In reply to the discussion: I am noticing a lot of full-blown denial over Obama calling torturers "patriots" on DU. [View all]NanceGreggs

If, as you believe, Obama thinks that torturers are "patriots", surely he must have made other statements that reflect that position. Or maybe just one or two, here and there.
But there aren't any, are there?
According to the version of events you believe, Obama - despite his consistent stance on torture and its use - stood up and told the world that torturers are "patriots". Just like that, out of the blue - he decided for one moment in time to completely go against all of his statements, before and since, and just say, "oh, and by the way, torturers are patriots."
And then the sneaky bastard stated it in such a way that only 'certain people' would get his real meaning - wink, wink, nudge, nudge, and all that.
Yes, that makes perrrrffffect sense. Really.
