Jesus freaking christ - O'really on CNBC

[Selwynn]

Dude,

I know this guy is a lying asshole failure - but oh my good god, he was freaking out on (edit - CNBC) just now - totally freaking out, screaming, its so embarassing and utterly ridiculous... I can't believe it.

[HamHocks4Kerry]

1. I believe it. He hurts his own party with his lunacy.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

3. I was just talking to my husband about this. The guy has some serious

anger management issues. I thought I saw Mr. Krugman's hand shaking when he was reading that quote when the show was about to go off the air.

O'Reilly can go to hell! He's a maniac!

[Cat Atomic]

5. Yeah- Krugman looked nervous.

But O'Reilley looked like the biggest con artist, blowhard, prick on the planet.

[wtmusic]

7. Krugman is not a large man

and O'Reilly looked like he was about ready to haul off on him. I'd be nervous too.

O'Reilly has serious mental problems.

[HamHocks4Kerry]

8. I would say that he is egomaniacal. Megalomaniacal...

He thinks he is intelligent and always right. He's dangerous. Lots of people who listen to him actually believe that he is objective. Pffft!

[Selwynn]

12. Shit. I think I'm intelligent and almost always right....

...

Crap. I'm Oreilly. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[HamHocks4Kerry]

19. Hahha!

You may be intelligent and always right. O'Reilly is neither. :-)

[Cat Atomic]

22. I was reading a book by Howard Zinn, and a guy actually told me

I should read one of Bill O'Reilley's books for "balance". I couldn't keep myself from laughing and I said, "what do you mean? A little stupidity to balance out the intelligence?".

I didn't realize he was serious until I'd already insulted him but... well there you go. :P

[HamHocks4Kerry]

25. Amazes me. I've been told that, too.

"Balance" a well-written, researched, foot-noted book with a polemic rant. Sorry, don't need that kind of balance.

Tell guys like that that they need to see a couple of Moore documentaries to balance their viewing of Fox news.

[Miss Authoritiva]

27. I noticed Krugman's hand shaking too.

I've seen Krugman on C-SPAN speaking in front of 20 or 30 economic policy wonks and he seemed nervous then too. I get the feeling that being "on" is really not in his temperament. And then to go up against the kaleidoscopically splotchy and one-flamed-out-neuron-away from-total-psychosis Bill O'Reilly!

[POAS]

28. I thought Paul

was going to punch BOR in the first two minutes, I don't know how he made it through an hour next to that idiot.

[POAS]

29. It occurred to me

that the shaking may be from some neurological dis-order.

[newyawker99]

58. Hi POAS!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[POAS]

59. Thanks

[Misskittycat]

62. Paul Krugman is just fine in person

I had a chance to talk to him for a few minutes after a book signing this afternoon in North San Diego County. He wasn't nervous at all. He did a very good job. (As I cross-posted in the "Breaking News" forum) Krugman was asked about the O'Reilly interview. Krugman felt pretty good about it, but noted that nobody can really have enough experience debating a moron like that. (I'm paraphrasing a bit.) Someone asked if they were friendly or civil to each other off camera; Krugman replied that he hates O'Reilly. They are definitely not civil to each other off camera.

[AlCzervik]

40. Blow was like a school yard bully

that finally understands that the rest of the schoolyard is on to him. I give Krugman alot of credit for not just starting to screaming back, the less Krugman said the louder Blow would yell making himself look even worse. Russert was having a good time at others expense during this and i loved it when Blow Hole said something like..."If i was behaving so badly they'd trow me out of here." and Kurgman looks at Russert and says.."No way you'd do that". Once again Blow o"lielly proves himself..."Wholly without merit."

[ClintonTyree]

13. It also hurts..................

when he's getting his ass kicked in New York by his arch enemy Al Franken and AAR. That must dig into his craw more than anything else.

[nostamj]

15. HA! one of the BIGGEST laughs we get in the revue

is our attack on O'really! (it's part of a long 'media medley')

To the tune of “Bill Baily”
YOU’RE JUST A CLOWN O’REILLY
BILL, PLEASE SIT DOWN!
WE’RE DIZZY FROM YOUR SPINNING!

YOU LET AL FRANKEN BAIT YOU
AND PLAYED THE FOOL
THE DEVIL GOT HIS DUE

THE POMPOUS PRETENTIOUS RAVINGS
THAT MAKE UP YOUR SHTICK
IS JUST ANOTHER RIGHT WING RANT
YOUR SHOW ON FOX–
JON STEWART MOCKS
O’REILLY WON’T YOU PLEASE SHUT UP

[Dudley_DUright]

56. Great Lyrics Jeff

I heartily endorse your last line.

