Hillary Clinton To Face Bill O'Reilly On "The Factor"

[Submariner]

One must be desperate to sit across the table from a acknowledged sex predator. How low can you go.

The Clinton campaign confirms that Hillary is poised to break bread with Fox News' infotainer Bill O'Reilly. The appearance on Wednesday will be Clinton's first ever appearance on O'Reilly's show.

And, it could be potentially dangerous. If you cast your mind back to July of 2007, you might remember the birth pangs of O'Reilly's Luddite jihad against insufficiently moderated blog comments, which featured O'Reilly needlessly badgering Clinton communication director Howard Wolfson over the comment streams over at DailyKos. At the same time, O'Reilly's website had a comment from a veteran user that read: "If wins... my guns are loaded."

Still, seeing as how the Clinton campaign is increasingly at odds with all Democrats who are not currently white, working-class, and carrying a lunch pail to work at some failing mill in some economically depressed Rust Belt burg, she's likely to find a significant ally in O'Reilly, whose well-worn common man schtick belies the fact that he's a prissy millionaire fussbudget who's too cowardly to meet with the veterans he's disparaged. Chances are good they'll have a nice laugh over terrorists destroying the arugula chomping elites of San Francisco.

UPDATE: Via Johnny Dollar, here's O'Reilly talking about the interview this morning on The Radio Factor, promising that it's "not gonna be a gotcha interview," but rather a "face to face" discussion of "a lot of policy stuff."

1. Theres shark jumping and then there is

whale jumping.

Captain Ahab would be proud.

[DesertFlower]

2. thanks for the "heads up".

i'll be sure to watch it.

[DJ13]

3. "it's not gonna be a gotcha interview,"

Softballs over the plate.

O'Lielly must really want her to be the nominee.

Wonder why?

[BlueManDude]

19. You got it. It will hardly be a "showdown."

[Pisces]

4. Expect a lot of cackling!!

[rpannier]

5. This could come out in a variety of ways

It could be a disaster or it could be like Bill Clinton's sit down with faux's chris wallace, where Bill kicked wallace's useless, lying ass.

Like everything else...time will tell

6. Must be desperation here... Why on earth would anyone in there right mind....

voluntarily go on the Bill O'Reilly show? Pathetic....

[leftynyc]

12. Maybe because it has the highest

ratings of any cable news show. Around 2 million viewers a night. Just a thought.

[LakeSamish706]

13. It's still damn pathetic IMO. n/t

[leftynyc]

15. Did you feel the same when

Sen Obama was on Fox news Sunday show? Or was there some sort of pure reason for that?

Don't get me wrong - I dislike Senators Obama and Clinton equally. I'm just looking for some consistency from their supporters.

[LakeSamish706]

21. I don't like Fox period, but I detest Bill O'Reily so I guess that is where I am coming from. n/t

[leftynyc]

23. I hear you on that

I have it blocked on my TV. Although I've pretty much given up on all cable news at this point. They just want a horserace, they don't give a shit about this country or its citizens.

16. 2 million right wing wackos!

The vast majority would not vote for Obama or Clinton, not matter what. I really don't see why either of them had to go to Fox for an interview. Of course I also could not figure out why Bill went Limbaugh's show, nor why Hillary did an interview with the guy who accused her or murder!:shrug:

[madwivoter]

14. She NEEDS free air time

It's the same reason she keeps asking Obama to debate. She's desperate and she'll take whatever she can.

7. The Race Baiter meets the Harassturbator

Oh well.
"Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediment..."

They were destined to finish in each other's embrace.

[Bolo Boffin]

8. It's another way of highlighting her message that Barack's an elitist.

Obama appears on the Sunday show with Chris Wallace.

Hillary gets down and dirty with the brawler O'Reilly.

As a move, if you're going to Fox, it's the move to make. I'll bet O'Reilly included it in his pitch.

[Submariner]

11. Obama will then have to take on Hannity to trump her

That would be fun watching a thoughtful mind face a closet white-supremacist.

[sasquatch]

9. Why? It's one thing to go onto Fox News Sunday, its another to go to speak to O'Reilly

Do you think she will try and convince O'Reilly that he should finally go through with the lynching of Michelle Obama he talked about a few months ago?

[TooBigaTent]

10. If Obama can go on Faux, then Clinton can as well. Neither should. nt

17. A lot of policy stuff??? Bill O ???

18. He's going to spend the interview attacking Obama and asking her to comment on his attacks.

She is disgusting.

[butterfly77]

20. Yeah this is how I interpet this:

" here's O'Reilly talking about the interview this morning on The Radio Factor, promising that it's "not gonna be a gotcha interview," but rather a "face to face" discussion of "a lot of policy stuff."

We over here at Fox see you need a little help against that Obama so we decided to help you out a little.

No gotcha or hardball questions "Hillary" you follow my lead."

[SharonRB]

22. Interesting

Nancy Skinner will also be on tomorrow, speaking on behalf of Obama. Her segment will be taped.
