[blm]

.

[Berlum]

16. Oh noes

[niyad]

53. delousing chamber, a pitcher of margaritas and some migraine medication on standby. you are

[Zorra]

67. Here's backup

[onehandle]

69. That was a Great movie. nt

[darkangel218]

2. No thanks, i dont watch faux news.

[TexasTowelie]

41. +1

[hrmjustin]

3. Good luck to you my friend.

[Berlum]

4. Be sure to remind her that the Repubbies SLASHED the budget for embassy security

...which led directly to BenghaziGate...Repubbies are to blame.

[TeeYiYi]

5. I can't stand Laura Ingraham. Nails on a chalkboard. Good luck! ..nt

TYY

[bbernardini]

6. Bring a book to read.

Since they probably won't let you talk.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. Good luck!

Post a link if available afterwards. Should be interesting

[blm]

8. Remember - the annex was housing a covert CIA mission, and THAT led to the vagueness

and the complexities in the immediate explanations afterwards. However - the RW media machine likes to IGNORE the fact that the protests of the film started BEFORE the attack. The attackers gained cover through those violent protests of that film that were spreading quickly around the region. When the RW declares that film was a made up issue, then ask them to say how many US embassies and consulates were also seeing violent protests throughout that week and how many other people died during those protests of that film? Did they really expect that any State Dept should have ignored the wildfire spreading out of control all over that region and the world, just because the RW machine needed to placate their anti-Islam base who agreed with the film?

[Myrina]

9. Don't hurt her little pea-brain by using multi-syllabic words, k?

Have fun, you're a braver man than i'll ever be!!

[pa28]

11. For perspective ask her why Bush ignored repeated warnings about 911.

[Electric Monk]

17. ++^++

[Gman]

12. Give 'em hell

[benld74]

13. Get em! And take a nice long hot shower when done.

[spanone]

14. wear your hazmat suit! thanks for that!!!!

k&r...

[Benton D Struckcheon]

28. ...and make sure it works against loofahs.

Happy Loofah Day! (Not really yet, but isn't every day loofah day with O'Reilly?)

[bravenak]

32. Not falafels?

I may be wrong, but i thought it was falafels. And baths.

[Benton D Struckcheon]

38. See page 16 of the complaint.

Here it is: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/oreilly-falafel-suit-turns-five?page=15

[bravenak]

40. Can't stop puking.

You're right. He meant loofahs. A falafel would never survive the horrors. Horrors. I feel dirty, and now I can't shower. Thanks O'reilley!

[skip fox]

15. I'll be watching. I've confidence in you.

[DCBob]

18. Good luck and dont take no shit from those RW loons!

[Gravitycollapse]

19. Why? Why bother giving credence to Fox? You're wasting your time...

And propping up a news organization that needs to die out. Congrats.

[Electric Monk]

22. I think he dreams of being the next Colmes

[Ganja Ninja]

20. Please go out of your way to work in the word "Felafel" as many times as you can.

It's my drinking game word for the evening. "Felafel"

[msanthrope]

21. Kick! And can you post video after? nt

[progressoid]

23. That's not a fair fight.

They need a couple people to even out the IQ level.

[OneGrassRoot]

24. O'Reilly is one of the few people in the world...

I would love to meet, so I could slap him in the face.

I seriously don't know that I could restrain myself from slapping him, even if it means I'd go to jail.

Cheney is another.

Ick. Good luck.

[Fla Dem]

25. I guess no one forced you to do this, but you do know trying to defend Obama on Faux is pointless

and a losing battle. Make sure you are prepared with a few quick smart comments. They don't usually give the opposing side much time to speak and when they do let you speak they talk over you. But Good Luck and give it your best.

[Dawgs]

26. Why would anyone go on Fox News?

And, self-promotion on DU is just embarrassing.

[liberalhistorian]

56. Why? There are plenty of us who would actually

be interested in seeing it for ourselves, but would have never known because we generally don't follow Faux. Just because you wouldn't doesn't mean you can decide for everyone else.

[Dawgs]

70. One time post is much different than using DU for personal advertisement and marketing. n/t

[RebelOne]

60. I never do, but I will watch it tonight just to catch Steve's appearance. n/t

[millennialmax]

27. Keep up the good work.

I'm glad there's some proactive individuals out there that's more about batting against the other team, rather than beating their own teammates to death with ball bats.

[emulatorloo]

29. Tough job arguing with liars.

You catch them in one like, they just tell 5 new ones.

Give her hell!

[bravenak]

30. Are you in some kinda trouble?

Who's making you do this? Just let us know and we'll make the bad people stop and leave you alone.
If you see a loofah or a falafel just remain calm and politely excuse yourself. You don't want to know what he does with those. I'm not quite clear on what he does with those, but I think it involves unwanted rubbing and baths.

