Planet Wingnut News for Monday


Rush Limbaugh supports torture by attacking McCain for being "broken" by it
The very sick and twisted Rush Limbaugh continues on his path to hell as
his lunacy knows no limits:
LIMBAUGH: The idea that torture doesn’t work– that’s been put out from John McCain on down– You know, for the longest time McCain said torture doesn’t work then he admitted in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention last summer that he was broken by North Vietnamese. So what are we to think here?

Donaldson To Will: Teabaggers Aren't Mad About Taxes, They Just Don't Like Obama
Sam Donaldson really smacks down the ever-unctuous (and historically inaccurate) George Will on This Week's roundtable discussion about the teabaggers:
WILL: What this was about, as was the original Boston Tea Party - which was barely about taxes but about Parliament's role in their lives, was a view that we're now in something called the "third wave" of government. You had the expansion of the New Deal, you had the expansion of the Great Society to complete the New Deal, what those people who rallied there were saying this is something different, this third wave is to erase the distinction between the public and private sectors, and that frightens them.
DONALDSON: Oh, they weren't saying that, George. What they were saying is, we don't like Obama. And this is a proxy way to say that. Because it's true, he's going to lower taxes on 95% of the American public, and the rest are going to have higher taxes. You were quite correct, it's not about the level of taxes. Those rallies were mainly, it seems to me, organized to say, "We don't like Obama" across the board.

Rats turning on Rats. Now Rush better be careful going overseas as he might find out first hand what waterboarding is like. Just think all that fat going under water and no drugs. As the World watches and reads they know exactly who supports the Bush/Cheney Torture Policy.
