Will Sean Hannity go through with his commitment to be waterboarded for charity?

[Hooksta]

Just two weeks ago Sean Hannity said in a discussion/debate with Charles Grogin that he would be willingly waterboarded for charity. What are your thoughts? Think he'll do it?

Hannity Offers To Be Waterboarded For Charity (By Charles Grodin!)

I highly doubt it. Keith Olbermann offered $1,000 to charity for every second Hannity can withstand it. As far as I know, Hannity has not responded or taken any steps to make this happen. Though I haven't really checked so correct me if I'm wrong.

I doubt it very much.

Being waterboarded once? I'm sure most people could do it once.

How about Hannity gets waterboarded, then yelled at by Olbermann. Then recessitated, yelled at some more and waterboarded again. Repeat until Hannity offers to do Obama's laundry for a month. If he did that for a full 3 minute session then I'd say it's worth it.

Christopher Hitchens went through waterboarding but I understand he only did it once.

Personally, I think it's kinda lame that a newsperson would use torture as a publicity stunt. I mean, no one is volunteering to be crucified, put in an iron maiden, or having their fingernails pulled.

I guess it's OK to wish waterboarding for non-violent Americans but not for people who literally cook Christian babies to death in an oven and "serve" them to their parents on their doorstep.

The difference is that nobody is advocating using crucifixion, iron maidens, or pulling out fingernails as enhanced interrogation techniques. By claiming he'll undergo waterboarding, he's trying to convince his viewers that waterboarding really isn't that bad. It's a publicity stunt, but I think it's an appropriate one. If he wants to convince us that it's not harmful, do it.

Just another case of inverted liberal morality.

Nobody is wishing waterboarding on Hannity. He's volunteering to do it. If he really thinks it's not harmful, he should do it.

As for your second part:

Did you actually read the article at the huffington post? The writer is giving credit to Hannity for offering to be waterboarded for charity. What does your totally unrelated drivel have to do with anything remotely on topic?

I give kudos to Hannity if he is willing to be waterboarded for charity. I wouldn't mind if he also accepted the battery to leads to testicles harsh interrogation technique. I'd even pay to see that!

It doesn't matter. If you really thought it was so bad you wouldn't wish it on someone.

We're not wising it on him. I don't spend my days thinking, "Gosh, I hope somebody grabs Sean Hannity and waterboards him against his will." I don't wish waterboarding on anybody. If he voluntarily goes through with it, I do not object. I don't object to anyone doing something voluntarily even if we think it is harmful to them. I do object to forcing something harmful onto another person against their will.

Yeah there's a word for that kind of ideology that has no problem with death and destruction so long as it's "consented to": wicked.

You see the problem with that is when a man willfully hurts oneself usually they are so mentally ill and deranged as to not realize that they are doing harm to themselves.

We are in agreement that Hannity is mentally ill and deranged

I think it's highly unlikely, but Olbermann's offer is still on the table and the same arrogance that led Hannity to make that kind of boast just might drive him to go through with it.

I thought waterboarding wasn't even light torture but merely another interrogation technique, why are you equating it with "death and destruction" all of a sudden?

Umm i'm not I mean stuff like people cutting themselves and whatnot.

Believe it or not there is much opportunity to be had if Sean goes through with HIS COMMITMENT and BOAST. One he could raise a lot more money for military families than the $1,000 per second Olbermann is offfering. And two once Hannity realizes he can't last 35 seconds through the process he may just tell his "flock" that he was wrong and make a MAJOR contribution to this nation.

This is win/win all around. Seriously if a professional does the waterboarding he will be in a worl of hurt. Check out Christopher Hitchens doing it on YouTube. Even I was surprised how quick it was over. He looked scared to death!...and comments as much afterwards.

I saw the Hitchens video. He was terrified but otherwise unharmed.
Isn't scaring terrorists the idea?

Not for Sean...he thinks waterboarding is a piece of cake...simply "enhanced interogation." Much of the rest of the world believe its torture and a large number of Americans don't want the U.S. to be viewed as a nation that tortures.

Are you reading the article or watching the video clip???

EDIT: Regarding Hitchens...no Hitchens was willing to go through with it to see if it was "torture." I suspect he thought it was bad, but that he would live because he was in a controlled environment. But I believe he was surprised even more than he anticipated. Thus he was scared to death and now a big advocate against it. The difference here is Christopher Hitchens is pretty much a liberal and most liberals are against torture. Sean is a Ultra-Conservative Republican...it would be good for our country if he could learn what Christopher Hitchens did while raising money for charity and then become a conservative voice against torture. I suspect Sean's massive EGO will keep him from doing what would otherwise be a great cause.

But that's not the case here, no? I mean, haven't you people been telling us how waterboarding isn't torture and leaves no permanent damage for months now?

How does water boarding people caught in Iraq supposed to scare terrorists?
