Something unbelievable just went down on MSNBC's Scarborough Country. Lawrence O'Donnell screamed at John O'Neill for two segments as substitute host Pat Buchanan hopelessly tried to moderate. O'Donnell interrupted O'Neill every few seconds, repeatedly called the Vietnam veteran a "liar" and a "creep," and sneered, scowled, and shouted at the top of his lungs about how O'Neill did nothing to stop the war.
O'Neill was his usual calm, dignified self--trying civilly to inject facts into the hate-filled O'Donnell's tirades. I swear O'Donnell acted like he was on something. He looked and sounded absolutely crazed. The scene was eerily reminiscent of this.
By the way, I spoke with a former MSNBC employee recently who noted that Chris Matthews STILL hasn't read Unfit for Command and has no plans to do so. O'Donnell cited the hate-filled New York Times book review of O'Neill's book during his harangue tonight. How much you wanna bet he has never actually read the book either?
I'm paraphrasing here, but John O'Neill noted that O'Donnell demonstrated the choice we face on Nov. 2--Kerry-supporting screamers like O'Donnell or an administration that can deal with the threats we face rationally.
I wonder if MSNBC will have the balls to put up an unedited transcript. Stay tuned. And if anybody has video of the show that I can link to, let me know.
More on O'Donnell's recent rantings against "simpleminded" people of faith at Dave's Blurbs and Betsy's Page.

Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick
Kind of like the senators that wouldn't go to the evidence room during the Clinton impeachment period.
Mr. Laurence O'Donnell made a fool of himself, again, on Scarborough Country with Pat Buchanan. Having your chief political correspondent act like a fool doesn't enhance the image of MSNBC. Mr. O"Donnell needs to be restrained when he goes calling someone a liar that he knows nothing about. Mr. O'Donnell did not serve in Viet Nam with these men and has no business shouting down those who did. He has no personal knowledge about Viet Nam or the men who served there. Sen. Kerry has not had the courage to confront the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, and has not had the integrity to release all his military records. I'm sure he doesn't want the American people to know that he did not receive an honorable discharge when he first was dismissed from the service. The fact that his medals had to be reissued in 1985 indicate his discharge was dishonorable, where all former medals awarded are revoked. If Sen. Kerry won't address the issue, no outsider like Mr. O'Donnell should be allowed to pimp for him.
What's a blogging thread?
dont miss the part where Odonnel digs at Mary Cheney,,we are over on a live thread, it is too much to believe.
I just LOVE IT when DEMS go rabidly insane in front of cameras....!!
I wish somebody in a later time zone will catch this on video!
Doesn't surprise me at all. I've long since learned from personal experience that when you disagree with a liberal they go from ultra-nice weenie guy to red-faced, psychotic rage. I was reading a description of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and guess what? They are textbook examples.
Larry is a demonrat!
Larry went berserk. That man was not only in a frenzy, he looked insane. He kept screaming liar, liar, but never disproved anything. I find it objectionable that for ratings sake MSNBC's "Scarborough" is using mentally unbalanced people to become a sort of political "Gong Show."
Sounds like O'dee was reading a list of qualifications for a democrat presidential candidate.
Pat Buchanan is partly to blame for allowing it to continue. He lamely tried to reel the monster in. I've seen Buchanan in action. If he wanted him to shut up, he could have threatened to cut his mike.
As usual, O'Neill retained his dignity.
This post is a violation of FReeper law, there is no obligatory picture contained within....shame, shame.
His "lying" rant was so petty and sophmoric I thought I was going to hear him say "liar, liar, pants on fire."
I guess I should have said a "live-blogging" thread, which is my term for any thread that has comments on shows as they air. It's a term that is currently stuck on the far left bank of Free Republic, but will make it into the mainstream in approximately 4.7 days.
Does anyone have an e-mail address to Lawrence's BOSS???
