short-sighted and selfish motives feed torture.

[elfyboy]

And do we have a lot to be avenged...

[doublejax]

Revenge? maybe...

It is appears Obama is trying to get even for Alberto Gonzales' dismissal of US attorneys that were not loyal to George Bush.

[appatel]

Somebody is wrong doing does not entitle us to be wrongdoers.

[swapnild]

Is he really comparing the US with all those countries? Seriously!?

[PersonalJesus348]

1 torture nation at a time fox!

[Hereticbooks]

We're not responsible for what happens in Iran or Cuba, asshole. We're responsible for what happens in the United States and all that happens under our control. God! I hate republicans!

[Richardgwm]

George Bush is a confessed war criminal. Geoerge Bush must be tried and executed.

[oldtownkid]

Fox news is so upside down. This guy thinks that what he says makes sense, and the people who watch him blindly agree without questioning. The guy said basically that we have to go first and look at what others are doing and not focus on our own mistakes.How the fuck can you tell others don't torture our soldiers and our allies, when we are torturing left and right?

[Pleblian]

Shine a flashlight and watch all the cockroaches scurry.

[johnnycon]

So the USA has to deal with other nations' issues before it deals with its own. How very altruistic.

[sachaput]

Oh, like revenge is a bad thing? Time to show the GOP that Dems can play hard ball.

[boydo04]

See, looking into torture elsewhere isn't really helpful as Americans can only influence things in AMERICA, which is what they're trying to do. CUBAN'S should look into Cuban torture.

[intarwebzz]

not to mention, i'm seriously skeptical cuba and iran are signatories of the treaties that *we* drafted that prohibit torture. i'm glad this shit is in the open; it's time to close the books on the nefarious ways of the bush administration, disinfect, and get back to the imperialism basics.

[Reqrezentin]

Hahahahahahaha, I don't know if I should laugh or feel sorry for Fox News... I just love those guys. (NOT!).

[MrFlyPerfect]

These 3 peters. Nobody watches them anyways.

[burntonion05]

Monica Lewinski

Paula Jones

Those are two names that come to mind when I watched this video. Not sure why.

[litfuse69]

They're still angry McCain lost the election... and will be for years

[intarwebzz]

nah, they're angry that bush didn't get to stay king for life.

[baseballnolie34]

Whenever I hear someone talking about the state of other countries' prisons, I remember just how awful our own federal penitentiary is for inmates, and how that brutality does more to encourage than discourage violence. Sigh.

[rdrdrd1]

If I've found out my kids have been shoplifting, should I be distracted by shoplifting kids on the other side of town? FOX is more concerned about Cheney's reputation than America's.

[cat00012000]

Poor cuba! The right wing just absolutely hates poor cuba. The rest of South America admires them for standin g up to us. Righties still wish it was ruled by the mafia the way it was before Castro took over.

[Deweydecible]

Yeah, brilliant.

What could we possibly say to Iran, Cuba, China, and other human rights violators when we've squandered our moral authority?

[mikebee02]

This is about revenge? Your counter argument is about misdirection. In America, we prosecute people that break the law. That's what makes us different from Cuba, Iran, Syria, and Israel/Palestine.

[EricMetalGuitarist]

"When I catch my son doing something wrong I am going to focus on what the neighbors kids are doing & just ignore my son. Great advise Fox"

Hah! Good one.

[FakeOutrage]

When I catch my son doing something wrong I am going to focus on what the neighbors kids are doing & just ignore my son. Great advise Fox

[hellshade2]

fox noise really needs to be shut down, they claim to report news but mostly they report heresay,innuendo and propaganda.

what a joke.

[TedinLasVegas]

Yeah, just like CNN, only with a right twist instead of left.

Why is it that LIBs are the ones calling for the end of free speach, but somehow think its conservatives that assault civil rights...?

[mcalien24]

who is calling for the end of free speech....who specifically has called for the end of free speech?

[TedinLasVegas]

Well, I made my comments in response to "hellshade2", who - apparently - wants to shut down Fox News because they don't report news the way he wants them to.

[hellshade2]

fox does not report news, they take news and put thier own propagandist slant on and at times they outright lie.

this is not how a news organisation is supposed to work. maybe they should call it something else because what they report is not news...

[tim9798]

Oh, haven't you heard?

If your against people touting lies as truth claiming to be reporting news, you must be against free speech.

[Deweydecible]

You're right Ted. Fox has every right to say what they want, and to exist as a for profit media company, no matter how inane, ignorant, or completely twisted their hosts and ideas are.

[mcalien24]

then be specific...

cuz generalizations about liberals and conservatives are just retarded.

but if you think thats a fair generalization...then what other libs are calling for the end of free speech?

and i dont think any channel reports news the way anyone wants it reported...corporate media sucks...

but we should combat it with truth...not with a muzzle.

but im wary of corporations having free speech rights to begin with....aquiring and consolidating media...and lobbying power.

[flang]

Truthfully?

[jwh30385]

Because FOX isn't news. It's propaganda. There's a difference between reporting and straight up lying. Same goes for leftist media.. But CNN is NOT leftist. CNN is moderate.

[TedinLasVegas]

CNN? Moderate?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOl

Thanks! I needed that!

[jwh30385]

Find me one piece of left wing propaganda on CNN.

[TedinLasVegas]

That's like asking me to find a needle in a stack of needles...

If you can't see it; you don't want to see and no amount of evidence will ever convince you of CNN's left slant.

If CNN told you the sky is pink, I'd never be able to convince you that the sky is blue.

[jwh30385]

the difference between CNN and Fox and MSNBC is that FOX and MSNBC will spend countless hours spewing out right and left wing propaganda, while CNN will spend those hours actually covering what happened. FOX and MSNBC are pure opinion channels.

