This same bastard (look it up, his parents got married after he was conceived and daddy’s previous marriage was still in effect) denies that any kind of a partisan witchhunt was going on at the IRS.

Well, they were oppressed minorities, so anything they did to us was justified, and anything we did to them was an unwarranted continuation of the oppression that led them to attack us in the first place.

Pouring water on a terrorists face: No no.

Freeing 5 top Taliban commanders for a traitor while a hero Marine is tortured everyday in a Mexican prison: OK.

Arguably the greatest ‘success’ of his presidency was killing Osama bin Laden. This ‘success’ was the direct result of information gleaned in interrogations which used what he calls 'torture'.

Sec. of State Hillary Clinton: "WE came, WE saw, HE DIED! HA HA!" (while referring to the torture, abuse, and murder of a POW named Momar Gaddafi).

Because a huge issue with his base was the water-boarding. Also a major distraction, yet on a Friday it is interesting that he commented on it.

The nation of Islam and he proves it every day. I said since day one he was an Islamic enemy agent working undercover and every day I am proven right, every-single-freakin’ day. Now he standing by the side of Hamas, and I have no doubt arming them as well.

According to one summary of the Senate report I read, the Democrats slipped in some language like the common meaning of "torture."

According to the definition in the US Code and the international convention, we didn't torture anyone. That's what the Bush Justice Department memo the Dems scream about concluded, too. But that doesn't fit the Dem/MSM meme.

You would think that a President who allegedly was a law professor would know this.

Oh, and the hidden agenda here is there are still some Dems who want to prosecute the CIA agents who performed the waterboarding and other stress interrogation techniques. That hasn't happened so far because 1) they don't have a case because that isn't "torture" and 2) they would have an open rebellion on their hands at CIA.

But, now that President Pen and Phone has been crowned King, maybe he's ready to go that far.
