HEY, NALLDS! Conservatives think Torture no big deal!

[mburbank]

"This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones innitiation, and we're going to ruin people's lives over it and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are really going to hammer them becuase they had a good time. You know, these peopl are being shot at every day. I'm talking about people having a good time. These people, you ever heard of emotional release? You heard of a need to blow off some steam?"
-Rush Limbaugh

Okay,
1.) I'm only guessing here, but I don't think people get raped or murdered during a skull and bones initiation. Sodomized, maybe, but then I think skull and bones is pretty gay and violent.
2.) I dont think for an instant that tis bizarre view point is shared by anyone even remotely human, let alone most conservatives. I wouldn't even call on conservatives to dustance temselves from the Old Rusher here, as I think views like this only serve to place him in the lunatic fringe right where he belongs. Anyone who see this kind of stuff as a 'good time' has more problems than an a tendency toward addiction.
3.) See what I'm saying here? The world is nuanced enough for this to be the opinion of a conservative who happens to be a huge scumbag. That says nothing about the 'vast majority' of conservatives. Behavior like this (and mocking Pat Tillman's death) is the behavior of reprehensible individuals. What political stripe the identify themselves with is immaterial. It's not a political position. It's a cry for help.
