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.
I saw the broadcast. I cannot remember being that angry over a political broadcast in my life. I sent e-mails to MSNBC telling them they need to fire that rabid dog, Lawrence O'Donnell as a political commentator and until they do, I will not watch MSNBC.
If you want to register a complaint on this guy who has been unhinged for sometime now and getting worse, here's the e-mail addresses:
joe@msnbc.com
viewerservices@msnbc.com
I took your advice, not that I doubt it will do any good.
It almost looked "staged" especially when they came back from commercial...O'Donnell just sat there like nothing happened! LOL
But I agree O'Donnell should be made to apologize ON AIR for his outburst last night before they FIRE HIM!
I don't know if I would go as far as saying that the creep is a closet Repub. However, his rants left-handedly push more people to vote Repub. That may have been the thought that matchwood was trying to put forth.

Have you given people the e-mail addresses for Joe Scarborough and MSNBC so we can deluge them with complaints?
joe@msnbc.com
viewerservices@msnbc.com
This is the second time in this thread I've given these e-mail addresses. Hope this is not considered spamming.
I saw the interview last night. O'Donnell was absolutely shameful. He has lost his mind, I do believe. I was sitting there screaming at the TV set - I was so angry with him.
Fantastic! O'Donnell just gave President Bush 10,000 more votes.
You all know that O'Donnell has been doing this for years. I seem to remember back in 1999 on a show he was shouting at some lady who was defending Clinton, believe it or not.
Good old Larry, he doesn't take any side but his own. I have to laugh when he asked O'Neill what he did to end the war. Larry was 18 in 1973 and then went to Harvard. What was he worried about?
I've said it before, O'Donnell is the only person who takes O'Donnell seriously. It's a waste of air time for him to be on any show except maybe Fear Factor. I'd like to see O'Donnell eating worms.
There's not way I could watch this again without putting my foot through the TV. It's a good thing O'Donnell isn't my next door neighbor or I'd be in jail this morning LOL
Thank you.
