Obama To Go on O'Reilly

[Steve Henderson]

"Barack Obama will reportedly be going (http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Dept_of_Counterprogramming_Obama_to _appear_on_OReilly_tonight.html?sho wall) where not too many prominent Dems like to venture: The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News. Obama will be sitting down with O'Reilly for an interview set to air tomorrow night, in an attempt to counter John McCain's speech at the Republican Convention."

[Until The Bombs]

Bastard. I just posted this in another thread. I guess it deserves it's own though. No matter what, it's going to be interesting. I hope O'Reilly's head explodes.

[patpratt]

Ah christ. I hope he tears that bastard to shreds.

[Mitch]

Wtf, haha. This should be...I don't even know.

[nfggc10]

And yet the "tough maverick" John McCain won't even go on CNN.....

"YOU WANT ANARCHY, BARACK!"

[paper halo]

DO YOU LIKE FREEDOM?

[saysmydoctor]

Seriously, I think this is an amazing move and I will actually want to watch this (rather than when I force myself through O'Reilly simply because I want to hear what the fuck he is spewing now).

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

Olberman is interviewing him as well. There's both ends of the spectrum for you.

[saysmydoctor]

Keith <3

When is that?

[Justin_stacy]

Ah christ. I hope he tears that bastard to shreds.

bill keep it pretty tame iwth hillary.

[Steve Henderson]

Obama goes into the lion's den that is O'Reilly, and McCain can't face LARRY KING?!?! Lol.

[Steve Henderson]

When is this going to be?

I want to see Olbermann interview McCain or Palin.

he's been on olberman before.

[Adeniz19]

[Steve Henderson]

he's been on olberman before.
Not recently.

[Jason Tate]

Ballsy. I hope Orly doesn't just start yelling. Usually not a move the leader does ... wow.

[captainhampton]

i don't know what is ballsy about it, Kerry went O'Reilly before the '04 election.

[Jason Tate]

When you're leading heavily in the polls - you usually don't go on obviously partisan talk shows.

[captainhampton]

When you're leading heavily in the polls - you usually don't go on obviously partisan talk shows.

that's a valid point, he doesn't really need to. Kerry/Bush was close at the time, so he may have felt more of a need to go on.

[Until The Bombs]

And it's made more ballsy in light of McCain's move with Larry King.

[Steve Henderson]

When you're leading heavily in the polls - you usually don't go on obviously partisan talk shows.
It's a pretty clever move since it will get people talking and defer attention from McBush's acceptance speech - hopefully he will get some jabs in to break up the RNC monopoly on media coverage.

[Jason Tate]

And it's made more ballsy in light of McCain's move with Larry King.
Truth.

Of course now that I've come on here and said it, I can't find when it will be. I saw it mentioned on MSNBC though. I'll try to find out.

Hey, thats my line you cuntshovel.

Fuck It!! We'll Do It Live!!!

Fuckin' Thing Sucks!!

[carcrashofahart]

obama ftw!

[nfgrocker16]

Funny lil fact just cropped up about the investigation over Palin's abuse of executive power as Gov. Apparently Palin has moved to have the issue taken out of the hands of the state legislature and courts and addressed in a three person committe, which she appointed. hmmmmmm.....

Agreed. I think it'll make for a more immediate response and not just a press release McCain gave each day during the DNC.

[loveisdead]

Fuck It!! We'll Do It Live!!!

Fuckin' Thing Sucks!!
Haha. What a class act.

[loveisdead]

Remember when Hannity was complaining that Obama was a coward for not being willing to go on his show even though that supporter went on? This should shut that complaint down.

[Lueda Alia]

When is he supposed to be on the show?

[Steve Henderson]

When is he supposed to be on the show?
Tomorrow, 8pm Eastern

[Lueda Alia]

Tomorrow, 8pm Eastern
I just didn't know what time.

Thanks.

[We'reAllThieves]

i might be missing this.

[Steve Henderson]

I just didn't know what time.

Thanks.
I am assuming normal time slot.

