Hannity’s Two-Week Silence: Is He Ready To Admit Waterboarding Is Torture?
Hannity’s Two-Week Silence: Is He Ready To Admit Waterboarding Is Torture?
On April 22, Fox News’ Sean Hannity volunteered to be waterboarded after ardently defending the practice and excoriating President Obama for ending the technique. “Clearly this president has not done his homework, and it is putting each and every American at risk,” Hannity said about ending torture. Declaring he is “for enhanced interrogation,” Hannity said he would happily consent to being waterboarded as a fundraiser “for the troops’ families.”
However, two weeks later, Hannity has yet to mention the promise again — despite the offer from MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann to help Hannity raise funds by donating $1,000 for every second Hannity is waterboarded.
As Olbermann has explained, the point would not be to watch Hannity suffer. Rather, it would be to prove to him — and perhaps his viewers — that waterboarding is in fact “cruel, inhuman” torture — that it is what an adviser on terrorism to the departments of Homeland Security, Special Operations, and Intelligence called “slow-motion suffocation.”
Indeed, the 2005 torture memo written by Steven Bradbury required the CIA to have a tracheotomy kit on hand to revive a detainee who had effectively drowned:
[A] detainee could suffer spasms of the larynx that would prevent him from breathing even when the application of water is stopped and the detainee is returned to an upright position. In the event of such spasms, a qualified physician would immediately intervene to address the problem, and, if necessary, the intervening physician would perform a tracheotomy. …we are informed that the necessary emergency medical equipment is always present – although not visible to the detainee — during any application of the waterboard.
A footnote to the memo warns, “for reasons of physical fatigue or psychological resignation, the subject may simply give up, allowing excessive filling of the airways,” and “aggressive medical intervention” may be required to restore breathing. And yet Hannity continues to insist, “It’s not drowning.”

