Don't talk to her like that again.

Don't talk to her like that again.

Those were the words of Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade. A debate had been scheduled between Debra Burlingan and Richard Tofel.

Debra's brother was killed on 9-11. The debate was over the freedom center. Tofel is the director of the International freedom center.

Tofel was clearly outmatched by Debra. She won every argument. Tofel appeared to be very secretive. After the debate was over and the segment ended Tofel walked up to Debra.

Debra was very emotional at this point. Her eyes had already filled with tears. Tofel walked up to Debra and patted her on the back and said "Nice Try"

Kilmeade followed Tofel back to the dressing room and physically got in the man's face. "You are totally inappropriate. And you will not be talking to her like that again. Do not touch her again"

Tofel refused to leave the building acting like a small child. He was eventually escorted out.

Many folks are outraged because the center is going to be used for left wing propaganda. According to the International Freedom Center's Web site, the museum will "deal with the international impact of September 11," as well as such issues as segregation in America and the Holocaust.

"It doesn't belong at a memorial," said Charles Wolf, whose wife, Katherine, died in the World Trade Center collapse. "You wouldn't put a debate about Nazism and authoritarianism at Dachau."

Center President Richard J. Tofel said that while the causes of the Sept. 11 attacks would not be up for debate, the center would not bar criticism of the United States and its actions.

A big part of the overstuffing of the Ground Zero site with feel good program was Daniel Liebskind hismelf.

Thanks for the ping. I'm late in reviewing my overnight messages. Obviously, everyone has moved on to something else this afternoon.

I saw Brian interviewed on O'Really last night. FWIW, I think Brian appropriately stepped in to defend a lady's honor. In this day and age, with the world full of Feminazis, I'd say Brian did a very brave thing. Young men just never know when their good manners will be misinterpreted to be condescending.

Dude, it takes no backbone for strapping young men to physically intimidate scrawny old men.
Dude, if you consider that guy "old" then you're worse off than I previously thought. They looked comparable in age.
You dug a big hole for yourself. Good luck getting out.

Well said. But I disagree with one thing. This jerk is a male, but he's no man, IOW, a typical liberal

Yes, that's a good way of putting it. I did put in the qualifier "physically a man," to try to make that same point. It's worth being more explicit on this point though.
