My email to O'Reilly.....

Bill-

"Would you sacrifice your child?" is a BOGUS emotionally manipulative question. you fell for it. The question is irrelevant. Nobody is sending their child to die anywhere. Soldiers are ADULTS who signed on the dotted line by free choice to do a job that entails risk. Part of that risk is possibly being killed or wounded in action or accidents. Nobody sends their child off to die. Parents are not asked to do that. Young adults join the military and accept the risk. Period. Nobody joins planning on dying for anything. There is no draft. It is an all volunteer force. Moore is a master propagandist. Kinda surprised you fell for it, you normally dont.

By the way, no WMD's in Iraq is not a done deal. Kay said many trucks went to Syria before the war. Things could turn up in the desert years from now. All anyone can say for sure is, we dont know, but considering Saddams past history, it is very likely, he certainly demonstrated great ambitions for them. Better to deal with him when we did then when it was too late.

Thanks for your time sir.

I don't believe that was what O'Reilly was doing... O'Reilly did it to silence their contention that he is conservative and doesn't give them airtime...

I think O'Rielly could have done much better. From my lips to God's ears... Moore is evil and should be destroyed.

The show doesn't seem worth watching. All they do is talk about how bush led us to war because Sadam had WMD. They are both screwed up. Maybe thats why I don't watch BO any more.

Debating an irrational person like Moore is like trying to hold a live fish with one hand.

I wonder what Moore's position was on Clinton's bombing of Iraq for three days in 1998 or the Senate's approval for regime change. Kerry and Edwards voted to give Bush the authority to go to war.

O has been spoiling for Moore forever and then trips over his tongue.

Sad...he ALWAYS either stumbles with celebs or gets all soft....especially with the gals.

O'Reilly stated yesterday he was giving him eight minutes... I don't believe this is the entire transcript...

"O has been spoiling for Moore forever and then trips over his tongue."

Huh? This only came about because Moore challenged him to put him on the air at the convention I believe.

Very good. You have to hand it to O'Reily, in that he did not reach across and strangle that punk.. God I hope M. Moore dies of cancer.. I really do.

I don't think O'Reilly had him on just to win an argument... I believe O'Reilly had him on just to prove Moore's contention otherwise about FNC...

>>I'm not sure who is the bigger jackass... Moore or O'Reilly...

Literally, It's Moore...figuratively? A toss-up.

O'Reilly - this interview is in the "No-Spine Zone" - embarrassing. Sean Hannity could have done better...

I did find it funny that his movie is bombing in eastern european countries who were formerly communistic because they know propaganda when they see it...

O'Reilly needed to attack Moore's own lies, instead he basically agrees with everything he says and retorts with poor arguments.

O'Reilly is fast on his feet but he failed to lay a glove on Kid Moore

"What a painful read."

"I don't know which is dumber."

You're absolutely correct.

If I had a chance to "interview" Moore and had agreed (apparently) to be interviewed by him, I would have watched a bootleg copy of his movie 6 times first.

Moore knew where he was comming from...O'Reilly seemed to be back on his heals the whole time.

Now I think this is a valid question...do we think Drudge did an accurate job on this transcript? The interview may sound different and look different than it reads? Someone's going to have to tell me, I'm not going to watch.
