Michael Moore on the O'Reilly factor...

[estranged4life]

tomorrow night at 8PM EST/7PM CST, This should be "sweet"...Gotta watch this episode.

[DeeGeMe]

I love Mike but I refuse to even turn my TV to Faux. Bill will probably cut off his microphone anyway.

[strandinthewind]

Actually last time they got along and Bill O. agreed with MM on several things. It was by no means caustic. So, we shall see this time around.

[dissention]

That's because O'Lielly knows that Moore could verbally beat the **** out of him.

Anyone see Dean poking at Hannity last night? I almost died.

Hannity went over to him, shoved a mic in his face, and Dean said "Go see 'Outfoxed,' you'll see why people like you say what you say." Then he laughed at Hannity and walked off.

Hannity then tried to accost Janeane Garofalo and Same Seder but they blew him off and said ont heir show that "he wears more pancake make-up than Lucille Ball in the 40s."

On MSNBC, Tweety Matthews was being a real ass, a real GOP whore, and Wes Clark told him "Can't you lay off the script for once and really play hardball?" Then Tweety tried to suggest that CLinton did nothing for the women of this country and the crowd booed him and someone yelled "ASSHOLE!"

AND - Ann Coulter was fired from USA Today because they called her columns "unfunny" and "unreadable."

These people don't understand that that **** won't fly around these parts.

[CarneVaca]

Chris Matthews is a tool. But he's right about Clinton. I've been saying it since 1996: Clinton set the women's movement back at least a couple of decades, and the stupid-ass running NOW at the time went right along with him.

[strandinthewind]

LOL - poor Annnie C. I do not agree with her, but I did agree with the general comment that what the hell did USA think they were gonna get when they hired her AND - I loved her comment that "I guess people in hotels and airports around the world will not get to read me"

Here is AC's rejected column - Personally - I think it is funny, but others will now I know

USA Today
Put The Speakers In A Cage
July 26, 2004
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 emblazened 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 UN 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. W'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% 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.

Jason, this is funny to you?

We are becoming so coarse and vicious in our rhetoric. Doesn't that bother you?

(I fully realize I neeed to duck now as all the charges of hypocrisy get lobbed at me. To you I say peemptively: "STICK IT!" )

Anne Coulter is trash.

[estranged4life]

now O'Reilly will also have Ben Ass-crack (Or is it Affleck???) on tonite...Hey Ben, Does ya ass hurt from the beating J-ho gave ya? (If there's anything J-Ho knows, Then that would be ASS)

I guess it boils down to me thinking she is being funny - she is using it as emphasis - it sells her point. I think the same thing about MM. When I DARED awhile back to assert I thought his style was offensive, people attacked me for expressing my opinion - they thought I was attacking him. I still think MM is mostly offensive in his presentation - but I get he uses that emotion to sell his point, which few would listen to it he played it straight. I think Ann C is doing that as well - she knows her rehtoric sells. So, I just chalk it up to humor and am done with it. I try to look for the real message underneath the advertising.

He's only giving him 8 minutes. I'd rather watch Ron Reagan speak on stem cell research and Obama's speech. I've yet to see Obama.

Ben was very articulate on the issues with Larry King last night. He, Pat Kennedy and Al Sharpton frustrated the hell out of Tucker Carlson.

Poor Tucker - I LOVE when Carville calls him "son"

I see a huge difference. She comes from a position of bile, hacking everything in her path. Moore is trying to right something he perceives as wrong and resorts to some belittling and sarcasm to accomplish it. He's far more honorable, though.

To quote "Gypsy" - "ya gotta have a gimmick - if you wanna get ahead" - they do somewhat come from different places, I agree. But, the gimmick and their effective use of it is what I am talking about.
