Hannity Defends Palin’s Waterboarding Remarks: ‘That’s the Way America Rolls’
Mediaite ^ | April 29, 2014 | Matt Wilstein

Sean Hannity has come to Sarah Palin’s defense after the former Alaska governor told an NRA rally over the weekend that if she were president, America’s enemies “would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists.” Hannity agreed with Palin on his radio show, saying, “That’s the way America rolls.”

“Well what do you want to do with terrorists?” Hannity asked any critics out there who disagreed with Palin’s sentiments. He laid out a hypothetical scenario where someone kidnapped his three children and he had the chance to interrogate them into telling him where they were. “Would you want to baptize by waterboarding the guy who took your three children?” he asked. “I think would. As a matter of fact, it wouldn’t really be much of a question. I think I’d baptize them again and again and again until I found out where my kids are.”

The host predicted that all those liberals out there listening to him would also “do whatever it took” to get their children back. So, he wondered, why should it be any different with terrorists?

“That’s the way we roll,” Hannity said. “That’s the way America rolls.”

The day after Palin made her comments, she told a reporter for NBC News that she would “absolutely” say the same thing again. “Terrorists who want to annihilate Americans, innocent Americans, our children — whatever it takes to stop them,” she said. “If I were in charge, I’d be stoppin’ em.”

Sarah’s comment was exactly as it should be as we should waterboard terrorist suspects and baptize them to Christianity.

Not a fan of flippant, sacrilegious references to baptism. I was repulsed by that comment.

I doubt your sincerity in that comment.

Your posting history precedes you and proves you are not a great one for principles, pragmatism, strategy, GOP-E strategy to be succinct, but principles, NO.

Read it again and redistribute it. I am tired of these liberal asshats continuous campaign for assassinating Sarah Palin.

Yeh Sean is good to go with waterboarding for Christ but Cliven Bundy saying Negro is just too much for him. :-)

Whatever happened to Hannity saying a couple years ago he would allow himself to be waterboarded? Cold feet? I avoid cable news but I assume I would have heard if he went through with it.

I avoid Hannity’s (prerecorded) show , where did they stick it after taking away his 9pm spot and giving it to Megyn ?? After Redeye?

But I would tune in to see him waterboarded for sure.

And they should play Brittney Spears music while they do it too.

I wouldn’t have said it, but on the scale of upsetting things said by public figures, it ranks fairly low. She’s a Christian,so I trust that if her clergy person found it sacreligious, he or she will take it up with her.
