Coulter brings up a tender subject for Hannity: Fox anchors getting waterboarded
By David Neiwert Sunday May 10, 2009 12:15pm
I'm pretty sure Ann Coulter must practice her toxic little bon mots in front of a mirror, because they never really are spontaneous. But you can always count on them to be irredeemably vicious and usually eliminationist, like this one tossed out Friday on Sean Hannity's Fox News show:
I asked [Joy Behar] if she wanted to be aborted, since she supports the right to an abortion, which is my new idea for detainees at Guantanamo, that we just submit them to what liberals consider one of our precious constitutional rights, a partial birth abortion.
Just so we're clear here: Coulter is using "abortion" as a synonym for murder, so she's suggesting -- jokingly, of course! It's just a joke! Can't you liberals take a joke? -- that we murder the detainees at Guantanamo.
But before registering that little bit of ugliness, Coulter brought up something of a sensitive subject:
Um, yeah, waterboarding, as I mentioned before, has been submitted to by various male hosts on Fox News. There was a period there, I mean, it must have been sweeps week. Every time I'd turn on the TV I'd see a Fox News correspondent being waterboarded.
People don't -- ah -- journalists keep submitting themselves not just on Fox, but submitting themselves to waterboarding, and then saying, 'Whew, that was torture.' Um, no, you wouldn't submit to it if you were attaching electrodes to your testicles. That's torture!
And Nancy Pelosi hearing about this -- 'Oh, but it wasn't going to be practiced until a month from now' -- that's torture! Dunking somebody's head in water is not something we prosecuted Japanese for, and it's certainly not torture!
Her claim about how we handled Japanese waterboarding is, of course, a flat-out lie.
But we noticed Hannity squirming in his seat a little as Coulter began talking about all the Fox employees who actually have been waterboarded for the sake of greater News Corp ratings. Because Sean Hannity, after all, offered to be waterboarded "for charity" back on April 22 on his show with Charles Grodin (we've attached that clip to the end of this video):
However, two weeks later, Hannity has yet to mention the promise again — despite the offer from MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann to help Hannity raise funds by donating $1,000 for every second Hannity is waterboarded.
Funny he didn't follow up on that with Coulter, dontcha think? I mean, Hannity's a big brave red-blooded American, isn't he?

No, he's a yellow bellied clueless coward with a big mouth.
C and L are you so hard up for comments and "hot" new issues that you must continue to give this skank press of any kind. she must take great pleasure in seeing her comments reach print.
agreed
Yeah, we're really hard up for comments.
Didn't republican traitors claim the longest underwater stint was 1 1/2 minutes. Hannity has to best that Islamo-fascists record by at least 5 seconds if he's any kind of an #1 American hard ass.
Hitchens did it...
He's the only one I've heard of, and he's not a Faux-head...
...when Hitchens or Hannity (if he were to agree to submit to it) are waterboarded as a demonstration, because they know that those administering the torture aren't trying to cause them any harm. Not so with a prisoner who's being waterboarded by someone who's hostile.
Does Coulter have parents?
Has anyone slapped them yet?
Hearing her talk about her right wing father is kind of creepy.
Her father made his fortune destroying workers rights and benfits for corporations.
He probably took little Annie downtown to laugh at the homeless and starving workers, who became destitute thanks to his legal work for corporate america.
The spawn of satan indeed!
The Nazi-esque geneticists in the deepest bowels of the Faux News building that created her from genetic samples from Elizabeth Báthory and Delphine LaLaurie count as parents.
Yeah, her parents were Adolph Hitler and Eva Braun.
to see Coulturd and Milkhead naked in a tub smearing each other with shit and saying "you lousy excuse for a person" to each other.
We have a lot of shit here at the farm.
I wonder if Ann has ever had menstral cramps or if she's lucky enough to be one of those women whose periods were always just a breeze and only lasted two days. I swear, some girls get all the breaks.
