So Michael Moore is going to be on the O'Reilly Factor tonight

[The_wall]

This should be interesting hehe. I think Michael Moore will have a good 15 maybe 20 seconds to talk before he's told to "shut up! just shut the hell up! You're unamerican!"

[Averett]

Oh wow, really? That might just be worth watching

[Superbelt]

Ba psch, Sean Hannity is on Al Franken's show right now

That's cats and dogs in a small cage.
And it's getting kinda ugly.

[absorbentishe]

Definately worth watching tonight then...

[Paq]

for one night for me not to have cable...

ok, so it's a month w/out tv...oh well

DAMN!!!
i can't believe i'm gonna miss this..

I do bet oreilly calls him unamerican at least once
and that the interview will become..heated.

Crap, can't get the streaming audio to work

[Charlatan]

Why is Moore even bothering? It is just going to be O'Reilly yelling at him... better to leave well enough alone.

Michael Moore is an
Attention Whore; he can't resist
the primetime telly.

[Superbelt]

Michael and Bill met at the Convention. Bill asked Michael when he would do his show, Michael said after Bill finishes watching F 9/11. Bill said he did and Mike apparently took him at his word and agreed.

They laid down terms on how the format will go. They alternate asking questions of each other. Bill promised to air the entire thing unedited.

So's O'Reilly. He knows this will get his show monster ratings. And isn't all really about the ratings?

[wonderwench]

O'Reilly already has the highest rated news program on cable and of course he wants to increase his viewership. I doubt he would deny it.

I'd like to see Moore and the Dems admit that Moore is part of their political machine. The claims of his being a documentarian ring hollow when he can be seen sitting in the presidential box at the Dem Convention.

Nice haiku! (One syllable too long, but damn cute anyhow!)

What on earth would be the point of watching this debacle? You KNOW what each of them is going to say - they're both more predictable than the fucking sunrise. It'll be like watching an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies (gosh, I never expected Jethro to do something dumb!) or 3's Company, only louder and more obnoxious and with no attractive women to look at. Don't waste a precious hour of your life on this painful rhetorical sideshow - go outside and...I dono...walk your dog, or eat some ice cream or something.

[Kadath]

wonderwench, surely if a newsman can have staunch political views, a documentarian can too?

I am looking forward to watching this. I watch TOF from time to time, and it appears the time has come back around.

ohh my it gets better.

Hour 2:
Michael Moore and Ann Coulter
Bill faces off with Michael Moore at the DNC, and talks to Ann Coulter about her experience with USA Today concerning the DNC.

Ann Coulter!

[Superbelt]

Rather Moore in a skybox than what the Republicans have: Falwell giving the invocation on the first night of the convention.

[wonderwench]

Off topic but I can't resist.

The U.S. was founded on Judeo Christian values - to ignore the role of religion in defining a moral framework is to deny history.

Laws that are not based upon a moral structure end up as the arbitrary tools of totalitarians.

What does that have to do with Moore being on The O'Reilly Factor?

Not this tired old argument/mantra...again. And, yes it's way off topic. So far off that you'd need a map to find it. It's not relevant whatsoever to the thread, so let's do a "U" turn right now. Before it gets ugly.

[cthulu23]

And no one exemplifies moral behavior better than Falwell, right? Maybe gays and the ACLU really are to blame for 9-11! Anyway, let's get back on topic......

[the_marq]

Man, these guys are both knobs of epic proportions. I hope to see a review of it here tomorrow as I can't get the O'Reily show in Canada.

[roachboy]

crap--i have to teach tonight.

ah well.....o'reilly is an epic tool and watching him is always an irritant--maybe i'll check in here for postgame nonsequitors and that will prompt me perhaps to watch the thing online.

nice to see, in a way, that the nonsequitor generator is turned fully on here--judeo-christian values? with reference to law? otherwise a tool for totalitarians? wtf?

[Bill O'Rights]

Let it go.