[snooper2]

31. I dare you to wear a bigger cross than her

[Vinnie From Indy]

33. Tell O'Reilly he is an inspiration for morons the world over.

If someone as bone stupid as him can sell stupid for millions, there is hope for all of them!

Cheers!

[Just Saying]

34. I give you credit.

I don't think I could be around either one of them without telling them that I think they're despicable human beings hurting America with their selfish, awful attitudes.

Good luck!

[NightWatcher]

35. What's the point? No one who watches will share your ideas and they'll yell at you.

I'd rather watch flies on a rotting piece of meat.

Enjoy wasting your time and effort.

[libodem]

36. Give her the what for, my friend

Be sharp. I find O'Liely loathsome. Try not to catch any cooties.

[Shankapotomus]

37. Don't forget when talking Benghazi to always remind them

No one was impeached for the Beruit bombing even though Reagan was explicitly warned to move the base and over 240 Americans died.

[LearningCurve]

42. I remind people of this as well

It doesn't excuse bad decision making in Benghazi, but it keeps things in proper perspective. Benghazi is no more a scandal than Lebanon. If you go by body count, Lebanon was worse.

[Shankapotomus]

45. But the thing is Laura I. still loves Reagan

and thinks he was a great president. So I think Steve could gain some big points tonight if he point blank asked Laura what her final estimation of Reagan was and then quickly pivot to the similarities between the Libya and Lebanon attacks. In other words, she can't be allowed to hold the contradictory views that Reagan is still a saint after Lebanon while Obama is shoe gum after Benghazi.

[CatWoman]

39. Hope you've had your tetanus shot

[TexasTowelie]

43. So you volunteered to be the "balanced" one?

Post the video. You'll probably be near the end of the show so there is no way that I'd subject myself to watching the previous 50 minutes of Bile-O.

[Brigid]

44. I have a nice big crucifix you can borrow.

I even had it blessed by a priest.

[riderinthestorm]

47. Better you than me (shivers). Good luck out there! nt

[William769]

48. Your just a gluten for punishment aren't you.

I couldn't be in the same room with those people, let alone talk to them. Good luck.

[closeupready]

49. Give her hell, Steven.

[onethatcares]

50. good LUCK and goodspeed

I'll watch just to see and lend support.

[indepat]

51. May ye rhetorically and metaphorically rip Ms. Ingraham's arse with

aplomb and panache.

[rl6214]

52. Without billo there I may just tune in.

[Number23]

54. Better you than me! lol I don't know which one of the two of them I despise most

Kick some ass, Steven!

[darkangel218]

55. Why would any of us up faux news ratings??

Honest question, are you getting compensated for appearing on ORilley??

[cherokeeprogressive]

59. Don't be silly. Of course he is.

[tblue37]

64. Unless you actually have a ratings meter in your home, watching

FOX will have no effect on their ratings.

[darkangel218]

65. Yes it does. thats how they make their money.

[tblue37]

68. A ratings meter in selected "representative" homes

logs every time someone is watching a channel/show. Then, just as with polls, by some statistical formula, they extrapolate these numbers to estimate how many televisions are tuned in to a given show over a specific span (surely you have heard of "ratings week&quot .

The only other method used to measure ratings is for people in the selected homes to keep a viewing diary to self-record the shows they are watching.

If yours is not one of the selected homes with a ratings meter or logging viewing habits in a viewing diary, then no one is counting whether you are tuning in to a show or not.

Advertisers pay more for ads on shows with high ratings, but you won't alter their ratings unless your TV is metered by the Nielsen company.

[DevonRex]

57. Thank God. My relatives will hear sanity and reality

for the first time since the last time you were on. Do you have a Star of David lapel pin or tie tack or cuff links?

[darkangel218]

66. lol nt.

[Cha]

58. K&R!

[steve2470]

61. You have more patience than me

I salute you for that !

[A HERETIC I AM]

62. One of the coolest things about DU....

is that Steve is a member!


Hoped you kicked ass!

(Just got stopped for the day, so I'm sure I missed it all.)

[RebelOne]

63. Bravo. Good job, Steve.

She seems to be like a female Hannity and kept talking over you.

[NCTraveler]

71. I have watched you a couple of times when you are on Fox.

Your demeanor, preparation, and wit are excellent. You are a great person for our side to have in this type of venue. You bring a different side to the issues than they normally have and you do it in a very well thought out manner. I am sure you are at least able to get some of their more reasonable audience members to think a little out of their comfort zone. Keep it up.
