Lipscomb traced the after action report to a Coast Guard Cutter that ONLY Kerry had been on!!
Write joe.scarborough@msnbc.com and Rick.kaplan@msnbc.com and write to GE, too... they own NBC... if it happens again we need to watch who is advertising on the show and complain to them, too.
Couldn't LO'D wasn't a Guest -- he's a "Senior MSNBC Political Analyst"
I noticed that, too. Poor Frank just wanted off the show.
It was incredibly stressful to watch!
That was pretty much it: Liar, Liar, What did you ever do when YOU came back from Vietnam, You're a worthless liar, What did YOU do when you came back from Vietnam... kept getting louder and louder with Pat trying to quiet him and John O sitting there with a solumn look on his face while Pat would slightly quiet down Pat and then John would start to answer and then it started all over again...Liar, liar, liar.....
drew a Swiftie contribution from me, too.
Well, you can watch it here:

That's a no go. I had so much sex I went blind, and now I can't read the books. </sarcasm>
Larry O'Blowhard has crossed the line but obviously from his out of control behavior he is off his meds. Sorta like gore while John O'Neill remained perfectly calm and in control.
No, he is not acting like a spoiled child. He is acting like a desperate, hateful individual who has more concern over calling Mr. O'Neill and the Vets LIARS than he has concerns over the good of this nation. ODonnell showed how much the dem/libs are in trouble... BIG TROUBLE. Actually, OD should be fired from his show for treatng a guest in that manner. These dem/libs have no manners. Just venom. A debate is one thing but this was something else. OD didn't want the viewing audience to hear Mr. O'neill. Since when it that an interview? They should have cut OD's mike.
bttt
I know my husband will want to see it...
..we keep sending money to the SwiftVets, especially when we see them run up against liars like O'Donnell.
The thing for MSNBC to do to make up for O'Donnell's ugly treatment of O'Neill is to get rid of O'Donnell, have O'Neill back on this week with just an interview between him and Scarborough or Buchanan (since Democrats seem to have trouble being civil when the truth comes out), and apologize for what happened last Friday. To second another Freeper, I too watch Scarborough because I can't stomach Greta on Fox. Fox needs to replace her with RUSH or Savage or Laura Ingram, or Glen Beck. I am certain a true conservative with their honest, funny banter would make excellent ratings in no time. They would bring their huge radio audience to TV and wipe out the competition. The problem with Scarborough is that he seems compromised working at a very liberal network. When MSNBC had Savage on, it was like watching a tornado, you never knew what he might say or do. I didn't always agree with him but you knew what he said came from him. Any network hiring one of these radio host cited above would rake in the money for their sponsors. And why? Because Americans are looking for honesty and common sense not political correctness.
US Senate. I'm sure he'll be approached. But not everybody wins their first time out - ask Reagan.
People should tell that to John McGloughlin [?] who had Pat sitting in his usual corner, and O'Donnel right next to John the very next day. Larry was all smirks and smiles. Pat was there. He's obviously eager to work with the unprofessional.
I think what O'Neill should have done is gone to the point instead of saying - seee . .
This is something he actually did mess up, or Corsi did. Somebody told them that line on the bottom indicated the source of the document. But on the swift vets board, in threads I was in at the time, it was discovered that the line at the bottom simply indicated the operator who received the message. The book is wrong on that, on the mention of the 35 boat on 13 MAR and a few other things. The book does have factual errors.
But a) that's a long way from saying O'Neill is a lying LIAR who LIED and LIES - YOU LIARRRRererereerr . . . grrr! It was a mistake. More importantly, b) on the same swift vets boards, and something picked up by Lipscomb in short order, it was found that the time on the document suggested Kerry was the only one capable of sending the info, even if an operator typed it all in. The others would have left the Spencer, by then. And Pees was laid up. He was injured. He was on the ship. But it seems unlikely he was the source of the report. This is what O'Neill began to say. And should have stuck with it in his answer.
I've also said on that board, that I'm not going to second guess O'Neill. He does VERY WELL in these interviews, in my opinion. But this is worst I've ever seen or heard him treated in any of the interviews he's given. He was at a disadvantage because Buchanan was reluctant to reign in O'Donnell. Pat just spoke to him, and did nothing else. Pat should have been trying to talk over O'Donnell, or shout over him, just to get control of the situation. If O'Donnell thought his 'points' weren't being heard because of cross-talk, he would have shut up. And Pat didn't know enough to do that. No one's perfect. Maybe he'll learn. Maybe he won't. Maybe he's just hot for celibrity. I don't know.
