Friday Night Fights: Conservative Woman KOs Bill Maher and Ben Affleck
Newsbusters ^ | Oct 15, 2006 | staff

Posted on 10/15/2006 6:23:08 AM PDT by Kid Shelleen

is quite doubtful that HBO’s Bill Maher knew what he was in for when he scheduled Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute to be on his "Real Time" panel Friday night. After all, with CNN’s Lou Dobbs and liberal actor Ben Affleck surrounding her, it seemed highly unlikely the lone conservative in the discussion would survive the scrum, let alone win the debate. However, not only did Pletka hold her own, but she also ended up schooling Maher and Affleck on a virtual plethora of geopolitical issues making this one of the more enjoyable Friday Night Fights in recent memory (video link to follow).

Agree...i thought she was weak even within a field of pu##ies.




Me too - she came across a tad nutty. I was disappointed.

Well they did, let's be honest about it.

I have to disagree. Your position is that if the West just leaves Iran and North Korea alone that they will behave magnificently and never bother anybody again in the civilized world.

Which is a total joke and dangerous.

Incredible body language. The guys all feared her knowledge, but put on false bravados. Ol' Hollywood-ben just kept peeking hungrily at the audience to see if he could get his needed applause. (Boy, wasn't the audience hand-picked!)

I watched the clip and saw what one USUALLY sees in these cases- a bunch of ignorant idiots who refuse to be confused by the facts when facing a person who actually KNOWS something about it.

Mahar and Affleck should go back to what they are paid to do- entertain, albeit in a mediocre fashion. Dobbs is just good at appeasing the nutjob who pays him.

I just watched it -- Some of her answers were hard to hear due to a combination of the applause by the moronic audience, and the three Liberal brain-dead excuses for men on the set.

It's fair to say she probably won't be invited on the show again -- way too much brain power and too many facts for the little willie show and its three viewers somewhere out there in telebishion land ...

Affleck seems to be primping himself, ala John F'ing Kerry to run for office. An empty suit if I ever saw one.

Ben Affleck Education Bio: After Graduating high school the young Affleck dabbled in higher education at both the University of Vermont and California’s Occidental College. He found it all too restricting and opted to give Hollywood a try.

Another liberal dropout telling us how the world works! Pfffffttt...

The disturbing thing to me is the audience.

They need a disclaimer. You know, like the "No animals were harmed during the filming of this movie one"?

They need one that says, "All members of the audience have signed binding agreements never to vote nor reproduce."

Moron.

My goodness, how does one respond to an arguement on such a high level as that?

Nope. You still don't get it.

No I guess I don't. How can they be just as evil before having nukes as after?

OK, they're Axis of Evil founding members and are doing what the President said we would not sit still for them doing. And that is better how?

We aren't sitting still.

No my question is how empty threats and idle warnings on the part of the President have accomplished anything?

They were evil before the speech. Now they're evil and have tested long range missiles and supposedly nuclear weapons. That seems to me to be more evil than before.

More evil? Nope, just more dangerous. The President was right to identify the troublemakers publicly, and if Ben Assfleck thinks otherwise, then I KNOW that Bush made the correct decision in that regard. We're still working on the "will not tolerate" part, mainly because countries such as Russia and China continue to run interference for the Iranian and North Korean vermin. Our response need not be an "interdiction"; there are other viable responses.

You are up pretty earlier this morning Ben Affleck. If you are not Ben, you are his twin because you are as ignorant as he is and could not understand facts if someone smacked you in the face with them.

The DUmmies are just too predictable.

Had Bush taken on North Korea first, the same drooling leftist loons who are screaming today that he failed to protect us from the "real" threat (North Korea) by taking on Saddam Hussein and the terrorist coddling nations of the Middle East would be screaming that he attacked a tiny, starving defenseless nation--North Korea--while leaving the "real" Islamofascist threat to grow without opposition.

Typical liberal ploy: make the mess and then b*tch and complain when a Republican president tries to clean it up. It doesn't matter what corner he starts in, it will the "wrong" corner.

I'm sick of all of these DUplicitous liberal seminar posters.