[Lueda Alia]

I am assuming normal time slot.
Haha yeah but I don't know what that means because I never watch that show.

[IcedOpethBlind]

this will be good

[Neo Cassady]

Interesting. Just set my DVR to record it, and left a note for my roommate so he doesn't think I'm crazy for actually wanting to watch O'Reilly.

[paper halo]

Hey, thats my line you cuntshovel.

Didn't you rob it off some republican fucknut?

Anyway, you should have got their first :-p

[coma]

It's gonna be absolutely epic. I hope Barry calls O'Reilly on his partisan bullcrap. Wipe the floor with that turd. I must admit though, I'd be upset if he catered to the right. Blah.

[Jason Tate]

This on soon?

[GiggsOho]

LOL at O Reilly...Palin has "energy expertise" and she is a "STAR!"

[Until The Bombs]

Gah. Wish I had cable. Hopefully it will be on the net soon after airing.

[Jason Tate]

LOL at O Reilly...Palin has "energy expertise" and she is a "STAR!"
WTF?

[aloneatlastnj]

he's not on yet...probably waiting 'til later in the program.

[open mind]

i guess they know that alot of democrats are tuning in for obama.....so they'll probably have him on last.

[aloneatlastnj]

WTF?

energy expertise? more like being all for sapping the world dry to the point that it resembles a senior citizen's vagina.

[open mind]

LOL at O Reilly...Palin has "energy expertise" and she is a "STAR!"

i thought celebrities were bad.

[wesgemm08]

The conservatives brining up the sexist card against the "left-wing" media is ridiculous.. Do these people not remember the things they were saying about hilary clinton half a year ago?

[Jason Tate]

i guess they know that alot of democrats are tuning in for obama.....so they'll probably have him on last.
I refuse to watch until he's on ... Orly is out of control.

[Jason Tate]

Hahah, I don't understand where this "sexist" card is coming from. It's laughable. They figure if they can anger women into believing it - they'll vote for McCain. The only person I heard making sexist remarks have been conservatives. I'd love to see some quotes provided otherwise.

And of course not ... why bring up how many times she was called a bitch (McCain's own campaign) or the "sexist" buttons being worn in the RNC last night.

[sdbrown]

Wait, did he just say Obama will be on Tuesday?

edit: sorry, turned it on late and he just mentioned he asked Obama about something and it would be on Tuesday. I just don't want to watch this nutjob if I don't have to.

[aloneatlastnj]

Wait, did he just say Obama will be on Tuesday?

heard that as well. oh well.

[Jason Tate]

Wait, did he just say Obama will be on Tuesday?
"Today"?

[sdbrown]

"Today"?

I don't have DVR here so I can't check the schedule for the guest or anything.

[Jason Tate]

see edit.

I don't have DVR here so I can't check the schedule for the guest or anything.
Weird. I'm confused ... second segment? Or ... what?

[sdbrown]

A few seconds ago he mentioned Obama will be on later, so it's probably just an additional segment they will have on Tuesday that they couldn't fit tonight...I hope at least. I already want to punch my TV.

[GiggsOho]

Half time of the football game, perfect f'ing timing.

[GiggsOho]

LOL at the US editor shitting himself, and then at the blond bitch doing her best Campbell Brown. Everyone there, please die, kthnxbai.

Hahahaha.

[sdbrown]

I love how O'Reilly is focusing on an US WEEKLY COVER. They lie about EVERYTHING YOU FUCKING DOUCHEBAG.

[wesgemm08]

They are really discussing US weekly right now on fox news... An US Weekly story is the most important thing they have to talk about.. This TV show is laughable

[GiggsOho]

LOL arguing the journalistic merit of US weekly! Already i'm on aneurysm alert.

[GiggsOho]

Lol at the word BIAS even been thrown out by this cunt. Yeah, i said it.

[sdbrown]

I am torn between being angry and laughing my head off. I almost feel bad for poor 'ole Bill, he really has to reach.

[myworstmistakes]

I'll help you with your packages...someone kill me please.

