No time for a history lesson??? How can we understand the present without understanding history? No time? What is the hurry? Maybe if O'Reilly would just be quiet for a moment, both he and his viewers would learn something. Sadly, he'd rather just just demagogue.
Watching this clip reminds me yet again why I don't have cable TV. People actually watch this guy on a daily basis?
Thanks Netwarrior & danconia3873
Tonight! Monday, September 10, 8pm ET - Ron Paul on O'Reilly Factor - FOX. Check local listings for exact times.
Peace with muslims??? Read Oriana Fallaci
Too bad that Ron Paul doesn't understand what muslims want. They are jealous, hatred, intolerate bandits, which want to capture the whole world. Do not believe than someone says that islam is peaceful religion - he is lying, it is possible for muslims to lie for a non-muslim. See more on http://thereligionofpeace.com/ Do you really think that Iranian leaders will not try to blackmail world when they get atomic weapons? Would you try to stop Hitler in 1933? Do you see difference between nazies and muslims? I see: nazies never tortured THEIR people. Imagine what would muslims do with non-muslims, especially women. Exactly one year ago Oriana Fallaci died. Reread her books. I like Ron Paul very much, but the idea of withdrowing from mediterranian is stupid and will cause a lot harm. This is the only question which I definitely disagree with Ron.
Missing the Point
While you may not watch Fox News or OReilly MILLIONS of people do. These are also potential VOTERS. To win we have to reach beyond our relatively small group of rabid believers. Talking back forth amoungst ourselves is not going to get it done. Dr Paul has to address large groups of the population outside of the present supporters. We have to convert people. These appearances must be used to give people a short simple message that make people think, "hey wait a minute I never considered it that way, I have to look into this guy further." Dr Paul makes a great point that we are concerned about Iran but not concerned about what walks over our borders. Oreilly would have had no arguement there. OReilly, Fox News, Bill Mahr, Mike Huckabee and who won a "debate" are of little importance. These are not the battles we care about.
We have to reach new people and get them to inquire about Dr Paul further, exactly how many of us have come to be interested. Not fair and balanced? So what? We need the exposure and use it our advantage. Everyone recognizes we have to get beyond the internet and these interviews give a chance to do it.
History lesson
.
When Napoleon complained to the Governor of St. Helena about his conditions as a prisoner, the Governor, Sir Hudson Lowe, snapped, "I did not come here to receive a lesson."
Napoleon replied, "That's no proof that you do not need one."
.
I hope Dr. Paul wisely chooses to side-step future encounters with members of the media mafia. He can do better elsewhere.
yes & no
while it stirs up anger to see the media dangling a carrot for what we hope will be an honest interview, i think we also need to consider that the zombie followers of the status quo won't consider RP for president; however, there may be others who are seeking wisdom with an open mind, see the bias, and thereafter want to take a deeper look into the man, and the message.
...but it is frustrating
No time for a history lesson - just bomb 'em.
Bill has no time for a history lesson, but that doesn't stop him from forming an opinion and proselyting to the world: "Bomb ‘em!"
Kick the dog, and shot it when it barks at you.
Great job, Dr. Paul!!
How about this song ...

Billow Wryly
Oh... if only he did billow wryly, he might be easier to tolerate, but unfortunately he simply bloviates aimlessly, interrupts constantly, and arrogantly rejects the need for "a history lesson." In fact, we could ALL use more lessons in history, as it is much safer than repeating the same mistakes year after year.

Coincidence?
It was not a conscious effort on my part, but I stopped watching "the factor" after I discovered the message of Ron Paul. This was a no win situation from the beginning for Dr. Paul. The fact that Ron Paul was blown off while attempting to give sound historical information was right up Bill's alley; "We don't need the history lesson." The irony is that "we" do need the history lesson. The entire campaign for me has prompted me to delve deeper into history. Dr. Paul's book "A Foreign Policy of Freedom" illustrates that he has tried to be a voice of reason throughout the past three decades. Guinness should research whether or not he holds the World Record for "being able to say, 'I told you so', but not."
Ron Paul is a True Patriot; No one can "Spin" that!
"If the message is Liberty, promote it shamelessly!"
---------------------------------------------------
Paul took the "debate", Billy couldn't hold his premise
O'Reilly just met, forehead to forehead, Ron Paul...
Bill tried to frame the debate and Paul explained how O'Reilly's framed premise is flawed and made the point, in spite of interruptions, that the problem is not fundamental to Islam it is our policy toward Islam that is flawed!
It was tit-for-tat with Paul coming out on top... I would love to watch them debate for an hour or so and watch Ron Paul wear O'Reilly down to a nub... which would be the result!
Being an old debate judge...
O'Reilly's interruptions as attempts at maintaining power over the answers... in effect herding Paul toward a pre-conceived position he set up in his framing of the argument, was shot pieces by the time of Paul's third statement...
O'Reilly would try to recover his original premise with his, I'm the host and we'll do it my way pushiness and attitude... but it was too late, that was all fluff and bloviating bluster for audience appeal...
The debate had already been turned by Paul to his favor and was heading in the right direction long before O'Reilly made his, "we don't need a history lesson" comment... Watch it again and pay no attention to O'Reilly... just watch Paul... Some complicated wheels are turning inside that man...

