- Drakoi, on 04/23/2009, -14/+564lets do it! 183 times. cause he's saying one time isn't torture. okay, so let's not stop at one.
- AgeofMastery, on 04/23/2009, -11/+416As long as it's done the same way it was done to the detainees. Not some half assed job of it.
Of course, there's already one big difference, Hannity knows he won't be allowed to drown, the detainees didn't. - jfeichter, on 04/23/2009, -9/+314I would pay money to see this happen!
- Insightful, on 04/23/2009, -11/+199We should waterboard him until he says he confesses to be a member of Al Qaeda (it will only take one session, I hear it breaks people fast).
The next time anyone says torture works, we can then playback the videotape of Hannity's confession.
The tape will show wither 1) torture works and Hannity really is a ***** Al Qaeda thus we should torture him 182 more times to get him to reveal more "intelligence", or 2) torture does not work and will only make the abused says whatever you desire to stop the torturing. - JBizness, on 04/23/2009, -26/+208Hannity is a Tool. I hope he gets worked over pretty hard, but I think the first comment on Huffington Post has it right...
Hannity has tea bagging and water boarding confused, which is why he is open to doing it - zuiquan, on 04/23/2009, -4/+183Please post the site where I can donate to this cause.
- truthmatterz, on 04/23/2009, -2/+149That is the whole idea of it. Once it starts happening you truely believe you are drowning no matter what the plan was before hand. That is why the people who have had the guts to experience it, have said unequivically "waterboarding is torture"!
- b0rg, on 04/23/2009, -6/+128If Hannity can last 10 minutes being waterboarded by some serious grunts, I will personally donate $100 to the charity of his choosing, the Salvation Army, American Cancer Society, or Red Cross. I will post the reciept online for all to see.
- walterwoodsiv, on 04/23/2009, -8/+123It's pathetic that he thinks torture could be entertainment...the man is just insane.
- mediablitz, on 04/23/2009, -7/+108Can we waterboard him 6 times a day, for a month? Oh, and can we also not allow him to sleep more than an hour at a time for that same month?
Please? I bet he would actually be MORE coherent. - TCSavant, on 04/23/2009, -2/+94He should have it done Chris Hitchens style.
http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2008/0 ... - GoKings, on 04/23/2009, -1/+80Watch it happen to Christopher Hitchens and him talking about it after (actual waterboarding begins at 3:10):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LPubUCJv58
Also, notice that they don't drop very much in. If you've ever seen the leaked video of how they teach them to waterboard, it's significantly more water at once. - house6207, on 04/23/2009, -10/+77I love the way his voice cracks when he says "Ollie North has and I talked to him about it." He looked like he had just peed his pants.
I'm glad he was called out for his lack of military service, too...All of these talking heads (Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, etc.) talk a big talk when it comes to military operations but they've never been had to be the grunt. Hannity probably hasn't even played paintball before. - Ahab1111, on 04/23/2009, -4/+70Me too. It would be great if we could start a campaign where people could commit to donating a specific amount if Hannity would actually go through w/ this. If there was enough money for charity on the table, then it would be that much harder for him to walk away.
- tpmidd, on 04/23/2009, -3/+64a) He doesn't think its torture.
b) Waterboard the hell out of him.
c) Televise his admission that it is in fact torture.
d) Profit! - damnmonkey, on 04/23/2009, -2/+61Well, that's the idea.
- apothekari, on 04/23/2009, -9/+65I hope he does this and they actually drown his stupid, torture approving, ass.
It'll be like that talking head in the UK who said "-identity theft is completely overblown BS so I'll release my private info to prove it"!
Some hacker robbed him blind within minutes to prove him an ass! - booyahbitch, on 04/23/2009, -3/+59I would so love to see this *****! I was waterboarded when I was in the Military as part of a survival camp I attended...I knew the asshats doing it couldn't kill me...unless something went wrong, but that didn't make it any easier! I went out 3 times and they brought me back around and waited an hour and did it again. I would have sold my mother down the river if it would have stopped that *****!!!
- pisseddog, on 04/23/2009, -4/+56Torture Sean Hannity? DUGG
- gonegoogling, on 04/23/2009, -3/+51lets make it happen diggers, here is is email:
http://www.hannity.com/contactus.asp - Megalomatthew, on 04/23/2009, -2/+50I grantee he's reduced to a whimpering little bitch and the next day will turn around and say "it wasn't so bad."
- gerrylazlo, on 04/23/2009, -5/+52Enhanced interrogation. There's that Newspeak I love so much about fascist regimes. Hypocritical ass clown.
- vitriolix, on 04/23/2009, -1/+46Then why did the US Government delcare it was a warcrime in WW-II ?
"Twenty-one years earlier, in 1947, the United States charged a Japanese officer, Yukio Asano, with war crimes for carrying out another form of waterboarding on a U.S. civilian. The subject was strapped on a stretcher that was tilted so that his feet were in the air and head near the floor, and small amounts of water were poured over his face, leaving him gasping for air until he agreed to talk.
"Asano was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) told his colleagues last Thursday during the debate on military commissions legislation. "We punished people with 15 years of hard labor when waterboarding was used against Americans in World War II," he said."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic ... - brucealmighty, on 04/23/2009, -1/+4310 seconds would be a more realistic target....and that would be longer than most volunteers have lasted even knowing they were never in any real danger.
- frijolito, on 04/23/2009, -1/+41I read this article once (can't remember the source, sorry), where the journo had some CIA goons try it on him. He claims that even though he knew perfectly they wouldn't let him die either, he couldn't last even the 10 seconds he had set himself as a goal. "Was I even close"?, he asked. "Not even 4 seconds", they said. It was just absolutely terrifying, he reported.