[TedinLasVegas]

I'll grant that CNN does a MUCH better job about actually covering NEWS; however, how they present that news often comes with a left slant and their bias also shows in what news they choose to present.

[TedinLasVegas]

I'll even go so far as to say they're not AS left as MSNBC; but they're still Left-Stream Media.

[yaboyterror09]

Stop with the right left wing nonsense. It's propoganda to split the American people. Let's come together as conservatives, liberals, libertarians, and moderates to create a better America for all. One more thing, the corporate media is a scam. CNN, MSNBC, FOX, all lies and the root of evil. I only trust independent non-partisan news factors.

[frictionlessmotion]

@jwh30385 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAH.

Okay, chief.

[benjykenjy]

these group of people make me physically ILL

[carrierexchange]

Yes, look the other way people! We're not torturing! THEY ARE!

[domulys]

for the GOP and Fox News, it's all about deflection. Deflect, deflect, deflect.

[RobertSeattle]

Fox News: It's only torture when the other guys do it to our people.

[robinvan1983]

ralph peters: "if you care about torture maybe you should look into.. what happens daily in cuba's prisons"

Isn't Guantanamo an prison IN cuba?

[frictionlessmotion]

@robinvan1983 Actually, no. Guantanamo Bay territory is owned by the United States. I'm Cuban, so I know what happens in Cuba's prisons. As in, the prisons owned by the country of Cuba. You should read the book "Against All Hope". It's about a man who was locked in prison for 20 years given barely any food, barely even surviving. All that torture for just speaking out against the government. And there's a huge fuss being made about terrorists getting water dropped on their head? They killed...

[frictionlessmotion]

@robinvan1983 innocent civilians. Learn something about what you're talking about before you start talking crap. My uncle was tortured for nearly a year in Cuba. What goes on in Cuba's prisons is much worse than anything the terrorists in Guantánamo Bay go through. And worse, it's for saying something about the government or something as simple as having an American dollar. Imagine that the first time you disagreed with a President it's 20 years, the second it's life, and the third is...

[frictionlessmotion]

@robinvan1983 execution. Is that justice for you? It's not just for terrorists to undergo water-boarding, even though they killed hundreds of people? You might have thought differently had you been one of the relatives of one of the terrorists' victims.

[MidnightChimes]

Hmmmm. For all the teabaggers who don't trust the government with their money...they sure seem to trust the government with their lives. Taxes...not good....Torture...good.

[boots920]

That's the problem when you get caught beyond a reasonable doubt. You can't trust the government when they get caught in a lie. Buddy just died from "suicide", 41 year old CFO of Freddie Mac.

Your citizens sure seem to come down with bad cases of assignation and suicide.  Hopefully its not contagious...

[doug47130]

We don't look into it because it's that whole people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks thing.

[downwindspiral]

wow,

i did not know that the USA was torturing people in all those places also,

[terpis]

"this is about revenge"

No, it's about being a nation of laws, not powerful individuals. "Revenge" would be to legally mandate a feature on Fox and Friends that put in place random (but oft-resorted to), on-camera forced waterboarding for Steve Douchey...with lots of slo-mo and close-ups to capture the pants-pissing and high-pitched shriek-pleading.

THAT'd be 'revenge'...'not that there's anything wrong with that'.

[FoShizzle951]

Only a brain-washed fascist would support torture.

GOP = Fascist

[ushadrons]

This video makes clear the reality of limbic brain disorder. Those who suffer from this disorder live in a world of subjective reality, clinging to this world constructed with prefabricated lies. When confronted by the truth they create absurd arguements based on fallicies. When pressed they become increasingly irrational, and exhibit abusive and violent behaviour.

[d3v07]

Why is faux news even still around?

[azas1949]

because there are too many lazy people who don't think or read - they depend on other sources for their information

[ArkeAngelRevonulet]

Faux noize We prove everyday we are not journalists but necon/repub talking points bitches!

[notscooter952]

To BHGTNSD: Deal with your own country's problems before you start meddling in the affairs of others.

[Felix1049]

sorry to be the ones to break it to these asshats, but the US has been condemning torture in both of those places for years...unfortunately, they have no jurisdiction in Cuba or Iran....but what does that have to do with our elected officials condoning a torture technique that we jailed at least 10 japanese soldiers for, with varying severe punishments for conducting the same torture (waterboarding) on our men in WW2?

[Pleblian]

Exactly Felix, the US needs to clean up it's own back yard before trying clean up someone elses.

[3star2nr]

"What happened in the gaza strip"

LOL is an american reporter finally speaking the truth about Israel.

wow

[WKaliberr]

I think that dumbass wanted to blame Palestinians for something again but got the wording wrong lmao

[dogstar7]

Did these guys learn nothing in preschool?

"Johnny, you get a time out for hitting"

"But Suzy and Ronnie in 2nd Grade hit too!

Why aren't you giving them time outs?

Waaaaa waaaa waaaaa!"

[XMADDMARSX]

HANG BUSH!!!!!!!!!!

[HabitualNightOwl]

Somehow they think America has jurisdiction to prosecute what foreign governments do???

Man they are getting really nervous really fast. Attorney General Holder hasn't even said anything yet. Calm down folks.

This isn't about what Cubans or Iranians do. This is about what the previous administration and what they did under our name and how they pissed on the constitution and International laws we are (at least supposed to) abide by.

[brukins]

LOL these guys are nuts!

[RZetlin]

Is Fox saying that America should be like Cuba and Iran?

[bobbooty]

No, they're saying we should ignore our own crimes and only look at the crimes of others.

[Bosco239]

American World Police...

[digamejh]

America... FUCK YEAH!
