Michael Moore on the O'Reilly Factor tonight

[PIGEON-RAT]

Yeah O'Reilly was cornered with the question about sending his kids to war, but the problem is that it's not his choice to send his kids to war. He can't make the decision for them to enlist, and it's mighty convenient for him to say that he would go since it would never actually happen.

Watching the interview really made the blind ideologies on both sides come through clearly, but it seems like Moore's is a bit more unwieldy. He would just not back away from claiming Bush lied.

And even after the 9/11 Commission says that Bush didn't lie, wacky lefties continue to insist he did. So these people will pick and choose when to listen to information coming from non-partisan sources. They want to ignore all the intelligence that pointed toward Iraq having WMD coming from the CIA, MI-6, and Russia, but then they'll base all their trust in the NSA and State Dept. suggesting the WMD was destroyed. Then they'll also ignore the findings of the 9/11 Commission when it disagrees with what they want to believe.

Nobody wants to admit they were wrong. Sad state of affairs.

On a more positive note, did anyone catch the interview with Ben Affleck at the beginning of the show? He seems a lot more intelligent than I expected. O'Reilly tried to trap him a bit, but Affleck isn't a blind supporter of Kerry, and he had his own viewpoints rather than copying those of everyone else. And he also wasn't afraid to show when he was ignorant of some of Kerry's flaws. He seemed flustered when O'Reilly tried to trap him, but he handled himself well and didn't fall for it by responding with a knee-jerk reaction.

i missed the whole show, pissed me off, it wasnt on at 7. so i started getting ready for work and forgot to check at 8

OK and O'Reilly wouldn't answer the question of if he'd back his kid going to fight this war either cause he's a pussy. I don't believe for one minute that he'd sign himself up to go to secure fucking fallujah either.

So when he doesn't answer he is a pussy, and when he does answer he is a liar. So much for your credibility.

The whole "would you sacrifice your child" question is bullshit. Nobody is sacrificing their children. Bush isnt sacrificing anybody. These people volunteered to enlist in the military. I dont know how many people here served, but there's a little segment above the dotted line that touches on the fact that maybe, just maybe, you might be called up for active duty and be required to fight overseas. I signed my contract a little over 4 years ago, have they changed since then?

Yeah, it was a good segment. He did well for himself. He is pro 2d amendment. He was complaining about his tax cut, but acted like he was unaware that he could let the govt keep it. Couldn't he just have his accountant write a check?

Also interesting when O'Reilly pointed out that in Mass the upper income tax-payers have the option of denying the tax cut on the tax form, and Kerry DID NOT elect to do this.

no, his credibility. O Reilly has his cake and eats it all day every day of the week.

 

[Longhorn85]

Yes I understand. but The whole freaking channel is called Fox NEWS. People are getting brainwashed. If all you hear is the same shit over and over by VERY smart opinionated leaning to one side... people mixed within the news, you`ll believe it. We have a nation of believers.

How does this differ from stations like NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and PBS which lean left? FOX is a lone wolf out there. We need that balance, I don't know of anyone who only watches one network. We need FOX.

You have to admit that all the other networks political leanings are somewhat veiled, wheareas FOX is so blatant in its bias it's laughable.

I think FOX is unapologetically conservative-leaning, but I don't find that laughable, especially since it is the only one amongst several networks that are left leaning and have been for many, many years.

ORB what are you talking about are you saying there were working WMD in Iraq at the time of the invasion? I think not.

Bush actually said Iraq had nuclear weapons that could be utilised within 40 minutes. He said if we wait for the smoking gun the smoking gun could be a mushroom cloud. All these statements are now know to have been based on absolutely crap. I don't see how anybody can deny he lied.
