Jesse Ventura takes Elizabeth Hasselbeck apart on torture:
The clip is from Monday's show and I've been looking for a transcript, but no dice.
I do have these quotes:
“If waterboarding is OK, why don't we let our police do it to suspects so they can learn what they know?”
“If waterboarding is OK, why didn't we waterboard McVeigh and Nichols, the Oklahoma City bombers, to find out if there were more people involved?"
"We only seem to waterboard Muslims... Have we waterboarded anyone else? Name me someone else who has been waterboarded.”
“I’m ashamed of my country.”
“They want Pelosi out because she lied? Why didn’t they ask for Bush and Cheney to go out when they lied about Iraq?”
“I would prosecute the people who did it; I would prosecute the people who ordered it, and they would all go to jail.”
“Look how outraged we were when waterboarding was done to our vets in Vietnam. Where do you think we learned it from?”
"Guantanimo Bay is our Hanoi Hilton."
“You give me a waterboard, one hour and Dick Cheney and I’ll have him confessing to the Sharon Tate murders.”
BONUS:
Ventura amplifies on decriminalizing marijuana while on the Geraldo (Rivera) at Large Show.
Extra, extra:
Got the Youtube:
"I am personally offended greatly that my country tortures."
More Extra:
As discussed in the comments, Ventura was not immunized by his service from chickenhawk criticism. I found the clip of Joe Scarborough calling Ventura an idiot for speaking the truth on The View. It is posted here, Joe Scarborough is a Torture Apologist.
Gratuitous Nudity:
Searching the internet for Ventura, Hasselbeck and nudity didn't turn up anything for the principals, but strangely enough these photos were in the results:

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is an idiot and it's never been more apparent than in this interview.
The crap she spews about the Somali pirates epitomizes THE STUPID.
i'm just here for the gratuitous nudity. and i'm stalking natalie.
Is that Nancy Pelosi sitting on top of Gov. Schwarzenegger's broad, steroid-enhanced shoulders?

2 thoughts; hasselbeck is the most retarded bitch i've seen in my life, and jesse ventura rocks.
We the people are only smart in small doses.
Our spectrum of smart is as small as our spectrum of sight/light.

Not sure who is sitting on Arnold, but at least she looks healthy and has real boobs.
The thing about Hasselbeck and THE STUPID is about a third of America thinks she is right.

I visit bashful sex and Grumpy Nudity sites.
That may be Nancy Peloonli on Hairy Ride?
Nudity get me swooning like the romantics.

Grumpy nudity? For some reason the seven dwarfs stripping off doesn't sound terribly appealing.
Why can't sanity, common sense, decency and wrestlers prevail?
Thank you for showing this. I missed it. It was the best retorts to EH I have ever seen and the best comments against torture I have seen. She and her ilk were exposed and the women didn't have to say a thing to support him. He should be our main spokesperson. She is a little Nazi-type lass and there is nothing anyone can do except expose her and her ilk exactly as he did.
He is equally profound in the Geraldo clip on marijuana. I wonder what he thinks about single payer universal health care? Draft Ventura in 2012?
Ventura makes perfect sense and Hasselbeck is an idiot. How she can compare detainees to armed pirate holding a hostage is beyond ridiculous. How do you get through to someone like that?
It proves the theory that you can't fix stupid.

Difficult to stomach EH first thing in the morning. Ventura was well spoken, clear and concise. The only thing I have to say about EH is that it has been my experience when someone has such a narrow viewpoint, appears so self-righteous and convinced of their black and white beliefs, there's a major humbling on the horizon. I don't know what that will look like for her, but it will happen. It seems to be the nature of life. Unfortunately in the meantime, she fuels the fires of those like her. I find her despicable. Rated. Oh yeah, was just at my mother in law's and she has that picture of Lance on one of her walls. It's awesome.
I love this. Let's see Fox News try to convince their viewers that Jesse Ventura is a terrorist-loving far-left coward.
I especially like his line about only waterboarding Muslims in context with the bible verses Rumsfeld used as cover sheets for his intel briefings. We are on a crusade and Ventura drives that home. More veterans like him need to be given the opportunity to speak out.
Hard for chicken hawks to stand against them although I just watched Joe of MSNBC's Morning Joe say Ventura is stupid and doesn't know what he is talking about. Direct quote - "It should be a crime to be that stupid and be on TV."
It is like the torture apologists live in an alternate reality.
Joe Scarborough is scum.

Damn I wish you people would put NSFW in your titles. :-D
I hope the network nannies don't browse today's logs.
Now, off to watch the video. You've been a busy little skull, haven't you? I still have something like a week's worth of Digg shouts from you to get to.
Thumbed, monkey fingered, saluted.

Great stuff BBE. Ventura doesn't hold his tongue on anything. That's why he was one of my favorite wrestlers. He always talked Smack To McMahon.
My favorite quote:
"Enhanced interrogation techniques? That's Dick Cheney changing a word."
"Enhanced interrogation techniques? That's Dick Cheney changing a word."
The police analogy was priceless!
"Torture is torture." vs. "No means no."
I wonder how Hasselbeck would compare those two? I guess rape is ok.