Hannity is a pansy coward blowhard.
He would never ‘man up’ to a real challenge.
That’s what makes him a perfect Republican.
May 7th, 2009 at 12:52 pmNo.
May 7th, 2009 at 12:53 pmThe Karma that awaits that lying lip-less bastard will be far worse than the war crimes and torture that Hannity and his ilk have pimped.
May 7th, 2009 at 12:59 pmI have a feeling that this is not the first check Hannity’s mouth wrote that his butt couldn’t cash.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:00 pmI don’t blame Hannity for not wanting to be waterboarded, but I do blame him for ignoring he said he would in the first place.
Waterboarding is torture and this country waterboarded. To allow Congress and this administration to ignore it is to be as bad as Hannity.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:00 pmSean has self-volunteered to water torture himself. He got himself a neti pot, irrigated his nostrils and gave a false confession to make himself stop. He, also, reports that his sinus condition is much improved and recommends that the more water boarding of Americans there is, the less likely that America’s best days are behind her.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:00 pmA) Hannity is a coward
May 7th, 2009 at 1:03 pmB) Hannity is a liar
C) If Hannity is so sure that he’d be able to withstand waterboarding, and that it wouldn’t be “torture” what makes him think that waterboarding is any more effective at securing information than just asking nicely?
Personally I would think that if a soft suburban white boy like Hannity can go through waterboarding without agreeing to sell his own mother for a crack whore, it would have to be totally unpersuasive for a real tough guy.
Hannity’s admission that waterboarding is torture does not absolve him from his promise to be waterboarded. KO should keep the countdown clock running on this one.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:03 pmHannitea would prefer to be teabagged by Rush, I believe.
Chickenshit chickenhawks are a dime a dozen.
What say you, Rush?
May 7th, 2009 at 1:07 pmum, maybe you didn’t hear, but sean’s dad was in WWII so he can say whatever he wants…
May 7th, 2009 at 1:08 pmWhat can we expect from a guy who can’t Man Up for spicy mustard?!
May 7th, 2009 at 1:09 pmWhen push comes to shove, its amazing how these blowhards manage to avoid any real accountibility ….
May 7th, 2009 at 1:12 pmIF he ever mans up and puts Olberman’s where Hannity’s mouth is … I wonder how many times he’d have to be waterboarded before he admits that it really is torture.
I’d guess once.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:12 pmIt’s not that he’s afraid of waterboarding. He’s afraid of what he might say about that dead girl found in his office while being waterboarded. He has his precious career to think about, don’t cha know.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:12 pmFirst, I’m a huge supporter of the President.
That being said, this is all a mute point.
It appears that President Obama and Attorney General Holder have decided NOT to pursue anything against anyone.
Even if they went forward, committees from Conyers and Leahy aren’t going to do anything of any value.
America’s “high morals” got flushed down the toilet by the Bush administration and the stench has been ignored for eternity by a spineless Democratic party.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:15 pmOlbermann wasn’t anywhere around when Hannity offered to be waterboarded for charity to prove it wasn’t torture. Keith just offered to help raise funds for the charity. Why don’t you try reading the article before spouting off.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:23 pmSee what happens when you drop the “I think” from “I think it’s not torture”?
The fact that a tracheotomy kit is by the tortured detainee during these instances gives me the funny feeling that is how the pundits are going to argue against this memo. It’s not “torture” if there is a way to revive the tortured, right?
No, it’s a way to revive the tortured so that your ass doesn’t face more severe charges.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:25 pmSorry dogjudge the point is most definately NOT moot. Even if AG Holder and President Obama do not want to begin an investigation, the US is obligated under signed treaties to investigate even the POSSIBILITY that war crimes were commited. If we don’t, the international tribunals will begin. One way or another justice will be done.
BTW go Cheney yourself ConservativeForProgress. “Known terrorists”? How may I ask do you “know” that they are terrorists? Because they told you so after you tortured them? If they are so well known may I ask why neither one has faced a judge? Mr. Olbermann has expressed his opinion that if Hannity doesn’t believe that it is torture, has agreed to undergo waterboarding to prove it and then changes his little mind then he is either a liar or a hypocrite. So which is it? I vote both but then again I live in a fact-based world unlike FOX news people and their sicophantic admirers.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:26 pmConservativeForProgress Says: lying lies
Olberman did not start this – Hannity OFFERED to be waterboarded because he does not think it is torture. Olberman simply told him to put up or shut up.
Ratings make absolutely no difference. Just because a bunch of people agree to something, does not make it right or moral. History is full of such “common nonsense”: epilepsy as demonic possession, the sun circling the earth, making gold out of mercury, etc.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:26 pmConservativeForProgress @ 16:
May 7th, 2009 at 1:28 pmAbsolutely not true. I believe Olbermann would rather Hannity simple agreed that waterboarding is torture. But then, that admission would bring Hannity’s carefully constructed conservatism down like a house of cards. Olbermann did not dare Hannity to be waterboarded; Hannity agreed to do it in a conversation with Charles Grodin. Now, of course, Olbermann has the philosophical upper hand, no matter the ratings, with Keith’s constant reminders to Hannity of this agreement, which he has not fulfilled. Perhaps Hannity remembers the article conservative Christopher Hitchens wrote after he was waterboarded, in which Hitchens at last admitted: waterboarding is torture.

