The death penalty in the United States puts is in that great club of nations who do the most of it: Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and China. You are known by the company you keep.
Bill Maher, Matt Kibbe, Hogan Gidley, Amy Goodman, Hogan Gidley and Neil DeGrasse Tyson, discuss the botched Arizona execution and the death penalty.
So we have the father of the Tea Party Matt Kibbe, Rick Santorum’s campaign director Hogan Gidley, progressive Amy Goodman, nitwit evolutionist and scientist Neil DeGrasse Tyson and death penalty advocate Bill Maher weighing in on executions in America.
Seems a fair mix, with only Amy Goodman speaking out while Tyson seems to skirt it and the two Republicans supporting it. Americans are about 60% in favor of tying people up and dragging them down a hallway to be killed. In a Christian Jesus sanctioned way. About twice as many Republicans as Democrats with Independents being at the 50 percentile.
