Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

A U.S. soldier has been accused of waterboarding his 4-year-old daughter because she couldn't recite the alphabet. Joshua Tabor admitted to police that he used the CIA torture technique, admitted to holding his daughter underwater. When his daughter 'squirmed' to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face upwards three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline. Tabor admitted that he deliberately chose the punishment because his daughter was terrified of water. As his girlfriend looked on he had grabbed the child and placed her on the kitchen counter before submerging her face upwards into a bowl of water. He has been charged with second degree assault and ordered to remain on his army base with no contact with his daughter or girlfriend.

Bet she pays attention next time.

Nothing wrong with this.

So now it's torture.

Good thing he didn't torture her. That would have been bad.

What a scumbag.

why its just a parent disciplining their child.

Monkey see, monkey do.

Holy shit
I'm flabbergasted
This man has dain-bramage

"It werks!" trooper Joshua "Chairpoodle" Tabor grinned, blowing a fetid sigh through Skoal-stained teeth pitted with pockets of ossified God-only-knows-what.

That fuckin' guy needs a permanent case of "waterboarded"...

What this guy did is thoroughly disgusting, but two things need to be pointed out:

1. He didn't waterboard her. He gave her a swirly. I guess 'father gives daughter a swirly' doesn't grab as many headlines. If it did, can you imagine the newspapers during the first week of high school for freshmen? OH MY GOD, I WAS TORTURED IN 1980!! I'm calling the Times!

2. He's obviously as nutty as a Payday bar.

Time for DCFS. This is child abuse.

What he wanted was for her to recite the alphabet in farsi... she just didn't get it.

If the genetic fruit don't fall far from the tree, no wonder she don't know her ABC's.

Second degree assult; first degree a-hole.

Did she give up any of the other terrorist children at the day care?

Spare the water and spoil the chlid or some shit like that.

The dad plans to ask Dick Cheney to be
her godfather.

This is terrible!!!

Her hair must have been all messed up! Not only that, the overhydration of the skin is not good for children! I hope her dematologist can fix this problem and I hope she gets a good hair styling!

Has it ever occurred to you, or has anyone ever mentioned perhaps in passing that you are a psychopath, and lack key mental features that most would consider integral to being human?

Has anyone ever told you in passing to "bite me?"

If they haven't, I'll be the first.

(just for the record, you psychopathic asshole)


Why?

because she couldn't recite the alphabet

Most stories of child abuse dont'get politicized like this one. This story is a big deal only because it takes a swipe at the previous administration. Otherwise this would be part of just another terrible statistic that "concerned" Liberals wouldn't even care about. So spare me your faux moral judgements, alright?

Actually, not only is it further proof of the absolute incompetence and corruption inherent in BushCo, it also indicates that this technique is invented to inspire terror, not produce "accurate intelligence dialogue".

Also, you seem to believe that this was somehow not a politically-relevant story? You fail to appreciate how it's adding to a compilation of expert testimony indicating how very damaging and wrong it was instituting torture.

Prove to me that they don't torture under the Obama Administration!

It will come out.


But, I agree with Member2586, this is absolutely child abuse and has no political implications.

Of course, the Libs on this thread think so. I don't.

It's child abuse and the child should be placed in a home--any home other than her father's.

I heard Eddie fondles poodles. Prove to me Eddie didn't fondle poodles.

It will come out.

Nice. Can I borrow that?


Child Abuse or Child Endangerment, take your pick, perhaps both, but this asshole needs some jail time and some serious PTSD counseling.
