"Waterboarding is Torture" | Says Conservative

That one way of waterboarding, The way they really do it is by taking a towel and rapping it around the whole face and head, and if that's not hard enough to breath, then poor the water on the face/towel creating a water seal so once you try and breath in it's all water,

Now this video does make the point and he only lasted a few seconds of them not even doing it right.

What a crazy world...

In other words, liberals just tortured (by their own definition) a talk show host to get him to say waterboarding is torture, but they're unwilling to waterboard terrorists to extract information.

[Jeremy1281988]

How did "liberals" waterboard him? He offered to be waterboarded, hoping to prove it WASNT torture... just like Sean Hannity said he would (but never did)... Of course he only lasted 4 and a half seconds and said it is DEFINITELY torture.

And just to let you know, we prosecuted and EXECUTED Japanese who waterboarded our men. Its not if we want to or don't want to waterboard them, its simply not allowed by the Geneva Convention. America can't choose which rules to follow or not follow.

[Jeremy1281988]

Err, by 4 and a half seconds I meant 6 seconds.

[fjccommish]

So he was waterboarded, as I said, to get him to admit waterboarding is torture. When the Japanese waterboarded, they did it as torture, with no goal other than to harm people. People died during the process. Mancow wouldn't have volunteered for the Japanese brand of waterboarding. A talk show host volunteering for a process, and within seconds after undergoing it not even being out of breath, proves it isn't torture.

[Jeremy1281988]

no, not even close. He was waterboarding because he wanted to prove that it was NOT torture, something he was saying on his program.

And remember, Mancow was waterboarded much easier than they were waterboarding at Gitmo, and he couldn't even make it halfway to the normal time.

BTW, there was no "liberal" involved in this. I know its fun to blame "liberals" though.

[Jeremy1281988]

and don't give me this BS about the Japs waterboarding worse than America. It either is or isn't torture. I don't think you would know how hard officials at Gitmo waterboarded those 3 people over and over.

And trust me, i'm pretty sure even the people against torture would love to waterboard the PROVEN terrorists (because lots are held there with no proof and no rights) over and over. Its just simply illegal.

[fjccommish]

He would not have subjected himself to real torture, and he wouldn't be perfectly fine 3 seconds after being tortured.

This was a challenge put out by Olbermann, who basically wanted to use waterboarding to force conservative commentators (Mancow is a 28th string conservative commentator) to say waterboarding is torture. It isn't.

People don't voluntarily submit to torture. They aren't perfectly fine when it ends. Again, this proves waterboarding is effective, but not torture.

[Jeremy1281988]

LOL. It figures that the neo-cons, once one of their own admits waterboarding is torture, they try to discredit him as not a true conservative, lol.

And Keith Olbermann only issued a challenge to SEAN HANNITY AFTER HANNITY ALREADY OFFERED TO GET WATERBOARDED FOR CHARITY. He just tried to keep him to his word (which of course hannity didn't have the balls to do).

[Sinisterene]

Nancy Pelosi would disagree with you.

Regardless, it's still ineffective, unconstitutional and immoral.

[fjccommish]

It worked in this video, it worked when used twice against admitted terrorists, and it isn't unconstitutional the way it was carried out with those terrorists. BTW, if it were illegal, then this video shows an illegal activity.

[Sinisterene]

It only "worked" in the limited sense that you got him to say something YOU WANTED HIM TO SAY, not necessarily something truthful or otherwise (not unlike extracting a false confession).

Amendment 8: (...) nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

He was voluntarily waterboarded, not unlike recruits who are voluntarily waterboarded as part of their training, and I REALLY doubt you'd say that is illegal

PS: signed release, smartass

[whitetuber]

And by the way, Mancow is not a conservative. He's a Libertarian.

[whitetuber]

Love this show, I listen to Mancow everyday. Thanks for posting.

[gsuitter]

radiofriendly posted " Share this video" and was flagged as spam. The torture results must have pissed off a few neo-cons.

[Bonecrkr]

In tomorrow's episode, Mancow has his nuts sliced off with a dull knife and the would sealed with a blowtorch. Ground glass will then be shoved up his anus while he is repeatedly kicked by several men in jackboots.

He'll compare and contrast that experience with what is going on here.