50/50 O'Reilly tried but failed, Ron Paul didnt look his best..
Personally (as from my subject line) I was *very* pleased to see Ron Paul hold his own against a blustering overbearing nit-wit of a neocon. I *knew* he was being set up and agonized the moment I heard he was to appear on the O'Reilly factor. Whatever possessed the good doctor. To a previous poster, "no I dont think the good Dr. needs debating skills" he's a great debater and his looking right and left was realization that he did make a mistake and stepped into the Lion's Den. He was trying to be picked apart, overridden, insulted, etc... BUT he did hold his own against O'Reilly which is HOLDING YOUR OWN AGAINST THE DEVIL. I mean if you can stand head to to with Bill on his show and come out even, then you can go to ANY DEBATE and come out ahead because the people there are 100 times more intelligent than Bill is. Again, he's a blustering idiot and actually said once (I believe) "alright, I'll give you that point there!"
Anyway, like everyone is saying, any exposure is bound to bring even a few people over... but I can say I am relieved as hell that the good Dr. got out of there with only his shoes smoking... Bill is an idiot, who leads other idiots and what could have been a disaster turned into a draw! Now the Dr. can go into any debate KNOWING he held his own against the devil himself!
Dr. Paul should have
Dr. Paul should have succinctly stated that withdrawing from Iraq was no danger to Israel because Israel has nuclear weapons. He should have also made the point that the US has no duty to send soldiers to defend Israel. He should have also said that if Israel wants peace there, it should stop brutalizing the people in the areas it occupies.

paul did great
you can see Dr. Paul biting his tongue. it took every ounce of strength to not rip Oreilly a new one. Paul knows he's right, and Paul knows that everyone thinks Oreilly is a complete Jackass. Paul got some press, took on the beast, and came out way better than a lot of guests i've seen on the show. Paul could have gotten into a shouting match, but that's exactly what they wanted. Instead he was cool and calm and let the propaganda go right by him.
Gotta take down the machine from the inside out! Way to go Dr Paul!
The MSM aren't even listening to their own Experts
Charles Pena takes the words right out of Ron Paul's mouth in his article today at, http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=2025 and gee, it even sounds like he is defending Congressman Paul's remarks in the Huckabee parlay during the FOX debate. They would do well to listen to their own experts, considering Mr. Pena's credentials. History isn't O'Reilly's only weak subject. Pena sums it up astutely,
"If we are unable to admit that some of our policy choices are wrong, how can we hope to correct them? Certainly, al-Qaida—not Americans or American society—is solely responsible for the death and destruction of those attacks. But the U.S. government must be held accountable for ill-conceived policies that have helped motivate terrorism.
U.S. foreign policy that results in unnecessary military intervention—the Balkans under President Clinton and Iraq under George W. Bush—is one of the main causes of the virulent anti- American sentiment fueling terrorism.
To understand what the U.S. government could have done better to prevent Sept. 11 and to understand how we might prevent future terrorist attacks, we need to adopt a more humble foreign policy, as candidate Bush advocated in 2000. That responsibility rests squarely in the Oval Office, not at CIA headquarters in Virginia."
'...truth is loved in such a way that those who love some other thing want it to be the truth, and precisely because they do not wish to be deceived, are unwilling to be convinced that they are deceived." --- St. Augustine, Confessions (10:23), 5th c.
o'reilly = liar
i disagree about the o'reilly cool factor. the concerted effort underway by this and similar fox shows, where rudy, mitt, or fred are the annointed ones, is to ask RP questions by misrepresenting his position and then talk over the response.
o'reilly, the liar says:
"you didn't even want to go into afganistan to punish those people, did you?"
the dr. shoots back:
"you're wrong. bill, you're wrong on that. i voted for that [troops to afganistan]. so you be careful in your quotes..."
o'reilly, the liar says:
"well, in a debate you said you don't want to be there [now]..."
now, isn't that the face of an evil empire?
o'reilly = fox = liar.
O'Really, O'Reilly
Who got what out of this crap...? How weird.
Shock induced sound bites.
I felt sorry for Dr.Paul having to fight this bulldog on his turf.
I think his ratings are due to the competition's incompetence
O'Reilly & Keith Olbermann seem almost in a contest for who can be the biggest jerk. I missed the Dr. Paul segment so I'll watch it later, but it's a wonder some TV network doesn't learn. I guess authoritarian populists are popular, but one thing's for sure before I even watch: We DO need a history lesson -- especially those who claim we don't need one...The Founders had wisdom, and we've strayed from it to our peril.
JMR
This just proves that
the full court press is on for war with Iran. Let's see, this past week we've had another tape from Bin Laden and assuming he's still alive, the experts tell us he's in Pakistan which has nuclear weapons. But Bill ignores that and instead obsesses on Iran which was willing in mid 2003 (right after the 'fall' of Baghdad) to cut deals with the US about everything - nuclear research, Al Queda prisoners, etc and it likely still is. Cheney and the other neocons quickly shut the diplomatic doors because the game plan called for isolating Iran and agitating for war. We've seen this playbook before.
O'Reilly - Paul
Before I saw the so called interview, I heard that RP lookded bad. After viewing it, I don't think that was the case. O'Reilly is usually ruder to his guests, but he was only about a 7 in rudeness tonight. Ultimately, he didn't make RP look bad although he tried, but just got him exposure to get him more votes. That being said, it wasn't the best I've seen Dr. Paul and O'Reilly is a confirmed jackass. All in all, it was a draw with Ron Paul benefiting by getting more exposure.
I can now feel good about never watching the "Factor" again. No loss there!

