Will Hannity Be Waterboarded??

Keith Olbermann Offers $1,000 a Second for Sean Hannity Waterboarding

MSNBC news commentator Keith Olbermann is taking on his Fox News counterpart Sean Hannity over the issue of waterboarding – in a rather extreme way. He blasted Hannity’s views on the issue and said he would donate $1,000 to charity for every second that Hannity is waterboarded.

Hannity, in an argument with actor Charles Grodin on Fox, defended waterboarding, calling it a means of “enhanced interrogation.”
When Grodin asked Hannity if he would consent to be waterboarded himself, the Fox anchor replied, "Sure. I'll do it for charity. I'll let you do it. I'll do it for the troops' families."
That wasn’t enough for Olbermann. "What a breakthrough it would be if, by having reality literally forced upon him, a buffoon like Hannity were to realize the deadly seriousness of this," Olbermann says.
"The searing truth: that the moment of torture automatically makes the presumed bad guy recipient the victim, and makes the torturer into the evildoer."
As for the charity offer, Olbermann says, "For every second you last, a thousand dollars - live or on tape, provided other networks' cameras are there.”
But he doesn’t stop there. “Oh, and I'll double it when you admit you feared for your life, when you admit the horrible truth - waterboarding, the symbol of the last administration, is torture," Olbermann says.
While Olbermann spills his invective, President Obama and Senate Democrats are pulling back.
The White House and Democratic leaders in the Senate say they will prevent the creation of an independent commission to examine the Bush administration’s authorization of harsh interrogation methods, according to The New York Times

I don't know why he wouldn't. Navy Seals, Green Berets, Rangers, etc. candidates are waterboarded frequently during training.

I would do it and ask for more just for that punk Olbermann. :mad:

Wonder if Olbermann will triple down on the bet if Hannity does it and doesn't fear for his life. Would Olbermann tell his views about the results or would he keep those 20 people in the dark. :wink:

He could care less about Hannity...he probably is hoping this stunt will double the number of his viewers and get it up to 30.

One's looking for a physical result, and one's looking for a psychological result.

I'd like to see Olberman prove his result with any factual data, to do that Hannity will have to be truthful and reveal how he is feeling emotionally and what he only knows.

Proving that waterboarding works, for the purpose it was used for.

Remember when so many of the lefties tried to downplay McCains treatment as a POW. Many said he wasn't even tortured. Now you have those same people being a hypocrite and claiming waterboarding is bad. What McCain endured was way worse than waterboarding. Hypocrites they are.

Maybe Hannity should counter with offering Olberman $1000/ minute for him to go through our enemies' methods - having his head cut off.

Don't use the big guns or should I say knives just pull Olbermann's finger nails out to start. :wink:
