Brian Lamb Taking a Right-Winger Apart on CSPAN!

[GiovanniC]

Pointing out his hypocrisy in supporting O'Reilly and criticizing Clinton.

Brian is in a mood today. He's hilarious.

CALLER: Bill O'Reilly tries to cut through the spin.
BRIAN: Does Bill O'Reilly spin?
CALLER: He tries not to. He tries to keep things true.
BRIAN: So Bill O'Reilly only tells the truth?
CALLER: Better than most. He's not perfect, but yeah.


CALLER: Everyone focusing on this... blah blah... skating over others who do the same thing...
BRIAN: Did everyone skate over Bill Clinton?
CALLER: Yeah.
BRIAN: How many months did we spend talking about Bill Clinton?
CALLER: But nothing happened.

[ProfessorGAC]

1. Talk About Someone Who Wasn't Paying Attention!

Nothing happened?!?!?!? What a moron.
The Professor

[bryant69]

5. Well you know Clinton wasn't flogged on the Mall was he?

I mean he was publically humiliated and embarrassed, but he got to keep on being president, so I guess it doesn't count.

19. Moron? I think you mean...

"Moran."



NOTE: Not to be confused with the Irish clan:

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Yeah, I Know

Just can't bring myself to spell it wrong on purpose. I'll leave that to the real morons. Like the guy in the picture.
The Professor

[TahitiNut]

23. Nawww... just an avid Pox Nuze viewer. You know: "Fair and Balanced"

:shrug: :eyes:

[coreystone]

2. How about this guy blasting FOX news? n/t

Brian seems to be challenging him!

[GiovanniC]

3. Like I Said, Brian Is In a Mood

Listen to him now... Incredulously asking caller: "You think Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity are IMPARTIAL!?"

He's challenging EVERYONE.

[Gman]

6. These are the same people that spell it

"imparshul". They don't even know what the damn word means.

[coreystone]

4. Looks like a "left-right" march to me.....

Brian does force them to justify,no matter what the position.


?????

[GiovanniC]

7. Woman on Now Comparing Someone Calling a Coworker "Honey or Sweetie"

To Bill O'Reilly wanting to molest a woman with a felafel.

[skygazer]

13. Quite frankly

I think it's grossly inappropriate to call a co-worker "honey" or "sweetie". It may not be on the same low level as O'Lielly but it's still wrong.

[GiovanniC]

14. There Are Women at My Office Who Call Me That

It doesn't bother me.

But if they wanted to molest me with a felafel... well, it would depend, I guess.

[GiovanniC]

8. Oh, Wait...

Now Andrea Mackris led Bill O'Reilly on. And Bill O'Reilly lets people decide their opinions for themselves.

And more RWingers getting on than left.


Brian Lamb to Right-Winger: "What would you think if I told YOU to shut up?"

[prolesunited]

11. Don't you know?

If a woman gets harassed, it's her own fault — you know, she dresses seductively or smiles provocatively. And if a man takes it a step further and rapes her, she must have been asking for it. :puke:

The neanderthals will be showing their true colors on this.

[coreystone]

15. Yeah! And this was a lady who admitted to have been a victim....

:crazy: :think: :crazy:

[Ripley]

16. I knew it would come to that...

They are calling her a slut because she taped the phone calls and O'reilly is a VICTIM. Oh, and she didn't follow procedures!

Bullshit. Go to the EEOC office and that is exactly what they will tell you to do....document every way you can. Write it down, record it, get witnesses.

I hate this country right now. :grr:

[dansolo]

35. So then what was Linda Tripp?

Linda Tripp recorded her conversations with Monica, and she was the darling of the Right.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. It's What I've Been Saying For Years!

They have it coming! Kidding of course. Hi, Sharon.
The Professor

[TahitiNut]

21. The reichbot "Blame the Victim" brigade will always be heard.

Just like farts before a bowel movement. :shrug:

[calimary]

26. "Just like farts before a bowel movement!"

That sounds like the Pox "news" lineup. Who comes first - Vanity and Colmes (farts) before o'reilly (a bowel movement), or is it the other way around? Shows ya how much I watch the Pox "news" network - I don't have the faintest idea of who's on first. They're all interchangeable.

BTW, TahitiNut, that is one HILARIOUS metaphor! Applause!!!

[Cat Atomic]

27. I don't know why, but you can count on right-wingers to back the

figure of authority every time in cases like this.

I have a little experiment I run regularly. I like to listen to right-wing radio immediately after some instance of police brutality is caught on tape. The callers side with the cops- almost without exception. No matter how blatant the brutality is, no matter how obviously out of line the cops are- the right-wingers will instinctually back the authority figure.

They do it when employers or corporations are charged with abuses, too.

I think it's tied into the whole "I need a strong daddy" thing, personally.

[TahitiNut]

29. Authoritarianism is about the 'followers'.

We're heavily indoctrinated in this country.

Parents are "authority figures." (Most resort to "because I say so" much of the time.)
Teachers are "authority figures." (Most resort to "because I say so" much of the time.)
Bosses are "authority figures." (Most resort to "because I say so" much of the time.)
Police are "authority figures." (Most resort to "because I say so" much of the time.)

Smirky McFascist leverages this. He's constantly saying he was 'right' because he still agrees with himself. :eyes:

My favorite button for many years, which I still wear, is "Question Authority!"

[coreystone]

9. Oh my God, O'Reilly doesn't "editorialize".....

:crazy:

[GiovanniC]

10. As Long as "Editorialize" Doesn't Have Anything to Do With Opinions

Oh, wait. It does?

Well then... you're full of shit, caller.

[GiovanniC]

12. New Caller: Solve Sexual Harassment Problem Through Sexism

Just don't hire women, and you won't have this problem!

[lpbk2713]

17. This sounds like the mindset of the a-hole they put in the Whitehouse.

Typical.

[prolesunited]

24. Yes, heaven forbid

We ask men to control themselves. :eyes:

Do men think that women don't get lustful thoughts or turned on in the workplace? Most — and I'm qualifying this because I know we can all cite cases where the reverse is true — women control these impulses.

But, then again, often this is more about power and control than lust.

[coreystone]

18. GiovanniC....And, thanx for the "heads up".....

:-)

[lukasahero]

25. "But nothing happened"??????!!

WTF? Guess he missed that whole impeachment bit, huh? Honest to Goddess I'm beginning to think we should have to pass a current events awareness test before we vote.

[AmerDem]

28. Lamb is a "right-winger"

nuff said!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

30. Lamb is a conservative, but he has always come across as

an old-fashioned type of Republican who doesn't foam at the mouth.

I wouldn't be surprised if the rightwingers are getting to be too much even for him to take. :-)

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Not Sure He's A Conservative

I think he's more a moderate Repub. Not the same thing. As a matter of fact, in interviews, he almost seems to have liberterian leanings.
The Professor

[immoderate]

32. How can you tell?

--IMM

[Ripley]

33. Because he gives wacko republicans lots of airtime on his show.

Even people like Mickey Kauss. Especially on Fridays...he always has on the same guys from HF, AEI, etc. Rarely has on liberal writers, think tank folks and I have never seen a blogger to balance Kauss. Oh yeah, and Druge is on, but a lot but I've only seen Brock on once.

[AmerDem]

34. watch enough of Washington Journal

granted he doesn't act like the other repuke talking heads but he is a staunch repuke all the same. Actually a case can be made that he can be more harmful then these other wack job types by his subtle way of twisting and starting topics with a repuke agenda.