Terrorism increased when we went there. According to O'Reilly it will increase if we leave. I don't get it.

Terrorism
Because it will increase in the short term. There are more pissed off people in the mideast because of this war than before it. I think Ron Paul's point is that we need a long-term appraoch that reduces the number of reasons for them to think terrorism is a good idea.
btw...Did you see Stephen Colbert tonight? Great quote: "Ron Paul said things that thunk right in my head bone. Huckabee said something that felt right in my gut". Really funny.
Saw O'Reilly show with Dr. Ron Paul again
They showed the O'Reilly show again at 10 p.m. here in Texas and I didn't notice it the first time but Bill is really a rude idiot. Ron Paul really did a great job and I wasn't surprised as he always holds his own and some and gets more supporters each time. Great job Ron!! DO RUN RON
dodobogo
O'Reilly
Hey guys, it's kind of easy for your message to get lost, when the last two or three sentences in the point you are trying desperately to deliver are cut off by Bill O!!!
The CFR was surely in his ear saying.: "ok now, if he starts talking about the Bush administration or military people being killed, just cut him off"
FYI....That is not really journalism. I had a surreal moment tonight as I was listening to Bill OReilly and his cronies. I really felt like I was watching a fictional TV program with actors trying to convince us that we are all "loons",
Granted, maybe Tim Robbins, and Rosie O'donnell have their numbers all wrong regarding civilian deaths, but why does that make it any better??? The fact is that they are waking up whether the have all their info correct or not. This is communist type of propaganda at it's finest. The funny thing is, I have started mentioning the bias to other people I work with..they always say, Ah, come on...is this a conspiracy theory??? Then a week later, the same people come up to me and say, Hey, you were right...I just never saw it before. People are waking up!
Delivery
I feel some of Dr. Paul's message gets lost in his delivery. I personally thought he looked a little nervous and came across as harsh. I thought he was making all of the right points, but I think it may be turning some people off to his message by being a little rough around the edges.
Everyone knows that Bill is a jackass and frustrating, but presidential candidates need to project that they can handle themselves in these types of situations. Bill Clinton does this masterfully and is why he looks like he wins debates without saying anything of substance.
Getting elected takes more than having good ideas. I'm not suggesting he change his message at all, but I do think he might benefit by adjusting his delivery. Most people thought Nixon beat Kennedy that listened to the debate on radio, but those that watched it on TV thought Kennedy won.
Please consider that the people of this board watch Ron Paul with a lot more attention to details and are rooting for him. Consider someone who does not know who he is. Ask a friend to watch him in this debate and get his or her impression? Ask if they even remember facts. I would bet that most people will only remember their emotional response to seeing how he responded to Bill...not what he said.
Thoughts?
Yes Delivery
The point of going on a show like this is to interest viewers in the cause. No one is going to change Oreilly's positions and his positions are known going in. Rude and arrogant, who knew? That is his schtick.
What Oreilly does have is an audience of millions who probably are new to Dr Paul. The message must be delivered in short sound bites that people will latch onto and search for more on their own. Most communication is non verbal so the message has to be given confidently by looking directly into the camera. Dr Paul is unmatched on the house floor or in a short speech, now to reach many more people that will have to be distilled into short concise points, "Iran, Bill? Why we still have not gotten Osama and that is the reason we went into Afganistan in the first place. Even if another invasion was constitutional we couldn't afford it. As you know Bill we are going broke at home." There should be no snarky e-mails sent to Fox, Oreilly gave the opportunity to address his audiance, who with some eduacation would be supporters. Perhaps just thank him for having Dr Paul on and you hope to see him again.
"Thanks Bill, I look forward to being on again, perhaps lets dicuss illegal immigration, I know you are concerned about that."
All of this is Monday morning quarterbacking but to win we will need to capitalize on every oportunity!
"Presentation of RP"
I give Dr. Paul a well-earned "B"
A tough interview on Bill's Turf. The debate is so fast, many rapid fire questions, with sound control (amplified perhaps and perfectly arranged) in Bill's hand. I think Dr. Paul got thru to some, but remember in speech class (not debate team) 60-70% is how you look, 20-30% on how you sound, and 10% on content unfortunately.