Grabbing my shovel and getting ready to DIGG this and say I Reddit. Now, if I could only bury EH and shut her up.
I say welcome back, Jesse, the View is always worth watching, I don't have to say anything about Elizabeth H. except she seems to fill the Miss South Carolina/Miss California dumb blond role required by the round table discussion groups these days, and, oh, the nude pictures with coffee and a bagel started my morning perfectly. Don't you just LOVE the Internet?
Just shaking my head . . . trying to eliminate EH and substitute the gratuitous nudity.
I wanted to watch that show but that chick just bugs the shit out of me.. I'm sorry I missed it. What an idiot.
Ventura at least is an entertainer/politician who doesn't tolerate BS. I think his statement that if he was president they'd all be in the dock is one I like best. And Hasselbeck comes back with a Somali pirate retort? Really? Hasselbeck is profoundly repugnant in addition to being profoundly stupid.
I am now getting why he was elected in the first place. He has a directness that normal politicians have lost long ago.
He spanked her! (or should have)

EH epitomizes the stereotype of the dumb blonde. JV got elected originally because he was refreshingly candid. I especially love his give me an hour and Cheney and a waterboard and... I predict that he actually would only need 15 minutes with brave, brave Dick. He'd confess to anything, stealing the Peking Man skeleton, global warming...
Be on a reality show, get a gig as a talk show host. The girl is dumb as dirt. But Ventura did disappoint last night when he was interviewed by hannity. No mentioning of waterboarding occurred. ---rated--
I love to watch Whoopi take EH apart, but kudos to Ventura. He took her apart and stomped on the pieces. She's got to be the epitome of stupid.
That woman is one of the most annoying things to emerge in recent years. ...I tried to comment more, but I got all fingertied with rage...but I dugg it. Good post bbe.
Thanks BBE
EH - A reason not to watch shows like The View
Jesse - A real straight shooter
Gratuitous Nudity - Sex sells (ask any advertiser)

Jesse Ventura is popular because, basically, he IS Joe Six Pack. He has been waterboarded and can speak on that issue with some authority. Many people agree that there should be some arrests and prosecutions on the torture situation. Attempting to justify torture puts one on the loser side of the argument.
BBE, damn Ventura is just saying it like it is. About time some body just said this stuff.
" we only torture Moslems". Yep.
" we only torture Moslems". Yep.
I think I'm going to name my first born Jesse V.
Now I have a link to send to all pro-torture a-holes.
it's frightening and wrong if it happened the way you say/show it did
had rated earlier. no way one can do it twice here but this one deserves a second click
Dare I say it? I love Jesse Ventura. Too bad it's not just Hasselbeck spewing such idiocy...
This video clip is getting a lot of play and hopefully it will reach people who respond to common sense and help change some minds.
The right wing machine is trying to marginalize Ventura and one of their mouthpieces, Joe Scarborough, went after him this morning on his show so hopefully that means Ventura is having impact, Good for him and for us.

they make me vomit. the republicans never answer the question, ever. they always always always just say, "yeah? but what about x?"
course, we see more and more of that among the liberals these days, too. soon, no one will be able to think for themselves.

Thanks for posting this brilliant segment. I now love JV, too. I enjoyed the gratuitous nudity.
BBE - you are the bomb ! I saw this AND the segment on FOX's Hannity Show. He rips Hannity a new ass like no one ever has. It's awesome!
Oh yeah - Hasslebeck is a brainwashed nutcase/c*nt and the guy on the bicycle rocks. Thanks for the partial nudity. Boobs are cool, too.

The guy on the bike is Lance Armstrong. I had to look twice when it popped up, but tis so. Not sure why Armstrong's photo was one of the results when I searched Ventura, Hasselbeck and nude but there it was.
I have more bike nudity for the Scarborough is a Torture Apologist post. Mostly because I am lazy and there are a plethora of nude people on bike photos out there.

I miss Politically Incorrect.
That's Elizabeth Hasselyuck sitting atop Arnold, displaying the "talent" that got her the job in "show" business. Now if only her brain was half the size of her boobs.
I hate to be this way because I know their are intelligent thoughtful people on the right, but they must all be hiding somewhere these days - Cheney, Rush, Michael Steele, Carrie Prejean, Elizabeth Hasselyuck -- there's not an ounce of reason or common decency among the whole pack.

Thumbed and dugg.

my favorite quote:
"My, you've been a busy little skull."
Anyway, I would have entirely missed this so thanks for all the clips. I love Jesse V. in these clips.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck makes me want to get drunk and shoot things. Why does she have a career? Why? Why?
Anyway, I am devoting my morning to your posts and your links - it's the only way to do it.
Thanks BBE, you busy little skull.