The Red Cross Torture Report: What It Means
By Mark Danner

May 7th, 2009 at 1:28 pmWhy do wingnuts always cable news ratings when they have nothing to do with the story?
They never provide a link to their information, either, which makes their off-topic argument such as it is, immediately suspect.
Do Olbermanns’ ratings have anything to do with the fact that Hannity shot off his big mouth but appears reluctant to follow through on his boast?
May 7th, 2009 at 1:29 pmConservativeForProgress Says:
Democrats have controlled congress for over three years. Are you better off now than you were three years ago?
YES!
No soup for you! Next!
May 7th, 2009 at 1:31 pmAbsolutely false.
Democrats took over the majority in January, 2007 after the 2006 midterms.
They have controlled Congress for a little over two years. After for the first two years, they had to contend with a Republican president and a razor-thin margin in the Senate, which severely reduced their power to enact a progressive agenda.
Bad talking point. Try a new one.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:31 pmConservativeForProgress, Newsmax? You’re kidding right? How about a link to those Nielsen charts? I don’t see them anywhere.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:31 pmralph,
May 7th, 2009 at 1:32 pmBecause the price of tea in China changes all facts…?
ConservativeForProgress Says: Democrats have controlled congress for over three years. Are you better off now than you were three years ago?
Controlled? It was not veto-proof and the Democrats barely
had a majority.
It’s interesting that you can’t look at the change over the last three months and ask if we are better off since January 2009. BushCo was like a Category 8 Hurricane – it’s going to take a great deal of time to clean up the mess made by the previous administration.
Ask if we are better off in January 2010.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:33 pmIt’s too bad our country isn’t idiot-proof.
Since CFP is goin’ all “OT” on us, maybe he wants to revisit the “Republicans were on the side of blacks in the 1800s” talking point that he tried to flog in the Sotomayor thread earlier.
Oh yeah… he got his a$$ handed to him on that one, so maybe not.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:33 pmSean is just a total piece of sh!t subhuman scum to begin with…
…so it is not out of character for him to lie and then ignore it…
…it’s what chicken-hawks do.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:34 pmOne thing I wonder about these “ratings” is whether or not they take into account internet viewing or DVR’ing. I, for example, have Olberman and Ed running in the background while I am at work the morning after the show airs….
In any case, Hannity, like Limbaugh, is a low intellect radio DJ who really lucked out. I don’t how people can take uneducated DJs so seriously.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:35 pmConservativeForProgress Says:
SCOREBOARD!
Look, if the man in the top slot brags to the world that he’ll do something, what are we supposed to do: sit there, do nothing and like it? Olbermann played the punk card; Hannity’s going to have to pick it up at some point.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:35 pmYou really think Vanity is telling the truth when he speaks? Don’t fall into that trap. When he said he’d volunteer to be waterboarded he was obviously lieing. Again. Don’t take anything he says seriously. You’re giving him way to much credit. I know a coward when I see one and they usually have the Faux news logo to thier left.

May 7th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Thus proving once again that while Olberman does not want to see us interrogate known terrorists to save American lives, he wants to waterboard conservative talk show hosts. It’s no wonder Olberman’s ratings are a small fraction of Hannity’s and he is trying such a cheap ($1,000 a second — cheapskate) publicity stunt.
___________________________________________________________
I don’t suppose you ever think before you post? If you did, you might realize this raving is indicative of your lack of intelligence, or your assumption of our lack of intelligence.
First — Keith Olbermann isn’t in favor of waterboarding ANYBODY. It’s not as if he just decided to call for waterboarding Hannity out of the blue. Sean Hannity VOLUNTEERED to be waterboarded, as part of a rant on how trivial waterboarding is. Olbermann is merely holding Hannity to that promise, to make the following points:
1. Waterboarding is torture.
2. Torture is not trivial.
3. Blowhards should put up or shut up.
Now, I notice you have not defended Hannity’s reneging on his promise in any way. Instead, you attack Olbermann’s counterpromise as a “stunt” (Hannity’s wasn’t a stunt?), and take two other refuges of cowards — the meme that this interrogation technique saves American lives (often said, never proven or even convincingly backed up), and blathering about ratings, as if that proves something.
Ratings are not an indicator of quality or accuracy. Just as the number of Big Macs sold isn’t an indicator of how good they are — just how available and inexpensive.
When a troll is reduced to bragging about Fox News ratings, it’s a sign he/she has run out of all other debate points.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:40 pmThe recession started in 2007, the Iraq war in 2003, the ill named patriot act passed in 2001, warrantless wiretaps..
No, Im still suffering from 1994-2008..
May 7th, 2009 at 1:43 pmFix news talk about their wonderful ratings.
First of all, and I’m not trying to sound insensitive, but who really watches evening shows like Beck, Billo, and Manatee?
Generally, Fix News viewers are probably the” hard core right wing-nuts” that are elderly, white, southern folks. They need their daily shot of Fear and Unbalanced news.
“Most” of the general voting public are at baseball and soccer practice with their kids, watching espn or sports on TV, and generally living their lives and not watching hate news on Fix news.
Most people are intelligent enough to get there news from a variety of sources and make their minds accordingly…like we did in November!
May 7th, 2009 at 1:43 pmThey equate Faux news ratings with some kind of justification for thier nutty ideas. I’ve been watching thier crap for years and still think it’s crap.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:44 pmWhat’s wrong with pulling a specter? He’s probably aiming to join the Dems in Arlen’s footsteps.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:44 pmConservativeforprogress, are you a conservative for truth? How about facts?
Hannity started it and KO is just trying to keep him honest. So far Hannity is shown to be a liar.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:45 pmThis is what happens when one takes a “position” on an issue rather than “reporting” on it. You’re critics will always be there to take you up on a position.
We should just put Keith and Hanity in a room and have a LIVE debate about their opposing positions. After that, Bill O. can have a shot. We need more reporting and less mud slinging especially now. Out corporate media is just profiting from our division as a nation and nudging it along. Corporate owned media should be banned like it used to be – it’s one of our founding principals.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:46 pmobami is escalating afghanistan and hes only going by the exit agreement that the bush administration secured for iraq. obami has done nothing special. he is .. a terrorist appeasing declassifying special olympics insulting economy murdering birth certificate fabricating little smarmy pants. muthaf uckas. oh and george zinkhan is a liberal democrat.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:46 pmActually Hannity volunteered to be waterboarded for charity. Hitchens also volunteered–then agreed it was torture.
As for Olbermann I dont watch him and his opinion doesnt stop torture. As for being known terrorists there has been no trial, I also note hundreds have been released because they have no intelligence value.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:47 pmYou should be jumping for joy,,,right?