I defy Ann to name a single Fox correspondent that she witnessed being "waterboarded" on TV. Never happened.
I know Christopher Hitchens (of Vanity Fair) did (It's on YouTube), and maybe one other person, but that's it.
To re-ignite the pressure on Hannity, I say Keith ought to solicit contributions each day on his show. Raise the stakes. Maybe Sean will agree once he hits $10,000 a second. (I put one stipulation on it though: the person doing the waterboarding must not be someone Hannity trusts to stop when he says; and when he give's the signal he's had enough, the person needs to continue for at least an extra five seconds... just enough to send him into a panic so he knows how a real detainee feels.)
n/t
i think they should send hannity to gitmo
and the let the detainees waterboard him....
then he will no real terror and fear... and
not the bs he eats and spews everyday.
Have a right wing blowhard board-off.
We could turn it into a betting bonanza - like the Kentucky Derby.
Which loud mouthed, semi retarded right wing idiot can be waterboarded the longest. "Place yer' bets!"
ODDS ARE:
Coulter 5 to 1
Hannity 28 to 1
Limbaugh 360 to 1
Beck 45 to 1
O'Reilly 50 to 1
Weiner-Savage 35 to 1 etc...
Yeah. I didn't get that. Was she being ironic? Because I'm pretty sure none of these guys have been waterboarded or we'd have heard all about it. For months if not years.
I wouldn't trust it even if I saw it on camera though. The victims face is covered with a cloth so how would you know it was legit even if Hannity was waterboarded on the air?
I can't watch. I live in a coulter-free zone inside my head.
....cause the part she uses for thinking is clearly not working anymore...
(Just as crazy an idea as miss Coulter vents...)
"I asked [Joy Behar] if she wanted to be aborted"
Well, according to the theology of people like Hannity, fetuses are innocent and without sin, so an abortion would be a non-stop ticket to eternal paradise in the arms of Jesus.
If this is true, who wouldn't want to be aborted? Why go through a 65-70 year veil of tears only to risk stumbling and going to hell after you die?
Hannity's argument makes no sense...
I don't know that Hannity actually thinks about these things (his idea of what it means to be Christian is nuts), but the whole original sin thing means to many people that even a fetus needs to be 'saved' to go to heaven.
That must be a Catholic thing. I was taught that when babies and small children die before reaching the "age of wisdom" (whatever that is) they automatically go to heaven.
In some deranged point of view, aren't we doing a favor then when an abortion is performed?
Yeah it's a sick and deranged way to look at it, but as the topic is on Coulter, sick and deranged is the name of the game.
"In some deranged point of view, aren't we doing a favor then when an abortion is performed?"
Yep.
Actually, I have reservations about abortion for the reason that, unlike Hannity, I'm NOT sure there's a God or an afterlife. If this life is the only one we'll ever know, then it seems abortion is a crime against a person's right to live the only life he/she will ever have.
However, if aborted fetuses automatically go to heaven, I have no problems with it. Heck, even INFANTICIDE is fine if this is the case.
Fetuses are tainted with original sin and their souls consigned to limbo as are the souls of unbaptized babies, Jesus being an asshole, just like his dad
Please C&L, give this skank all the press she deserves.
It's a "perfected" act.
They say the most horrible things
But I hear violins
I have a pretty good idea what having electrodes attached would be like or having my eyes poked out or being beaten, etc. Part of the problem is that the description of waterboarding dosen't sound all that bad and that is why going through waterboarding is instructive. Since Ann loves to be on the tube so much, maybe she should try it.
I'm against when anchors go through mock torture like this and when Olberman keeps mocking Hannity egging him on to experience it. Even though Hannity hasn't done it, if he did and survived for a few seconds I think it would trivialize what the people that are actually tortured go through. It is one thing to go through a few seconds or even minutes when you know you can stop it at any time and that people who are doing it will be careful not to injure you. It is quite another to be tortured for real for an extended time by someone who hates you and knows he won't be punished if you suffer injury or die.
