Hannity's Waterboarding: Submit Your Question and the Answer He Must Give to Stop

Sean Hannity, like his cowardly rightwing compatriots Cheney, Limbaugh, Kristol, O'Reilly, Lowry, Gingrich, talks a big game about fighting spirit, war, toughness, but when it comes to putting their own bodies on the line, they follow their leader George W Bush's answer to his Air National Guard's question about whether he would volunteer for overseas duty, and check the "no" box.

Hannity has now broken ranks. He has agreed to be waterboarded, and Keith Oblermann has offered him $1000 per second that he undergoes it with the money going to charity.

But, waterboarding is for a purpose. We are told by those same cowards that waterboarding is not torture and is effective to obtain the truth to a critical question.

Recently, rightwing nut Frank Gaffney told Matthews that Saddam Hussein had a hand in the Oklahoma City bombing. He must have been waterboarded--how else could such a credible statement been elicited?

So, in addition for Olbermann's money that will go to charity, let us use Hannity's waterboarding to get a key question answered...and, in the tradition of the Bush Administration, why not pre-determine the answer and continue the waterboarding until Hannity provides it?

Submit your questions for Hannity, and I will be sure to pass them along to his interrogator. Submit the required answer in a reply to your own comment, so we can submit those separately--if Hannity knows the answer, the waterboarding will cease too quickly and the charity will not get as much of Olbermann's money.

Here's my entry: "Sean, why is it that you never volunteered for military service?" His responses will be:
"I had other priorities" (sorry Sean, that's Cheney's);
"I had 2 a-holes" (aka, pilonidal sinus, won't work, that's Limbaugh's);
"bum knee" (nope, that's O'Reilly's, Buchanan's, Chambliss's);
"too young" (taken, Bill Kristol's);
"acne" (Judd Gregg);
"minorities took all the positions" (good try, but that's Tom DeLay's)
"I was hoping to be called for 6 years, but they never did" (Mitt Romney's, and doesn't explain why you didn't volunteer, does it?)
"Thank god we have an all-volunteer army...more patriotic to get my dad elected President" (Mitt Romney on his 5 sons' not volunteering, and his 5 sons on why not...no wash with part one, and Sean's daddy is not a Presidential possibility, so no go on that one either).

So the waterboarding continues until he says: "I am a coward, I don't really my country enough to sacrifice my life or health for it--I just pretend--and so I strongly favor US military actions so long as other people fight them".

No pressure if you do not know what his unacceptable answers will be. Just ask your question and, if you wish, include the answer that stops his waterboarding.

Limbaugh called waterboarding the equivalent of a fraternity prank. So, let's all have fun together.

Go Sean Go. Go Sean Go. Go Sean Go. Go Sean Go.

Or, just go.

Q: Was the Bush White House complicit in abetting or enabling the terrorist attack on 9/11 for the purpose of assuming dictatorial powers for himself?

A: Yes.

[Cahullin]

Mr hannity has a greaty advantage if he ends up being water-boarded. Unlike the prisoners that this technique has been used on, Mr. Hannity already knows they are not going to let him died. That's not torture

[mgray34]

I attended service yesterday and the scripture reading for the day was Romans 12. The last two verses of this chapter are very interesting when considering the debate about torture.

Verse 20 reads “therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in doing so thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.” Verse 21 says “be not overcome of ev.il, but overcome ev.il with good.”

In short, these verses say simply that if you treat your enemies right even though they may treat you wrong, they’re gonna start feeling awkward and guilty because they know they don’t deserve the good treatment they’re getting from you. Furthermore, one maintains the moral / spiritual high ground if they don’t lower themselves by exhibiting the same behavior of their enemy.

This country is always being advertised as being a “Chri.stia­n” nation. Bush, made public confessions on several occasions that he was a “Born Again” Chris.tian­. Sean Hannity confesses to being a Chris.tian­. If Hannity and people like him would focus more on reading their Bible and walking the walk instead of baring false witness and justifying something that goes against the god they claim to serve, there would be no debate on the merits of an act that will damage this country’s reputation for many years to come.

Hey Sean, how many times does a lie have to be repeated before it becomes the truth?

[CherokeeGirl]

do you feel like you are drowning and feel like you are gonna die?

do you wanna die right now while being waterboarded?

do you now think it's torture?

[CherokeeGirl]

Correct Answer:
YES! YES! YES!

[CRA1]

Hey Seanee, while you are be waterboarded can you say "I love George Bush?"

[Rrhain]

Is it safe?

