I think I figured out why Hannity is not taking up KO's waterboarding challenge.
I think he has secretly had it performed on him and realizes that it would be a disaster to have it air.

Seriously, if someone was calling me a coward EVERY FUCKING DAY about something that I thought was no big deal, I would be taking them up on their offer. But if I KNEW it would make me out to be the biggest goddam liar imaginable, well...

1. I wouldn't take it that far
I don't think he had it done, I think he is a coward and he never had any intention of going through with it.

2. He knows it's torture. He doesn't have to have had it done to know that.
The repugs did it precisely because it IS torture. That's why he doesn't want to do it. No sane person WANTS to be tortured.

12. Waterboarding can break special forces soldiers in a minute
So no way a puffball blowhard like Hannity could stand up to it. He knows he'll be begging his torturer to let him say Countdown with Keith Olbermann is his favorite TV show within 30 seconds.

3. I don't think he was ever serious.
He blurts out stuff like that every day.

4. Yes you would if someone was calling you a coward but you weren't one.
But what if you were? Inshannity can read, he doesn't have to experience the reality of waterboarding to know he should be afraid of it. He just doesn't mind it being done to anybody else.

Ignoring KO is easy for him, he's been ignoring people who called him a coward and a liar all his life.
He has to.

5. I have it figured out too
It's torture designed to break a human's will, and he knows it would be the most horrific thing he has ever faced.

6. This is the same Hannity that ran from Ron Paul supporters during the
2008 NH GOP primary.

7. If Hannity had any balls, he'd offer to get sodomized for charity
I'm so sick of the M$M making torture all about waterboarding.

10. He is a sadist
not a masochist. Sean the pervert gets his jollies hurting others.
Lets just speak the truth here. The proponents of torture are SADISTS, not patriots. They are sadistic perverts, no matter who they are. If you dig just a little, they are sadistic twisted sob's.

13. He was never going to do it.
Anyone who took that seriously is fooling themselves.
