Fux Noise host apologizes for letting torture-defending guest smear McCain

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The host of a Fox Business New segment, where a retired Air Force officer defended torture by smearing former POW Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), has apologized for not cutting his guest off.

Appearing on the program Thursday morning, Fox military analyst Thomas McInerney launched a horrific attack on the Arizona senator — who is currently battling cancer — in an effort to defend so-called “enhanced interrogations.”


“The fact is, is John McCain — it worked on John,” McInerney suggested. “That’s why they call him ‘Songbird John.’ The fact is those methods can work, and they are effective, as former Vice President Cheney said. And if we have to use them to save a million American lives, we will do whatever we have to.”

According to host Charles Payne, he missed the comments and instructions from his producers to end the segment.

1. Didn't McCain give the names of players on a baseball team or something like that?

He didn't give any relevant info if I remember correctly. So no, it didn't work.

7. The story goes he was tortured to give up the names

Of his superiors or fellow pilots

The names he gave were the offensive line of the Green Bay Packers

Which team year I don't know. Probably one of the Super Bowl teams

2. So We're Back In The Torture Quicksand Again.

disgraceful

3. Trump supporters are

burning down anyone who opposes their King. McCain wants his legacy to reflect a positive image about his career and we all know he was on the other side of a few ugly moments in History.

4. More about that guy

Link to tweet

"If you're just getting to know LTG (ret) Tom McInerney from his McCain torture comments, here's a thing about when he made a court filing defending a soldier who refused to deploy until Obama proved he was born in Hawaii"

5. Huh

The same old "million lives" scenario. Next up the "clock metaphor/tactic".
It's reprehensible what that guy said about McCain. A very small small percentage of American Servicemen were POWs, and I think it'd be their domain singularly to say what it's like to be tortured, and how McInerney would've held up under similar circumstances. I salute the man, and his families years of military service. I wasn't a proponent of the Vietnam War, but, those who did served honorably.
Mr mccain says he's terminal. I'm pretty sure Jesus Christ wouldn't have been lecturing him in his final days, or justifying torture in his name either. How low is too low for the rw? dt has reduced this country to a bunch of loudmouth under achievers, where the only requirement for shouting out something is, if the statement is mean and ignorant, and misinformed.

6. I'd like someone to point out to FuxNoise and McInerney and that mofo dick Cheney that

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times in one month. If torture is So Effective, why did they have to do it so many times? What did him give them on the 183rd try that he didn't on the 182nd? Answer: fuck all. In fact I don't think he gave them anything, ever, on future attacks, which is what they were asking.
