and thanks.

O'Reilly should have him address and phone number listed all over the internet for "concerned citizens."

What I cannot fathom in the deepest, most meaningful sense, is why anyone listens to or agrees with this complete assclown.

It's so damn obvious that he exudes a pure form of hypocritical bigotry. I think he may have created his own life form: the hypobigot.

Gwendolyn: I tried to watch it but Bill's voice makes me get a headache and they were just yelling over each other. What happened?

O'Reilly: Our guest today is a far left abortion rights activist.

Salon woman: Uhh, hi.

O'Reilly: You think Tiller "the baby killer" is a hero, but you have blood on your hands for thinking that.

Salon woman: I think abortion should be legal, right.

O'Reilly: You far left people don't think late term fetuses should have any rights at the federal level.

Salon woman: It should be left to the states.

O'Reilly: You have blood on your hands.

Salon woman: Whatever. [Begins fairly dumb argument about gun rights.]

O'Reilly: You have blood on your hands. This guy killed babies.

Salon woman: To many women, he was a hero.

O'Reilly: Whatever. You have free speech, so, whatever, even though you're a far left nutjob.

Salon woman: Let's talk about speech. You accuse people like Michael Moore of inciting violence with their speech, but then you go call this guy a baby killer and he gets shot. And you bash liberals, and some guy last year shot up liberals in a church. So why the double standard? Don't you feel a little bit of guilt or responsibility?

O'Reilly: ... thank you for being on the program.

Bill O's pretty unflappable and so viewers see what they want to see. I didn't think he got smacked down, either, but she managed to hold hr own, which sometimes is all you can ask for with Bill.

He loses his cool a lot, but he's never speechless and without a retort. To truly have his ass handed to him, someone would have to leave him speechless and without response--and not out of shock. Just flat-out not knowing what to say next.

That's why I really loved the blow up he had at a book signing with Al Franken. I'm too lazy to look for it, but it's out there somewhere. They actually showed it on C-Span - O'Reilly speechless, just getting redder and redder. I was surprised his head didn't assplode.

I closed that after about 15 seconds. The senseless back and forth screaming was just mind numbing.

Wow.. she throws a knockout blow at the end there.

 
GAT_00 [TotalFark] 2009-06-13 04:45:55 PM  
As I said in the other thread, it is about time someone directly called Bill on his hatred. You can directly blame the Knoxville church shooting on him, and Fox did everything they could to ignore that event once it came out that he read O'Reilly's and Hannity's books and rambled on treatises against libs.

I never understand why any liberal would go on that idiots show. You gain nothing, you won't convince any of his sheeple viewers, and it just gives him more undeserved credibility. Just ignore the fool.

 
unclejimbo827 [TotalFark] 2009-06-13 06:23:04 PM  
Her entire response basically consisted of "NO U". How is that ownage?

 
Squawker 2009-06-13 06:28:33 PM  
I watched the segment, they both basically yelled at each other for 10 minutes, but Oreilly didn't debate whether what the doc did was legal or not, he just said it was wrong. Got her to say that that 3rd trimester babies deserved no Federal protection. But she was the one that got her ass handed to her

 
Klingon Penis 2009-06-13 06:28:48 PM  
She should've pointed out that George Tiller was aborted in his 272nd trimester.

Being pro-life means you agree that the government can infringe on your personal autonomy - in other words, tell you what to do with your body.

In this spirit, I hereby decree that all pro-lifers, by government order, have to report immediately for sterilization.

 
J. Frank Parnell 2009-06-13 06:29:19 PM  
Simply being reasonable while someone else is being a frothing moron means you win. Cool heads prevail and all that.

 
Rapmaster2000 2009-06-13 06:31:59 PM  
The key to beating O'Reilly is to calmly finish your sentences and don't get emotional. It's not a logic contest, it's a coolness contest. Make O'Reilly look like a freak and you win. Freak out and you lose.

The point being that legality does not directly correlate to morality in a given situation.

I am strongly pro-choice, but "It's morally right because it's legal" is an insanely insipid argument.

/Still, not surprised Bill O couldn't counter it.

Yeah, I'm as liberal as they come, but they were both pretty obnoxious and very disingenuous. O'Reilly is an asshole, but on at least two occasions he had Walsh weaseling some statement like, "There are some women that think he was.... X Okay, I think he was X."

