Scarborough: That Pesky Liberal Media!

crooksandliars.com — Another Scarborough quote we couldn’t possibly make up: “When did the liberal media decide…that waterboarding was torture?”

interg12, on 12/12/2007, -0/+7poor Joe doesn't want to see icky pictures of people burning alive for no good reason. someone get him a tissue.
Terr01, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2About 80% of the way through there's a good line:
But if it's so measured then why are we afraid to release the tapes? Why did somebody feel it was necessary to destroy these tapes? Obviously they felt that there was something problematic with it. If it's in such a controlled environment, if it's so successful, if it's something we can all be proud of, let's show the tapes. Let's show the American people, here's what we're doing."

And then Scarborough brings up a BS fallacy about Dresden which would only be remotely logical if the waterboarding was equally moral as the Dresden bombing, which I doubt he thinks, etc.

Terr01, on 12/12/2007, -0/+2It's also a pretty stupid fallacy. It's like saying: "I don't want to watch Joe Scarborough. Therefore it makes sense to ban him from television."

Whether Joe wants to watch those hypothetical tapes or not is *entirely irrelevant* as to whether the tapes *ought to be destroyed*.
