O'Really cut me off again, ask me anything!
I was on around 1 o'clock and got in a couple points before he turned my volume down.

Chickenshit.

LA: "Hey Bill, thanks for taking my call. When you started your program out today, you offended me and a lot of other patriotic Americans by stating that we were rooting against our own country by pointing out Bush's failings."

BO: "No, I said if you are,..."

LA: "Well I don't think we're rooting against our own country, we want to bring our soldiers home safely..."

BO: "Andy, Andy, Andy, (I love it when he does that) you're wrong. There are people rooting against the USA who are living here in America. You're wrong, I know these people, I know who they are."

LA: "I think you were painting with a broad brush, but what I would like to say is you again keep bringing up 9/11 in the context of the war with Iraq, and Bush himself has stated that 'No, we've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September the 11th,' so why do you keep bringing up September 11th?"

BO: "Because it's all part of the global war on terror, blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada."

At this point, I've mysteriously gone silent while he gets to spin to his heart's content.

Prick.

2. Interesting
This gives me an idea. Maybe we should set up runs on O'Reilly to run him into the ground. Let's make him spin until he pukes!

3. I heard the exchange
I almost never listen to that lying idiot, but happened to hear that exchange and turned the dial when he said "Because it's all part of the global war on terror . . ."

What a SoS he is.

Good job Andy!

4. He with the mic has the power, even if no brains
I applaude your fortitude, but frankly don't know why you bother with these rightwing call in shows. The guy at the mic has all the power even if he is one tenth your intellect or debating ability. That's the way it's set up. Junkie Limbaugh was another case in point - if he ever got a serious challenge from a caller, he'd start talking over him while gradually potting him down, making it appear as some sort of "victory".

Have you noticed that Limbaugh NEVER exposed himself to a debate format in which he couldn't control the opposition? O'Lielly won't either. That's because they can't pass muster in fair fight.

15. actually he did it once
He went on Letterman and Letterman took him apart. He has never returned to an interview type show.

16. I saw that one, it was great!
Letterman asked him, "Do you ever lay awake at night and wonder if you're just a great big gas bag?"

Outstanding!

5. Good job
You managed to get the essence in--again. Only 2000-3000 more times to wake America from its stupor.

6. You were able to admonish him on the air...
and that was good. Sure, he'll spin like a top after silencing you. But no matter. You got your thought out and that's a positive. Maybe it will get others to call. I like the idea of a number of people calling in from here. Even if they don't let us all on, they'll know they're getting calls with a left leaning opinion.

8. Thanks all! Next time I'm gonna...
make a prediction,

"I predict that you will turn down my volume before we can engage in a meaningful exchange."

7. I heard it too
he said that democrats need and and want things in Iraq to get worse for them to win. And that people like that should leave America

I think that Dean supporters need things in Iraq to get worse or not improve in order to win, but otherwise that's completely untrue.

As a fellow Edwards supporter, it just made my blood boil that he can say that about democrats. Of course, he and all the other whores are investing in the hopes of a Dean nomination anyway.

12. Thats bull
Things are already about as crappy as they can be because of the BFEE, and Dean is tough and honest enough to beat Bush and say it right to his smirking ugly face in debates. I like Edwards too but he IS 'nice'...TOO nice and pretty IMO,and Bush would mock him and make him look like a pansy pantywaist.(I dont think that,but I think Bush would do that). His nasty moron supporters would love it too. DEAN is our ticket to the WH and he is our 'straight talk' express.

But you turn around and spit out the very same accusation against Dean supporters. Seems a little hypocritical to me.

20. So you are insinuating that Dean supporters are not Democrats
I find your post quite offensive even though I have no candidate. You are no better than the one you attack.

hilarious!

Thanks for the laugh, Jim.

Apparently there's a huge swarm of posters willing to LIE about being cut off by O'Reilly, huh?

Why don't you listen to the damn show if you're so interested in the veracity of his comments?
