O’Reilly Calls Peace Activist ‘Lunatic’


Wanna see Bill on the ropes? In this clip, the Fox News host goes head-to-head with WorldCantWait organizer (and sometimes Truthdig contributor) Sunsara Taylor. Unable (or unwilling) to counter her damning facts about the Iraq war, O’Reilly degenerates into name-calling.

Watch it here........

3. this is a beautiful juxtaposition of the neocon vs. progressive debate
O'Dumbass is sitting there tossing out insult after insult. He insults her, the group...everything. He is not citing one specific fact the entire dicussion. His bogus diatribe is offset by Sunsara's calm, collected espousal of the facts. She stays calm and continues noting one fact after another, and all O'Dingbat can do it babble incoherently and call her a 'loon'.


I think we all know who the real loon is in this picture.

7. With the smalll fact that Sunsara Taylor is the former spokeswoman for the Revolutionary Communist
Youth Brigade. She makes good points, but they always bring her on Fox News due to the fact that since she is a Maoist Cult member it immediatley (in the minds of Fox) discredits all causes she is associated with. During Terri Schivo they brought her on with another member of the Revolutionary Communist Party after making the statement Michael Schivo was only supported by a "handful on Communists." She argued against Congress's involvement using the Constitutional concepts like seperation of powers and what not. She made perfect sense. Excellent points. How does the Fox News people respond? They ask her about the RCP and she goes off on a rant about the Revolution. She is an incredibley brilliant and articulent woman no doubt about it, but she harbors some fairly out there views (like I said this is a Maoist cult of personalty around someone named Chairman Bob, even other Communist think they're nuts) and Fox brigns her on for that reason.

8. well, according to bill, we don't exist
none of us that oppose this war exist. That's what he is paid to say, he makes great money for saying it and gets to control the microphone. Jebus, I don't like that man.

9. i love the framing
ALWAYS a 'far left' group. never anti-war.

no facts. just innuendo & slander.

kudos to her for staying on point & not letting him get her riled. i'd reach through the camera & bash him in the head. fascists are the enemy of reason.

10. This shows how much the tides have turned
He can't fight back. He has quite literally nothing to say. He used to have a WMD line, or a line about spreading democracy. All he has got now is namecalling.