Re: Delivery
I feel that his delivery was pretty solid. I do agree that his public speaking and body language could be better, but he handled himself well. Ron Pauls message didn't get lost in the delivery, it got lost in Bill's cutting him off. I watched many videos of the O'Reilly factor before tonight. I expected Bill to do the show solely based on Iran and the Iraq Report. I even predicted to a friend that Bill would question Pauls devotion to the Republican party, but Bill presented the story fairer than I expected. At least Bill realizes that Paul stands for what USED to be the Republican party (Bill being perhaps the foremost proprietor of the neocons).
I think those of us on this
I think those of us on this board watched the exchange more astutely than most viewers because we are behind Ron. I'm going to run this by friends that don't know who he is and get their impression.
For the record - time allowed to speak (and voice quality)
I timed the interview, and they each spoke exactly the same amount. 169 seconds each. It's not that the interview was "unfair" or "rude" because this is how O'Reilly always does his show, and that's not a secret.
It was much more "worthless" than "unfair" because Bill interrupted Ron Paulo right in the middle of his answer to the main question "Why are we better off pulling out than staying?"
If you only see the YouTube clip, you miss the opening Talking Points memo in which Bill states that as the one question he wants answered.
Also - Ron Paul's voice sounded fine on live TV.
I posted details of the timing on my blog: http://jeffready.blogspot.com/
I hate to say it...
...but I thought Ron Paul was given decent time to respond (more than Bill usually allows). O'Reilly's format is to ask a very specific and leading question that requires the responder to:
a.) Agree
b.) Disagree
c.) Reframe the question
The question is asked in a way that if the responder diasagrees, then there is no way to look good. Ron Paul tried to reframe the question. This tactic is tough to deliver, because Bill attacks you as soon as you start it.
Bill's body language
Bill has had someone come on from time to time and talk to him about body language during his interviews with other people. I think I remember this gal talking about him and the finger pointing that he is so fond of doing. Fact is that it is very rude to do so. Paul only did this when Bill LIED about Paul stating that he didn't want to go into Afghanistan. I think the sound was o.k., but Paul did sound a bit muffled.
Look, to all the people stating that he needs to look or sound better, he's been on the campaign trail since how long? No matter how determined and enthusiatic you are, there are going to be good days and not so good days. I thought he did well.
You know, it's Bill's show and Bill will do his usual schtick and insert words in people mouth's or push a one-sided question that can't be answered in a sound bite, but has the appearance of a "yes" or "no" answer.
Paul's Voice
Did Ron Paul's voice lack bass? Or is it just the speakers in my computer? Just didn't sound like Paul's usual voice to me.
voice
His voice sounded fine on live TV. Must be a YouTube/computer issue.
If your going to write to O'Reilly
If you are going to write into O'Reilly PLEASE do so with the same type of candor that Ron Paul approaches a debate. This interview can be used as arsenal against the campaign by posting your replies on air tomorrow night; most likely in the most ridiculous item of the day segment if you don’t watch out. Fox knows they are up against a tough man in Dr. Paul, but your comments can be taken out of context, or shown as attacking the interviewer. They only select a few to show so your comments can make us ALL look like fringe idiots. They want to marginalize us and Dr. Paul. Do not let that happen by acting like an A$$!!!