May 7th, 2009 at 1:49 pmSean Hannity will continue to hide behind his good friend, “Ollie North,” who claimed that (1) he was waterboarded and (2) waterboarding is not torture. That’s all we’re gonna get from Sean Not-A-Man-nity.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:49 pmCome to Mars. We got a deal for your delusions.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:50 pmBecause 297 million Americans dont watch FOX makes their ideology the troof!
May 7th, 2009 at 1:51 pmOkay, here’s the beauty in all of this for me.
In order for Hanniteabagger to truly understand waterboarding, he needs to experience it. In order for him to experience it without dying (no, I don’t want him to die) he and the waterboarders have to establish a “safe sign” so he can have it stopped when he can’t take it any more.
BUT, to fully realize just how tortureous waterboarding is, the handlers have to ignore the “safe sign” for at least 15 seconds. Fifteen seconds is not long, but it sure will feel like it to Mr. Hanniteabagger.
So, to get around this 15-second bonus, would Sean give the “safe sign” 15 seconds before he thinks he’ll really need it? Because that would be essentially when it begins.
Does he think he can just hold his breath? Does he realize that the waterboarders will slam on his chest to expel that air?
Wow, I don’t have a lot of extra cash right now, but I would pay real money to watch him piss his pants and cry like a little girl.
PEACE
May 7th, 2009 at 1:52 pmI think a more appropraite question would be, Why does Hannity hate the troops and their families?
I think that is a question he can better relate to. After all, HE was the one who said he would do it for charity. So that the troops and their families could receive some financial assistance. Olbermann is even guaranteeing VERY generous donation to this cause.
Clearly Hannity doesn’t want to help the troops. Clearly his support is nothing more than token BS to make himself look good on TV at the expense of the people he wants to put in harms way. I guess Hannity loves the troops, as long as they are the ones being put in harms way so he can sit safely in his studio, and get paid millions to use them like props.
So why does Hannity hate the troops and their families?
May 7th, 2009 at 1:52 pmYou know, I was wondering why the grate George Bush was missing all during the 08′ presidential campaign and RNC conventions….pray tell NP?
May 7th, 2009 at 1:53 pmWhy pick on Hannity? At least in my opinion, he is only a mouthpiece of sleeze from where he gets a paycheck, for saying what Fox and the therefor Repugs employ him. Obama is evil that refuses to carry out his sworn duties and won’t allow prosecution of the enemies that have done real damage to our Constitution, while he continues in the crimes against humanity of the former evil Bush/Cheney regime. The present congress and president manipulate words and lies with the same ease as the former. Being. Has there been any lessoning of the killing of inncocent people in the Middle East where our government lied to start the slaughter? Has there been any indicatioin that Obama is in pursuit of the truth of what really happened on September 11, 2001? Will he allow the truth of the anthrax murders? Obama knows very well that none of the wars on the Middle East sovereign lands are just or legal. They were begun and continued based completely on lies and fraud. The real terrorists are not extremist of the Middle East, but right here leading this banana republic. The problems of the Middle East that were not of our own government’s evil doing are internal problems of the Middle East, and not ours to solve.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:53 pmAnd how is it that the first MBA president created less jobs in fifty years than non-MBA presidents…and how is it that an MBA free market guy engineered a bailout for wall street?

