theweaselkingRoger Ailes on the "innocent protestors" arrested for "trying to save Terri Schiavo".
We have Scott Hildreth, registered sex offender and convicted rapist from Ohio - for whom "no" only means "no" if you're a Christian.
We have Bill Tierney, interrogator from Abu Ghraib, who defends his use of torture: "I tried to be nuanced and culturally aware. But the suspects didn't break."
"They did not break!" he shouted. "I'm here to win. I'm here so our civilization beats theirs! Now what are you willing to do to win?" he asked, "You are the interrogators, you are the ones who have to get the information from the Iraqis. What do you do? That word 'torture'. You immediately think, 'That's not me.' But are we litigating this war or fighting it?"...
Asked about Abu Ghraib, Tierney said ''sadism is always right over the hill. You have to admit it. Don't fool yourself - there is a part of you that will say, 'This is fun.' ''
We have Randall Terry, anti-abortion crusader who is a deadbeat dad and who lies about his financial status to solicit donations and buy a $432,000 house while claiming to be too broke to support his children by his first wife. Terry said "Our goal is a Christian nation. ... We have a biblical duty, we are called by God to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism. ... Theocracy means God rules. I've got a hot flash. God rules."

"I would ask God and just get a sense if something was valid or not, and then know if I needed to pursue it," he said. His assessments through prayer were then confirmed to him by a friend's clairvoyant dream, where he was able to find the location on a map. "Everything she said lined up. This place meets the criteria," Tierney said of a power generator plant near the Tigris River that he believes is actually a cover for a secret uranium facility.
