Ann Coulter Demolishes Bill O'Reilly

It's not often that O'Reilly gets "humbled" by one of his guests, and it's not often that Ann Coulter loses a debate; I think O'Reilly has met his match!

Is there a...? Excerpted - click for full question ^

When was this on? Tonight? I'd stopped watching O'Reilly but I'll check out the rerun if Ann's on.

[basil]

This almost makes me wish I watched TV.

Oh great - I must have missed this segment inexplicably and now, Noew, nobody's remembering the Ann rules.

Yes, there is a reason it is excerpted. When I attemted to post the whole article, I got a message that all aim.org materials MUST be excerpted.

Nope. There were several threads on it...

Haha! Sounds like O'Reilly got his ass handed to him!

I'll have to check it out at 8:00.

Not sure when it was on; this AIM piece just came out today, though.

OH FOR ALL THAT IS SACRED AND HOLY, I MISSED IT!

Coulter: "Like what?"

O’Reilly: "He demonized people who didn’t deserve to be demonized."

Coulter: "That’s not true. Name one. There is not one."

O’Reilly: "I’ll name one—Dalton Trumbo."

Coulter: "He had nothing to do with Dalton Trumbo."

O’Reilly: "Sure he did. It was the House of Unamerican Activities Committee. And who was overseeing that?"

Coulter: "He was known as Senator McCarthy. He was in the Senate not the House. Everyone confuses him with the House UnAmerican Activities Committee."

O’Reilly: "But who was overseeing that?"

Ooooh oooh oooh! I know!

Martin Dies.

This was on a few weeks ago. It was great.

[LibWhacker]

No, this happened last month.

This is exactly why the marxists have nearly succeeded in highjacking our constitution. Anyone who dares try to expose them is demonized. God Bless Ann for trying, and curse those who try to silence her.

[demlosers]

O'Reilly made a silly mistake. He knows better; he didn't think about the question.

[Ipse Dixit]

She might have "humbled" O'Reilly, but a couple of nights later she kicked Larry King right in the nuts ... you could tell by the expression on his face.

The BEST one was where Neal Boortz made Bill absolutely lose it on his show. You can find out more information about Boortz here at Vicious SoB.

I'll bet he won't have Coulter on again any time soon, That woman is truly amazing.

Fair enough. Thanks. I'll make note of that.

Unnecessary FR excerpting is hell on those of us with slow connections, given how so many "news" sites lard up their pages with megabytes of irrelevant photos (esp. of their blank-brained, airblown=hair, totally interchangeable talking heads), etc. I've pretty much given up clicking through on excerpted articles -- if it's an excerpt, they pretty much aren't going to get my eyes on it.

(After all, the original lawsuits were from the NYT and LA Times and as we've seen they can't tell Truth from... well, you know... so why bother?)

I witnessed this segment that night live even as O'Reilly got his head handed to him on a platter.

Ann was gracious as always and could have called him an ignoramus or a moron or an idiot as I have heard O'Reilly do, but she merely said "everyone confuses him with the House Unamerican Activities Committee."

O'Reillyyyyy, it is like this: US Representatives are on House Committees and Senators are on Senate Committees, you moron.
