O'Reilly, Guests: Torture Not All That Bad (VIDEO)

Sigh. Another day, another dollar, another session of pure B.S. from Bill O'Reilly and his merry band of idiot friends. In this clip, via Crooks and Liars, the demented Tammy Bruce issues all sorts of odd sounds from her cakehole, including these gems on torture and how it's really not that bad:

O'REILLY: The only probable cause is one person in Guantanamo said -- and she described, you know, loud music, stress positions, what do you say to that, Tammy, that there's been enough news reporting to raise it to probable cause. I don't agree, but what do you think?

BRUCE: No, loud music and standing for long hours and not having enough water is what I experience in West Hollywood on occasion. The truth of the matter is, this is classic Bush Derangement Syndrome. It's something that was coined by Charles Krauthammer, I believe, where these are individuals who are obsessed and paranoid about the president, and they're going to have to, in one of their favorite phrases, move on. Sooner than later. It just makes no sense. These are people who don't need to be in office, they need to be in a psychiatrist's office.

Naturally, you aren't supposed to make logical sense of this, though, I too think that we should err on the side of "Day Spent Traipsing Around WeHo" rather than "Pyramids of Ball-Shocked, Dog-Traumatized Waterboardees." Bruce's only mission here is to help O'Reilly's viewers to get comfortable with her own base moral perversions. (We also love the jab at West Hollywood! Very much in keeping with the overall mood of O'Reilly's show, which I'd describe as "constant and intractable gay panic." It's those subtle extras that get you invited back on the Factor.)

Anyway, since torture is no big deal, and fun to joke about, we sure hope that Bruce spends many long hours enduring painful, Gitmo-style stress positions!

Recently Obama dropped bombs on innocent Afghan freedom fighters and killed their children. Apparently torture is bad but killing is good.....Obama certainly does have a new way of looking at things.....Death is better than a wet face......I like it!!!!!

Oh, the Twilight Zone...

Can I be the first in line to administer to her some friendly tor--ture. I promise she won't feel a thing.

Does this mean if an enemy of the USA applied the same techniques to US servicemen or other American citizens, Brother Bill and company wouldn't consider it torture?

I have a really strong hunch they would.

She needs to volunteer for some torture so she knows wherefrom she speaks.

Tammy Bruce - typical conservatroid that twists the points of the opposition. She accuses Liberals of equating the war with a war crime. In fact, you could almost make the point. But the main point is that TORTURE is a war crime. Conservatroids can't win on the truth, only on lies.

[zedthewizard]

like usual, you all miss the best argument against this nonsense.

torture is painful.
torture works.
torture does not cause much inconvienence to the tortured so it isn't that bad.

how exactly then does torture work?

the prisoner folds due to a moderately painless situation. why create prisons when we can merely bring them to west hollywood for the night?

[booker52]

Shall we have someonw water board Billo?? Then have him make that same statement??

[protagonia]

She has no idea what she is saying.

Just reading her talking point memo - like a good little neo con robot. Just the way all those puppets do.

"holds political science degree from USC" hysterical, says it all.

[Slapmewhenitsover]

The University of Spoiled Children has been putting these creeps on the street for far too long.

[13lotus]

so, is she standing so long in west hollywood as her nightly part-time job on a corner?

sick. she is sick. and ridiculous.

[BlackJAC]

The reason O'Reilly champions torture's effectiveness is because he's generalizing from self: he's a squealer who'd give you his Social Security number with just the intimation that the taser would go near his genitals.

I used to listen to this nitwit on LA talk radio. She has never had any credibility and never will. Her only claim to fame is being a stand in for Skinny Annie when she had her jawed wired shut.

Tammy Bruce. Interesting glitch there in her voice. Call it the hiccup of hate. I think this happens when a person, knowing that they are lying, puts too much pressure on their vocal cords. Ann Coulter fights this phenomenon by lowering her voice to an angry baritone. I think in Tammy's case, it could be cured with a joyful round of waterboarding. Worth a try, I say. It might even ignite something like a thought process. Then again, probably not.

Listening to the rationale that O'Reilly and his guests use to justify their arguments is torture......
