CNN - Debating Cheney's Gitmo/Torture Assertions, 5/23/09

I debated conservative blowhard Chris Plante on CNN about former Vice President Dick Cheney's dishonest assertions that torture and the Gitmo prison helped save thousands of lives. As you will see, this debate gets incredibly heated.

Bwah ha ha...hard to ignore it, isn't it?

But, I must admit, that I've never been called the "new Jesus" before. Too funny!

What's really "FUCKED" is how you can call someone, that you've never even met in person, a "bitch" just because she doesn't "think" like you do.

Even more "FUCKED UP" than that, is your need to feel compelled to hijack this entire video clip, with all your rants about abortion, and how you constantly talk about people and judge people.

Small minds talk about people...

Big minds talk about things...

Really incredible minds do great things for all people.

Try it sometime?

Either the US believes in the ideas of the men who founded this country or it does not. The Rights of Man and Reason were the order of the day (some hypocrisy noted), and the idea of holding people indefinitely in a place other than the US simply to avoid giving them the rights due them on US soil could not be any more wrong, no matter what information was gleaned. Should we do medical experiments on them too? The Bill of Rights was meant to apply during war as well as peace.

Uh, I don't want the terrorist riff raff here so their bronze age, throw back brothers can come here and fuck around. No thanks!

David Sirota: "Looking for the truth is not siding with Al Qaeda"

Chris Plante: "Boom!"

Wow, good comeback there Chris LOL

[Neuwo]

Plante wiped the floor with Sirota's filibuster/childish-argument. The naïveté of Sirota's argument is beyond juvenile. The Obama administration blacked out the "results" from the CIA documents about the waterboarding of the few chief Al-Qaeda terrorists... the blacked out sections detail the results (read as thousands of American lives saved) by dunking 3 guys in water.

they water boarded KSM less than 10 times and he sang like a bird.and it prevented an attack on LA.The next city could be yours or mine.CIA call me.I'll be glad to pay the water bill" less

Those "other" women Gave up their choices when the had sex and got pregnant (unless raped) Now they need to step up to the plate and take responsibility for their choice to get pregnant in the first place (because that's a possibility every time you have sex so it was a choice) and take care of that baby. Why is that so hard to see? Or would you rather people be able to make choices without consequence?

I'm still waiting for your reference where a US prisoner had electricty injected that burned his insides?

Yeah prisoners would never lie! No, they are trustworthy and if they said it then it must be true! Every prisoner in the US right now claims they are innocent too!

But, they can always find some left wing nut job like yourself who will gladly believe every word they say.

You are a stupid, stupid man! I mean boy!

Man im trying to understand ur point of view but its hard to accept ignorance, which u clearly have. I bet ur one of those right wing lunatics that thinks the Crusades are still not over. U probly get ur sources from Fox (FAUX) news, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, and O'reilly. And actually u never really addressed whether or not torture produces good intel. So do u honestly think that torture gave us vital information that saved lives? or do u think they just crapped their pants and said anything?

[aSingleDallasGuy]

Who is "Him" and tell me where your information is gathered from? I'm sure some liberal and/or right wing muslim piece of crap web site or Aljezeera! It sounds like you get all you info from these misinformation sources. I'm sure you think God is a muslim.

If you had your choice to be captured by these terrorists or the US, I can guarantee you would much rather be a prisoner of the US. This way you get to keep you head on your neck and shoulders.

So, spare me you whining! Get educated!

No they electrocuted him, which caused the electricity to burn his internal organs u fucktard. I forgot u can't understand wat torture does to the body. Anyways, i didnt say they were "all" inocent. Read my comments a bit more closely, b4 u spew shit out of ur mouth. SOME of them were enemy combatants, but when we used torture on them, they said anything we wanted them to, b/c they thought they were going to die. Meaning, the intel. was crap. In other words Torture=bad intelligence. Get it?