May 7th, 2009 at 1:55 pmThe is evidently true, but they will never come out and say so. I have asked trolls dozens of times to explain the significance of cable news ratings when they bring them up, and I have never gotten an answer from a single troll.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:55 pmI watch Faux just to keep updated on whats the newest propoganda. Thier own polls show I’m not alone.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:55 pmleave hannity alone xisi he is a reagan republican. energy independence, fiscal responsibility, pro-family, pro-freedom, pro-growth all that good stuff.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:57 pmDaily, Hannratty PROVES he is a coward and a liar. He doesn’t have to do anything since the passing of the days proves it over and over.
Once again – Hannratty = LIAR and COWARD.
May 7th, 2009 at 1:58 pmralph you gave me advice on the other thread that was a thinly veiled insult. if you ever cross me again you will be on a hannity segment. are we clear, motherf ucker?
May 7th, 2009 at 2:01 pmBwhahahahah. You funny.
May 7th, 2009 at 2:03 pmSomebody–MSNBC?–should put up a button counting the minutes (or hours, ore even days) since Hannity made, but has not backed up, his boast.
At the top of every MSNBC page, in the corner, under the legend:
You have to humiliate these phuquers. It’s the only way to put ‘em down…
May 7th, 2009 at 2:03 pmDJ Sean Hannity is praying for another terror attack so Olbermann will be distracted and get off his back.
May 7th, 2009 at 2:04 pmSo why doesn’t every person leaving a comment on here merely take to action and CALL SEAN HANNITY’S Radio show once everyday betwee 3pm-6pm EST at 800.941.7326 (per his radio show’s website) to ASK HANNITY DIRECTLY why he hasn’ty undergone waterboarding in the name of charity for the troops’ families?!!!
May 7th, 2009 at 2:04 pmWaterboarding was invented as a torture technique and has been recognized as such since the Spanish Inquistion.
I will take the side of World History over DJ Sean Hannity.

Thanks.
P.S. Read my post @ 47.
May 7th, 2009 at 2:11 pmneoparody suggests that Hannity is basically pro-humanity and anti-bad things.
He does it without much verve, however. Not much spark, no energy.
May 7th, 2009 at 2:11 pm“Thinly veiled insult”?
I thought is was darned good advice and politely presented. I thought creative criticism was part of a performers feedback and training routine…
May 7th, 2009 at 2:11 pmOlbermann is a GE executive?
May 7th, 2009 at 2:12 pmIt seems CFP is our latest Olbermann-deranged troll.
Otherwise, why would he keep ignoring the fact that Hannity’s mouth wrote a check his butt can’t cash, and Olbermann is simply calling him on it?
May 7th, 2009 at 2:13 pmThanks, dbadass. Some artists are so sensitive about criticism of any kind, even the less-accomplished ones.

May 7th, 2009 at 2:37 pmJust goes to show, that when push comes to shove, the Rethuglicans remain the biggest of Chickenhawks……quite willing to let other REAL Americans take responsibility for all the crap they think up, but not willing to defend their country or suffer for principles if it involves any sort of uncomfortable or inconvenient action on their part. Their motto should be “The Party of Cowards”.

