Conservative thinks he can withstand waterboarding. He lasts 6 seconds.

Erich "Mancow" Muller, a Chicago-based conservative radio host, recently decided to silence critics of waterboarding once and for all. He would undergo the procedure himself, and then he would be able to confidently convince others that it is not, in fact, torture.

Or so he thought. Instead, Muller came out convinced.

"It is way worse than I thought it would be, and that's no joke," Mancow said. "It is such an odd feeling to have water poured down your nose with your head back... It was instantaneous... and I don't want to say this: absolutely torture."

"I wanted to prove it wasn't torture," Mancow said. "They cut off our heads, we put water on their face... I got voted to do this but I really thought 'I'm going to laugh this off.' "

He at least gets credit for doing this, something his colleagues have not done despite claiming it is not torture. Hannity claimed he could take it, but has yet followed through on repeated attempts to get him to prove himself.

[Mael]

Well at least he tried and learned his lesson...and learning is half the battle.

[Jagon Fox]

i agree with both of you. i don't even think last six seconds

[RAGING BONER]

what a little bitch! :lmao

lol conservatives...real good at dishing it out, receiving their own medicine? not so much.

[Tsukiyomi]

Yeah I saw this a little while back and I have to say I at least respect him for going through with it and giving an honest opinion after that. He flat out says he doesn't want to but has no choice but to admit its torture.

[Seto Kaiba]

Respect that he actually went through with that, even moreso for admitting it was torture.

Now if only Hannity would finally go on national television and do the same thing...I wonder how long Limbaugh would last?

[Chee]

Brave man for both doing this and admitting it was indeed torture.

[Oldy]

There is nothing brave about doing something you think is a joke and giving up immediately when you realize it's not.
This guy just proved he was an idiot, I don't understand how one can think waterboarding is a joke and yet force people to talk at the same time.

He admitted that he was wrong. That takes balls IMO.

A lot of people have a hard time admitting they're wrong on issues they had a lot involvement in.

[dreams lie]

Lol, more like four seconds.

[Jeαnne]

damn i think that i wouldnt last 2 seconds D:

[saprobe]

Mancow is a major douche but at least he had the balls to try it himself. Still, just because some pussy shock jock can't take it doesn't prove it's torture.

I like the video of Rick Sanchez getting tased, too. :D

[Red]

Like other people have said it was sensible of him to try and experience it first hand and then talk about it from experience and maybe now other conservatives will listen to one of their own on the topic.

[Kira U. Masaki]

well im not against torture so what do i care :zaru

[dreams lie]

Still, just because some pussy shock jock can't take it doesn't prove it's torture.

True, but it is more fun to laugh at the said pussy than to actually debate rather or not it is torture.

[Plot Hole]

One word owned. :edu

[superattackpea]

I'm really not all that against it. But my question is why would anyone even bother doing it to prisoners if it wasn't torture.

[Seto Kaiba]

Mancow...what a weird name...

[saprobe]

True, but it is more fun to laugh at the said pussy than to actually debate rather or not it is torture.

You're absolutely right. It IS more fun

Hey, Mancow:

[Inuhanyou]

Keith olbermann challenged sean hannity to get himself waterboarded to see how it was torture..i guess he definately won't be doing that now :lmao

[Megatonton]

Now can we get Hannity? :pek

[Red Viking]

what a little bitch! :lmao

lol conservatives...real good at dishing it out, receiving their own medicine? not so much.

To be fair, he recanted his previous statement and admitted he was wrong. That takes balls.

[Yammy]

Yeah balls for admitting it's torture now.

[Tsukiyomi]

Keith olbermann challenged sean hannity to get himself waterboarded to see how it was torture..i guess he definately won't be doing that now :lmao

Yeah, he offered to donate $1,000 dollars to the families of US troops for every second that Hannity endured it.

[VastoLorDae]

lol self ownage. But he maned up. so meh

Better than staying an idiot ... admitting you were wrong separates you from the other lesser human beings.

It was brave because he is in the business of disseminating ideas, and to admit he's wrong is a big deal.

Plus I think its good he actually knows how serious it is. I think thats the problem with a lot of the waterboarding advocates is they don't actually have any idea what its really like.

[Kenneth]

That man is worthy is respect for doing this. I don't even want to know what the fuck it feels like to be tortured like that.

