It’s no secret that “Fox News” hit a bit of an unenviable snag recently when a Senate review of America’s interrogation techniques during the Bush administration revealed wide-spread, systematic use of horrific acts of torture. Tasked with somehow supporting former president George W. Bush through the ugly details, the network dove head first into not just apologizing for, but justifying, the use of torture by his administration.

While the whole “Fox News” family really pulled together on this one and pushed their pro-torture message in unison, there was one standout who really managed to take the “torture isn’t wrong” message to the next level.

Nobody does shameless right-wing pandering better than Sean Hannity, so the conservative pundit has been working overtime to pretend that he is totally cool with the findings of the Senate torture report. Apparently, spindoctoring the Bush war crimes didn’t stop at the end of his broadcast, though, because on December 10, he gleefully spent the night tweeting visual reminders of why America had to inflict pain on terror suspects — extremely graphic, sickening visual reminders.

First, Hannity retweeted one of his fans tweets which featured the Twin Towers at the moment of impact on 9/11. Then he tweeted it again. Concluding that wasn’t enough, Hannity then decided to show “liberals” what real torture was by retweeting an image of journalist James Foley’s body after ISIS decapitated him. Foley’s family has been vocal about people not using images of his murder to push petty political agendas but hey, Hannity doesn’t see the problem with it. Thinking that wasn’t enough vileness for one night, Hannity tweeted a picture of some dead and dismembered children. To the photo, he added a list of acts of terrorism committed against the United States which he believed justified torture.

that Martina McBride is a horrible person for attending his "freedom concerts" and letting him use her song as his intro.

other than she was a country music star in the 90s

Is she the Ted Nugent of country music?