1. even if hannity was waterboarded and secretly thought it was torturous, he wouldn't say so, and would use the experience to back up his support of the technique
2. ann coulter needs her ugly ass to be waterboarded with that flea dip water at the pet groomer, then pour some down her pants to kill the crabs too
Isn't this the chick that ran from a cream pie?
"People don't -- ah -- journalists keep submitting themselves not just on Fox, but submitting themselves to waterboarding, and then saying, 'Whew, that was torture.' Um, no, you wouldn't submit to it if you were attaching electrodes to your testicles. That's torture!"
Now how would Coulter know about whether that's torture or not???
haha
Sean Hannity said he would write a check to charity instead of being waterboarded:
http://whitenoiseinsanity.com/2009/04/24/sean...
I had KO's show on when I wrote this, but can't seem to find another link online to back it up with! Did anyone else hear this? Maybe I did hear it wrong.
typical repub....all talk
no walk
What's the definition of a nanosecond?
The period of time that would elapse between Coulter's positive pregnancy test result and her arrival at the abortion clinic.
I think society should go for a pre-emptive strike and vote to have the bitch spayed.
He was saying "No, I'm not gonna be waterboarded". But come on Hannity, let a 'woman' answer for you? That's all that piece was about, Hannity signalling to KO that not only won't he be waterboarded for charity, but that he doesn't even have the balls to say it for himself - I just wonder what kind of favor he has to do to Coulter for covering his ass.
Hannity, like most male conservatives, is a soft doughy coward.
O'Mousedick, Beck, Morris, Bennett, John King, Dobbs, Limpdick, Rove, Cheney, Bill Cunningham, Humme etc etc etc.
Just a comment about Paul Begala and telling Ari (Asshole of the Month winner many times over) Fleischer that Japanese were exucuted for waterboarding; I think somebody (Olbermann) should have McCain on his show and ask McCain POINT BLANK how he can say we should move on and forget that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld et al ORDERED this torture. Ask him how he can condone "moving on".
since when do two piles of shit have a conversation?
first time i saw steaming poop wearing a blond wig?
I wish someone would attach electrodes to Coulter's testicles.
then she would have illuminated mumps...lol
Of course we can take a joke. Coulter ain't dead yet is she? The fact that, that joke of a human being is still around spewing her venom like a baby pit viper is proof enough we can take a joke.
"I asked [Joy Behar] if she wanted to be aborted, since she supports the right to an abortion"
Um, what? Someone lock this bitch in a cage, please.
This sounds like a "Concerned Canuck" argument.
They are bullies. They also have such poor manners. Where were republicans raised? Or maybe it is some sort of personality disorder? I have never surrounded myself with such hatred. I have seen it up close a few times and departed immediately. They should be exposed and shunned.
I've said before on this forum that I experienced Survival Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) while in the US Navy, though at the time I did it, in 1969, they did not waterboard me at the time as it was not part of the training.
I submit that any US service member who has participated in the SERE Program and was actually waterboarded as a way of training them what to expect, or any journalist who willingly took the punishment to report on its effects, is 1 trillion times more courageous than a little shitball like Sean Hannity who said he "asked Ollie North about it" and has so far cravenly refused to live up to his false bravado of "I'll do it for charity".
Show us your brass balls, Sean, or shut your fucking yap about how great torture is.
Let's hope the pressure on Hannity does not subside...

...that are war crimes and crimes against humanity ground for disbarring Counselor Coulter?
She is obviously still tired from voluntering to be teabagged for hours and hours. The bleach blonde bimbo should start brushing her huge yellow horse teeth more often.
Lard-Ass Hannity doesn't have a hair on his crybaby, scared Ass.
I would love to see Coultier waterboarded....or even have electrodes attached to her testicles....we all know ann...it's ok.
