Partial Birth Waterboarding
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/09/2007 5:18:25 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Liberals wouldn't lift a finger to stop the torturing -- to the point of destroying -- unborn human life. But put a terrorist [or a baby seal, for that matter] in the block and watch them spring into sensitive-soul mode.

Rosa Brooks epitomizes the mindset in her current LA Times column, "Torture: the new abortion." Her notion is that among Republicans, the new litmus test for presidential candidates is not opposition to abortion but support for U.S. officials who order the "torture of prisoners."

If only liberals would protect the unborn like they do terrorists. Ping to Today show list.

" I'll call water boarding "torture" if she'll say the same about partial birth abortion."

Bingo...

So called torture has been defined down to the point that slapping someone in the face who would surley cut your head off if he had a weapon is forbidden....but pulling a completely innocent child limb from limb in the womb is OK???

LOL, you get right to the point huh.

I cracked up when I read that one, and it’s so called for.

Yep, the left may have a post in their eye, but they’re sure capable of seeing the individual atom in someone else’s.

I liked the analogy here. Waterbording of terrorists bad, causes undue pain. Abortion okay, who cares...

Only in what passes for the mind of a leftist.

Well, we all sit around and watch that big fat freak who caused Mary Jo to give her life for her country by keeping that screaming hypocrite out of the Whitehouse and we feel like smacking his smug mug with a jug of canal water in which she was way more than waterboarded into an early watery grave!!!

There! Was that a little more round-a-bout way of saying that disdain and contempt combined with the bilious flavor of nausea welling up in my throat whenever forced to consider the stain that Massachewsetts has forced on the American scene by returning this puke to the Senate all these years is obscene??? (how's that for a long question?)

Oh! And I meant to tell you, before I got so verbous, that I think you tagline is quite clever and brilliant, as well!!!

There are two things that have stuck in my craw since I was a kid. One was Ted’s neck brace fraud, associated with Mary Joe and obviously her death, and the other was Jane Fonda.

Of course there are a few others, but these two take the cake.

Thanks for the much appreciated tag line comments.

Take care.

This is an interesting argument.

What is the ratio of partial birth abortions (which not only cause pain, but death) to waterboarding?