[HamHocks4Kerry]

21. He never admits it. Michael Moore ate his lunch last week...

by asking if he would send his own kids to Iraq. O'Reilly was speechless. Yet on his own show he said he whipped up on Moore. Hardly. :eyes:

[MichiganVote]

32. Moore nailed his ass and O'Really knows it

This guy is a publicity seeking bully with the conscience of your average behaviorally impaired rottweiler. Sick individual. But you know what? These types are scared too. After Kerry wins the election where do they go? What do they do?

[HamHocks4Kerry]

34. They'll probably do the same ol' tired shit, but no one will be watching.

I'd like to see all of them on the telly and on the airwaves just fade away.

[Occulus]

60. I... don't think so.

I think if Kerry wins, the Reich will become downright violent, abusive, and openly murderous.

[wtmusic]

2. and Krugman holding his own

refusing to back down to O'Reilly's "talkover" tactic

The bullying is withering under the force of logic

Good job Paul :thumbsup:

[DoYouEverWonder]

4. Holy shit, O'Reilly went off on Krugman?

What happened?

[nostamj]

6. you MUST watch the replay at 10pm or 1am (eastern)

surreal. scary. you'll think you've got Sci-Fi channel fused with Faux News and a bad Tarentino film

[Cat Atomic]

10. He went off three or four times. Whenever he was cornered, basically.

Krugman said that O'Reilley had stated on his show that Michael Moore hates America. O'Reilley denied ever having said that. Krugman insisted that he had. When O'Reilley again denied ever having made that statement, Krugman pulled out a sheet of paper with quotes from Bill's show and read the appropriate line.

O'Reilley asked him where got that quote, and Krugman replied that he got the clip from the Media Matters website.

O'Reilley began flailing his arms about, and shouting- really shouting- about 'oh! Media Matters! Do your own research, PAL! You're getting stuff from left wing hate groups!'.

Very funny.

[doc03]

24. He didn't deny the quote just attacked the source of it! I have heard

O'Liely say Micheal Moore hates America numerous times and I only listen to his radio program for a few minutes at times, that's all I can stand of his BS.

[Selwynn]

36. I didnt plan to watch it, I was flipping channels and found it.

[Shopaholic]

51. A standard right-wing tactic-attack the messenger

even when the message is correct. Why is it exactly that when Rush or Bill or any of the others quote the MRC that they don't disclose that it's a right-wing hate group?

The thing with O'Reilly I've observed is that he seems to truly believe he hasn't said the things he's said and when confronted with the truth--he can't or won't admit that he said them no matter what. He's clearly got some mental issues and I think his "success" has only added to his own believe in himself--he thinks he's super-human. We all know he's just a super asshole.

[doc03]

61. That's what he told Micheal Moore the other day on his show. Bush

thought there were WMD's in Iraq so when they weren't found he didn't really lie.

[iconoclastic cat]

37. Media Matters is a "left wing hate group"?

What a choad.

[wtmusic]

11. O'Reilly was getting his ass kicked and launched into Full Bully Mode

Russert, to his credit, gave Krugman equal time and nailed O'Reilly on some choice lies.

and I really, really hope the mods can do something about these *(*^(*&^&*^& dupes.

[jean]

17. What is the name of the show??? O'R's show or Russerts?

[Selwynn]

18. It was Rusert's on CNBC - don't know what its called

[POAS]

31. It's simply called "Tim Russert", at least on my schedule.

[Selwynn]

20. This is not a dupe.

Yes, there was a thread following the full show. I just to kick out and focus on the conclusion of the show, as that is all that mattered to me.

I've never undestood what the big problem is with "dupes" - just hide it if that's what you feel it is.

[CatWoman]

23. I'm not hiding anything

and I maintain and defend my right to state my opinion.

I don't care how you spin it, a dupe is a dupe is a dupe.

on edit: It's a matter of courtesy -- is your thread more important than the other, in that that one wasn't good enough, and you had to start your own?

I always scan before I post, and if I have posted a dupe, I immediately ask that it be removed.

But hey, that's just me.

[Selwynn]

35. Ok, that's your right. It's also mine to post what I want

I felt this deserved moved out of another thread. I'm sorry you disargee. There's no reason to be an asshole about it.

[Selwynn]

38. Perhaps my title is the problem

You normally seem like a fairly reasonable, usually congenial person, so perhaps it was my thread title that is the big deal - I didn't mean the thread to be "hey everyone heads up, O'really is on CNBC." I know there is a thread about that.

My thread was to draw people's attention (who perhaps weren't looking at the other thread) to the fact that O'really was totally freaking OUT on CNBC in a seriously crazy way, and that I was shocked about it.

