With the dims it is all about word manipulation- they are trying to characterize interrogation techniques as torture. There is a huge difference and they are deliberately trying to cloud the issue by calling legal interrogation torture. The media is more than happy to help them accomplish this.

We see this word play used in other issues- Illegal immigration for example. Illegal immigration is clouded by politicians of both parties and the media with legal immigration and there is no relationship between the two. It is like equating the person that robbed the bank with the person that went into the bank to cash a check.

Somehow we must stand up to the dims when they play games with words and not fall into their traps. They began this years ago by calling abortion a choice- they are not pro-abortion, they are pro-choice. Hah! It has been very effective for them to do this and we need to point out their word manipulation whenever we can so the not so bright public doesn't get sucked into their agenda.

How could she be so dumb to stir up this issue when she is the guilty party? It just shows that she expected the unconditional support of the MSM, not to mention her own party.

The idiots in the media should be forced into an investigation about how many lies, half truths, spins and manipulations THEY perpetuate. If that happened and they responded in any way - I’d show you tortured.
