John Yoo on Daily Show is CHILLING |
|
This is one sicko motherfucker.
SICK.
He does, indeed, sound like some Third Reich insider. I know we're not supposed to say that, but damn. He's cold.

1. He Says That Obama's View On The Presidency Is The Same As His |
|
And people wonder why I say "We've lost - game over"

34. When you finish quoting Yoo, let us know what John Bolton says. No doubt that's equally true. |

3. Yeah like how he knows he is lying but is trying to make it sound like he isn't |
|
lying. Kind of reminds me of the guy before him with his terrorist attack numbers.

They insulated Bush. He's a measly coward and he didn't want to be prosecuted when Cheney's evil deeds were uncovered.

6. What's chilling is that his ideas on government are openly accepted |
|
Edited on Mon Jan-11-10 11:29 PM by Marr
by our political leaders, without any concern for the public response. They seem to assume the public is comprised of fat, lazy, impotent sheep.
Frankly, I think they may be right. The people in this country seem to have grown increasingly ignorant, increasingly apathetic, and increasingly desirous of a dictator who can just solve everything for them.

10. I wonder if he was tortured as a child |
|
For him to think this was normal and OK, he must have grown up with that idea instilled upon him somewhere.

24. Nah. He could simply be a functional sociopath. |
|
No need to put the blame on his parents or some traumatic event from his childhood; it's entirely possible that he became an evil, sadistic asshole by choice.

I don't see it, of course.

16. Stewart came up with some great questions. |
|
and Yoo had to do some tap dancing to avoid the obvious implications. All that lawyer-ese. And not one word from our "Dem" administration.

25. How is the Comedy channel's fake news program a failure if it makes a joke |
|
Stewart is an entertainer, first. It's not his job to break down creeps like Yoo.
Stewart trusts his audience to be smart, to see things for themselves. He's always played to the smart set of viewers. Yoo doesn't have to end the segment in tears in order for the average viewer to see him for what he is.

26. Did you miss your meds? |

You don't think Stewart "understood" what was at stake? Some of the toughest questions ever put to Yoo, in a very brief period of time, which will finally be seen by millions of people.
WTF was he supposed to do? Jump him and put him in cuffs, then call for the waterboarding team?
Holy shit.

31. Be sure to make the sign of the cross so he can see, next time. |

In Berkeley no less. Like a walking black hole. They should pass an ordinance. No Yoo in B.

Cuz he is and they are. Anyone who OKs the torture of another human being -- including children -- is a fascist or a psychopath.

40. I'm watching it online now. Jon Stewart is doing his usual well-prepared challenge... |
|
Jon Stewart is very, very good at what he does. And Jon is very, very angry at Yoo.
I'd like to say Yoo was pwned, but he is so slick and slippery and smooth that he appears to be coated with something. Wonder if it would be "torture" if someone tried to boil it off of him...
And UC Berkeley has him teaching the next generation of Constitutional lawyers? God help us all.
