I hope you weren't thinking you were the first one to post this.
(I've done it myself, several times)
;-)
For some reason, I can't get this to work. I click on file to open it but it immediately closed down.
O'Donnell needs to see a shrink, I think he is bipolar and suffering a hyper manic episode! He needs some help.
I wish someone would just post what he said. Some of us dial-uppers simply can't get the video. After three minutes of downloadin, it was only at 7%.
I'd sure like to know what was said.
Hardly, but it needs to be posted daily!! LMAO
He should absolute be fired. He was not on there as an invited guest representing one side or the other--he was on there as a paid professional commentator.
How can we contact them to say we're not watching MSNBC until they, at minimum, make him publicly apologize. We want an APOLOGY for unprofessional behavior. Do you know why that's "all" we want? Because the likelikhood is that he will quit rather than apologize to O'Neill.
what an asshat odonnel is

Same for me.

Sorry- psychiatrists can't help someone who's just an A-hole.
All O'Donell said was that O'Neill was a "LIAR,LIAR,LIAR,LIAR,LIAR,LIAR,LIAR"
and did I tell you that O'Donnell said O'Neill was a "LIAR"
LMAO
I'll say he blew a gasket!! What ever happened to turning off the mikes when the dims start blowing gaskets like this?
I guess they don't want them to turn blue and buy the worm farm without the sound on....it would make for too ugly of a visual. /sarcasm
ROFL
I just saved the video. I almost fell off of my chair laughing. Whoever named it is a real comedian. The name of the video is windbag.wmv.
This has been posted and all of us should be very very angry.
Lets all write MSNBC and get O'Donnell fired, (if we can).
Ya know if I were O'Neill(who is a lawyer) I would file a class action lawsuit Monday for the Swiftees against MSNBC,NBC & O'Donnell for slander!
This clown went off on the McLaughlin Group one week saying to the effect that he didn't care if Kerry's slanderous and treasonous words in 1971 affected the morale of the troops in Viet Nam!!!
Has O'Donnell been fired yet?
I know it was posted last night but it should be posted daily so EVERYONE who hasn't seen it can!
JON:
LOD: LIE! LIE! LIE! CREEPY LIAR!! LIE!! LIE!!
JON:
LOD: LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE!!! LIE!!
JON:
LOD: LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE!!!
hahahahahahahahah
Unbelievable!! What a joke
There is not even one article in any newspaper or publication this a.m. that I could find about the episode!
Fired? MSNBC will probably give O'Donnell a bonus!
It was almost scarier to see him in the following segment, when he was calm and collected. Talk about Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
I clicked on the graphic of the video on the site and had no problem so when you say that you clicked on "File" I don't know what you mean. Try to watch the video by clicking on the image at the site and after it completes do a search on windbag.WMV and when the searcch finds it then you can copy/move it to somewhere on your computer where it will be saved permanently instead of in temporary internet files.
Why didn't Pat cut Lawrence's mic for goodness sake?
O'Donnel makes me sick and I cannot stand to watch him. One of the reasons I switch over from Fox is that I cannot stand Greta and now here is this liberal piece of crap on the Scarborough show. What can I do?
The rest is still un-listen-to-able.
He definetely shook up Frank Luntz. I thought He did his best to put ODonnel in his place. MSNBC should be ashamed, however I do believe this will turn people off & turn them to Bush/ This needs to get out to public somehow. Denco
He's got my vote. What a smart guy, Mr. In-Charge-of-the-Facts.
He had a cameo on the West Wing as the Sheen character's mentally and physically abusive father- obviously he has these tendencies in real life too.
If there was ever any doubt about liberal bias in the media, this episode has completely erased it.
O'Donnell needs to see a shrink..
What do you think is going to be the response to the Bush Landslide? there are thousands of O'Donnell's out there.
Nurse kratchet is going to be busy.
"What can I do?"
There's always sex or lots of great conservative books to read! LOL
Actually he and MSNBC are closet Republicans! Immediately after watching "Liar, Liar," O'Donnell I remembered I had received an email from the Swifties earlier yesterday asking for more money so they could buy ads in PA.