[losthellhound]

yay screaming matches! These "match-ups" are nothing more then stunts, but hey, its promoting both people.. thats what modern media is all about

[ARTelevision]

BTW, Sean Hannity on Al Franken's show was a civil and illuminating dialog - on the part of both men.

[kutulu]

I'm looking forward to seeing Moore talk with O'Reily. Now I'll just have to convince my wife to watch it...

I laughed my ass off when I read about the USA today incident. The aritcle in question is on world net daily. It's a total piece of trash. What else could you expect from that skinny whore?

[seretogis]

Let's hope that when Moore, Coulter, and O'Reilly are in the same building some sort of political implosion takes place which causes the three of them to disappear.

Not to single out kutulu...but, I'm going to anyway. I want the discussion in here raised to a higher level on the maturity-meter than what I've been seeing. It's not just this thread, it's not just kutulu...it's rampant throughout the politics board, and enough is enough. Of what possible value did the above quoted statement add to the post? None. And it's inflammatory. It takes an otherwise good post, and reduces it to one degree above an outright troll. It ends now, people.

[pan6467]

It does sound like an interesting show.

As for Ann Coulter, I remember Al Franken was on Larry King or someone and they asked him about the people in his book Lying Liars.

Franken ripped a little on O'Reilly but nothing serious. But when Ann's name came up Franken said it was funny, he would talk to GOP people and they told him anything he wanted to say about Ann was the truth... that even GOP insiders found her totally nuts.

[SLM3]

Here's the Coulter article from WorldNetDaily:

Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston, conservatives are deploying a series of covert signals to identify one another, much like gay men do. My allies are the ones wearing crosses or American flags. The people sporting shirts emblazoned with the "F-word" are my opponents. Also, as always, the pretty girls and cops are on my side, most of them barely able to conceal their eye-rolling.

Democrats are constantly suing and slandering police as violent, fascist racists – with the exception of Boston's police, who'll be lauded as national heroes right up until the Democrats pack up and leave town on Friday, whereupon they'll revert to their natural state of being fascist, racist pigs.

A speaker at the Democratic National Convention this year, Al Sharpton, accused white police officers of raping and defacing Tawana Brawley in 1987, lunatic charges that eventually led to a defamation lawsuit against Sharpton, and even more eventually to Sharpton paying a jury award to the defamed plaintiff Steve Pagones. So it's a real mystery why cops wouldn't like Democrats.

As for the pretty girls, I can only guess that it's because liberal boys never try to make a move on you without the U.N. Security Council's approval. Plus, it's no fun riding around in those dinky little hybrid cars. My pretty-girl allies stick out like a sore thumb amongst the corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie-chick pie wagons they call "women" at the Democratic National Convention.

Apparently, the nuts at the Democratic National Convention are going to be put in cages outside the convention hall. Sadly, they won't be fighting to the death as is done in W.W.F. caged matches. They're calling this the "protestor's area," although I suppose a better name would be the "truth-free zone."

I thought this was a great idea until I realized the "nut" category did not include Sharpton, Al Gore, Bill Clinton and Teddy Kennedy – all featured speakers at the convention. I'd say the actual policy is only untelegenic nuts get the cages, but little Dennis Kucinich is speaking at the Convention, too. So it must be cages for "nuts who have not run for president as serious candidates for the Democratic Party."

Looking at the line-up of speakers at the Convention, I have developed the 7-11 challenge: I will quit making fun of, for example, Dennis Kucinich, if he can prove he can run a 7-11 properly for 8 hours. We'll even let him have an hour or so of preparation before we open up. Within 8 hours, the money will be gone, the store will be empty, and he'll be explaining how three 11-year olds came in and asked for the money and he gave it to them.

