This, I want to see.
Ventura says that Hannity cut short his interview with him before they had a chance to discuss waterboarding because he’s afraid of the former governor and pro wrestler.
“He’s scared to death of me,” says Ventura. “It was over in a few minutes and that was it.”
Ventura offered his own version of Keith Olbermann’s vow to give a thousand dollars to charity for every second that Hannity undergoes waterboarding.
“I’ll bet [Hannity] a thousand bucks that I can get him to say ‘Barack Obama is the greatest president’ — if I get him to say it, he’ll give the thousand to charity and if I can’t, I’ll give the money to charity.”
This is actually the strategy I’d like to see the Democrats adopt across the board, including on the issue of Guantanamo detainees. Question the courage of the Republicans. Call them cowards and challenge them to prove otherwise.
Republicans, courage? Come on BooMan, all they can is talk and bully. When it comes to deeds and actions, the GOP-ers are long gone. Yes, I agree with your approach, call them cowards and challenge them to prove themselves. Just don’t hold your breath until they deliver.
kinda hard to call someone a coward when you’ve got your own tail between your legs, eh?
there are 33 vertebrae in the human spine, l seriously doubt you can find enough of them in the entire congress to assemble a single one, from either side of the aisle.
Ventura has been a joy to watch as he lays waste to the GOP flunkies, head on.
The rethugs would wet their pants if anyone actually called them out.
The media sure as hell does not.
the talk show host didnt last 7 seconds and now states without reservation that WB is torture.
now, do you think that the media AND the dems will get this out?
DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH!!!!!

Bingo!! I don’t know why Pelosi or Harry Reid never do this. We know Obama won’t and that is okay. We know Evan Bayh, Harold Ford, Jr., and Ben Nelson won’t but we don’t expect anything less from them. Remember a month or two ago when Alan Grayson called Boss :imbaugh a big, fat, pill popping bully? I don’t get why Democrats refuse to call Republicans for what they are. Maybe I do and it speaks ill for a lot of Democrats.
hey Boo- speaking about waterboarding- how about the Chicago lunatic that lasted not more than 7 seconds!! A true gooper nut and he came away saying that it is definitely TORTURE!!!!!
if you are interested- google; mankow waterboarding

"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."DHS, GWOT and the last 8 years of MSM are monuments to GOP fear.
I’m really loving Jesse Ventura lately. His old wrass-lin’ persona is serving up some whup-ass. He’s a friggin’ professional on the bluster, swagger, he-man circuit. Someone should give him a show. Seriously. It would be fun to see if Rush, Hannity or Beck would dare go toe-to-toe with him and every day they fail to show up he can just call ’em out for the cowards and wusses they are! His first guest could be Senator Al Franken!!! Gawd, that would be entertaining…
Yeah. MSNBC could put him on after Rachel each night. We’d never know who he’s gonna beat up on tonight. It could be Republicans for being idiots or Democrats for being Wussies. I think I’d enjoy it.
As appealing as the strategy of calling out the Repubs as cowards is, there are far too many gutless wonders in the Dem party too, especially at the upper levels of the power structure. So, not likely such a strategy will be deployed.
How many elected Democrats are categorically opposed to torture for any time under any circumstances and are willing to go on the record and say so publicly?
We expect this lunacy from the wingnut wargasm crowd, but with the acceptability of torture becoming mainstreamed, far too many Dems are equivocating. This too is cowardice; cowardice of the kind that has led to the long and sad historical record of democracies being undermined and destroyed from within.
