The right wing has "Mancow" for dinner....

I just saw one of the more interesting 'can of worms opened' as I watched 'The Keith Olberman show' on MSNBC.. Erich "Mancow" Muller, a WLS radio host, agreed to be waterboarded last week. Taking up an offer Olberman made to Fox news 'host' Sean Hannity, in which Olberman would give Hannity 1,000 dollars a SECOND, for every second he underwent of waterboarding. Olberman would give this money to a charity that supports families of service men and women.. Olberman never heard back from Hannity, 'Mancow' decided to take Olberman up on his offer... Muller would use this demonstration to his advantage, thus proving waterboarding was 'NOT' torture..

Muller lasted 6 seconds (Olberman agreed to give the charity 10,000 dollars).. A very shaken up Mancow revealed " I don't want to say this.. Definitely torture" he revealed..
This lead to a call from Hannity, in which Hannity told Mancow" It's still not torture" Hannity was only the first to make this claim.
Mancow is a major player in the right wing propaganda machine, and started to hear from the powers that call the shots in the Republican party.. All telling him he was wrong, and pressure to fall in on the party line..

A few days ago Mancow made his first appearance on the Olberman show, and told Olberman the same as he had said before. He still says if it would save American lives, he would waterboard, regardless if it's torture or not.. He also said there is no doubt that someone being waterboarded, would most likely tell an intergrater anything to make it stop. Thus admitting, information obtained under waterboarding was unreliable... The two agreed to disagree in the realm of right and wrong, but agreed that it was torture.. In itself quite a moment in the world of pundit news.

A group came forward and made the accusation that the Mancow waterboarding was a 'hoax' and didn't prove anything.. Along with the right wings anger, the being 'thrown under the bus' by the conservitive 'God and guns' groups, and the accusation of it being a fake waterboarding. Mancow went back on the Olberman show, making a statement at the start of the interview "Keith, this is the lions den" referring to the MSNBC studio, aswell as saying "This is where angels and demons meet...", meaning he and Olberman are coming from opposite sides of politics..
Mancow defended that it was not a fake waterboarding...

Then the interesting thing happened,.. Mancow talked about the republican party wanting him to just go out and defend the stated position the party has taken in regards to waterboarding. Feeling the pressure from his unwillingness to do so has made him feel like things have gone to far... He is asking himself the question 'are things out of control'? He says he was trying to prove that waterboarding was not torture, and has ended up being somewhat discredited for revealing the truth.. It must be a very surreal place to be for him. The very propaganda he had a major part in helping to create, is now turning on him..
He stated that he doesn't think it's good that people are going completely on party lines and deny the truth.. "I am only trying to tell the truth" he states as he realizes the true nature of the beast in which he lives. realizing on some level he is expendable, and that if he isn't with them he is against them.. "I just do a little radio show, for people on their way to work"

Mancow realizing this, says to me that maybe people who have just been in the game to make money, or thought what they did has no impact, might wake up and see that they are doing real damage.. These conversations, or debates seem to be the only real hope of stopping the tide of negitive politics.

This to me is a crack to watch, not that it is going to slow anything down.. But I think things are so confusing in the 24 hour news cycle, and the pundits are doing and saying things for the party so fast that noone really knows what is going on anymore.. The right wing is starting to cannibalize itself. If Mancow, a hard core right wing pundit is thinking he is expendable. It's only a matter of time before more pundits find themselves on the wrong side of the tracks..