For 20 years, the Democrats wouldn't let Jimmy Carter within 100 miles of a Convention podium. The fact that Carter is now their most respectable speaker tells you where that party is today. Maybe they just want to remind Americans who got us into this Middle East mess in the first place. We've got millions of fanatical Muslims trying to slaughter Americans while shouting "Allah Akbar!" Yeah, let's turn the nation over to these guys.

With any luck, Gore will uncork his speech comparing Republicans to Nazis. Just a few weeks ago, Gore gave a speech accusing the Bush administration of deploying "digital Brown Shirts" to intimidate journalists and pressure the media into writing good things about Bush – in case you were wondering where all those glowing articles about Bush were coming from.

The last former government official to slake his thirst so deeply with the Kool-Aid and become a far-left peacenik was Ramsey Clarke and it took him a few years to really blossom. Clinton must have done some number on Gore. Then again, with his yen for earth tones in a man's wardrobe, maybe Gore's references to "Brown Shirts" was intended as a compliment.

Only one major newspaper – the Boston Herald – reported Gore's "Brown Shirt" comment, though a Bush campaign spokesman's statement quoting the "Brown Shirt" line made it into the very last sentence of a Los Angeles Times article. The New York Times responded with an article criticizing "both" Republicans and Democrats for using Nazi imagery. Democrats call Republicans Nazis, the Republicans quote the Democrats calling Republicans Nazis and "both" are using Nazi imagery. (It's a cycle of violence!)

The nuts in the cages are virtual Bertrand Russells compared to the official speakers at the Democratic Convention. On the basis of their placards, I gather the caged-nut position is that they love the troops so much, they don't want them to get hurt defending America from terrorist attack. "Support the troops," the signs say, "bring them home."

That's my new position on all government workers, except the 5 percent who aren't useless, which is to say cops, prosecutors, firemen and U.S. servicemen. I love bureaucrats at the National Endowment of the Arts funding crucifixes submerged in urine so much – I think they should go home. I love public school teachers punishing any mention of God and banning Christmas songs so much – I think they should go home.

Walking back from the convention site, I chatted with a normal Bostonian for several blocks – who must have identified me through our covert system of signals. He was mostly bemused by the Democrats' primetime speakers and told me he used to be an independent, but for the last 20 years found himself voting mostly Republican. Then he corrected himself and said he votes for the "American."

I'd say I love all these Democrats in Boston so much I want them to go home, but I don't. I want Americans to get a good long look at the French Party and keep the 7-11 challenge in mind.

I'm just excited to see two big fat blubbering sensationalists flap their gums. It will be entertaining if anything.

Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston

I'm conservative... but I stopped reading the article right there...

[kutulu]

It's too bad MM and AC won't be on at the same time. I'd love to see that. However, keeping it just Moore and O'Riely will have better debate.

My main problem with AC is that her editorials consistantly lack any shred of evidence to back up her opinions. I would never expect an editorial columnist to present both sides of the story but I'd like her columns to have more to it than "Democrates hate America and want everyone to go gay, oh and by the way they are racists"

She just needs a reality check. A piece like that might fit in with an ulta-extreme right wing publication (even then it's a maybe) but USA is looking for a columnist that is actually going to attack their issues, not just do a bunch of name calling. Seriously, what were they thinking in the first place?

I don't know if anyone knows this, but I think Moore is going to write editorials for USA Today regarding the RNC.

[assilem]

I just read the transcript on Drudge. Link

It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I still want to see it though.

That is interesting. Its good to know that estremists like Coulter can rein in Conservatives and make them think twice, much like Michael Moore sometimes does. It means that no matter how extreme either side gets, there are moderates willing to take a second look and re-evaluate how they feel

You're right. The first half was getting tense but then the exchanges mellowed out and it ended quite well.
I was expecting the worst and was surprised.

Of course Moore is extreme, but he's not extreme like Coulter. I put Moore more on the level of Rush. Both like to inject their own brand of humor and both do make an attempt to provide a factual background to go with their commentary.

[Bill O'Rights]

MUCH better, guys.
