Scarborough blast o'reilly for being gop Suckup

On the January 4 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, host Joe Scarborough responded to Fox News host Bill O'Reilly's attacks on NBC and MSNBC by asserting that O'Reilly was "way off base on MSNBC, on NBC, and certainly on me. And I challenge you to debate me anytime, anyplace, anywhere." Scarborough further challenged O'Reilly to "find one thing I have said on this program over the past year that is not consistent with the conservative congressman who was against military adventurism when I was in Congress, that was against exploding deficits, that was against reckless spending, and was against turning Congress into the type of swamp that we Republicans have turned it into over the past six years." Concluding, Scarborough stated, "That doesn't make me liberal, that makes me conservative. That may make you, though, a suck-up, if you defend the Republicans that have done that to this country and to our party over the past six years."

Bent over, pants down, ass facing Dubyah if things hold true to form.

The FoxNews/MSNBC rivalry is pretty entertaining. They take potshots at each other all the time.

Man, just think if we only had a 24-hour news network that actually reported the news.

For those of us who's means of income dictate that we can't simply attach a W-2 to 1040EZ, that tv show would be greatly appreciated.

I hope one day BILL O REILLY gets shot walking out of his office

You're quite wrong about Sean - he's blasted this administration plenty on their handling of the illegal immigration problem and on their run-away spending. He's also been very critical of those congressmen caught in scandals.

The difference is he doesn't think the democrats are any better!

No whannity is a GOP apologist. It makes we want to puke when he goes to Iraq and tries to make the war a political issue with the troops. The comment that makes me shudder with anger is when he would approached the troops with "Murtha said the militarily we could not win in Iraq".. implying that Murtha said our troops could not win the war..when his point was the Iraq situation needs to be won politically and and not militarily.. this is just one example.. another when Whannity says " John Kerry said that our troops our terrorists..".. when Kerry stated than our troops should not be put in the position of the busting into houses in the middle of the night giving the residents the impression that they are terrorizing them when the Iraqi troops should be the one's doing the raids"... yet there goes whannity trying to convince these guys that democrats hate the military..truly disgusting..The main reason why I have zero respect for the guy is the way he takes quotes out of context and then purposely misconstrues what people say to make a political point.. I see it 2 ways..either he is stupid and doesn't realize that he is taking things out of context ...or he is dishonest..WHannity is not a stupid man.

They Will Meet: O'Reilly and Colbert

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 2:31 p.m. ET

NEW YORK (AP) -- It may feel like looking into the mirror for Bill O'Reilly and Stephen Colbert next week.

The Fox News Channel host and Colbert, who has essentially based his comic character every evening on Comedy Central on him, will trade appearances on each other's programs Jan. 18.

''I'm really looking forward to speaking to a man who owes his entire career to me,'' O'Reilly said.

On ''The Colbert Report,'' Colbert portrays a self-involved talk-show host who has tried to bring ''truthiness'' to the world. His character owes an obvious debt to O'Reilly, who holds court in the ''no-spin zone'' each evening.

On ''The O'Reilly Factor,'' O'Reilly portrays a ... um, he hosts the top-rated program in cable news.

''I look forward to the evening,'' Colbert said. ''It is an honor to speak face-to-face with a broadcasting legend, and I feel the same way about Mr. O'Reilly.''

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

Mark your calendars.
But I figure they won't take the gloves off.
Only the advertizing revenue will be be "up" for it.

Can you point me to one war that has been won politically and not militarily?

And

Since when is Kerry any expert on anything. Well of course getting wounded
and throwing other peoples medals over the WH fence.

The Iraq War. We won the 'war' militarily a long time ago..the post war plan was f*cked and this is what we are left with. An unwinnable situation.. we can either sacrifice another couple of thousand US lives and cross our fingers it works..or we can gradually pull out and cross our fingers it works.. either way ray it's out of our hands and we as a nation need to decide how many more US lives this is worth..


As far as kerry goes he's an idiot but that does not take away the fact that Whannity is dishonest or stupid for purposely misusing quotes out of context. Sort of like wehn Bush said he wasn't really concerned about Osama Bin Laden... of course if Kerry would have used those words in an ad without the proper context Ray and his ilk would be selectively outraged..

You said politically. Do you remember we tried and failed to win Iraq
politically. We along with other countries tried to get Saddam to get
out of Iraq, even found a country that would accept him, and take his
millions along with his family. But nope, he wasn't have any part of it.
Well see what it got him.

The war is far from over in Iraq. What is happening there is what happened
in Viet Nam. The politicians are getting involved and trying to run the
war along with every damn pacifist in the world. At first they kept their
mouth shut because someone would have shut it for them, but slowly
they started to speak and now they are in full voice.

I love the NYT, get out of Iraq, but don't let happen there that happen
in Viet Nam. How do you do that with no troops in Iraq?

:lol The politicians were running the war all along. It's not like we followed Shinseki's idea for occupation in the first place. Politicians Bush and Rummy tried to pull of this war on the cheap. It bit him in the ass and now he's just stalling so he can hand the war off to the next president so maybe they can take some of the blame for losing.

Red Herring. A political (diplomatic) solution prevents war from occuring in the first place.

Name one war that has been prevented by the diplomats. I ask this before
and got nothing but BS.

Cuban missle crisis. No shots fired.

^^Blockade by naval war ships and threat to use force to enforce blockade. Not
much diplomacy there. Florida was a war zone. Russia backed down in the face
of force, of course our most wonderful JFK traded our missile base in Izmir, Turkey
for the missiles in Cuba. Which was not widely publicized and still isn't. But I
was present when it occurred.
