GRODIN: You're for torture.
HANNITY: I am for enhanced interrogation.
GRODIN: You don't believe it's torture. Have you ever been waterboarded?
HANNITY: No, but Ollie North has.
GRODIN: Would you consent to be waterboarded? We can waterboard you?
HANNITY: Sure.
GRODIN: Are you busy on Sunday?
HANNITY: I'll do it for charity. I'll let you do it. I'll do it for the troops' families.

Will he go through with it? I don't think so. He's too much of a coward, but if he does, I think it will prove to right wingers that waterboarding is torture. We'll see.

I hope he does. Waterboarding is a big nothing.
I'll be happy to torture Grodin for real after, maybe then he'll stop bitching about getting his hair wet.
Or how about getting someone he loves and cutting their head off, just to show what the difference is between the US and the enemy.-
Yeah, it seems like nothing, doesn't it. Why can't they just hold their breath? But I've seen people get water-boarded and they immediately freaked out as soon as it started so there must be more to it. And there have been some injuries resulting from it when it was used for training.
-
Hmmm. If it's a "big nothing" then why is it even being used?
Kind of a contradictory argument, isn't it? -
Lets water-board csi and see if it really is torture.
-
Do you think he'd wind up sounding like the Swedish chef from the Muppets? You know, with all the gurgling and the accent and all...
Heeeere Erik....just lay down on this nice inclined board for a minute... -
He'd squeal like a little girl.
-
You haven't seen anyone get waterboarded Sati.. Stop lying.
-
Stop squealing like a little girl, csi.
But seriously, the radio team Lewis and Floorwax did it on a local cable TV program on their sportscaster and he didn't last a second. I'm sure there are youtube videos of it being done. -
It's probably all the rage on the S&M scene...

I say if Hannity does it, they replace the water with urine instead.
If they don't have any urine available, I'd be glad to supply. -
And you base your hatred of Hannity on what? yes opinion-
Actually I hate him because he is a bully who intentionally misinforms people to the point where they will be against their own self interest (as well as the weak and powerless) so he can can continue to extend the dominance of an ass-backwards ideology so his corporate bosses can benefit and he can collect a nice piece of change as well. He is no different than a propaganda minister working under a fascist authority only the methods are much more subtle and quite surreptitious.

A scathing review, but not far off.

They say that waterboarding causes mental anguish... maybe they should use it to narc out students with Ibuprophen in Arizona O_o

I suppose it reveals my true self. I suppose any doubt that there's something wrong with me (as is with most people) is gone. But I will pay a lot of money to see Hannity waterboarded. I guess it means I'm no better than the other side of the debate, even if the people I support in the debate are right and the other side is wrong.
Waterboard Hannity (for charity).-
What separates you from the rest though, is that you are thrilled by his voluntary waterboarding for charity
-

It IS for a good cause
-
This is actually great for the country since so many people follow Hannity (blindly). If he actually goes through with it (which I doubt), there's no way he's going to be able to continue to claim that waterboarding is not torture.
-
Olberman states he will give 1000.00 to charity for every second Hannity can last. -
I took a look at Hannity's website and there was no mention of it. He's not going to go through with it, the coward. I also took a look in his forum and surprisingly, a lot of right-wingers want an investigation into our military's interrogation techniques.
-
you can't blame him... It would screw up his eye-liner

Well he also thought it was ridiculous to make a big deal about putting a man in a box and telling him falsely of course that it was a stinging insect when it was known that he was afraid of stinging insects. We could put Hannity in a box with one of those huge Texas house spiders. I found one in my sink and the thing actually tapped my hand. It was HUGE!-
Put him in a box with Sean Penn. He'd have a heart attack!

A one off waterboarding is ok for demonstration purposes but it is not how waterboarding is used in the wild.
One guy was waterboarded 183 times in a month. Month was March so assuming 30 days and a systematic approach that means they water boarded him once every 4 hours for 30 days. www.nytimes.com/2009/04/20/world/20detain.html?_r=3&hp
Waterboarding would not have been the only technique deployed. It would have been used in conjunction with the other allowed methods.
Hanity should be subjected to a prolonged and systematic interrogation using waterboarding, slapping, cold water immersion, stress positions, high volume music, body slamming, humiliation, sleep deprivation and small cage confinement. Say for at least 30 days.
Then we will see what he says. Probably anything we want him to say, true or otherwise.-
slapping, cold water immersion, stress positions, high volume music, body slamming, humiliation, sleep deprivation and small cage confinement.
Sounds like my last job. Doh! -
you worked in customer service?
-
Software engineer for a large military industrial complex company.
-
oh!

My husband just brought up the same thing.
He suggested hat Hannity consents to a proper waterboarding experience, meaning he can be nabbed, black bagged, and interrogated as if he were a terrorist suspect, at random.
Make him and put him in an utter panic, and then ask him questions like if he was a 9/11 terrorist, or did he kill Lincoln - let's see what kind of confessions it really gets. -
He's not going to go through with it, the coward.
-
Maybe not willingly, but Anok's husband has the right idea. See how the spastic bastard does after a few hours of "walling"
I hired an asian lawyer who says that frightening the public to accomplish political objectives constitutes--and indeed is the definition of--terrorism. o_O
