Pat Leahy’s Bad Faith | Washington Free Beacon
http://freebeacon.com/pat-leahys-bad-faith/ ...”While debating an amendment sponsored by Sen. Mark Kirk (R., Ill.) that would examine exactly how many Palestinian refugees benefit from U.S. tax dollars, Leahy expressed that the proposal does not put “the United States’ interests first.” “Frankly, Mr. Chairman, as a member of this committee, I always look at what is in the United States’ interest first and foremost, and this would hurt the United States’ interests,” Leahy said, emphasizing the words “United States.” “It may give a momentary advantage to one side or the other after we spend all that money, but it hurts the United States’ interests,” Leahy said.”....
RRD:This is said by a lunatic who literally shouted down another panelist on Nightline,because the other panelist dared to suggest that torture of Al-Qaeda members might sometimes be necessary to prevent a terrorist attack. Leahy,(literally)screamed: ”We are not going to debate torture!”.
The appropriate response to this being: ”brother you are free to NOT debate whatever you want,but this ain't your show & you do not get to decide what the rest of us debate”.
Unfortunately that was not said & this creature was permitted to have his way due to his tantrum.
And no opposing torture is not anti-american,but I find it interesting that his definition of ”putting America first” entails:
prohibiting torture under all circumstances even if it means permitting a nuclear bomb to destroy New York City,even if the only way to prevent the attack was through torture.And yet it also does not permit anything perceived as being critical of the Palestinians.(Though it does permit the use of anti-semitic slogans)
