Joe Trippi on The O’Reilly Factor tonight to debate about Cindy Sheehan

[RSchewe]

It looks like Captain Faloofa is looking for anyone he can smear. He struck out against the other mother last week. I guess he is going to keep trying.

I am glad Cindy Sheehan did not go on his show.

1. Discuss?

Since when did O'Reilly "discuss"?

All he is (and others like Limbaugh) is just a right-wing attack machine.

3. Welcome to DU

[RSchewe]

5. LOL, you are right. I should choose my words more carefully with this nut

Oof..

[RSchewe]

9. I guess (debate) is a better word (to be kind) n/t

[Ninga]

2. Look, I love Joe Trippi............but he can be bested in a debate.

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. That does worry me.

[KaryninMiami]

17. Not to worry- I think Joe Trippi will be fine-he can handle O'Reilly fine

I have total confidence in Joe (am a big fan of his) and he's been really helping out Cindy Sheehan (www.joetrippi.com) and Camp Casey. He's bright, he's well spoken, he's strong, he's a good speaker and he'll be able to stand his ground with that asshole O'Reilly.

Should be a good show actually - guess I'll have to to tape Countdown...

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. I really hope you are right. I hope he knocks O'Lielly over

[Gabi Hayes]

16. OReilly will chew up/spit him out....unless he resorts to OR tactics,

in which case, his mike will be cut off

almost always a no win situation

WHY do dems bother to go on these shows

age old question, I know, but WTF?

[Imagevision]

6. This is truly great - the more the right tries to smear Cindy the more

supporters she gains! Limbaugh-Hannity didn't put a dent in Cindy, this is almost unbelievable. Rove smear machine crashed!

[RSchewe]

11. Agreed... n/t

[dogday]

7. This will be a new low for O'Reilly

Slamming the Mother of a fallen soldier always wins hearts and minds. What he doesn't understand is that a lot of us relate to her and think about our own families. He will lose on this one..

[blm]

8. Trippi shouldn't do it, plays right into the RW claim that it's

just politics and with Trippi as a longtime political maneuverer, it helps fortify THEIR claims against Cindy's position.

[RSchewe]

13. I have my doubts as well

Let's hope he will hold his own and sticks to the facts.

[blm]

19. I don't want Trippi on the show AT ALL. It enables the RW to push a LIE

that it's just politics when it's really a mother who is angry that her son was LIED TO HIS DEATH by this president.

[Imagevision]

20. Depends on how Trippi comes across...?

[blm]

22. Doesn't MATTER. Just having him on AUTOMATICALLY makes it political

which is EXACTLY how they are portraying her actions.

[ET Awful]

10. How long 'til O'Liely starts screaming "SHUT UP" at him? n/t

[cally]

12. I read your headline over and over

I kept wondering why Trippi would be on the opposite side of Sheehan. :-)

[RSchewe]

14. I guess you mean it sounds like he is going to debate Cindy...

LOL

Sometimes the character length limit can make the phrases seem the opposite of what they mean.

I did not notice that at first.

Of course I meant Trippi will be debating Capt. Faloofa regarding Cindy Sheehan.

[Gloria]

15. Randi says he's part of the "Cindy is a tool of the left" meme and

played a tape of a RW guy on TV who said that she had a conference call with Trippi and someone else....labeled them Democratic operatives.

Randi rebuts this, but, of course, it's already out there and you can bet O'Reilly will be on this same talking point...

[RSchewe]

21. I don't think Randi knows that the audio of that call is on Trippi's site

Oh well...

She was asking how they knew what was said in that call.