May 7th, 2009 at 2:38 pmWow. Since when is Olberman an employee of GE? Last I checked, he is employed by MSNBC which, despite being owned by GE, is its own company. Olberman’s cheques would come from MSNBC, signed not by GE but by his own companies boss.
And last I heard, MSNBC has seen both their ratings and profits increase lately. Mainly thanks to Olberman.
You ignorant Republican tools may as well be arguing that Pizza Hut employees shouldn’t take a raise if Pepsi Co. got a bail out. Despite Pepsi owning Pizza Hut (or at least they used to) they are two totally different companies with different sets of financial books.
May 7th, 2009 at 2:51 pmWhat, he still hasn’t done it? I guess we are all surprised by that. Right? If it’s not really torture then what is the problem?
May 7th, 2009 at 2:52 pmPerhaps Neo doesn’t know what parody means? Education is sorely lacking in many.
May 7th, 2009 at 3:02 pmHannity is a pathetic, loud, coward.
May 7th, 2009 at 3:17 pmThe Ballad of Brave Sir Sean
Bravely bold Sir Sean rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Sean!
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Sean!
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken;
To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away;
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Sean!
His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off
And his pen–
Brave Sir Sean ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Sean turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Sean!
He is packing it in and packing it up
May 7th, 2009 at 3:19 pmAnd sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge…
Yep… CFP has gone ’round the bend on this Olbermann obsession.
It is a by-now familiar pattern among his type, trollus obnoxious.
May 7th, 2009 at 3:19 pmHannity is weting his pants!
May 7th, 2009 at 3:20 pmConservativeForProgress Says:
What, Olbermann still hasn’t given back his share of the GE bailout money? I guess we are all surprised by that. Right? If it’s “class economic rape” (his words) then what is the problem?
I must have missed the show where Olbermann publicly declared he would give his share of the bailout money back, and then failed to do it.
Unlike Hannity, who opened up his yapper to say he would do something, and then hasn’t found the cojones to actually do it.
May 7th, 2009 at 3:26 pmI think it was torture and the correct thing to do if it stopped additional attacks. Observing that tenant of the Geneva Convention did not protect our troops from torture in previous wars in WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, so don’t use that as an intellectual argument against it.
Many would probably believe these terrorists just need a hug.

Coward. Selling your principles and honor for fake safety. That’s not the USA that the rest of the world looked up to, in the 50’s and 60’s.

May 7th, 2009 at 3:50 pmConservativeForProgress, GE CAPITAL, got a bailout at the end of September. Keith doesn’t work for the financial services arm of GE and he’s not an officer of the corportation. He didn’t TAKE a raise, NBC negotiated a contract with him. And NBC is a minor portion of GE’s business.
May 7th, 2009 at 3:57 pmPlease Washington Report, no intellectual arguement needed to refute you, because you lack any intellect. People were tried and SENTENCED to death for use of torture and waterboarding from most of the wars you listed.
You call what you are patriotism? Resorting to torture to ease your paranoia? When the scientific and interragation experts both on record stating that information from such means is a crapshoot?
And then to wrap up your stupidity, you imply that the only option other than torture is ‘a hug,’ again completely disregarding SANE experts that have gone on record to detail waaaaay more efficient means of intelligence gathering.
Your simplemindedness is astounding, and its citizens like you that lower our average intelligence to the point of idiocy.
May 7th, 2009 at 3:59 pmI’m thinking Keith’s salary isn’t an issue. However because of Rush’s $44M salary his boss had extensive layoffs.
May 7th, 2009 at 4:01 pmIf Sean really loves the troops and the families of the troops, he will not only agree to follow through on his promise, he will let Keith Olbermann do the waterboarding.

