Ron Christie on Hardball

[smtpgirl]

a Republican tool, blatantly said that water-boarding (pouring cold water on people)
& keeping the lights on 24/7, saying that is NOT torture!!


I want to do that to that MOFO


I would love to keep the lights on 24/7 for 10 days and pour ICE cold water on that bastard and make him sing broadway show tunes!!


He will then think twice about what torture is!!!

1. That cross-eyed twit is in serious need of a bit of what he's selling.

It may be that the only way to convince some of these a-holes that what they are trying to pass off as just a little roughing-up really is torture, is to let them experience just a few minutes of it themselves.

I think I read somewhere that variations on waterboarding were used by the Spanish Inquisition and Nazi Germany. Nice company you're keeping, Ron.

2. He is mistaken about waterboarding...

...or just being typically dishonest. The victim is strapped to a board and immobilized; his face is covered in plastic wrap causing him to believe that he will smother to death; then he is immersed, face-down in water for as long as possible. He is brought up and allowed to breathe, again, sometimes, after he has passed out. The effect must be beyond horrific.

4. HMM, that sounds like

TORTURE, at least in my mind

9. I think he was trying to be dishonest...

"pouring a little cold water over somebody" were his exact words. Either he's astonishingly stupid and uninformed, or he thinks Chris Matthews' audience.

5. he also said "we don't torture IN THIS COUNTRY."

he didn't say we don't torture outside this country.

6. Being homeless without health insurance

with cancer in this country is TORTURE.

8. No, he actually smacked him down pretty good...n/t

10. Water-boarding is not simply pouring water on people.

Water-boarding is strapping someone to a board and holding them under water almost to the point of drowning over and over again. Simply pouring cold water on someone would be a mere nuisance compared to that.

11. My point exactly

That is how Ron Christie portrayed to water-boardng torture, ho hum, just simple pouring cold water on someone!!!!!
