Inhofe: ‘There has never been a case of torture’ at Guantanamo Bay.

Inhofe: ‘There has never been a case of torture’ at Guantanamo Bay.

Yesterday, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) held a town hall meeting with his constituents in Grove, Oklahoma, where he unleashed a tirade of hyperbolic remarks against Obama administration policies. At one point he even suggested that Obama is “obsessed” with releasing terrorists into the United States, and claimed that there has “never been a case of torture” at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp:

***He is also alarmed, he said, by the proposed closing of the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Obama administration wants to shutter the camp because of its association with torture.

***Inhofe said: “There has never been a case of torture there. The people there are treated better than in the federal prisons.”

***He continued, “I don’t know why President Obama is obsessed with turning terrorists loose in America.”

Just like hobbit709 said, ''they live in their own little fantasy world''. Republicians believe what they want to believe, and hear what they want to hear. They know that them Gitmo detainees was abused and treated badly. But they don't care...That's a republician for you!

Republicians= GREED, SELFISHINESS, CARE-LESS, LIARS and MOSTLY RACIST. They want to see the poor and the middle class suffer.

3. The people there are treated better than in the federal prisons?

Well then, let's stop mollycoddling them and move them to Federal Prisons.

5. How do you overcome such unreason?

Inhofe seems impervious to reality. Is this what all - or even a majority - Oklahomans are like? Because I can't believe that a majority of folks in that state care to have such an ignoramus representing them in the Senate.

7. what state does he represent??? DENIAL???

what a lame excuse for a public servant he is.

Pretending it didn't happen won't make it true. It only makes it worse, and lowers your credibility Mr. Inhofe.

:shrug:

8. Inhofe then went on to proclaim, "I have never farted or masturbated."

At that point, the people standing behind him on the dais began to hold their noses and fan the air; while his mother, sitting in the audience, was heard to mutter, "Then why did you spend hour upon hour in the bathroom with the National Geographic, Jimmy?"
