FACEPALM: Republicans Had To Explain To GOP Colleagues WHY Torture Is Wrong.

[BrotherIvan]

23. Anyone who rushes to defend PBO over condemning torture thinks it is no big deal

I won't point out any specific DUers, but they are all over every thread discussing this topic. Anyone who asks, "What else could he do, his hands are tied!" is not concerned about torture. They are more concerned about shutting down criticism of the President.

After letting the reality of what we are speaking about sink in, please tell me what is more important:

A) "Arguing all over threads that "Obama grew up in the Midwest and 'folks' is just a colloquialism."

OR

B) Making sure you let your elected officials and the world know that there is no excuse--none--for torture and that you will hold them accountable to make sure it never happens again?

If you put all your energy into defending Obama, you just derail discussion. We should be discussing how we can make our voices heard. We should be uniting as Democrats, as we did when Bush was committing these atrocities. Instead, Democrats are showing themselves to be just as hypocritical as Republicans.