I don't like O'Reilly, but Walsh is not much better. It's about time for her to move up and onward from Salon, isn't it, or is she going to be its editor for life?

Yes. Completely floored him. His little brain locked out with no comeback.

Sweet.

While I was watching the video, my wife walked by and offered:
"That guy sounds like an idiot."

 
Hastor 2009-06-13 06:38:54 PM  
My favorite part is where Bill says literally "You can say what you say, as vile as you say it, you can say it...and I would never condemn you for saying it" ..then he goes on, without pause, to condemning her for saying it.

 
thenateman 2009-06-13 06:42:51 PM  
I wanted to see O'Reilly get owned, but it didn't happen.

how he has a show is beyond me.

 
FreeLoveFreeway 2009-06-13 06:44:16 PM  
I like how the issue isn't a doctor being gunned down, it's about how late term abortions are killing babies. No one's discussing the Holocaust possibly being a lie since Von Brunn opened fire at the Holocaust Museum.

Point and yell, Bill... point and yell.

Yeah, there wasn't really any 'ownage', just another person frustrating him with logic.

Hender: borg: .... he's never speechless and without a retort. To truly have his ass handed to him, someone would have to leave him speechless and without response--and not out of shock. Just flat-out not knowing what to say next.

He's never speechless, because he cuts off the other person, like he did here, or completely changes the subject.

Even when I agree with something Billo says, which is becoming more and more rare, he can't have a rational discussion with anyone. If you're on his show and you agree with him, he'll kneel down and kiss your ass on air. But if you disagree with him, he gets mad, calls you names, cuts you off and then goes to commercial.

 
Cinaed 2009-06-13 06:49:47 PM  
A lot of emotion from both sides, although she does try to bring the legal perspective in and O'Reilly brushes it aside. He did say 'I'm Sorry' in there regarding Tiller, which may well be the first, and last, time that'll happen.

 
NobleHam 2009-06-13 06:50:50 PM  
"I would never condemn you for saying it... (2 seconds later) ...you have blood on your hands."

Holocaust possibly being a lie? Shiat moran, pick up a history book. Also this, the Doc was a baby killer, and the guy who shot him is a murderer and be sent to prison or executed.

RoyBatty: It's about time for her to move up and onward from Salon, isn't it, or is she going to be its editor for life?

Having Camille Paglia writing for her site, basically insulting every mildly liberal feminist leaning person who reads it, pretty much blows whatever editorial credibility she might have. Calling that "challenging" your readers is like a chef serving you a turd and calling it "challenging your pallet".

Not to start a gun control debate, but if O'Reilly hadn't been, y'know, O'Reilly, her argument actually seemed promising as far as comparing liberal/conservative reactions based on their most lauded issues. Obviously, she got derailed as Billy took it as a subject change rather than a comparison. Actually, he probably knew what was coming and shot her down before she could make her point.

Oh well.

=============================================

No one is saying that. But the killer DID do it because of his morals. Which is wrong.

It's legal. I hate that people are homophobes, should i go down to congress and pump a homophobe full of lead because i disagree morally? No. Because I'm not an extremist.

She pwned him. And she did it live. DO IT LIVE!!!
And he was not speechless. One of his producers started to play her off, and instead of getting the final word, he had a vague "We all know where YOU'RE coming from..." Oooh, the demon liberal!
His time is about up. Just ignore him and he'll loofah himself away

Squawker: Holocaust possibly being a lie? Shiat moran, pick up a history book. Also this, the Doc was a baby killer, and the guy who shot him is a murderer and be sent to prison or executed.

My point is: A doctor is gunned down by an anti-abortionist zealot and Fox News (Bill O'Riley in this case) turns it into a discussion about abortion.

Another zealot who is a Holocaust denier aims to gun people down at a Holocuast museum but you don't see anybody turning it into a discussion about the Holocaust possibly being untrue (as according to the shooter's beliefs).

I'm saying it's retarded that they're brushing an assassination of a doctor at his church under the carpet and validating what the shooter did by shifting the discussion to abortion. Bill O'Riley is wrong.

Farking depressing. Completely farking depressing that millions of people listen to and watch this psychotic freak and agree with him.

Oh, yeah:

B.O.: "I'm not going to condemn you, but you have blood on your hands."

Farking tool.
