YOU'RE RACIST!

[assault82nd]

Also these torture acts were committed overseas they are subject tot he laws of that coutnry so this lawyer needs to go fuck himself.

[assault82nd]

Believe it or not, but this bullhockey about not torturing is just nonsense. We as a nation gave a promise for political purposes not anythign more. We prosecuted other nations for inherently killing their own people not torture but genocide the lawyer is wrong. Another thing, we need to go back to the time s of wars like world war 2 and so forth and utilize the integrity of the people at that time, no more should we conzy up tot he enemy kill them all. politics and war do not go together.

no way would obama say something like that now. he's moved so far to the right in so little time if he were asked that today he'd say the bush administration was right to torture

[smiledammit24]

Ironic.

eksdem, of course Olbermann is being disingenuous when he says Hannity is denying money to troops... he's trying to apply pressure on - and yes, "hound" - Hannity to agree to be water-boarded.

As far as I'm aware, nobody who has undergone water-boarding has ever rated it as anything less than torture. Hannity needs to understand that or undergo it himself.

This is a mayor issue, forget about the swine Flu, that is just a distraction. If we don't procecute it will be the end for the USA.

-----

Olbermann doesn't want Hannity to volunteer. Olbermann is hounding Hannity.

ALSO

Olbermann is being dishonest when he says Hannity is denying thousands of dollars to troops and their families.

Olbermann earns $7.5 million dollars a year. He can give to charity any time he wants.

This smells like a bait and switch deal arranged by Grodin and Olbermann.

[SelfImmolator]

eksdem, Olbermann doesn't think water-boarding is immoral in all circumstances. Olbermann supports water-boarding in SERE training. The water-boarding of Hannity would be of the controlled SERE-kind that Chris Hitchens volunteered for.

Olbermann wants Hannity to volunteer to do it... and he's offering an extra incentive.

I can't believe Buchanan is arguing a president can break the law! That's not what he said in '98. Are republican presidents above the law? Jonathan is a man of honor. He should be a Chief Justice. Thanks to him we can see the difference between bs and truth.
