Bill O'Reilly vs. Phil Donahue

[jhain]

Good presentation of the smack down:

DONHUE (quieter): How many more young men and women are you gonna send to have their arms and legs blown off ...

O'REILY: Hey, this is a war on terror!

DONAHUE: ... so that you can be tough (points his finger at O'Reilly) and point at people in a kind of cowardly way..

1. Donahue's right.

Guys like O'Reily use rudeness, interruption and shouting as crutches to prop up their losing arguments.

3. Wow! Way to go Phil!

That was one of the best smackdowns of O'Liely ever. To think he actually expects us to believe that he doesn't support the Iraq War. Bill, you and Faux News are one of the major reasons why there is an Iraq War in the first place!

4. Donahue needs his show back!!

I miss his wit and style, his messge is so clear and decent! I miss him so much, and He just handed "Billy" his ass and hit hat....PRICELESS.

5. Why would anyone even try to debate that guy

Every sensible person on the left and in the middle should simply boycot the blowhard. It gets you nowhere to try to debate a liar who's unable to even be civil- ask Paul Krugman!

He went on record saying that he'd rather have a root canal (without anestesia) than try to talk sense to O'Reilly.

All you do by "debating" him is give him publicity and legitmacy while being subjected to abuse.