[GiggsOho]

"the US Weekly article could give people their only opinion on Palin!"

Because last night did such a good job in forming opinions...:rolleyes:

[wesgemm08]

If this lady says fair and balanced one more time I might smash my head through the desk in front of me.

[aloneatlastnj]

LOL arguing the journalistic merit of US weekly! Already i'm on aneurysm alert.

seriously. blasting US weekly for being "blatantly biased"..take a look at the network you work for Orly!

[Jason Tate]

"the US Weekly article could give people their only opinion on Palin!"

Hahahahahaha.

So they're admitting the American public is stupid?

[Jason Tate]

Haha, if that magazine gives people their only opinion on the candidates they probably aren't registered to vote in the first place.

[GiggsOho]

And here.....we.......GO

[sdbrown]

Oh goddamn you O'Reilly. I have to watch this drivel Monday Tuesday and Wednesday?

[Jason Tate]

Haha, if that magazine gives people their only opinion on the candidates they probably aren't registered to vote in the first place.
And what if "Fair and Balanced Fox" is the only place people get their opinion of Obama? Who wants to bet they reach more people.

[Jason Tate]

Oh goddamn you O'Reilly. I have to watch this drivel Monday Tuesday and Wednesday?
Hahaha, really? Is he milking the coverage for ratings? That's pretty gross.

[myworstmistakes]

Oh goddamn you O'Reilly. I have to watch this drivel Monday Tuesday and Wednesday?

Ugh, seriously. I don't think I'm gonna be able to handle it.

[Jason Tate]

:yawn:

[Trainsaw]

i don't know why i thought this was gonna be a live Q & A thing, and why i thought O'Riley will let Obama talk w/o interrupting him every question

[GiggsOho]

Wow, O'Reilly isn't coming off like a douchebag at all.........

[Jason Tate]

i don't know why i thought this was gonna be a live Q & A thing, and why i thought O'Riley will let Obama talk w/o interrupting him every question
Shocking. What did he interrupt him on?

I would always just be like .. "um, can I finish, or you going to talk over and lecture me?"

He thinks that is his way of "dominating" and "winning" in these "debates".

[Jason Tate]

Wow, O'Reilly isn't coming off like a douchebag at all.........
Hahaha, he doesn't respect anyone -- it's not new.

[aloneatlastnj]

:yawn:

seriously.

[GiggsOho]

Hahaha, he doesn't respect anyone -- it's not new.


My grandmother loves this guy -- I don't get why, if I acted like this in political arguments with my family, my grandmother would crack me one, and with good cause.

[Trainsaw]

Shocking. What did he interrupt him on?

I would always just be like .. "um, can I finish, or you going to talk over and lecture me?"

i wish he would do that. He tries to answer and O'Reily tries to throw his view in while Obama is finishing up

[wesgemm08]

So what I am getting out of this interview is that if it were up to Bill O'Reilly, we would invade every single country in the world with our military.

[myworstmistakes]

Even his body language just screams prick...him and this show just make me feel my blood pressure rising. Ugh.

[sdbrown]

7 minutes, that's all we get?

[GiggsOho]

Wow, ho hum, that was so worthless.

[hmmmmmm]

That was a waist of time.

watched almost an hour of filler for a 10 minute interview?

seriously?

[Trainsaw]

Obama should have made a deal w/ him before he agreed to do the show.

"If you interrupt me one time, you have to wear an Obama hat from now until the election"

[sdbrown]

Obama should have made a deal w/ him before he agreed to do the show.

"If you interrupt me one time, you have to wear an Obama hat from now until the election"
haha, O'Reilly would probably just disagree to do the interview and then say it was because Obama was a coward.

[Jason Tate]

Orly's stance on foreign relations absolutely scares the shit out of me.

[Jason Tate]

So what's the over all consensus?

[Trainsaw]

haha, O'Reilly would probably just disagree to do the interview and then blame it on Obama.

