O'Leilly gets hat handed to him
He was bitching about the cost of nationalizing health care, especially Kerry's proposal. Anyone see it? He had some shill from the CATO institute and a doctor from Harvard who beat them both like a drum. She countered every lying bogus argument they put up, and made O'Leilly look like the uninformed fool he was. He had no facts but tried to pretend he did and she repeatedly corrected his ignorance. It was as good a beating as I've seen him take and I know he cut it short. Hope he puts up a transcript...but I doubt it.

I think the whole right wing media cabal is shaking in their boots at the new Kerry offensive and they can't seem to get their usual liberal punching bags to take their usual dive. This is gonna get good.

1. I agree, this new attack angle (probably due in part from Clinton ..
and his advisers) has the Repugs off their guard. Rove must be spinning on his fat ass. Lets hope Kerry keeps it up.

2. Does Fox post transcripts?
I can't stand to watch him but, I'd like to read what the Harvard Dr. has to say.

4. Was it Dr. Steffie Wollander? ( sp?)
She's the best and really knows the medical dilemma we are in. I'll bet she never gets air time again. Can't have anyone who knows their medical business upset the for profit, less health care cabal.

6. Yes, it was,
and the aptly named Woolhandler did in fact handle O'Really and the Cato guy masterfully as they were trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the viewer.

8. Fantastic.
We really need to get Al Franken, Randi Rhodes and anyone else who is interested to interview her on Air America in a more friendly venue. I'm so sorry I missed that, but truthfully, I can't stand those people. If I had known she was on, I would have watched.

7. He had Bono last week...
and he got it handed to him then too. He came across as being very uninformed and heartless.

9. The finest beating O'Reilly ever took
Edited on Thu Sep-09-04 12:17 AM by Sandpiper
Was when he had Barney Frank on the show to talk about Bushco suppressing the Florida recount.

Dressed O'Reilly down, gave him a swift kick in the ass, and left him speechless.

10. I hope that when he puts that hat on, he'll find that someone shit in it..
That man honestly makes me physically ill. If I so much as look at him for three minutes, my stomach starts to rumble and knot up.

The sooner this guy is banished back to local radio in Podunk, the better.