[Cirus]

It takes balls to change a persons mind like that on open air. Though I myself do admit it is a minnor form of torture, but at 6 seconds that guy is a wimp. I have known people who have went through training which included them to go through that and they said it is just a matter of controling your breathing and it was horendous (but they all lasted longer then 6 seconds).

[Kira U. Masaki]

wait a minute thats mancow, this idiot comes on the radio in here in Texas

[Wesley]

It's like drinking through your nose? That'd be a great skill to have at parties.

wait a minute thats mancow, this idiot comes on the radio in here in Texas

I thought that guy was taken off the air for shooting an employee?

[Razgriez]

Just proves it works.

Hes also a pussy since the terror suspects probably were under for far longer before they cracked.

[impersonal]

Am I the only one who, after seeing the video, desperately wants to try it ?


Just proves it works.
It proves it works when it comes to making people upset; so do dismemberment, eye gouging and other forms of torture; whether or not it works in making people cooperate and in making the USA look like a civilized country is another problem altogether.

[Watchman]

I can't help but crack up at the deadpan delivery of "We're gonna do this on 5, okay? 1... 2... I lied." :lmao

[1mmortal 1tachi]

That's nothing. I accidentally do that to myself, everyday, taking a shower. :awesome

[Amaretti]

If Christopher Hitchens can't stomach it, neither can you.

[1mmortal 1tachi]

Uh, I'm not claiming to have a mutant anatomy or physiology which allows me to easily endure things such as waterboarding with zestfully clean, ease.

Merely that I accidentally do that to myself a lot of the time, taking a shower.

Worse than that, though. Coughing and choking is often involved..

[Aokiji]

Honestly this is surprising. Most people can hold their breath for more thant 6 seconds.

Also, he's right about the part with waterboarding being soft stuff compared to what other coutries pull off. But lesser torture is still torture.

If I was talking to you, I would have quoted you. :zaru

[Pilaf]

Me and my friends do this to each other after work sometime. I'm up to nearly 30 seconds right now. My goal is over a minute.

[Megaharrison]

In Shin Bet and Aman (IDF Military Intel.) training they have all the new interrogation agents get waterboarded for 3 minutes so they know how brutal it really is (if you can't, you fail the training). This kind of thing makes you respect the technique a bit more at least.

Also since me and my friends have nothing better to do we decided to try this out on the one who'll volunteer for anything. He lasted .5 seconds :zaru

[Horrid Crow]

Since I don't know any backstory... why the F does this matter and why did he do it?

[lucky]

Well at least he tried and learned his lesson...and learning is half the battle.

G.I JOE! american herooooo

[Enclave]

G.I JOE! american herooooo

Porkchop sandwiches!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLnWlLTqu4Y

Course, I always preferred this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=espbVagX3rs

Just the porkchop sandwiches is generally the more well known one :P

[Superrazien]

Screw waterboarding, a more effective way would just be to get a little kid tapping you on the shoulder asking you what they want to know until they answer.

[DeterminedIdiot]

he gets credit in my book

[◦MuffiN◦]

What a retard. :noworry

[saprobe]

Me and my friends do this to each other after work sometime. I'm up to nearly 30 seconds right now. My goal is over a minute.

What you and your friends do is called water sports, not water boarding. :rotfl

[Peak]

What the fuck. :lmao

"It was way worse than I thought it would be."

No shit. :lmao

[I]

If you went to small 3rd world countries, people like him are getting killed.

[ZeroBlack]

I respect this man for taking it and realizing the true fact that it IS torture.
Now I have a small but growing list of people that think it's not and should try it:
Sean Hannity
Dick Cheney
Rush Limbaugh
.....





more 2 come!

[1mmortal 1tachi]

Oh. Pwned.

Honestly this is surprising. Most people can hold their breath for more thant 6 seconds.

It has nothing to do with being able to your your breath. I can hold my breath 2-3 minutes--but it doesn't matter. Waterboarding is more like being upside down underwater in a swimming pool without holding your nose. No matter what the air escapes out of your nose and is replaced by water. You can't breath and begin to drown. That's why they say it 'simulates drowning'. If you're not drowning, you're not doing it properly.

:zaru

[horsdhaleine]

Good lesson for him :zaru

[Red Viking]

Honestly this is surprising. Most people can hold their breath for more thant 6 seconds.

He did state that he drowned as a child and being waterboarded invoked a similar feeling. Maybe he had a traumatic flashback?

u have compensation issues bra.

[T7 Bateman]

At least he was honest about how bad it was.