Sounds to me like someone needs a Care Bear Stare.
May 7th, 2009 at 4:21 pmHannity is the type of guy who only goes into a rival’s challenge with his own posse behind him so he doesn’t have to do anything to get his hands dirty.
So no, Keith Olbermann and all of us will never see Inannity man up to his cowardice. The dominant never wants to be the submissive in the GOP.
May 7th, 2009 at 4:55 pmIf I was to ever torture anyone it would be those losers at the Privacy Center….
May 7th, 2009 at 5:02 pmHannity Insanity would never admit waterboarding is torture, unless of course, it would happen to him, family or friends, yea, I’m sure of it, he has friends, Rush, John Bolton, Ingraham, Ann Couitus or is it Coulter, Ah, who cares. I am sure of one thing, he would order it on any of his skeletons in his family’s closet, friends and neighbors who had a mischievous dog or cat, someone’s sister who stood him up or laughed at him during recess at Fox News, walta minute, does Fox News deserve capital letters, Hiel Hitler no! its fix news ad nauseum
May 7th, 2009 at 5:36 pm115 drunkfoulmouthfiltybeast,
you’re giving me a great idea. Instead of Olberman’s offer of so many $ per second of torture, why not make it so many dollars that Hannity can watch his family waterboarded ?
Sick idea, I know. But would definitely help clarify the Reichtwing’s ability to notice if it is torture.

May 7th, 2009 at 6:54 pmI’ll help donate to the water board fund raising event. Might even toss a coupla nickles to Ruperts empire/dunk tank…
Take the kids & the laid off Fox employees to Disney Land. They have plenty of water.
Hey I’m just one of those main stream dumb sh*ts on the street that you like to make fun of but I’m thinking your fund raiser would help heal America in many ways. Plus the foreign peeps could enjoy your fund raising event.
Shawn,follow through because we will never forget…
Hannity, accept a reality. say it.
May 7th, 2009 at 8:45 pmI don’t know, guys. While a fundraiser is no doubt a noble cause, tying it to a serious issue such as a waterboarding event seems to me as another way for Sean to make light of the situation. The underlying theme that I think he wants to express is that waterboarding is no big deal, thus his followers will dismiss it as nothing more than child’s play and soon forget he even mentioned it.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:56 pmMaybe Hannity and Coulter can be water boarded on the buddy system……..
May 8th, 2009 at 3:25 amLook what I found when opening the paper today.

Proves once again that he is the stupidest piece of garbage to ever post on the internet. Knowing he is far too stupid to EVER know what he is talking about he comes here to annoy us. Its all he has since no one likes him no one respects him he has the IQ of a garden pea and scumsucking slimemolds wont even bother with his putrefying corpse out of professional courtesy. A disgusting pustulent herpes sore of subhuman moron. He has nothing to offer humanity except the stench of his rotting soul.
May 8th, 2009 at 7:29 amRC, do you think Hannity should back his words up by volunteering for waterboarding? That’s what this issue’s about.
May 8th, 2009 at 8:26 amI wonder if they’re be a “Pelisi” thread today? RC, If they move on this war crimes thing, I’m sure some “Dems” will get caught in the net they cast. Let’s just say this – No one is above the law.
May 8th, 2009 at 9:54 amWhy are there so MANY HYPOCRITES who CLAIM to be against TORTURE, yet never say a peep about partial birth abortion?
Photos of WATERBOARDING? Big Deal. It rarely ends in death.
PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTIONS ALWAYS END IN DEATH. Where are the demands for THOSE PHOTOS so people can see it for what it really is?
May 8th, 2009 at 7:09 pmOK why all you liberals are so stupid.
1 You only watch or read the liberal media. (ABC, CBS, MNBC, CNN and all the mainstream papers NY times ect..
2 95 percent of the TV and movies you watch are made by liberals
3 You believe every expert, even if they are speaking on a subject which is not related to their field of expertize.
We conservatives have to seek out the truth by the use of the internet or we get to listen to FOX news. Our other source, am talk radio. Which your king Obama wants to bring back the fairness act( If any of you morons know what that is) because he cant stand guys like Rush or Shawn speaking the truth about the liberal govt. Oh by the way I hope you idiots enjoy inflation and high Gas prices ($6.00 per gallon) because with this administration it is coming.