O'Donnell encouraged me to make a third donation to the Swifties. Funny thing, the negativity of people like O'Donnell and the stupid remarks and actions of the Kerrys and Edwards' only encourages me all the more to help defeat them. Hooray for MSNBC and their ilk.
They were sitting next to each other and Pat's mic would still pick up the sound. More importantly, Pat probably felt that O'D showing his ass helped the cause.
Sorry, but I don't have time to do the whole transcript but basically, absolutely every time John O'Neill tried to give details of sKerry's actions in Vietnam this O'Donnell nutcase started shouting, "LIE, THAT'S A LIE!", etc. He kept this up for the entire time that Mr. O'Neill tried to speak.
Maybe shouting is not a good word.....screaming might be a better word.....as if he had really gone into some kind of insane fit.
It was quite straight-forward; here's the transcript:
Lawrence O'Donnell: (Said with increasing vehemence, rapidly, non-stop)-- "Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar! LIAR!" (picture your 6th grade playground).
John O'Neill: "We actually believe that the Truth is worth pursuing. Are you saying that all 243 of us are liars then? You can either pursue the Truth and have an orderly society or you can just shout the Truth down and have chaos."
L O'D: "LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!" (face gets red and redder).
Moderator: "Lawrence, you simply must give Mr. O'Neill an opportunity to speak."
O'Neill speaks. Lawrence GRIPS his lips together, smiles an off-his-rocker 'smile' and sits there.
hahah, GREAT video. They should use it for Bush's ad.
Very unprofessional of O'Donnell. He might get better recognition on Jerry Springer. What a complete ass.
I just e-mailed Scarborough at joe@msnbc.com and asked him not to have O'Donnell on again.
What a disgusting way to treat a guest!
They should have turned O'Donnell's mic off when he got so out of control and issued O'Neill an apology.
If there is anything in the world that shows panic and fear,liberal DNC O'Donnell does in this clip...I saw a little of it last night and turned it off. Glad to see the whole thing...it certainly makes my day to know how fearful of losing the DNC is. John O'Neill really hit a nerve, didn't he?? I have seen more than one MSM type shout him down.
I don't think so. MSNBC is already on the ropes. They brought Scarborough aboard and his has become their hottest show. They know that rabbid, fomaing-at-the-mouth liberalsim is anathema to good ratings.
They've titled O'Donnell "MSNBC Senior Politcal Analyst" which implies measured, reasoned {sane} objectivity. What he did last night was the last thing MSNBC needed at this tenuous time in its history.
I'd sure like to know what was said.
With Pat and sometimes John talking over him most of the time, about the only real word you could hear was liar, over and over again.
He reminded me of George Reeves (TV's superman)in GONE WITH THE WIND.
After a commercial break Pat and Larry were both yelling at each other. O'Neill never once raised his voice. O'Donnell behaved like a spoiled child who refused to listen to anything he didn't want to hear.
O'Donnell has been particularly disgusting lately with his Mary Cheney comments. Now he is just acting like a petulant child.
You're lying John... Liar... lying liar... you're a liar.. LIAR! LIAR! LIARLIARLIARLIARLIARLIARLIAR!
That's pretty much it.
As soon as Buchanan finishes his question and asks for O'Neill to respond, O'Donnell literally talks over him, "It's lies, all LIES! You're a liar, a LIAR! Where are his initials, his initials, his initials, lies, all lies, LIAR, you're a LIAR!!". Just constant like that. Would imagine that a transcript of it would really be impossible to write.
At one point, Buchanan goes to commercial to get a fresh start, but otherwise isn't effective.
Also, I had the impression that this OD just didn't want the American public to actually be able to hear what Mr. O'Neill had to say.....didn't want anyone to be able to hear the truth.
Larry definitely seemed "chastened" after the commercial. Both Buchanan and Luntz ridiculed him throughout the remainder of the show.
Obviously, Pat was blindsided by Larry's "spin-out". He {Larry} never announced his intention to "lose it" during the production meeting prior to the show.
