Phil Donahue Destroys Bill O'Lilley

[Nbadan]

Phil Donahue is no longer the wimpy talk show host that I remember. Last night he absolutely destroyed O'Reilly. I'm sure if they hadn't been sitting at the same table, Donahue's mike would have been cut.

We need to get this guy on TV more often.

Billy (as Donohue repeatedly called him) started off listing Cindy Sheehan's supposed sins, and Phil was off and running, accusing Billy of participating in the marginalization attempt of Sheehan by the right. Billy proudly claimed that he was "the leader of the pack."

Donohue: Cindy Sheehan is one tough mother and nothing you say or anyone else is going to slow her down.

Bill: That's fine, she's has a right-

Phil:....You can't hurt her, she's already taken the biggest punch in the nose that a woman can take.

Bill, in his infinite wisdom asks: How?

Phil: She's lost a son-

Bill: Oh, OK...

Then Phil plugged the rally in DC on 9/24. Billy wanted to talk about Cindy's radical positions, but Phil went on to attack the war in Iraq.

Billy started pointing his finger at that point and questioned the "cut and run" leftist position.

Donohue then said that O'Reilly wouldn't send his kids to die there, and the frequently masturbating-to-harassing-phone-sex giant head started boiling over, yelling about his "...nephew just joined the army," and, "...he's a patriot, so don't denigrate his service or I'll boot you right off the set!"

Wasn't Cindy's son a patriot, also, Bill?

Phil replied that, "Loud doesn't mean right," and, "you nephew is not your kid."

I could go on, but it's so great to watch and listen to, I encourage everyone to check it out.

Donahue Destroys Bill O'Lilley

Yeah...O'Reilly felt so destroyed he replayed the interview on tonights show and he's got it linked on his website. He whipped Donahue's ass and exposed Donahue for the emasculated flake that he is. Donahue even went to the "Rumsfeld met Saddam" card...what a ing flake.

Wasn't Cindy's son a patriot, also, Bill?

Yes...but what has that got to do with anything? See...that's the stupidest ing logic I have ever seen. She gets no credit for what her son did....she's doing everything in her power to demean it, and she stands against his Patriotism. In fact...she sympathizes with his killers by calling them Freedom Fighters...

Sorry, Dan...I watched that episode. This is what you got (from a previous post):

"We're sending men & women over there to die!!!"
"They are liars!!!
"We're sending men & women over there to die!!!"
"They are liars!!!
"We're sending men & women over there to die!!!"
"They are liars!!!
"We're sending men & women over there to die!!!"
"They are liars!!!
"We're sending men & women over there to die!!!"

Did he say anything rational or intelligent? No. Did he back any of that up with facts? No. The whole time he was on he didn't really say a damn thing about anything. Dude is getting senile and is in denial...it was painful to watch.

He was totally irrational, had nothing informative to say, and kept yelling OVER O'Reily
when it was his turn to respond. And you call that "destroyed"? I was embarrassed for Phil. Nothing to do with O'Reily at all....Phil was AWFUL. If you truly believe that Phil destroyed him, you have officially fallen off of the left side of the planet.

I thought Phil did a fine job but the right will never see it.

[jochhejaam]

Phil did a piss poor job of establishing winning talking points and that against someone who I don't consider a good debater. He's an insufferable, incurable liberal and with their ideology shouldn't (and didn't) win debates against someone with a reasonable level of intelligence.

[SpursWoman]

I thought Phil did a fine job but the right will never see it.

All he did was yell louder. How the is that a "fine job"? To me, a "fine job" in having any kind of debate would be to 1. express yourself like a rational adult, not some hysterical nutjob and 2. let the other person have their turn to respond and actually listen to what the other person is saying. That has nothing to do with left or right. I have no problem listening to both sides...but when someone starts acting like that it makes me cringe, and not listen to them anymore.

It's like people in this forum that can't have any kind of adult conversation without resorting to childish remarks and insults.

[Yonivore]

Bill O'Reilly and Phil Donahue? What was the ing point? They're both idiots.

[whottt]

I'd be more inclined to believe that the anti-war stance is based on pacifism if they would protest the terrorists too...but like when they were sponsored by the commies in Vietnam...they are only protesting one side.

[JohnnyMarzetti]

I just can't wait til one day, somebody reaches across the table and slaps the hair out of o'reilly's nose. it will happen. That will be hilarious and long overdue.

[whottt]

Yeah but it won't be Phil Donahue...

I bet you Phil kissed O'Reilly's ass after that show and thanked him for giving him the opportunity to be seen by audience of more than 2 people.

Too bad you guys didn't think Donahue was so great when he went up against O'Reilly on MSNBC....if you had, he'd still have a soapbox upon which to make a public ass of himself.

[JohnnyMarzetti]

Bill elicits nothing from me except him needing to be slapped. and at least his nose will be hair-free while he's spending his money getting his jaw fixed.

[Marcus Bryant]

So you had one loudmouthed egoist going up against another loudmouthed egoist.

One thing I do not understand is the argument "You wouldn't send your kids to war." It's the one straw man argument the anti-war crowd loves to use. Of course most parents wouldn't do that. But you know what? It's the choice of the son or daughter.

Society trusts individuals that age to make decisions about sex, love, health and career but we can't have them deciding to join the military? How about we just make them get mommy and daddy's permission for everything else they do in their lives?

[Trainwreck2100]

Why is sheenan still a talking point? Somebody give her tickets to Aruba please, everyone wins, the media gets their story I don't have to hear about her any more.

[Useruser666]

That video clip is hosted on crooksandliars.com, seems rather appropriate for a Dan link.

[Sec24Row7]

I hate O'Reilly But Donahue is a ing joke.

[Useruser666]

Why not have Jenny Jones and Springer sit down and debate.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yeah, her 15 minutes are over. Her mistake seems to be that her handlers or whatever are using her to advance a hard left viewpoint. She's not a threat to Bush anymore. If she had been able to strike a more mainstream cord and not go off the deep end, it might have been a different story.

[Steve Perry]

Both of them did there jobs.
Sincerly :the WWF and the WCW

[Jelly]

haha. Cindy "get US troops out of occupied New Orleans" Sheehan. The woman is a complete joke.

[CharlieMac]

Did you even watch that interview?

I didn't think it was possible for someone to be a bigger head than Bill, but now I know it's possible.

Here's something trash won't ever get.....

Yelling louder than the other person, doesn't mean you're winning an argument.

Those are words to live by.

[nkdlunch]

It's impossible to destroy a blabbering on viagra. They just keep going... and going...

[RandomGuy]

Bill O'Reilly and Phil Donahue? What was the ing point? They're both idiots.

I'll agree with you on that point.

I didn't think either of the "destroyed" the other. They just got a bit testy. Every once in a great while, I have to hand it to O'Reilly for having someone on his show that he disagrees with and who is articulate enough not to be a push-over. He is in that way a far sight better than Limbaugh, but that doesn't say much.

[SpursWoman]

I agree about not letting himself get pushed over, but you really think Phil was articulate?

[Nbadan]

I'll agree with you on that point.

I think O'Lilley was blindsided by Donahue, I'm mean, common on, Billy most likely expected the timid, push-over Donahue we all remember from his syndicated show, but what they got was a 60-year old version of Tony Roberts of viagra. Billy didn't know what to expect and fumbled his way through the interview. The fact that O'Lilley spent most of his show yesterday putting his 'spin' on the whole Donahue situation just makes it clearer that Billy got spanked.

[Nbadan]

The whole point of these talking head show is to try and be as articulate as possible before they start cutting your mic, that's for sure, but you also have to admit there is a 'scream factor' that applies to shows like this.
