It was pretty darn fun to watch feisty 5 foot 10 rooster Ellis Henican getting into the rhetorical grill of a snarling, 6 foot 4 Bill O'Reilly about torture. (Henican is against it). At one point, Henican, a Newsday columnist and local New York talk show host, provoked The Big Fat Head into rising up out of his chair. Spittle flowed from his snarling piehole taxing the capacities of his spittle catchers.
If it were a boxing match, it would have been stopped. Bill O'Reilly kept trying to clinch, interrupting nearly every sentence Fox News contributor Ellis Henican threw that wasn't going the way Bill wanted - which was pretty much every one of them. Bill O'Reilly was bloodied to the point he had to be bleeped - "torture, my ass." The only thing that saved Bill was the commercial bell.
"Stop, just answer my questions," Bill said as he stopped Henican from answering one of his questions.
Sweet.

Puts, looks like Joanie is just getting warmed up for the third coming of "The Word".

Mack, you need to do a little more digging. You recognize the M4 as the standard issue rifle used in the Army. Great, you are on the right track. Keep digging if you want the truth.

I also notice with interest that when Puget Sound chimes in with facts, the regulars tend to withdraw. It's almost as if they don't want to be confronted with facts that are sourced. They can only feed off each other's bullshit for so long. It's very amusing to watch.

Well, speaking of sources, nevets chooses to not provide any. He either has a story with a link, or he doesn't.

O'Reilly sounds like an idiot when he tries to rationalize our use of waterboarding. "Cutting off fingers is torture, not waterboarding," he's said in the past. No, Bill. Cutting off fingers is dismemberment or mutilation. O'Reiy is smart enough to know that waterboarding is in fact torture, and i believe he does know that, but he now believes it's ok because his neighborhood on Long Island lost dozens of people in the World Trade Center. 'Now you listen to me,' he repeats in a sneering , ugly, bullying tone as he jabs his finger forward in the air. Ape in a suit.

No I.Observer, what is amusing is how you have your nose up Puget Sound's bunghole, regardless of what name you use.

Hey Reno, how's Highlander doing? It must be awfully crowded in that chair all of you taking turns posting like that. Too funny.
Anyone -besides Ph(J)oanie- not figure it out?

Re my previous post above- O'Reilly basically admitted that we were torturing Guantanamo prisoners during Bushler's regime, and that he was fine with that, a week or two ago when he slammed Spain for their war crimes charges stunt. here's his exact quote-" There's no evidence we tortured anyone from Spain, and none of the prisoners at Guantanomo were innocent men." This is a real slip up on his part, blowing apart his bogus disengenuous lies about waterboarding. He's saying the Guantanamo guys deserved to be tortured because they were all guilty. that is not true. Evidence has surfaced that a 15 year old boy was captured and kept there for years who was finally proven to be totally innocent, just wrong place wrong time. Again he's just managed to rationalize the torture because his emotions are involved over the many friends and neighbors he lost on 911. OReilly claims his show is all about critical thinking not emotionally based thinking. Not.

Coiler already provided a link Mack. I gave a hint of one of the inconsistencys. Now its up to you. Get your hands dirty. Use that keyboard that god created to help you think.
Posted by: nevets | April 26, 2009 at 08:42 AM
Nice diversion nevets, but coiler's link doesn't explain whatever it is that you say you've found (or have you actually found anything??) You're trying to draw a link between this soldiers death and her weapon, and you are not telling us what it is. In an investigation, that only means one of two things: you are only speculating because you have no facts, or you have some information that you refuse to share because of its unreliability. I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt at first, but not any more. Can you pony up with what you know?

"KS is the Army Field Guide bullcrap? Apparently you don't understand that the Geneva Convention rulings were put in place to help all soldiers, even Americans? You think that is Bullcrap? Hey, support those troops, KS!"
No, Sparky - the Army Field Guide is not bullcrap. However, the way you interpret is wrong. You don't want to understand what I wrote or what the Geneva Convention is. Does Al-Qaeda represent any country ? NO, therefore the Geneva Convention cannot be applied. Not a trick question, but you clearly missed it.
Posted by: KS | April 26, 2009 at 06:40 PM
Black and White ? This comes from a total leftist like Sparky. Pot meet Kettle. That goes for any of Ph(J)oanie's claptrap that may ensue.
Sparks quotes Newt Gingrich, but does not reference the Geneva Convention once from what he said. I agree in a number of instances with what Gingrich, however, I would never support him for President because of his ethics. I have found that it is difficult being gray...

What a wonderful thread! Not only do the crazy right-wingers come out in all their insipid glory, they even get gary to feed their insanity!
And chucks resorts to his same-o same-o where I'm concerned. Think you can find another insult to attack me? That one is getting sort of old - just like your politics.
I'll take being old and lonely any day over being a stupid, fucked-up, savage like you.
Does it sound like I'm having fun? Actually, yes. I'm loving it. You have no idea how much fun it is to call you out for what you are. I don't have to play the game or dance with any of you. You are what you are and I love putting up the mirror whenever I feel the passion.
Savages. Each and every one of you.
God, that felt good. Chucks has to take h is "gumment-paid" bride upstairs to feel as good as I do right now.