[Jin-E]

Well, what else could he have said?

"Laying still 6 seconds bored me so much that i decided to just get back up, i could have lasted way longer than that if necessary"

[-Dargor-]

Its well known cow-people can't handle holding their breath :LOS

[Blaze of Glory]

Maybe we should do that to all conservatives who thinks waterboarding isn't shit :zaru

[Diceman]

It's a great way to lose weight.New age hippies!Go ahead:gar

[The Comedian]

It's torture. No fucking shit.

I bet it's still necessary in order to get information tho.

[Xion]

I could last longer than that pansy. :lmao

Yeah no shit it feels like drowning. I tried it myself, albeit customized in the shower, and it sucked...I imagine it is much worse in this situation though with incline, more water, and cold water as well. :wth

[Blaze of Glory]

It's torture. No fucking shit.

I bet it's still necessary in order to get information tho.

Right, right so if they don't give the information and die do you think that it was alright? :zaru

[The Comedian]

Right, right so if they don't give the information and die do you think that it was alright? :zaru

No. But in reality, it probably happens to a few people everyday.

I LOL'ed when I heard "THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT. TORTURE. :argh" of course we do.

[dreams lie]

I could last longer than that pansy. :lmao

Yeah no shit it feels like drowning. I tried it myself, albeit customized in the shower, and it sucked...I imagine it is much worse in this situation though with incline, more water, and cold water as well. :wth

How exactly did you pull this off? :lmao

[Thelonious]

I love when idiots put their own foot in their mouth.

[Bear Walken]

It has not been a good week for the conservative loud mouths.

Jesse Ventura gave Hannity a run for his money on his own show.

PeMuDN9Ewyc

Glenn Beck falls all over himself on the View when called up on a lie.

W2FK2vchoEo

Then the next day on his radio show, after finding a pair. He all the sudden talks with a backbone.

e1lnXGIqQWI

[Lezard Valeth]

what's wrong with practicing torture?

[/sarcasm]

[-Dargor-]

PeMuDN9Ewyc

Hannity is such an idiot :facepalm

[Gecka]

i would last longer:hmpf

[Biolink]

Average time by trained CIA agents, was 12 seconds I believe, so yeah... Bullocks on waterboarding NOT being torture

[saprobe]

Well, what else could he have said?

"Laying still 6 seconds bored me so much that i decided to just get back up, i could have lasted way longer than that if necessary"

"When I'd been lying there for 6 seconds I suddenly remember that I'd left my oven on..."

[Blaze of Glory]

Now it's your turn Hannity :kukuku :kukuku

[Xion]

How exactly did you pull this off? :lmao

All you do is put a cloth over your entire face and let the water pour down on it while you try to breathe and as the cloth gets soaked. Yeah it's not the same thing, but the feeling is pretty shitty, though probably more decent than the real thing.

[Spencer_Gator]

well, I don't mind us torturing people who want to kill us

[Mider T]

I used to waterboard myself without knowing what it was as a kid, for some reason I got pleasure from being that close to death. After awhile I got used to it.

[FreshBaked]

well, I don't mind us torturing people who want to kill us

Which makes us so much better than the enemy. :zaru

[Tsukiyomi]

well, I don't mind us torturing people who want to kill us

I always hear people saying stuff like that, but we don't ever have any kind of trial so how exactly can you be sure these people are terrorists and want to kill us?

A lot of these people are being tortured just to find out if they have information.

[zabuza666]

What a girl. Jesus

[Jim]

ITT: people who don't give a shit about the US torturing people pretending that they think it's wrong:zaru

[KFC]

Well, in all honesty, I must say that this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. At least he realized that it was torture, and wasn't making excuses or something dumb like that.

[dummy plug]

i wont do that to myself :S

[Lain]

I guess he gets more respect from me than a person who claims that waterboarding isn't so bad, but has no idea what it's really like.

[Takagou]

He makes me ashamed to be from Chicago =(!

[Tokoyami]

I don't know whether to respect him somewhat or to think he's complete fuckwit.

[Sunuvmann]

^ A fuckwit who you can respect for learning and accepting the errors in his ways? :zaru

[Tenacious Lee]

lolconservatives

[Tokoyami]

^ A fuckwit who you can respect for learning and accepting the errors in his ways? :zaruCurse you and your mysterious logic.

Clearly this is a plant by one of them hippie darwinist liberal gay-mafia terrorist sympathizers.
