Now we’re getting some place. “Sadistic torture fantasies” are really what we are dealing with. This is what conservatives consider a family value. This is how they want to “save” the country. America has to turn against these people. How do we keep producing them? What is it about our culture that constantly reinforces them? How do we save ourselves?
WelllAM – this is sarcasm, right?
xhagast…
Hahahaha! *snort* Hahahah!
It’s so sad that you actually believe this.
Hahahaha! *snort*
She hates Conservatives more than she fears terrorists.
Yeah, Rush is a dumbass.
Sarah’s not even popular.
Republicans can’t read.
Islam is a peaceful & loving religion.
Sodomy is fun, safe, normal & will be totally accepted once all the evil Christians are dead.
G. Bush is a conservative.
Airconditioning & hairspray makes Planet Earth warmer.
MSNBC is more popular than Fox.
And torture doesn’t work.
Keep believing it, you bunch of punchbowl turds.
Did I forget,? Socialism is good for theeconomy.
Ah, a UTOOB grammar & spelling prof. Business must be good. How much do they pay you?
Tell me, have you ever used torture to get someone to tell you something you needed to know?
@MrHelldogger
HAHA… um… First, it’s “truly”, not “trully”. Second, what the fuck does the Gambino Family have to do with anything? Third, I wouldn’t tell them a goddamn thing if I truly (see how I did that!) thought they were my enemy; though I would happily lie to my torturers. Fourth and finally, you last sentence is missing a word, thus making it not really sentence but rather a fragmented iteration of a confused mind. Peace
You are trully a fucking idiot, but you’re in the right place.
Information questions you may be asked during a Gambino Family interrogation:
Whare’s my fuckin’ ,money, you cocksucka?
Who da fuck did you tell dis shit to, you muddafucka?
I don’t don’t have time for anymore, you fucking idiot.
How does one take “the underwear bomber” seriously as a terror threat.? OTOH, it does ridicule and minimize the whole “terror” in terrorist. Frankly, I think it’s a brilliant psychological tool to minimize the impact of a “terrorist.”
@MrHelldogger
What the fuck are you talking about… they didn’t use it for information, they used it for punishment. You’re deranged
Oh really? Did those studies include the Gambinos? Why don’t you go to Brooklyn and ask them, then see if they will give you a demonstration on the proper method for maximum results. Smart ass!
the Republicans wanted Richard Reid given actual justice, but they want all of these “Muslim, Islamic Terrorists” tortured… do you see a pattern? If they are dirty towel heads just rid the world of them, if they are disturbed white people give them a trial and put them away for life
@MrHelldogger
that’s weird, because it goes against everything anyone has ever said who studies torture… crazy
Anyone who doesn’t believe torture doesn’t work obviously hasn’t tried it. It Works!
I notice how Spencers’ arms never move. I guess that’s cause they take the straight jacket off for the shoot, but they have to keep his arms secure for security reasons.
But my question is, Why didn’t the passengers beat this prick to death & throw his ass out the door? That would be a much better debate & a much shorter trial.
False Flag.
Now let’s get our bombing on!
Citizens prepared to be searched, you fools!
I distrust anyone who uses the word “terrorist”. That word has now become a propaganda tool. I noticed that ever since the “underwear bomber” patsy story was shoved down everyone’s throats, “terrorist” has become a renewed soundbite. I reject that label of human beings, especially in false flag cases such as this.
Somebody should force Pat to take his meds.
Al-CIA-da
If his wienie did not get fully roasted, someone should finish the job.
We surely don’t need to be babysitting these would be mass murderers, send him to Gitmo!
Rachel Rock’s!
wait how did al quada contact him? how did he contact them? what his dad’s role in all this? is his mom or a big brother involved? is he part of a school club like the trench coat mafia? there are too many unansewerd questions. maybe we just change his medication to somethig weaker and slowly get information out of him in a humane way.
hey! if the intent in the torture is to get false information like sadam hussein linked to al quaeda, then that’s exactly what you’ll get. so let’s not go around saying it’s ineffective when it worked for the cheney-bush crime syndicate.
@avi919191 I am up on what Clinton did, (his JOB!!!!) but I don’t know what Carter did wrong. I was a child and in Spain.
Still, being wimpy and getting blowjobs doesn’t stand up to starting wars for NOTHING, robbing the country blind, using the Constitution as toilet paper and torturing people.
@JayPhilosopher It is kinda WORSE than that. Following the C-Street heresy(which fits perfectly with Calvin’s predestination, which the Pilgrims followed)the rich are the blessed by God(they ARE rich, the powerful too)and they can do what they want. Everybody else is already damned and thus unimportant.
This is why they sound so weird when they try to “care”. Because they don’t care about anybody.
Still one more reason we needed a big, bold, transformational Presidency in the Post-Bush era….so we wouldn’t need to keep arguing whether or not the rule of law is worth adhering to.
Instead we get the Audacity of Joe Lieberman.