I'm sorry!
Sorry for calling names!
I do not intend to write to O'Reilly, and for those who do I completely agree
to be very respectful and be careful what you say!!
I did not intend for that name to be used in any correspondence!
Again my apologies!!!

Why all the doom and gloom? I think it was a good day!
I especially liked the Dr. turning Bill's strategy back on him. He told Bill he was living in a fairytail land. All Bill could reply was, no you're living in a fairytale land. It was great. And he forcefully corrected O'rielly on his record and the real reason we went into Afhganistan. Bill definately could not hang on the points and came off as incoherent. I wouldnt say either party got "Owned" though. And this will sharpen the doctors teeth a bit and expand his exposure. I really don't think we were gonna lose to many of Bill's viewers but we may have gained some.

I thought Paul did well
Just watched, thought he got his points accross inspite of Bill....would like to see RP on a show that is a little more intelligent, ....I guess we have to go where the sheep flock.
As for Iran..... it seems as though the Bushies have them lined up next to be "broken", so guess we will have to "buy" them also .. NOT....... I am so embarassed of my Party sometimes.
As a father of three, when my kids went into a store where things could get broken, I told them to keep their hands in their pockets.... "no touching" It is time we tell our government the same thing.
Maybe it is time for a phone calling campaign to the White House and our Congress... If we do it all at the same time and NOT mention we are RP's it would overwhelm them. We can't wait for 2008 election.... it will be too late.
Ron Paul cannot be expected to do it by himself, this interview demonstrates the efforts that the neo-cons are putting into it. We need to redouble our efforts also...... think outside the box.
We fight not only for Ron Paul, we fight for the soul of our country..... win or lose this election, we will still have to fight more.
Dr. Paul should be careful: 60 Minutes is planned
.
Though Dr. Paul did well in the interview, he did not look comfortable and who can blame him? To face O'Reilly live is no easy task.
That is why I hope Dr. Paul does not participate with a 60 Minutes piece. They have one advantage that O'Reilly does not have: the ability to edit the videotape and skew the piece. This is what they do.
CBS, owned by Westinghouse (a major defense contractor) is vigorously pro-war (despite pot-shots to give the appearance of fairness). They do not like Dr. Paul, and will lure him with a promise of a "fair" piece. They will lie. Dr. Paul could be smeared badly. This is what CBS does.
I hope someone from Dr. Paul's campaign or family will be able to talk him out of participating in any 60 Minutes piece.
The Winner should Act Like a Winner.
Are you kidding? There is no avoiding the "attack phase" of acceptance. Recall, at first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then they have "always" agreed with you. SO 100% YES to 60 minutes! YES, YES, YES. They can edit all they like, they can do the extreme close up, they can style it however they like. The message is so strong it will carry well.
Now about Dr. Paul. During the O'Rielly "interview", Ron's eyes were looking left to right and back again. Why? That is something the Campaign manager needs to review with Ron Paul, and I hope they catch that. Normally Ron does not do that.
Now on to another point, I think it would be wise for Ron Paul to start "Assuming the Sale". By that I mean he needs to be more assured when speaking. We have all seen him around us, at his birthday, and other places. His slower, confident tone needs to maintained during the attack, rather than a stressing tone trying to get a word in edgewise. I have see O'Rielly and Hannity both stumble when this tactic is taken. Once an interviewee said at the end, nice to get your views on things, next time maybe you will listen to mine. Ron is the winner of the Fox Debates, he can always point that out. He can turn the tables and ask why can't the other campaigns get their base excited enough to vote? (Yes, rub it in Faux's face). Now is time to act like the WINNER during this attack phase. When O'Rielly says he does not need a history lesson, or Hannity says let me tell you some history, then it is time to smile and do the Milton Friedman little chuckle, find a point of agreement and start from there, as the rightful superior in the debate.
Romney, Guiliani and Fred Thompson always acts the winner, yet they know they are far from it. This act is what attracts many of the Fred Heads. But the Fred Heads are Dead Heads, Romney is a scary chamelion, McCain has no grass roots support willing to stand in the rain for him, and Guiliani is the MOST RELAXED at "being the winner" that it just fools people.
