Why is Bill O'Reilly, a man who consistently makes up his own facts, a man who has created his own strawman army to defend his ridiculous ideas, still on TV?
Earlier this week, the Bush administration admitted that it has waterboarded at least three al Qaeda detainees since 9/11. Yesterday, CIA Director Michael Hayden added that the tactic may currently be illegal.
On Fox News’ O’Reilly Factor yesterday, Bill O’Reilly gave a full-throated defense of the torture tactic, claiming that the “far left went wild” after the revelations. The left “literally went crazy,” he said. O’Reilly continued his pro-torture rant:
Why are they so insane about this? It’s not fatal. It doesn’t leave a lasting physical injury. Why are they so crazy? … I think the President has to have the authority…in extraordinary circumstances, as these three were. And the far left is putting us all in danger.
It causes severe physical suffering in the form of reflexive choking, gagging, and the feeling of suffocation. It may cause severe pain in some cases. If uninterrupted, waterboarding will cause death by suffocation.
It's fucking drowning, you dumbshit, and anyone who takes a minute to think about how fucked up that is would never defend it. I couldn't give a fat fuck if it's done by professionals; so are executions in capital punishment and those don't always go well, do they?
Bill O'Reilly is a subhuman piece of shit and if saying that makes me crazy, fit me now for my white jacket. I'm never, ever going to get on board with something that has a history of being used since the days of fucking Torquemada or something that the Khmer Rouge thought was a swell idea. Far left, my ass. The only thing that is far left here is Bill O'Reilly's place on the evolution scale.

No offense meant to apes.