I would think that would be something to get him to stfu. I'm not gonna bother w/ the other ones. I'll read reaction here or a transcript. That was a waste of time and just bought on a headache

[hmmmmmm]

Oh, now we get a "reaction"...

[wesgemm08]

Attack Iran! Attack Pakistan! Attack Russia! Attack France!

[sdbrown]

The woman speaking right now sounds so nervous (the blonde)

[Nevuk]

lollll. Surge "successful", Obama not able to admit a mistake. This is comedy gold.

[open mind]

i think it's a bit early to say the surge has worked.
call me a moron but my big requirement to say it worked is continued stability once we pull out all the troops that were involved in the surge if not all the troops we have in iraq.

[mattybobviously]

When Barack can keep his cool like that with that asshole running his mouth, I am pretty confident he can keep his cool about most everything else.

[Nevuk]

O'reilly should probably avoid the phrase " I don't know what that means" from now on.

[wesgemm08]

We still have not reached the major goals for the Iraqi government/military/police..

[Machu505]

That was a ripoff. You mean I gotta watch O'Reilly for THREE more nights?

[WarpSpeedChewy]

That was barely an interview.

[boykosaurus]

lollll. Surge "successful", Obama not able to admit a mistake. This is comedy gold.

This whole "surge" thing is ridiculous. People assume that the word "worked" means the country is fine and dandy.

[loveisdead]

Obama basically admitted that the surge did more than he thought it would. In a sense, it was successful. I don't know why O'Reily kept questioning him on admitting it worked when he clearly said it did.

[Steve Henderson]

Obama basically admitted that the surge did more than he thought it would. In a sense, it was successful. I don't know why O'Reily kept questioning him on admitting it worked when he clearly said it did.
I think he admitted what he needed to. It is PARTIALLY successful in that it it reduced the violence. However, as Obama said, it brings them no close to whatever imaginary endgame McCain and the repubs have set up for Iraq. If it worked as much as McCain says, it would be unequivocal...we would be out of there.

[Steve Henderson]

But yeah, overall I say it was a success. It is going to be hard to bring myself to watch O'Reilly for 3 more days, but I just love watching Obama think and formulate a response. That guy is incredibly deep and intelligent.

[open mind]

Obama basically admitted that the surge did more than he thought it would. In a sense, it was successful. I don't know why O'Reily kept questioning him on admitting it worked when he clearly said it did.

the thing about the surge is that most of what's made a difference in reducing violence was diplomatic force, not military might.

[Adeniz19]

is this online anywhere?

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

Sorry if someone has said it

But Obama will be on Olbermann on Monday at 8

Good...don't have to watch that 45 part interview on O'Reilly anymore.

[nfggc10]

It's too bad Bill still has no idea how to interview people. He was trying to interrupt or counter him before Obama could get two words out of his mouth. At least Obama was respectful considering the circumstances.

I also like how quick Bill was to say "forget the past" considering the people he supports are the ones who created the mess.

[KidRobot]

O'reilly should probably avoid the phrase " I don't know what that means" from now on.

Whatever it is, it's not right.

[loveisdead]

the thing about the surge is that most of what's made a difference in reducing violence was diplomatic force, not military might.
How do you figure? We sent more military over, and violence went down. I'm not incredibly fluent in the subject, so maybe you can explain better.

He needs to stop doing that shit. It's so disrespectful to the interviewee. You would think that although Obama and O'Reilly disagree on nearly everything, O'Reilly would show some respect for a presidential nominee.

[Yakacack]

Do any of you realize that the violence in AFGHANISTAN WHERE THE ACTUAL FUCKING TERRORISTS ARE has more than fucking tripled within the last month alone?? This fucking speech being given right now has essentially sent me into a rage. My younger brother is in Afghanistan and just last week there was a 9 car convoy full of explosives that tried to drive onto his FOB. In the last three weeks he has had 3-4 gunfights with actual Al Qaeda terrorists that are moving closer and closer to the several military bases in northern Afghanistan. And has this war been brought up even once by the Republicans? No. Instead the focus is on Iraq where we created the fucking disaster for ourselves rather than sending more troops to where they are actually needed.

