Now Eric over at MichLib is offering to be waterboarded himself to prove a point and we've even got Brady suggesting that yours truly be waterboarded, too, as a part of some sort of mephistolic fundraising circus.

You can get caught up on the entire (literally) terrifying situation over at Chet's Oakland Politics blog.

For his part, thus far, Chet actually seems willing to accept their "challenge."

Dear Chet,

Have you lost your freaking mind?!  Do NOT go along with this nonsense. Period.  Under any circumstances.  Ever.  

A) Waterboarding is dangerous and unpleasant.  People hate it for a reason. There are physical and psychological difficulties associated with the procedure that can last for years.

B) I have ZERO faith or trust in anyone associated with this Fealk character to do ANYTHING appropriately or professionally.  The man actually went on CraigsList to find a "professional waterboarder."  Red flags.  Thousands of them.  Big and bright.  Flapping in the breeze.  

C) All you WILL prove is that the experience is positively dreadful.

D) You've ALREADY proven a staggering point about Fealk and the Lefty sphere... they are shrill, vitriolic partisans and nothing more.  They oppose waterboarding terrorists, butchers and mass murderers even when it might save thousands of lives... but they are willing to waterboard a political opponent just to prove a point?

If they truly opposed the procedure because of it's barbarism they would NEVER suggest or actually go forward with ANY waterboarding under ANY circumstances.

By leaving their so-called "conviction" at the door on this one they don't just cut their own legs out from under their argument... they also throw it down a flight of stairs, crush it's windpipe with a large stone, fire three bullets into it's skull and then incinerate it's remains.

I am asking you as a human being and as a friend to take Nancy Reagan's advice... Just Say NO!
