…of all the people NOT to die of cardiac failure when they should have…
He probably died years ago. The batteries just haven’t run down yet.
Agreed, I don’t want to hear apologists in later years claim, ‘well, he said he was sorry he made mistakes!’
Actually, it’d probably be more like, “He said he was sorry if anyone was offended, and that mistakes were made.”
This is a great example of PC language from the right. He’s wrong either way, since he’s most certainly torturing the English language.
His penis is nicknamed “The Truth.”
I can tell you what WAS an available option.
Not torturing anybody. Framing it as a choice between releasing people and torturing them seems to exclude a pretty substantial middle.
:dubious:
Um, could we not do this?
Why ever not?
He doesn’t want to see vermin and disease disparaged so.
Fuck him. I hope the cocksucker dies a painful death.
That’s super as long as you remember you’re wishing it upon a human. I even give “piece of shit” a pass since it’s probably said more about people than about actual pieces of shit. Dehumanizing people, well, is probably part of the thought process that helps torturers sleep at night.
I made my cousin eat a bug once. Outside of that, my conscience is pretty clear.
I don’t torture my pets, either, but I’m under no delusions they are human. The problem is not thinking someone isn’t human. It’s torturing people.
I am on record as saying it costs little to be sympathetic towards even the worse people. I can have sympathy for him. But I can also believe he is an inhuman piece of trash and that the world will only improve when he is no longer in it.
All youse guys bashing Cheney are going to feel pretty stupid when you find out who agrees with him:
You do have to wonder about cause and effect in times like this.
I’m not sure what this means. Bricker is a big fan of Karl Rove; let’s ask him what his views on the matter are.
I think identifying Cheney as “sick” and “scared” is humanizing, actually. He probably isn’t some horrible robot sociopath. He’s just a man whose amygdala is a little out of whack, giving him an overdeveloped sense of self-righteousness and causing him to do evil because he is fearful.
Moreover, it seems to me that the bigger threat when talking about individuals is not de-humanizing them but super-humanizing them. That’s what Cheney et al. did to KSM and the rest of these “worst of the worst” terrorists, painting them as masterminds when in fact they were a bunch of rubes from donkey college who happened to get lucky once (and, of course, some of whom were just innocent people ransomed to us by the Northern Alliance).
The starting point for all things Dick is always … “I had other priorities in the '60s than military service.”
Stayed classy, that fella.