[gtalkspolitics]

Sean are you aware that American viewers can tell you have very little formal education? are you aware the American public is aware of you relationship with the self proclaim racist HAL TURNER, since you're always trying to connect Pres. Obama with the guilt by assocation conviction don't you think this makes you look dishonest.­.?

[italianspaniard]

his father was a potato farmer back in ireland

[dorkus54]

Sean, when did you start hating your country?

[olderwhitelady]

Sean, who would Jesus torture?

[ldavis24]

excellent

[smk101]

This one gets my vote!

[doctorkosan]

What is the over/under on the number of seconds Hannity would last?

[IDgal]

Did the national debt rise from $700B to $3T during the Reagan presidency? Answer: Yes
Did President Reagan raise taxes after the tax cut of 1981 which by the way produced a major loss in government revenues? Answer: Yes because the tax cut wasn't working to help the recession.

I think questions that would shed light on his constant lies would be useful. He would have to admit the right answers in order for the "torture" to stop.

[Sandy972]

My question would be:

Sean, with very little formal education, since you dropped out of college and immediately started working on the radio, what would make anyone trust your opinion on economics, gay marraige, immigration, law, torture, world politics, American politics, etc., etc., etc.......­?

His answer will probably be, "my insight on life in general"/ At which point he must immediately be fired, along with all the other stupid disc jockeys, Limbaugh, Coulter, O'Reilly, Savage, Medved and the like. Put someone on the air, that at least has some education.

[jackthecommentor]

This goofy contest is another example of how most people think that ORTURE is a big joke. if you think this is funny then you probable should'nt be allowed to comment on it in the first place. To make light of the subject is akin to supporting it. It sounds like you all are against it as long as your political antithesis is diong it, but at the same time, you are willing to be involved in it because you think would be "cute" or "funny" if it happened to someone you dislike. How blind do you have to be to see that if you become the monster that you hate, then you become the monster?

[calfacon]

Well said. I find this whole thread objectionable.

[Ashamed-in-Texas]

Ok, try to follow closely here, Jack. First, what is "ORTURE"??? If you inadvertently missed the "T" key, I'm good with assuming you meant torture. Second, what joke? Who thinks its a joke - not anyone here, I can absolutely assure you. It is your pal, Hannity that believes waterboarding is no big deal and should be allowed to contine. He doesn't see the seriousness of the crime.

Thirdly, it is not any of us that think it is "cute" or "funny." What we do think is that your pal Hannity - in his quest to enlighten the public of his increasingly thoughtless run-off-at­-the-mouth stupidity - VOLUNTEERED to be waterboarded. This, a man, who did not serve his country, did not choose to educate himself in an institute of higher learning, and makes a joke out of the most serious of issues such as his continual disparaging of our President 4 hours a day.

The joke here is that Hannity incites fear and hate for our President, but has no fear - so he proclaims through is volunteering - for a form of abuse that should be feared and hated.

You getting where I'm going here??? The joke is the twisted thinking of a man-child that overloads his alligator mouth through is hummingbirs a$$.

It is Hannity that's the joke - not the torture that he wants to make the joke.

[kapalabhati]

It is also Hannity who is making a mockery of those who were tortured. Excellent post.

[jackthecommentor]

First let me say that Hannity is not my pal. Secondly let me apologize for the typo.I am merely saying that torture is wrong anyway you look at it. People who jump to conclusions out of a lack of ability to process thought ,and without the benefit of being able to get over their own narrow minded opinion of the situation, may want to count to 10 before appointing Hannity as a "pal" of anyone. Rovian tactics of connecting people to others by virtue of some act or statement that
'they" misunderstood, should be beneath any intellectually honest person. Thank You and have a torture free great day!

[JimR]

Oh sorry, your Highness. I didn't realize you been appointed the arbiter of all that is right and proper.

[calfacon]

You want to sink to the level of Hannity and Limbaugh? Be my guest.

[rob2007]

The "goofy" tone of this "contest" is known as irony. Everyone knows Hannity will never follow through with this. The author is mocking Hannity's disingenuous offer. Of further irony is Hannity would attain instant credibility that even Keith Olbermann would recognize if indeed he would go through with it. Sadly, we will never know because clearly Hannity is a coward who hides behind his mic and the ignorance of his viewers.

[Chapmanp2]

Mr. Hannity, Isn't it true that Republicans of stature are all part of a cynical joke being perpetrated on the citizens of the United States & more particularly die hard Republicans, to convince them that torture & previous actions on our behalf were acceptable??? Is it true that you & your associates laugh about it & know you are defending the indefensible???

[ThatOne4Me]

Sean will you serve in Iraq outside the green zone for 1 year?

[Lemeritus]

Too easy.
