“He slammed FR right in the intro. Why did kristinn even bother to appear? It was just an attempt to make FR look bad. I think FR should try and avoid these set-up jobs in the future. Now the damage is done. They got their FR slam in there, probably to people who have never even heard of FR. Was it worth it to appear? I don’t think so.”

It’s a legit question. I think it’s always good to engage. Whichever conservative politicians succeed in the future - Reagan style - will also have to engage the loony left. However, I wish it were CNN, which is watched slightly more broadly than the RATS channel PMSNBC.
Do you think it would have been worth it on CNN? CNN would have probably also had to ‘try’ to look objective - whereas these bozos and Parry don’t even have to try.
MSNBC is the home of the loony far left - Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Madcow Maddow. And while CNN tries to get away with things -- Anderson Cooper's "teabagging", Christiane Amanpour's Muslim sympathies, Larry King's "dumb" act (act?), Rick Sanchez's snide comments -- I don't think CNN would have brought him on just to slam him, as MSNBC did.
I think FOX would have done a good job interviewing him - Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Greta. But, again, FOX would have no interest in bringing on a representative of a Conservative forum just to slam him and the site. But I know they would have let kristinn talk for more than 20 seconds, which I'm sure is why he was talking so fast (also to keep MSNBC's Shuster from interrupting him with more slams).