Good; Olbermann is enjoyable.

Olbermann is merely the liberal version of O'Reilly. He is just as much as unwatchable with his bias as O'Reilly is with his. And they're both crazy.

They're both biased, but Olbermann blows O'Reilly out of the water. He's not nearly the dick O'Reilly is and speaks far more eloquently.

They are equally as biased, but at least Olbermann lets his guests talk.

Olbermann lets you talk. Try again.

Yeah, I wasn't aware that to be a good news anchor, it doesn't matter how biased you are in your ramblings, it merely comes down to you let your guest finish his sentences.

I guess IM the crazy one for preferring unbiased (well, less biased) news anchors who present facts rather than opinions (Olbermann's Worst Person in the World, I'm looking at you)

[xshady121]

They're both biased, but Olbermann blows O'Reilly out of the water. He's not nearly the dick O'Reilly is and speaks far more eloquently.

No, Olbermann is quite the dick. He caters to the left wing and makes "jokes" that only they find funny, the rest of the liberal base (not even including the conservatives) find to be at the best a failed attempt and at the worst a crude, disrespectful remark.

However, he does speak more eloquently than O'Reilly. But you can be the most eloquent speaker in the world, if your "news" segment is merely opinionated speak you try and call news, you fail.

Olbermann > O'Reilly in terms of professionalism, but no thank you Mr. Olbermann, I'll get my news elsewhere.

WELL YOU COULD YELL TO OVERRULE YOUR GUESTS WHO ARE TRYING TO HAVE A CIVIL DEBATE or you can have polite, fierce debate where two rational people disagree but can still respect differing opinions. Now who is who?

Of course it's an opinionated segment, but he backs it up with current events and presents his opinion. But he also does numerous segments where he corrects numerous idiots for their inaccurate statements and puts them in their place. Both parties. (See: Clinton. See: Coulter.)

I feel like you think I'm trying to defend O'Reilly. I most certainly am not. I admit it, he's crazy, and a poor source of news. However, if you even believe Olbermann isn't in the same ballpark as O'Reilly is, you're wrong.

He isn't, I'm pointing out the clear differences. I admit that Olbermann is clearly a liberal and has a very liberal primetime spot. But to say he is nothing like O'Reilly.

He isn't, I'm pointing out the clear differences. I admit that Olbermann is clearly a liberal and has a very liberal primetime spot. But to say he is nothing like O'Reilly.

Yeah, he is clearly a liberal. But he goes about professing his opinions in the same way O'Reilly does. They both have the same agenda and present news with their own spin on it. And they both make no bones about their allegiances. However, Olbermann displays a bit more professionalism and doesn't speak like an incoherent moron. You can't just overlook the fact that he is just as bad as O'Reilly just because he speaks well. That's being a bit hypocritical.

Whatever, I know I'm not the only one who believes they're the same. And I know you won't ever think that, let's agree to disagree. There are bigger issues to be tackled this election.

He isn't just as bad as O'Reilly. He doesn't broad assumptions, he doesn't contradict himself months later (see The Daily Show's latest call of O'Reilly's 'gestating' teen pregnancy belief).

And O'Reilly, I'm quite certain is a registered independent.

Anyway, yes, agree to disagree.

Olbermann and Matthews were like cheerleaders reporting that

My thing is, I don't have a problem with it, I just know thats how it is. They don't try to hide it.

I watched the first minute of O'Reilly's interview with Obama. Obama accepts that there is a 'war on terror'. Hmm...This man is the alternative to Bush? How about saying it's a war OF terror? 1 million dead Iraqis, thousands of dead Afghans...

"We did not knowingly prevent these people from living..."

"We did not knowingly prevent these people from living..."Perhaps you should've kept watching two seconds longer and you would've gotten your answer. The Bush administration's "war on terror" supposedly was to go after those that attacked us on 9/11 yet we didn't. Obama is just trying to clarify where are "enemies" actually are and where our resources should have been used at the time.
