Cokie Roberts calls 'torture' a fantastic campaign issue.

[spanone]

On ABC bullshit show. She said that the Rethugs screwed up a great campaign issue. God Almighty. We are talking about FUCKING TORTURING PEOPLE. This is a sick nation.

[Dinger]

1. Thanks For The Info - Cuz I Don't Watch ABC Any More (nt)

[spanone]

3. Someone has to keep tabs on the dark side.

[Dinger]

9. True (nt)

[bluerum]

2. She has been a shill for the dark side for years. nt

[JDPriestly]

8. You are absolutely right. A shill --- a droning shill.

Why NPR listeners did not see through her years and years ago is beyond me.

[pooja]

4. Why is there a debate? Why are we discussing this?

Humanity has decided it is wrong to torture another human being. Hell, animal cruelty is a crime. Why would this even be a debate? Everyone needs to put a sign on their lawn that says TOTURE IS WRONG. TORTURE IS CRUEL. Add a few pics of what torture looks like to push your message across.

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. Maybe Cokie can get into reality journalism and volunteer to illustrate

for us how a victim feels when they get water-boarded?

[LiberalFighter]

15. I would volunteer my services... Seriously

For real!! Let's do it on live TV so everyone can see how it is done. Let's do it without the use of modern torture devices... even better what is at hand out on a farm and mother nature.

It would be humane because I say it is! I would tell her it is humane because it is two humans interacting with each other.

[The Backlash Cometh]

17. A liberal on t.v. volunteering to be waterboarded? Not a good idea.

The Republicans would love it. The ratings would go through the roof.

[LiberalFighter]

33. You didnt piece it together right - I volunteer my services to...

torture Cokie

[The Backlash Cometh]

35. LOL! Now the lottery for that role would be HUGH1111!!!

[Hugin]

20. Rush could volunteer to help college kids "blow-off-steam"...

by being part of a naked human pyramid with other bloviators.

[bluerum]

21. My guess is that Cokie has some whips and leather in her "closet". nt

[stlsaxman]

27. Visualizing Cokie and Stephen Roberts in a D/s "scene"....

is beginning to make perfect sense!

[blm]

6. What a disgusting mindset for ANY human being. She is a lost soul by now -

she is a zombie - a casualty of the GOP takeover and control of the broadcast media. They imposed a fascist worldview on so many talking heads and Cokie turned into one of their most loyal zombies.

[Dinger]

12. You're Think Her Brush With Cancer Would Have Made Her Appreciate Life,

wouldn't you?

[saltpoint]

13. I checked out of ABC a while back, but I think your characterization of

Cokie Roberts as a "zombie" is just about perfect.

[WinkyDink]

34. Money changes everything.

[dogday]

7. Sorry, don't watch freaking ABC any more

but I don't put anything past them....

[Jackpine Radical]

10. She was ALWAYS One of Them.

[ClassWarrior]

11. "Cookie" Roberts is mentally unstable.

NGU.

[Smarmie Doofus]

14. Is she for it or against it? nt

[spanone]

16. Hey, it's a great campaign issue, who cares?

:sarcasm:

She didn't say which side she comes down on, but I'd venture a guess that she backs bush*.

[Smarmie Doofus]

30. She's all heart, that one. n/t

[Warren Stupidity]

18. That woman is one sick, sick, asshat.

Her transition from moderate to rethuglican shill has been remarkable.

[TankLV]

19. What's amazing is that TORTURE is being discussed AT ALL!

The "ideas" that these insane REPUKES are proposing used to be considered so vile and disguating, only the criminally insane would dare to discuss these views with themselves in secret. NORMAL persons were afraid to even THINK such things aloud, let alone CAMPAIGN for them!

That is how LOW we as a nation and world have come - it's been a successful race to the BOTTOM - we are now in Idi Amin's and Pol Pot's world...

[Cleita]

22. Does she think war is fabulous as well? God I'm sick of

these fashion diva "journalists". Did you see Christianne Amanpour on Bill Maher this weekend. This is a real journalist and the contrast to Roberts, et al is striking.

[mitchum]

23. A disgusting result of her inside the Beltway mentality

[bluedog]

24. what are the other countries saying

about the US trying to "clarify" the Geneva Convention laws?

its a wonder there is NO worldwide outrage over this!!!!!

[spanone]

25. There could be, but who would report it? ABC? bwahahahahahaha

That's a good question. I haven't seen ANYONE reporting on the worldwide backlash or support of the new bush* torture doctrine. We have a media much like our president, they are not curious.

[Hugin]

26. I've received numerous letters from friends overseas...

They're FURIOUS!

We don't hear about it here because our Corporate Media... SUCKS!

[lumberjack_jeff]

28. It's an even better issue for the world court. n/t

[soothsayer]

29. I see that wizened little twerp at the Shakespeare Theatre fron

time to time. I guess she roots for Iago, Lady Macbeth, etc.

[Deja Q]

31. 'great campaign issue'?!

I'm trying to fathom the American public being in support of torture. For some reason, it's not working unless I put a laugh track behind it and pretend it's one big-ass tv show.

Sad.

[spanone]

36. I'm afraid that will be the outcome of this. Congress will allow torture

even if they cloak it in some other 'politically' savvy name.

According to the talk shows, they are working on a compromise?
You either torture or you don't folks. Compromise means bush* has won this like all his other phony battles with Congress.

[Coventina]

32. She probably thinks of "torture" as a little spanky with her tickle

She's just a dumb slut for the VRWC.

In her mind, suffering a bit of pain for the glory of Bushco would be a gloriously sensual experience.

[zreosumgame]

37. follow the money...