Maybe that is more clear.

[dogman]

9. O'Vilely is ridiculous.

Facts don't matter, just vicious attacks and attempted intimidation. I've found that his fans act in the same manner.

[ClintonTyree]

16. You're correct..................

my brother thinks he's great and my brother, although he's blood and I love him, is a loudmouth bully just like Bill.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

26. I have to say

he is amusing to watch because he's such a belligerent hot head. He is the only tv talk show host I have ever seen that regularly tells his guests to "shut up". I don't care for his opinions, but he's very entertaining.

[Yogi]

30. entraining, entraining arrogant asshole.

n/t

[Selwynn]

39. He seriously scares me

[truizm]

33. Is there a transcipt of this available anywhere?

I don't have cable.

[Bozita]

41. I think that there was something in Friday's Wash Post

O'Reilly is really riding on the edge.

[proud patriot]

48. Here's another thread that followed the show

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=2176195&mesg_id=2176195

[kentuck]

42. What an obnoxious embarrassment !

He looked silly.

[Osama_Bin_Winnin]

43. Krugman's hands were shaking madly right after

O'Reilley got loud and said "I'm not gonna take that from you" in an argument over whether or not Krugman's book had predicted that Bush's tax cits would cause a deeper recession. O'Reilley picked up on it and really went after him. I don't think Kruggman's shake is neurological. He also looked generally scared and his eyes were darting about but never meeting O'Reilley's.

We need to get our Ph D's onto weight training and ultimate fighting training programs or we'll never win a debate on cable TV.

[AlCzervik]

44. Thats Krugman, if he got lessons in how to debate

assholes and then acted on them he wouldn't be the same guy. Nothing wrong with him, his numbers are the ones that add up, he's got no explaining to do to anyone nor does he need to do any "Weight training." We have people already that can do that.

[Osama_Bin_Winnin]

45. OK, Krugman could skip the weight training

if he picks up some grappling skills or maybe some knife fighting. He's wiry he could probably get under O'Reilley and take him down since they start out so close in those chairs.

[Osama_Bin_Winnin]

50. Krugman Neurological Disorder ?

No joking this time.

I'm watching the replay and 2 minutes in, beofre any on-screen confrontation, Krugmans fingers are shaking. He seems to try to grab his hands or forearms to stop it. So O'Rreilly isn't just picking on a PhD he's picking on an ill PhD.

Has O'Reilley ever gone upm against Jesse Ventura ?

[seabeyond]

52. he is just nervous

i have seen every person that went in front of 9/11 commission do the same thing. reno was the only one with a disease for reason of the shaking hands and voice.

doesnt have to be a deal. he isnt used to being on tv like oreilly and russert

[seabeyond]

46. or maybe we just dont allow bullies

why do we always go to the physical combative way. why not allow krugman to be intellectual not ass kickin and he be the man

not little boy bully oreilly

[spotbird]

49. If intimidation of ones opponent and shouting him down equals victory

then we do need to recruit bigger bullies.

[goforit]

47. Hey did anyone view Russert as timid?.....The Plame deal is haunting!!!

[oasis]

53. kick

[Gregorian]

54. Krugman walks away from this looking brilliant, I think.

I'm coming away from this with a couple of thoughts-



The taxes we propose, in order to combat this huge dificit are no worse than those during the 90's. And we all know how horrible the economy was then.

It is surprising how it takes a brilliant economist to combat idiotic barrages like the ones O'Reilly throws out. Amazingly difficult. Like putting out a fire that an arson lights.

O'Rielly is a bad man.

Edit- Didn't know it was an hour show. There's more.

O'Rielly used the word "vile" in describing Krugman's column and those in the NYT.

What I see going on here is nothing short of a political boxing match where certain people are fighting for the legitimacy of their political belief. And it appears that they are willing to use untruths in order to accomplish that. It is for personal gratification, and if they had any good in them, they would think of how their lies will affect the future generations. Talk about no child left behind. These liars will affect this country for years to come.

O'Reilly is brain damaged. He has some kind of autism, or disease. Good on facts, nonexistent on morals.

[Osama_Bin_Winnin]

55. I'm sure

all 15 of us who are watching Russert on a Saturday night agree with you.

[FredScuttle]

57. It's hilarious to see how much Franken bugs O'Really

Al seems to have gotten deep under O'Really's skin...he practically spit blood every time he brought him up...and notice how cute ol' Billy was in calling him "Stuart Smalley"...not at all juvenile :eyes:

Hey Bill! How does it feel to be Stuart Smalley's bitch? :evilgrin:
