Do Radical Liberals really know what Torture Is?

Why do you liberals feel sorry for the creeps in dirty bed sheets because they got a little water up their nose?

And then on the other hand condone the murder of a partially baby with what must be an extremely gruesome and painful manner?

Update:

Hey you fools? I said partially born. It's not a blob of cells.IT'S A LIVING HUMAN BEING HALF BORN. I don't read the bible,I don't go to church, but my case has been made when it comes to what a Liberal really is.

    Contrary to what some previous responders have said, waterboarding and other permitted forms of enhanced interrogation WERE effective in getting information that kept us safe. Unfortunately, Obama declassified only the memo describing our methods (none of which were torture), but kept classified the memo that described in detail the valuable information we gained through these methods.

    I'm not a radical liberal, but whatever. I'll answer.

    Do you know what waterboarding is? Apparently not. Its effects can lead to death, and if not, severe psychological damage. I'm not claiming to be righteous or anything, but at least be a bit human.

    Abortion is something entirely different. You said 'partially baby' - which means, not a human child. When a woman is pregnant, she is carrying a parasite - something that cannot exist without her - and is 'becoming' a human, since it would only be a bunch of cells.

    By the way, are you condoning what Cheney did?

    Sure I know what torture is...

    Tell you what...you put out a GUARANTEE that EVERY person who is tortured has some viable info to give up and I will back up every torture conceivable.

    Unfortunately you CANNOT guarantee that no one will be tortured who actually does not have any viable info...innocent people have and will be tortured.

    You really think waterboarding 1 person 100 times was effective? If you don't get nothing the first 10 times why are you so sure another 90 sessions of torture will produce VIABLE info?

    Maybe we need a data base filled with names of known right wing members of the KKK and people who associate with members of the KKK....I know those racists pigs are planning on bombing something sometime in the future...so let's round them all up, even their mothers and fathers, lets waterboard the parents of known KKK members and their associates...hey, you never know, for every 10 of them that don't know anything about any bombings there will be 1 that does know something...we can save American lives here!!!!

    You wouldn't mind if the CIA waterboards your mother would you?

    well i could tie you over some cut bamboo for a few days and see what you think, mahahahaha

    also i'm not going to go into the grey area of abortion apart from the fact that most are during early pregnancy when the baby isn't even a fully developed fetus

    I don't condone murder of "partially babies". I just think a 4 year old who has asthma and can't get medication is a person, and a ball of cells is not.

    America does not torture. It's why they are terrorists and we are not.

    Well Clint,

    For me it's not so much what is done to them as much as they are suspects--not convicts.

    How would Dirty Harry feel if cops roughed him up to get info he didn't have? Pretty darn bad.

    As for abortion, most of them occur in the first trimester.

    Lemme guess: you also oppose IUD's and morning-after-pills.

    They ignore Obama authorizing shooting rockets at civilians in Pakistan & killing innocent women & children alongside "suspected terrorists". We are trespassing on a sovereign nation & killing its citizens in an undeclared war.

    But water boarding, they need to draw Bush blood for that!

    Hypocrites!

    If someone deliberately does something to hurt me, it's torture.

    rofl.. a "partially baby" eh? more right-wing extremist murder of the English language... anyway, as all thinking people understand, waterboarding is torture and not a "lil water up your nose" and equally we all understand that clumps of cells aren't "people" and flushing them out isn't "murder" hope that clears it up for ya! :)
