Dick Durbin said that fiddling with the AC and playing rap music at Gitmo was akin to the abuses of the Nazis, Soviet gulags, and Pol Pot. I did some research, though, and found a number of abuses by the Nazis, Soviets, and Khmer Rouge that went way beyond that, calling into question the accuracy of Durbin’s comparison.
ABUSES BY THE NAZIS, SOVIETS, AND KHMER ROUGE THAT HAVE NOT HAPPENED AT GITMO
* Shaving cream placed on prisoners hand while asleep and nose tickled.
* Male prisoners shoved into the women’s bathroom while they were walking down a hall.
* 2-liter bottles of soda opened early to make sure they were flat when served.
* Shoe laces of prisoners tied together when the prisoners were not looking.
* Forced into watching of episodes of Wings.
* Showers did not include conditioner.
* Undercooked the honey-glazed chicken made for prisoner meals.
* Secretly placed “Kick me!” signs on backs of prisoners.
* In an extremely infamous incident, Pol Pot pulled the seat away from a dissident just as he was about to sit down.
* Forced labor and mass executions.
* Wedgies.
UPDATE: In fairness, I should note that I found no confirmed instance of a Nazi, Soviet, or member of the Khmer Rouge kicking a Koran.
I’ll never forget the day that Pol Pot took that step (the chair incident), and completely threw out the rules of civilized torture…but come on frank, almost no one believes the crazy stories about mass executions and forced labor…thats just histeria talking. Rational people just don’t believe stuff like that anymore, they’re all lies created by the jews so that they could gain more power.
Don’t forget gave swirlies to inmates in stead of Q’urans.
The absolute worst was the Soviet “wet willies” given to gulag residents who didn’t eat all their rice pilaf.
Siberian Wet Willies are the worst.
How about the one where they dip the had of the sleeping inmate in warm water to make them pee the bed.
The only reason they didnt kick the koran is because the muslims werent the ones being imprisoned. it was the jews so maybe they were kicking the torah or whatever they call their book… just a thought… but is kicking the torah something to riot about?
It was a little known rap album by Wagner.
Now by “Wings” did you mean the Discovery Channel show, or the old and very bad sitcom (which, in all fairness, had a hot blonde on it, which made it watchable)?
big difference there…
The rap song through most of the movie was “In the Ghetto”. You didn’t hear it?
I have nothing witty to add except that this stuff is just completely funny and I hope you don’t mind me emailing it to some of my sigh liberal relatives to piss them off.
TEEEEEJ
Siberian purple nurples are causing our enemies to drink Bavarian near beer and misuse gardening implements in a most cruel fashion the world will never understand or respect.