So let this guy, whoever he is, put his money where his mouth is. - Insightful, on 04/23/2009, -5/+45Quick! Let's do it and get him to confess he is an Al Qaeda member bent of destroying America's freedom and intelligence so that we may seize his assets (his 2008 radio show contract ALONE is $100 million over 5 years).
If he says that his confession is coerced and thus is not reliable and he deserves a trial, we will torture him 182 more times until he says otherwise. Between the torturing, we will playback his own shows where he mocks and says that torture is reliable and should be used on our enemies who do not deserve a trial. - sandbun, on 04/23/2009, -0/+39Well, most people here seem to think it would be entertaining.
- mediablitz, on 04/23/2009, -5/+44Gee, if only Hannity wasn't such a chickenhawk, and had actually JOINED the military, he could have received some waterboard training.
Heck, if he hadn't dropped out of college, maybe he would have learned something about torture while in school.
I guess it is true. Those who can't, complain about those who did... - kareemachan, on 04/23/2009, -6/+44Okay, Hannity, tell us where to send the money and I for one will pay to see you waterboarded - only if it is done exactlyl like at Gitmo and if it's a real charitable organization.
- DankBuddz, on 04/23/2009, -2/+34Did you just call a website a douche?
- publiclurker, on 04/23/2009, -2/+33We should also get him to confess that he knew it was torture all along.
- slickjesus, on 04/23/2009, -4/+32I'd donate money for a twofer. Hannity and Limbaugh. I would love tickets for this event
- Wag3Slav3, on 04/23/2009, -1/+29It's a biological response. Once your past the horizontal and you get water up your nose it's max adrenaline and maximum struggle to get your head upright and not drown and die.
There is no mental defense to it. No matter what you do your body does this. - inactive, on 04/23/2009, -1/+27Hitchens is a badass.
- nannyree, on 04/23/2009, -3/+29I think that anyone who doesn't think waterboarding is torture should have to undergo it and find out for sure.Like when I went to nursing school and we had to practice on each other, giving injections etc to become more empathetic with our patients.
- m3arvk, on 04/23/2009, -0/+25Do it 6 times a day for 30 days by people who know what they are doing and will not stop when it becomes uncomfortable for him. Then let him come on Fox News and say with conviction that it's not torture.
- Totalchaos02, on 04/23/2009, -1/+26The scariest part of watching that was thinking about 5 seconds in that he was probably just then feeling water on his face and then they rip the mask off and his face was red and he was panting, it happened so quickly. It doesn't take much at all to break a person, just imagine not knowing what they are asking for and not liking your answers.
- masamunecyrus, on 04/23/2009, -2/+26That actually sounds like a pretty good idea. I'm sure Hannity would sign up voluntarily, too, to prove that it's "not" torture, and it'd get the point across to the entire world; all but the extremists will be forced to admit that waterboarding is torture, and torture isn't an acceptable way to gain information.
- Bowie, on 04/23/2009, -1/+25And tortured.
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 04/23/2009, -1/+25It doesn't yield actionable intelligence. After 5 minutes of waterboarding Hannity would admit to being a pot-smoking NPR-listening liberal.
- elliotys, on 04/23/2009, -11/+34Sean Hannity is literally one big vagina.
- omgwtflawl, on 04/23/2009, -0/+23That was Christopher Hitchens:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LPubUCJv58 - inactive, on 04/23/2009, -6/+29I would like to volunteer to waterboard him......for charity...of course...
- shoelessschippa, on 04/23/2009, -0/+22@Phaedryn, what is torture then? Where is the line drawn? If i shoot someone, but have a physician nearby will that not be considered murder? Im just wondering where the lines are on this subject?
- Gudeldar, on 04/23/2009, -0/+22This is an excellent idea.
My email:
I recently saw the episode of your show with Charles Grodin where you said you would be willing to be waterboarded for charity. I would like to express my willingness to donate to any deserving charity to see this come to fruition. I believe this will be of great benefit to you yourself and to whatever charity you may choose. - breadfred, on 04/23/2009, -1/+23Actually, I've had a better idea. Let's have him 'kidnapped' overnight, blind folded and some people in the background speaking some foreign language like Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Russian or a combination of those. No-one directly speaking to him in his own language. Just shouts in a foreign language. Treat him rough. Push him about.
Than waterboard him. Nice guy in American, tough guy in strong Taiwanese accent. Ask if he is a supporter of Our Holy Spaghettiness. When he confesses to be a Pastafarian, announce it on YouTube with great fanfare. Use this as evidence he does NOT believe in any other God of any denomination; as he gave this information freely and it was not giving under duress or while tortured.
Make him a Pastor of Pastorology.
Profit.
(sorry, I forgot to put the numbers 1,2,3,4 in front of the steps. I did not know where this was going either. ) - Powerfan5000, on 04/23/2009, -5/+26lolwut
- gonegoogling, on 04/23/2009, -2/+23Here is the eamil I sent:
Sean, I am very interested in seeing you demonstrate the enhanced interrogation method waterboarding for a charitable organization on your show. I will be DVRing your show and checking the site for info on how I can make a donation for this cause. Thank You. - biotch, on 04/24/2009, -1/+22Something tells me that no matter how terrible it is, after all the squirming and pleading and begging to stop, he will stand up and declare it was not torture.
- cntlscrut, on 04/23/2009, -6/+26Well, if he doesn't do it (which is most likely the case seeing as he is an intolerable pussy) we'll more than likely be given the chance vicariously through South Park.
