Hasselbeck is a dumb .
Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, making a guest appearance on ABC’s The View, gave co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck a lesson or two about the torture technique known as waterboarding.
Ventura, who underwent a barrage of torture techniques at the military Survival, Evade, Resist and Escape (SERE) school, confirmed for Hasselbeck that waterboarding is torture and not just an “enhanced interrogation technique.”
“If waterboarding is okay, why don’t we let our police do it to suspects to learn what they know?” he asked to a chorus of applause.
“That’s an interesting question,” Hasselbeck said. “I understand that question.”
“If waterboarding is okay, why didn’t we waterboard [Timothy] McVeigh and [Terry] Nichols, the Oklahoma City bombers, to find out if there were more people involved? What’s your answer to that?” he asked. “We only seem to waterboard Muslims.”
“That’s an extremist statement,” said Hasselbeck.
“Aha!” cheered Ventura. “Have we waterboarded anybody else? Name me someone else we’ve waterboarded.”
She could not, instead shifting focus to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who has been criticized by Republicans for a seeming contradiction in disclosing what she knew about then-President Bush’s torture program, and when.
“They want her out because she lied?” asked Ventura. “Why didn’t they ask for Bush and Cheney to go out when they lied about why we went into Iraq?”

“That’s an extremist statement,” said Hasselbeck, modelling the latest in rhetorical white flags conservatives find fashionable these days.
Truth is extremism?
We've truly gone through the looking glass.
Have they waterboarded United States citizens?
if not that's the difference.
If they have, well, that's just wrong.
Don't give em ideas...
Some of you fools have a problem with cops searching cars. Giving the cops the right to waterboard, holy , won't happen. Wish they would let the CIA waterboard Casey Anthony.
Forgive us us, Jack, for sticking up for our rights. You're free to give yours away for nothing, but you shouldn't be surprised if the whole world doesn't agree with you.

What are you afraid of? If you have nothing to hide, then no problem, right?
If you catch a killer,no question period about he/she killing people and u have lots of reasons to believe he/she killed others, I say waterboard his/her ass. I think most people would agree especially the families of those missing that ran across the murderer. Give them justice.
When Jesse Ventura is the voice of sanity, something is terribly wrong.
He beat down that moron Elizabeth Hasselbeck like she was o Santana and finished off with one of Body Breaker.
That would be uncons utional:
The Fifth Amendment to the United States Cons ution protects witnesses from being forced to incriminate themselves. To "plead the Fifth" is a refusal to answer a question because the response could form self incriminating evidence. Historically, the legal protection against self-incrimination is directly related to the question of torture for extracting information and confessions.
Have you ever even READ the cons ution? You're making a strong argument for being the most uninformed non-troll poster on Spurstalk.
Don't knock it. It's his forte.
Because we do it to TERRORISTS
we don't do it for stealing a pack of condoms.
How about stealing billions of dollars of American taxpayer money?
How about organized crime designed to instill fear in certain neighborhoods?
How about gang violence and abuse of random civilians?
How about raping women?
None of those count as terrorism?
It's all so very scary.
Get some more water. I'm ready to start counting them when you are
Dexter operates outside the law and gets done!
LOL! If that were the case, most of the politicians would be imitating goldfish.
The damage that the faux conservative president and his political advisers have done to conservatism is staggering. Again and again, it is apparent that the American electorate is trending towards a desire for greater individual liberty. Instead of grasping this and moving on to reviving an actual alternative to further sodomy by the state, 'conservatives' continue to seek to debate the past. Doing so only continues to define conservatism as the neo-progressive militarist movement that was the last Bush presidency. Of course, I'm assuming that those 'conservatives' are acutally desirous of limited government and greater liberty. That is not the case.
If Obama is really the "Anti-Christ," as I've seen some 'conservatives' claim (I always thought the true Anti-Christ would be Jerry Buss, but what do I know?) then Bush paved the way for him. How long is it going to take you idiots to figure that out?
Cops don't have to waterboard they use steel toe boot interrogation.
