The video above was taken from the April 23rd, 2009 broadcast of Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. It was downloaded from Crooks and Liars.com and uploaded to Youtube so that it could be embedded here.

In the clip, we see republican mouthpiece, Sean Hannity, ultimately making the claim that he would undergo waterboarding for a charity that supported the families of American troops. Following this, Keith Olbermann takes Hannity to task for this claim, offering $1000 for every second that Hannity endures an actual waterboarding session.

With only one person - a rival television personality, at that - publically making this offer, it is doubtful that Hannity will respond. And so we here at Waterboard Hannity.org have decided that perhaps Mr. Hannity will become a bit more responsible with his words, and possibly even walk the walk with the talk he talks, if the stakes and pressures were higher. That being said, this is the American people's opportunity to up the ante on Olbermann's offer.

Please make a pledge of any amount to add to Olbermann's. Let's send a loud and clear message to Sean Hannity and see once and for all what kind of man he really is.

The list of pledges will be posted below and updated as necessary. Being a brand spanking new website, all we have is Mr. Olbermann's pledge so far. Won't you please be the next?
