Now comes presidential candidate and "enhanced interrogation" supporter Rick Santorum arguing on Hugh Hewitt's radio show that McCain simply "doesn’t understand how enhanced interrogation works." Yes, he's talking about the same John McCain who, in his five and a half years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, was interrogated during a program of beatings and torture.

Here's Santorum:

HH: Now your former colleague, John McCain, said look, there’s no record, there’s no evidence here that these methods actually led to the capture or the killing of bin Laden. Do you disagree with that? Or do you think he’s got an argument?

RS: I don’t, everything I’ve read shows that we would not have gotten this information as to who this man was if it had not been gotten information from people who were subject to enhanced interrogation. And so this idea that we didn’t ask that question while Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was being waterboarded, he doesn’t understand how enhanced interrogation works. I mean, you break somebody, and after they’re broken, they become cooperative. And that’s when we got this information. And one thing led to another, and led to another, and that’s how we ended up with bin Laden.

1. Santorum is a cowardly piece of shit...

While I could not support McCain for president, I cannot in any way diminish his ordeal during his time as a POW, and anybody who does, especially a coward like Santorum, is excrement.

[BeliQueen]

21. I think you meant to say...

Santorun is a cowardly frothy mixture of fecal matter, lubricant, and semen.

Just saying.

[NeedleCast]

2. Its hard to turn McCain into the "Good Guy" but Santorum pulled it off

[blondeatlast]

3. No kidding. Perhaps congratulations are in order, except that I just

can't get there.

:wow:

[RandySF]

4. McCain is not a nice guy, BUT....

I will always respect him for surviving seven years in the hole, especially when there was an opportunity to get out.

[LiberalLoner]

11. Me too. And I think Santorum is out of line for saying he didn't understand

"enhanced interrogation." Senator McCain knows more about torture than any man should ever have to know.

[KamaAina]

5. There he goes, frothing at the mouth (?) again

:evilgrin:

[seabeyond]

6. you guys gotta tell me the man on dog thing. dont want to google. was it

if gays marry then we will have men marrying dogs?

[NeedleCast]

7. Yup, That Silly Old Meme

that allowing gay marriage will mean that you'll have people marrying their pets, their children, umbrellas and ect. etc.

[LiberalLoner]

14. Marrying my umbrella? I never thought of that. I just use my umbrella without

marrying it or even saying an occasional "I love you" to it.

Does that mean I'm a bad person?

[seabeyond]

15. i heard again on maddow last night and she said google. told hubby

dont wanna. but couldnt remember. should have known. thanks

[Amerigo Vespucci]

8. Well, sex FOLLOWED by marriage, but yes. That's the short version.

If a man can marry a man and have sex with a man, then why can't a man have sex with a dog and marry a dog? Let's just throw ALL the rules out the window.

That, in a nutshell, is Ricky's "platform."

:rofl:

[seabeyond]

16. as i said above, saw on maddow last night.

couldnt remember last night, but today was vaguely recalling. thanks for the reminder.

9. My favorite comment on Salon about this article

"I think santorum (the frothy mixture)wants to change its name out of shame of being associated with this ahole"

I think that pretty much says it all.

10. Santorum is a very religious man

Very devout. That's why he is such a big supporter of torture. :crazy:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

12. All I ask is that you remember...

...that there are many people of faith...myself included...who piss on "very religious men" like Santorum.

"Religious" has an endless number of possibilities. In my situation, for example, I choose to be a Christian...but that doesn't mean I see Atheists or Agnostics as "wrong." I see them as people who have chosen beliefs that are right for them, just as I have chosen beliefs that are right for me.

I don't support blanket statements....but I do support free speech and the rights of others to make blanket statements, if they feel they must.

:patriot:

[Enrique]

18. i hear you

i added a smiley to clarify what I think of Santorum's (and too many others) kind of religiousness.

:patriot:

[Wait Wut]

19. It's the word.

"Religion" is a horrible word. You can have faith without being religious. The sad part is how many refer to themselves as religious that have no faith. It's all just learning to dance just in case they're asked to the prom.

That's my blanket statement, damnit. ;-)

[Amerigo Vespucci]

20. So true

It's like "I AM A SNOWFLAKE."

Great.

What the hell does THAT mean?

The fact that I consider myself to be a man of faith, who lives it and practices it, really means NOTHING when discussing the person next to me. They have their own agenda, and I have neither the time nor the interest to "align myself" with it.

[EC]

13. Oh yeah, I'm sure Snotorum had access to all those

secret memos and records that trace the investigation. He read the "news" at Newsmax and fox and thinks they're writing the truth. So that is "everything I’ve read shows that we would not have gotten this information as to who this man was if it had not been gotten information from people who were subject to enhanced interrogation. " for him

[lunatica]

17. I'm waiting on pins and needles for McCain's response

pass the popcorn please

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

22. Whatever you do please don't Google Santorum. nt

[KamaAina]

23. And if you do, please don't click on every single one of the links.

:evilgrin:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

24. .

:spray:

[Heywood J]

25. So cavalier when talking explicitly about breaking people with torture

until they "become cooperative". How very Inquisitional of him. I wouldn't blame McCain at all if he punched Santorum in the face. Hell, I'd cheer and chip in for bail.

At what point can we start equating Santorum with the Chinese communists that tortured American POWs?

[underpants]

26. (breaths deeply) F*ck you you f*cking (p)Rick HOW DARE YOU

He WAS TORTURED you patsy nothing piece of nothing trash piece of the machinery you miserable piece of frothy trash
