'Factor' Debate Over Coerced Interrogation (Rumsfeld Later Denies Lies of Colmes)
Fox News ^ | 05/03/2011 | Bill O'Reilly

Posted on 05/04/2011 8:42:42 AM PDT by Sneakyuser

During this heated discussion Alan Colmes says, and has been saying for years, that Enhanced Interregation Techniques (EIT) yield nothing. He also states that Donald Rumsfeld confirms this. An hour later on Hannity, Rumsfeld says that just is not true.

I'm sure O'Reilly will come back to this again on tonight's episode.

Colmes is the most reliably knee-jerk of all the liberal commentators. He musts have a wire from his knee that opens and closes his mouth.

Then again, who really cares what Colmes or Ted Baxter really thinks about anything.

My favorite part of the clip is when Colmes says “Not this is not ideology, I’m not being ideoligical!”

WTH cares what Alan Colmes thinks?

And why does BOR pay this clown for political “commentary”? He is a hack and offers no insight whatsoever.

BOR is a pinhead for using hacks as political commentators.

I thought that was pretty interesting and glad Bill stuck to his guns. I wouldn’t say Alan was lying, I don’t think he’s a liar, I think he’s like so many other liberals, in complete denial. Oh wait, denial is lying..ha, what’ya know.

Why FOX retains Colmes is hard to understand. He is one vile person constantly lying and using the typical liberal tactic of speaking at 600 words per minute so you cannot get a word in edgewise.

A left leaning opinion is one thing but to constantly spout lies so as to defend your position is so Saul Alinski (EDBUH eternal damnation be upon him)

Alan Colmes says, and has been saying for years, that Enhanced Interregation Techniques (EIT) yield nothing.

So because some hack Commie Pinko keeps saying the same lie, it must be true? BS. After Pete King exposed this, the lefts argument is now destroyed. Now Colmes is reduced to lying about Rummy's comments. That should really bolster his argument. I love that after Ted Baxter asked Rummy to come on his show to refute the claims, he goes on Hannity to do it. Screw you BOR you Obummer apologist.

What Rumsfeld had said was waterboarding didn’t happen at Gitmo.

And it didn’t.

It happened in foreign prisons.

I say waterboard em all.

Alan Colmes is a pretty good barometer of everything that is wrong with America. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the man say anything remotely correct.

Alan Colmes is always on with his sister in law Monica Crowley (Wife’s sister).

His wife is a real ditz who laughs at the end of every sentence. They make a great couple.

I’d love to have dinner with the bunch. I’d laugh my ass off.

Why FOX retains Colmes is hard to understand.

Why FOX retains O’Blowhard is hard to understand.

This has both video clips of first Colmes lying on O’Reilly and then Rumsfeld on Hannity refuting Colmes.

Colmes is to O’Reilly what Michael Knisley was to Pat Buchanan on the old Crossfire show—a non-threatening liberal who serves as a punching bag.

The same reason BOR, Hannity and Beck put the clown Sharpton on. I turn each and every one of them off when they give the likes of Sharpton valuable airtime.

One thing that I have never understood about that argument is that, if you have someone in custody, interrogate them, and they give you false information.... Isn’t the knowledge that you will come back and continue to torture them when their lies are found out enough to ensure you will get good intel? Might not work with everyone, but I would think the fear of being tirtured again would be enough.
