is quite doubtful that HBOs 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 CNNs 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).

I don't watch Amhr and his horrible show, or the one before -hes a sanctimonious ass who spends more time chasing tail in Hollywood than he does researching the issues. Dobbs? Old queen pontification from the protection of the journalist shield. He wants gradiations of evil? Sure, Sparky, whatever, its just more nitpicking to keep from assigning blame.
Affleck? Whatever. Shut up, pretty boy, while the adults speak. I've heard 3rd graders put together better arguments.
What this all boils down to is they want the whole world to love them, it's an extension and symptom of their occupation and their liberalsim. Typical, instead of HATING NK for killing it's people by starving them, they snivel about how we called them bad names, and they dont like us anymore.
I can't watch shows like that. I'd have a stroke in a month. This kind of moronic liberal relatavism infuriates me.
BTTT
Maybe Fox News should hire her then.
Thanks for posting this. I read the transcript and was happy to learn a scrappy woman can stand up to these bullies.
I'm impressed! Has she ever been on FOX? She's be great up against some of the liberal weenies they have on there trying to shore up their arguments.
I seem to recall a tiny little organization that made these same threats. There were very few people at the time who took the threats seriously until they proceeded to ram planes loaded with innocent people into buildings killing almost 3000 people right here where we thought we were safe.
These idiots like Affleck don't think these people will really hurt us and their ignorance will get more innocent Americans killed because they don't realize we are fighting a war and these countries are the enemy. It doesn't matter what size they are if they can get their hands on a nuclear weapon they will kill us. No matter how nice we try to be.
bttt
The shouting matches put out today, a trend started 20 years ago by John McLaughlin, to his everlasting shame, are all heat and no light. I watch exactly zero of these shows, preferring to read about the day's events and controversies, which allows for reflection and hard thought, both essential if you really want to learn something about the world we live in.
Yeah, if nothing comes of the threats and warnings then I agree with you. I hope the jury is still out, but then it could be baseless optimism: I thought Condi would be tough and yet she is kissing Palestinian butt and hassling Israel ;-(
What a load. Affleck's not an actor.
I think she came across terribly and all the good points she made were lost in her hysterionics. It was too bad. And saying so makes me a DU troll now?
Right. I stand by what I said. You have a nice day.
Did you see the comments for that video? You could call it moonbat central.
I read a few of them. From the ones I read, they were PO'ed the lady did so well.
She sure nailed Ol' Bill, and more than once!!
Nonsense no matter what kind of "troll" you are. The woman had her facts in order, marshalled them conclusively and made the three men, and I use that term loosely, look the part of the ineffectual, effeminate, loons that they are.
My favorite comment was from the Lou Dobbs moonbat, to wit:
'...perhaps we should take evil out of the equation when we(America) are determining what we (America) should be doing.'
Words of wisdom from the self annointed. LOL, you can't make this stuff up!
I thought she made great points and said so. She was just kind of dramatic to the point of distracting from some of her points. I will say no more on her. As far as Lou Dobbs - Oy! Some days he makes a ton of sense like with immigration, others I just wanna slap him.
Fair enough!
I have it on good authority that Benny was ditched by JLO because he is usually too drunk to perform...ummm...in any setting.
Put it this way: He needs a domineering women to manage him. I'm just reporting....
