Gag me...just tried to watch Clark on Hannity & colmes

[NightOwwl]

Oh my god! Hannity just lies his ass off through the entire segment. WTF is he talking about that the Geneva Convention doesn't apply to enemy combatants? And he keeps saying, "we aren't killing them" over and over again...like that is something to be proud of.

Gah. What a :puke: fest.

I wish Clark had called him on his lies, but then it probably would have turned into a shoutfest. Clark stood up for Durbin, and changed the focus from Hannity's rant to the fact that the administration has no plan for these prisoners. He said more, but honestly, I was so nauseous from watching Hannity I can't remember anything else.

I love Clark, but I will never sit through that kind of bile again.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

1. he may just be the guy to take hannity down

but that station is "the danger zone"

[Straight Shooter]

2. But we are killing them. Some of the prisoners have died, violently.

Or maybe they have to be dead for a year before it can be confirmed by a Gitmo medical examiner? :eyes:

[kittenpants]

8. seriously, he's even lying about his lowest basic defense! n/t

[DebJ]

3. some Dem needs to say, to hell with Geneva, what about ethical

treatment, what about moral leadership?

[Pirate Smile]

4. You were unaware of what a lying sack of sh#$ Hannity is?

It really is mind boggling. I know how terrible he (and Faux)is yet they still make me go :wow:

[NightOwwl]

10. I knew it in theory...

but to sit and watch him lie over and over again was like a punch in the gut.

[Pirate Smile]

26. It shows you what we are up against. They have no shame and

lie without a second thought.

It actually shows why it may be important that Clark is over there fighting. You can see why people who watch Faux would be so clueless and believe so many lies.

I can't deal with watching Faux but we probably should view it like the new 50 state strategy in the DNC. We can't abandon anywhere. We have to fight everywhere - Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, and on Faux News or else they just assume what Hannity says is true.

But I can't stomach it.

[Snotcicles]

5. Clark just signed a deal with Fox n/t

[MichiganVote]

9. Well that's a waste of time. The Bush propaganda machine

will not help him and he will not help Fox. I never watch it. Until they get rid of those assholes like hannity and o'reilly the perv, why give myself a headache?

[LightningFlash]

6. Until someone either fires or completely discredits sean hannity,

Faux News is doomed to failure. Its credability is bullshit now. :thumbsdown:

[Hobarticus]

7. I cannot understand why the General would subject himself to that...

I know WHY, but he's smarter asleep than Hannity is on his best day. What's the point?

God bless him, he's a better man than I.

[phillysuse]

15. Why Clark is on Fox

General Clark has encouraged us all to write letters to the editor,
email the media, call in to talk shows and "speak truth to power".

What better venue for him than to go behind enemy lines and
proudly speak truth to power.

People listening to Fox will realize that there is an adult
in the room, a patriot who cares about the direction of the
country, a Democrat who is not afraid to take a stand, who
supported Michael Moore, who supported Howard Dean, who
supported John Kerry and worked tirelessly for him.

Red staters will see a Democrat who understands foreign policy, an internationalist who believes in working with our allies, a military
man who can explain in ways others cannot how Bush has destroyed our
military and how Bush's torture camps threaten our soldiers lives.

Thank you General Clark.

[NightOwwl]

21. He could possibly open up some closed minds.

eta: Clark goes behind enemy lines...ain't that the truth.

[reality based]

18. Those who lie down with dogs get fleas n/t

[KittyWampus]

20. Clark Isn't The Sort To "Lie Down" He Stands & Fights Like The Righteous

truthteller he is.

[Rowdyboy]

24. And he certainly did tonight!

He is a master!

[Cha]

11. Thanks for tryin'..I

would in no way be able to do it either..but I thank those people who are able to go behind enemy lines.

[NightOwwl]

14. I'm sticking to News Hounds from now on...

their slogan "We watch FOX so you don't have to." says it all.

16. Thank you! That's quite

a job they do..bless their Progressive Hearts :patriot:

[bpilgrim]

12. someone needs to remind him that he is using imperial japans argument

from WWII but that would be ILLEGAL/UNLAWFUL COMBATANTS.

ENEMY combatants applies to ANY enemy... but ILLEGAL combatants implies that they are not qualified for protection which didn't go over well for the Japanese to this very day which I'm sure he'd agree with.

13. Too bad America is worse than the VietCong.

Number of American POWs who died from all causes during 10 years of Vietnam;

114.

Number of Gitmo Gulag detainees dead, most from violent causes in the past 4 years;

108.

Does Hannity or pigboy of bush et al want to discuss these 2 figures? Would be ncie if the US "msm" bothered to point out the fact of these 2 figures. Would explain to the American sheeple just why the world is fucking outraged by us.

[NightOwwl]

19. Whatever happened to those "new" Abu Ghraib photos...

that were supposed to be released? What excuses are the administration and their media butt boys going to make when people see evidence of torture that makes the first round of pictures look like child's play.

[LynnTheDem]

23. They're still in-process of being released; bush has until end of June

I believe.

And yeah, these ones will not be called "frathouse games" even by psycho assholes such as pigboy.

[friesianrider]

17. Unfortunately AMERICA signed the Geneva Convention...

Unless it's cool for the US to just go around killing people at will.

[FloridaPat]

22. He's right about the Geneva Convention not covering enemy combatants.

Enemy combatants are terrorists without countries. We have no idea who they're holding down in Gitmo. There has not been any legal preceedings about whether these guys are enemy combatants or soldiers from Afghanistan or wherever. however, they did have an Englishman there. And as someone else has pointed out, they have not been charged. And everything is being done to not allow anyone down there to talk to them. I don't know what they're up to besides torture.

[Sparkly]

25. Yup -- a "Legal Black Hole." n/t
