Voight was on BOR's show last night. I was fascinated by what I was viewing.

First, it was apparant from the first moment they didn't like each other. You could tell from the tensed-up, squared-off posture of each.

Voight went into his well-reasoned talking points. As usual, O'Reilly was covering for Obama which he does almost every night in some major or minor matter.

O'Reilly likes to be in control, and in his arrogant manner he allowed Voight enough speaking time but was pooh-poohing what he was saying.

The in one of O'R's slickest and nastiest pre-meditated tricks ever, out of thin air he tried to tie Jon to Rush Limbaugh in the same way he would try to tie Voight in with Adolf Hitler.

What did Jon do throughout this very cold interview? He held a steady gaze on O'Reilly's face throughout. He was not intimidated.

He remained respectful, but intelligently disagreed with most of what O'R was spewing.

At the end, O'Reilly came up with a closing minute of crap.....and though the segment was supposed to be over, Voight got in the last word by saying "I disagree" as the music was playing.

Final score: Jon Voight, perfect 10. Bill O'Bama, minus 10.

I wish everyone could have seen this segment.

Thanks, Leni...I missed that. I did catch when Bill basically said he could not care less about the Supreme Court's ruling on Chrysler and wondered why it was even important. Thankfully, Megyn Kelly was there to spell it out.

I caught some of this before a fire alarm chased us out of the building - will track it down on-line later. But... BOR was just flat-out rude. He asks a question then answers it himself, talking right over his guest, in this case Voight, but it is his M.O. I don't know why he even bothers to have guests.

I would rather have had an hour of Jon Voight, then five minutes of O'Reilly.

Leni, here’s the link to last night’s appearance by JV on Blowhard O’Reilly:

I saw that segment and agree with your commentary. BOR is trying to gain some traction with the dems for Fox to get them to end their boycott of the network. To do that, he pointedly denigrates conservatives. He is a showman, nothing more. Just before the Voight segment, he tried to brow beat the Media guy into his line of reasoning that is the drive by media is going away because they are dishonest. The guy said the internet is taking away their say. Of course BOR continued spewing his line of crap and the guy just kept saying no, you are not correct. Generally a subject matter expert is right on his facts but not in the land of Oz.

The attempt to put Rush around the neck of Voight was pure crap. I was surprised he did not ask him if he was a Freeper too. So what if Voight listens to Rush (or is a Free Republic reader)? After the segment I told my wife I am finally burned out on BOR and turned on Dave Ramsey.

I had to turn off BOR last night when he wouldn’t let Rove talk. He kept stepping on his respones. Come on Glen Beck.

Thanks for the run down on that interview that I’m sorry I missed just for Jon Voight. I can’t stand 0’Reilly and stay away from his program, but it’s good to know that Voight was on there and he really is great in speaking to what we are seeing from 0bama and what it means for our country.
