Bill O'Reilly Vs. Joan Walsh: the Shootout
The Provocateur ^ | 06/13/2009 | Mike Volpe

Posted on 06/13/2009 5:36:19 PM PDT by fiscon1

Ms. Walsh was one of the chief critics that accused of having some responsibility for the killing of Dr. George Tiller. Most O'Reilly critics would never actually criticize him to his face so she definitely gets credit for coming in and facing the fire.

The debate started with a critical question from O'Reilly. Does Ms. Walsh believe that a fetus in the third trimester have any rights? It took her a long time to answer the question but ultimately she believes that no fetus has any rights at any time.

Good point.

If a fetus is not a baby, then, it shouldn’t matter if there have been 2 or 20 million abortions.

“She recoiled and tried to turn the subject away from the real point.”

She threw out the old gun control argument and the jeneane garafolo. ?????? She was pulling out all the stops!
Its what liberals always do.

I agree completely.
The hormone and mood issues are some of the very reasons why I think any new anti-abortion laws should show compassion towards the mother.
I want to punish the butcher doctors!

She unmasked herself and the true agenda of the “pro-choice” crowd. Really sick stuff.

Again a Dracula parallel. He only comes out at night. When BOR shined the spotlight of this sickness on her she naturally unraveled and started spewing this twisted, unrelated nonsense. You are right that liberals never hold up well under serious, truthful scrutiny. O’Reilly is often “the show” himself but I give credit where due. He was very strong on this and on the seriousness of the Notre Dame situation, with all that inappropriate hailing to Obama. This was a very instructive interview.

I watched most of that interview. Then it was time to go barf. She is completely void of a conscience. I bet she has no problem with Obama’s belief that if a child survives an attempted murder and breathes it’s first breath, it’s OK with them to kill the child after it is born too.

O’Reilly is right on this issue but he handled the debate poorly. Shouting down your opponent and screaming the same things over again are not persuasive. He can’t think very fast on his feet and his primary stock in trade is anger and yelling. We need some people who can speak to this issue in a way that shows others how we’re in the right.

Besides the screaming at the TV I did with her as a typical dead-soul Pro-Abort, I noticed two things she tried;

1. When BOR played the John Hopkins Psych, she used the line 'What does that man know about what these women I've talked to have to go through" - as if stabbing a baby in the back of the head to suck its brains out so I can continue my life is somehow something only a woman can have a valid opinion about,

2. When BOR slammed her she said 'You'll be sorry...' - which I took as a threat of some kind. BOR didn't pick up on it on the air.

Bottom line, I don't always like his middle-of-the-road on different issues but on the rights of children on either side of the womb, he's a fierce warrior and I'm glad for that.

He brought up that one but it got no response and quickly lost in the warfare.

Rush is starting to make this point more and more lately - one I am going to put in my quiver. If they mean what they say that it's not wrong - then why do they equivocate on frequency and circumstances - totally evil but their pricked consciences contradict.

More like Nazis for Judaism.Jews consider Jesus a prophet but not the Messiah. She is as much a Catholic as Obama is a Christian.

I heard that as well, and remarked out loud that the woman just threatened BOR. I hope he comments on that specific remark soon. She definitely threatened him IMO.

I emailed oreilly@foxnews.com to point that out. THAT should not go unanswered ON THE AIR. He needs to address that at the top of the next show. Email him so it’s more than just li’l ol’ me ;)

...ultimately she believes that no fetus has any rights at any time.

By her own statements and acknowledgment that she is a Roman Catholic, she should be excommunicated. This is where I have difficulty understanding why the Catholic Church tolerates those (many others - some politicians, some famous or celebrities) who blaspheme the basic doctrine of the church, yet continue to receive the sacraments and call themselves Catholics. The Church KNOWS who many of these outspoken people are, yet tolerates this disgusting and repulsive behavior that degrades the Church and all it stands for.