I have seen Ron Paul relaxed, the winner, full of confidence and speaking with ease, ..... He can do it again during a 60 minutes interview. Go ahead Ron, be your relaxed confident self, you are a winner! Treg
Great point
Great point, Treg. Ron's message is too strong for any deceitful tactics to overcome. As long as he continues to realize that, and as long as we stay positive and show a strong front on his behalf, he will always exude that calm confidence we're used to.
60 minutes interview.
If I were Ron, I would not do a 60 minutes piece unless I had a written contract which HE would supply to them stating these terms (at a minimum):
A. ) That either they (60 minutes) air the entire interview uncut or, that the Paul campaign have final approval over any "editing" that is done.
B) That in independent camera be allowed, furnished, and operated during the entire interview by the Paul campaign and over which the Paul campaign retains all rights of possession, distribution and contents of that tape. This will help to verify that the interview was aired un-cut per the contract and that if they pull any crap, it could be countered.
C) Violation of the terms of the contract will result in CBS paying the Ron Paul campaign 100 million dollars, immediately (as in the day after it airs) and without any court challenge. (that should set the campaign up for the duration).
D) that the specifics of the contract could not be challenged in any court in any state of the united states or in any federal court.
E) That only the enforcement of the contract be allowed by the courts in the form of a judgement against CBS in favor of the Paul campaign.
The contract is to be signed by the entire board of directors of the parent company of CBS. If they refuse to sign it, tell them to stuff their interview. Ron Paul knows full well what Dan Rather did to Samoza and should fully guard against the same happening to him.
B is doable
The Campaign should be able to get item B, .... the rest is wishful thinking. Even if the Campaign cannot do item B, it would be ELECTIFYING if there was an under cover camera on the under cover news 60 minutes. Now thats a hot You-tube video. Get those cell phones ready, aim and record away.
Ron Paul has nothing to fear, but fear itself. Don't sweat the big media. You are there, you are 72, ...enjoy it Ron, you've earned it.
I understand that they would never agree which was my point.
They are hacks. They (60 minutes) rehabilitated Clintons campaign with an interview and totally destroyed the lawfully elected government of a southern neighbor with an interview (which led to a communist regime that lasted several years). They can make or break any candidate for office with what goes on in their cutting room. The major news networks are CFR controlled and Ron Paul is the worst enemy of their globalony ideals. If anyone thinks for 1 minute that he won't get the same treatment the duly elected president of Nicaragua did, they are living in a fantasy world. If they refuse to sign a contract with terms similar to what I've outlined he should tell them to go pound sand. It's as simple as that. They won't sign it obviously, and that should be all the evidence RP needs to verify that their intentions are less than honorable and to tell them to stuff it. They also can't come back later and accuse him of avoiding them because he could say he made an offer to do it and they refused, regardless of the terms of the offer. It's just not worth the risk.
Paul.
W.W.J.D. FOX?
I agree completely with Congressman Paul and truely believe he is educating the American people on the truth. The majority of the people support pulling the troops because we have awaken to the fact that the Bush machine has lied to the American people and continues to skirt the truth. The people have every right to know what is going on and Ron Paul is the only person man enough to look the People in the eye knowing that he will be mocked, laughed at, ridiculed, and betrayed by his own party in order to speak the truth about what's really happening here to America and our liberties. W.W.J.D. We all know that the mainstream media is owned by the Major Corporations promoting fascism, which gives the "No Spin Zone" a new spin on things! P.s. I'm a Republican
Interview II
I'll bet you orielly hasnt seen rating like that in 5 yrs.. hope he noticed the big drop afterwards.

Ron, please plug your websites and encourage people to visit and read your positions on the issues without spin.

Olberman MSNBC Beat O'Reilly on 9--6-07 in ratings
Countdown with Olberman beat The Un-Factor in ratings last Friday
night as announced by Olberman on his show tonight.
After this fiasco tonght I hope we all lamblast O'Reilly through e-mails.
Still for the short time he had to talk the good Doctor let him know
the REAL problem in Iraq.
"Freedom is a right that can never be won in war,only by each individual "
I just got reminded why I don't watch O'Reilly any more.
He's so full of shit that his eyes are brown.
