Long live the O'Reilly Factor!

[Drake Tungsten]

That, my friends, is great television. May O'Reilly stay on the air as long as he can continue to deliver amazing debates like this one.

My respect for Geraldo just went up, surprisingly.

Geraldo

Only he would be the equal of O'Reilly in talking over the other guy and not really listening, leading to a screaming match with Big Bill.

If you're anything like me, your respect for Geraldo had nowhere to go but up.

[ZEE]

hmph...

Bill O'Reilly got pwned because he played Geraldo's game. Geraldo is used to that style of debate and Bill is not. Just as we all HERE have our strengths and weaknesses when it comes to debates. Some days we win... others we lose, and I am no exception. This little snippet of the O'Reilly factor is teh truth on how different minds works in pressure situations... and Geraldo is just better at it...

That IS O'Reilly's style of debate. Just only O'Reilly is the one who does all the talking over his guest and not letting him speak. Geraldo does the same exact thing and O'Reilly couldn't deal with it.

Who can watch this?

[Pekka]

Two tools go at it, that was fun. I wish they would have had a good fight as well. It just goes to show that people who actually think O'Reilly is a reasonable person who makes good arguments and is the 'backbone' of any kind of thinking well.. align yourself with O'Reilly, don't wonder why I think you're a tool.

NO BILL IS RIGHT!!!! NO but GERALDO IS RIGHT!11

No, they're both ****ing tools and you are as well if you actually watch this with anything else in mind except waiting for a fight to happen. FOrtunately I believe all of us waited for louder shouting and a fight so.. but I'm sure some lurker here goes, "Yeah Bill is a reasonable man, he just says it like it is"... right.

[Ninot]

Wow.

That wasn't so much a debate as a screaming match.

I saw a great debate last night on CSPAN with Newt Gingrich vs. Mario Cuomo, taped on 2/7/07. Never a harsh word; very smart ideas.

[Pekka]

Zkribbler, yeah but that actually requires both participants being smart. It's not enough that the smart one is doing great, because the stupid one does not understand it, this debate impossible.

Throw in stupid people and this is the 'debate' you get .

It's like two retards playing chess. They don't know the rules of it, but they think they do. When they come into terms of the level of game (shouting ruckus "debate"), then when the other one gets into trouble, they just start making new rules, as in how the queen now moves. Other one objects, but "THIS IS HOW IT GOES!". To have a good chess game, you need both players to at least follow the rules. They don't have to be particularly good at it, just .. normal people. Not retards. The only thing I want to see when two retards play is if the other one eats any of the pawns or something, or if they both make it out alive.

THis is what O'Reilly does, because he is an idiot. He HAS to lower the standards down and get into a shouting match, because he has no chances in any real debates. None what so ever, and this is because he is an idiot who has a TV show. With an idiot I mean a person who is the opposite of smart. I mean really stupid. Not because of his opinions, but the pure attributes of Billy boy are most likely in the area of being idiot and shouting at people. So the only way for Bill "to win", is to make the other person descend into his level of garbage, and then beat him at that. Then there might be an illusion amongst the brain damaged, that Bill "won the debate". But there never was a debate and Bill just shouted the loudest. To me he won the biggest idiot award, nothing else.

[Zkribbler]

So Pekka, you disagree with the OP that this is "great television."

[ZEE]

* note to self... dont piss off Pekka...

tis' trueness :beer:

I think everybody has a someone in their family, whom, during arguments, gets all red in the face, very angry, crazy eyes, starts yelling, and people fear he may get a heart attack, O Reilly is like that relative, but on tv.
