I can agree 100% with this guy in what this article is concerned. America couldn't be so cheap with Ahmadinejhad if he was 1/10th of the threat he is supposed to be. I bet the North Korean dude wouldn't be denied if he wanted to do the same... Message is, America the paper tiger pees on the very same puppies they call wolves all day round.  |

I wish this guy was on "O'Reilly Factor" last night. It would have been better than watching him abuse that poor, little lady from "Project Pink" about this.
"He's a sponsor of terror," the fat oaf said... if only someone was there to shove some of this information down his ugly maw.

One of the problems with dealing in appearances is that it doesn't provide the information you should have in forming opinions. Could the guest have been from Code Pink? If she was from Code Pink, she was likely was Medea Benjamin, who has done business through this communist front group for years. She does have a very non-threatening demeanor, but the ideas she holds are obscene. |

Could there be an ulterior motive by O'Reilly? OswaldTheOsprey |

BO's motive (assumeing his program hasn't changed sincve I last saw it) is that his show has a specific formula in which he angrily interrogates with copious interruption for just a few minutes. Lots of people don't care to be a part of that act. |

Thanks for the good read!  Just shows how America just doesn't like to think. Kind of ironic how the Nation itself is a portrait of the same values exhibited by our president. Dumb. |

If she was from Code Pink, she was likely was Medea Benjamin, who has done business through this communist front group for years. She does have a very non-threatening demeanor, but the ideas she holds are obscene. Excuse me. You're right. It was " Code Pink", not " Project Pink" and the guest was Mrs. Benjamin (I checked FOXnews.com cause I didn't actually know). Regardless, she was the one voice of opposition and she was a meek little lady. They could have done better... if O'Reilly were really intrested in a debate. But I'm going off topic. What amazes me is that uproar this can make... and all it is is talk. That's it. A controversal man from another country comes over to TALK, and you would think WW III was coming in with him. It's disgusting. And it's this attitude that allows him to go back home and call us a bunch of arrogant pricks. He's talking ladies and gentlemen... in OUR country, no less. WHAT'S THE BIG FUCKING DEAL?!?!?! |

slightly ot:
Yes he seized the opportunity and yes he had his say and left you standing at the altar in terms of answering questions, and certainly this is going to impress the folks back home, and I think it's perfectly valid, imo, to suggest that you enabled him to do it.
None the less you really had no choice. The alternative would've functioned for him equally, minus the display of his obvious guile and deceptiveness. The spotlight on that characteristic, plus the holding steady on your commitment to the spirit of free speech and open dialog was, imo, your best tactical route.
Did the right thing.
