Maxine Waters Torture - (Super one from Dustin Hawkins!)
CHRONWATCH.COM ^ | JANUARY 9, 2005 | DUSTIN HAWKINS

What Real Torture Is

While questioning Attorney General nominee Alberto Gonzales, Republican-of-the-Year Arlen Specter (PA) asked the hard-hitting question: “Do you approve of torture?” It almost reminded me of the time Specter asked Bill Clinton during his impeachment if he believed in sexually harassing women at the workplace.

Oh wait, that didn’t happen.

Specter and his friends (Democrats) were quite upset at Gonzales’s involvement in presidential initiatives allowing aggressive “tools of persuasion” against Al-Qaida terrorists. They feared another reign of terror, as seen under John Ashcroft, whereby murdering lunatics weren’t given five-star hotel accommodations, massages, and discounted tennis lessons. And then there is the U.S. Constitution, which under liberal interpretation gives foreign-born terrorists living and captured on foreign lands more rights than Americans. For once, liberals actually demanded the right to religious expression.

Nothing is more frightening to a liberal than an attempt to extract information from people whose main purpose in life is to kill Americans. Not only have we found a group of people who actually hate America more than liberals do, but also we want to know what they know, what they plan on doing, and when they plan on doing it. (Unlike with liberals, from whom we never want to know what they know, what they think, or what they plan on doing).

Liberals are magical with their “tools of persuasion” too. First they size up their victim, explain how much “respect” they have for the individual, and then try to bury them under the sand. They did it to Condoleezza Rice during the 9/11 hearings and this hearing would be no different. Joseph Biden (D-Del) said “I love you” to Gonzalez and called him “old buddy,” and then straight up called him a liar in the next sentence. The liberal rule says you can say anything mean or racist as long as you say something nice first or say it while smiling. Naturally, almost all of the Democrats were impressed with his rags-to-riches story just seconds before asking Gonzales a question.

At worst, if all the Democrats are right, we will have an Attorney General who thinks it is okay to aggressively ask questions of Al-Qaida trained terrorists who want to kill Americans, and who will take an extra look at foreign-born non-citizens who fly planes and look like they might be Al-Qaida trained terrorists. That isn't torture. That is called self-defense.

Real torture is watching these election-losing bumbling blowhards as they try to bring down every conservative that comes down the pike. Check that, every minority conservative that comes down the pike.

This week was about more than just Alberto Gonzales. If that hearing wasn't insulting enough, Maxine Waters (iDiot-Cal), informed the world that she was 'ashamed' that Ohio's Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell was an 'African-American man.' If only Mr. Blackwell were a conservative white woman, then Michael Moore could make a really convincing movie about how an evil white Republican with too much make-up stole over 115,000 votes from black Ohioans.

Among Mr. Blackwell's many apparent crimes, he: 1) certifies election results according to procedure, 2) VRWB (Votes Republican While Black), and 3) plans to run for Governor in 2006. I wonder if she is 'ashamed' that O.J. is 'an African-American man'? What about the DC snipers? Or Shaquille O’Neal, for making 'Kazaam?' Well?

Unfortunately we don't know if she is ashamed of murderers - or bad actors - who share her race. We do know who is on her shame list, and it includes a Secretary of State, a future Secretary of State, a Supreme Court Justice, and a future Ohio Governor (imagine the tears streaming from Barbara Boxer's face then).

Gonzales and Blackwell now belong to an ever-expanding list of 'attackable minorities' i.e., conservatives. These high-profile figures really dampen the left's perception of what Republicans should be: wealthy white men. At some point liberals will have to come to terms with the possibility that the Republican base is far more expansive than they ever imagined, and that it wasn't 61 million white male millionaires who voted for Bush in November. But given the nature of liberals, I won't hold my breath.

Limbaugh had that clip on... the woman is an absolute blithering idiot.

I am ashamed to belong to the human race, with critters like her in it.

With the entrenchment of the Right wing sponsored unverifiable touchscreen electronic voting system as well as with the Trident, Diebold and E&SS controlled optical scanner and punch card electronic counting systems primarily in the southern states, but not exluding Ohio, the Dixiecrats' that split from the Democratic Party when the Democratic Party went pro civil rights and that took over the Republican Party can finally claim victory in the civil war that really began in the American Revolution when rich propertied slave owning white men chose not to include the freeing of the black slave and not granting the vote to women in that so-called revolution.

And the world's longest sentence award goes to... Lloyd & Namiko Hart!

General MacArthur put down a rebellion by Muslim extremists in the Philippines by burying pig carcasses with the bodies of killed rebels. This put so much fear into the Muslims, that the rebellion stopped.

Today, when interrogating Muslim extremist prisoners, why not walk into their cells with a heaping plate of bacon. The interrogator could munch on a few pieces and then, after a few questions, ask the prisoner if he was hungry. Personally, I'd threaten to shove the bacon down their throats. Believe me, they would talk. To them, eating pork, or even touching it, guarantees them a one-way ticket to hell courtesy of the "merciful" Allah.
