Michael Moore on Bill O'Reilly tomorrow night.

[John Ashcroft]

I didn't see it, but read a transcript on foxnews.com...

You really can't tell who came out "on top" from reading it (although since I don't believe a thing Moore says, I'm gonna have to declare OReilly on top here)... But I'm no real fan of OReilly's either. I wish Hannity could've had a go at him, I think he'd have done a better job.

Hannity is a babbling idiot. O'Reichly is definitely right wing biased (despite his claims to the contrary) but at least he occasionally lets his guests make a point.

Unless they blatantly expose the right wing propaganda in which case he'll cut their microphone and yell at them to "Shut Up! Shut Up! Just Shut Up!!"

Wrong. This new left wing notion comes from the stupid new film “Outfoxed”

“A classic example of the film’s inanity is an incredibly silly attack on Bill O’Reilly because he [O’Reilly] said he almost never said “shut up” to guests. [Film creator] Greenwald goes about disproving this trite little point, but after finding an example or two, he ruins it all by gratuitously adding clips where O’Reilly used the words “shut up” in commentaries, or in questions where he wasn’t telling a guest to shut up, but asking the guest if someone else should shut up.”

[FORD]

I've seen him say it at least twice. Once was on his show, when a family member of a 9-11 victim was challenging the BCE "official story" of the events. OReichly yelled "Shut Up" repeatedly and when that wasn't enough to drown the guy out, he gave the order to cut the kid's mic.

The other was at an event carried live on C-SPAN where O'Reichly got pissed at Al Franken and yelled "Shut Up" at him repeatedly in an attempt to cut off Franken's explanation of why Billy is categorized among the "Lying Liars" of the right wing.

Wow, is this ever true!

There's a streaming video at FoxNews.com; I just watched the interview. I have to agree with Sarge. There was no clear winner here; I actually thought it was a very good debate.

[Sarge]

O'Riley talked shit after the interview....
Like he came out on top.. which he didn't.

It was a good debate and I liked Moore's answers..
Again.. not to defend the guy.
I am just a republican who happens to not like BUSH..

[John Ashcroft]

Heh, the Republican Party accepts gays too...

Oh, wait a minute, wrong Bush... :D

[Big Train]

I just read the transcript and the problem with O'Reilly is that he is too sure of himself, so much so that he lets the debate leave the issues they should be talking about,thinking the other person will hang themselves.

Moore ALWAYS argues based on emotion. Emotion is pointless in policy questions and most politics in general. O"reilly had him where he wanted him, but then lost points and had to go to a defensive position over "would you send your child to Iraq", type bullshit questions.

O'Reilly beat him on facts, but Moore almost came back on emotional ranting.

[Sarge]

What facts?

Are you talking about the beginning hwere he was trying to get Moore to admit that Bush didn't lie?
Because.. I happen to side with Moore on that one.

You have to see the clip..
Neither one came out looking like a victor.
