O'Neill coming up on Tweety...Let's see how the Tweetster

[janx]

deals with it...

[TheDonkey]

1. Why did he only have rethugs on the panel to discuss McGreevy

I'm so glad bsnbc is going under next year.

[Placebo]

2. I was wondering that too...

buchanan, a republican strategist, and 2 reporters...

real balanced :eyes:

[Qutzupalotl]

3. They're going under next year?

Do you know something I don't? Details, please! :)

:bounce:ing with anticipation

[Shopaholic]

47. On MSNBC-one of Murdoch's rags printed a story that Microsoft

wanted to withdraw funding for the network--it's been repeated elsewhere but the story began with Murdoch. Take it for what it's worth. My guess is that NBC isn't going to let MSNBC go down without a fight--they'd at most--just rename it and continue on without Microsoft. Wishful thinking on part of Murdoch and his minions.

[janx]

4. The McGreevey coverage is typical slime--getting into other

people's underpants again. More sensationalism.

It's very tiresome. MSNBC should hear from us about it.

Why on earth do people think that sexual jollies have anything to do with whether or not any person can be an effective leader? I will never understand this.

[Lancer]

5. Tweety nailing

O'Neill!

"Let's use naval and military terminology and stop using personal inflections."

[Lancer]

6. TWEETY: "Why

do you disagree with the Navy on this?" (Silver Star)

O'NEILL: "Because the Navy doesn't know the facts."

[Placebo]

7. TWEETY: "well compare that to bush!"

"is he less a hero than bush?"

GREAT.

o'neil: "i am not a republican from texas." HA.

[elperromagico]

8. Matthews: "Is he (Kerry) less a hero than Bush?"

And O'Neill dodges it.

[redstateblues]

Chris On Fire- "Oldest Conservative Trick"

O'Neil said 'You Won't Let Me Talk" Chris said You've had 20 minutes- that's the oldest trick in the book- usually conservative!!

[Kahuna]

9. Tweety asks if Kerry showed more bravery than bush? Snarf...

Tweety also calls O'Neill a Republican from Texas. Tweety just got O'Neill to admit that he is from Houston.

[Placebo]

10. O'Neil says he voted for GORE?!?! HA!

Now I seriously doubt that.

[redstateblues]

11. That's His Cover- It's B.S.

[JPJones]

13. He's sure wasted a lot of money on repubs then

17. Oh yeah. Those are classic Democratic contributions. n/t

[senseandsensibility]

20. Is there a way to find out if

this idiot contributed to * in 2000? I'll bet he did. I KNOW he did not vote for Gore. Lying sack of *.

[janx]

26. Link, please!

Please!

[JPJones]

28. www.newsmeat.com

on the left side. Look for 'Today's most popular searches'

[janx]

35. Please email this list and source to [e-mail] !

Just to make sure...

[mzmolly]

38. If we could PROVE who he voted for, it might make for nice dish.

Send this info to MSNBC and then some quick! I'd love to see this sucka sqwirm!

[vickie]

44. This list is a devistating blow to this despicable,

sanctimonious liar.

[geek tragedy]

52. He donated to Duane "Black Helicopters" Sand?!?!?!?!?!

:silly:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

14. I would give my right nut...

To get my hands on O'Neill's psychiatric evaluations and records. I bet they would make for some very interesting reading.

[ibegurpard]

16. Complete bullshit

An effective and hard-hitting Democratic strategist and spokesperson needs to confront this slimeball with this right-wing water-carrying dating back to Nixon. He was a clerk for Rehnquist. Don't allow him to make claims like "I voted for Gore without making him answer for his past conservative activities.
Don't leave it to Tweety to do it, either, because we all know where that will end up going in the long run. If the pundit shows refuse to have hard-hitting, effective Democratic spokespeople on then the Democrats need to boycott the shows and disavow the milquetoasts that the shows DO have on.

[janx]

12. This should have been on during the whole hour.

It's serious stuff. Instead, there was a full half hour on the NJ governor's sexual orientation and resignation.

[elperromagico]

18. When Kerry and O'Neill debated on "The Dick Cavett Show"

back in the seventies, they were given (IIRC) 90 minutes - not counting commercials - of almost nothing but debate.

Times have - unfortunately, in this case - changed.

[elperromagico]

15. O'Neill: The Swift Boat Liars "wish they didn't have to do this."

Bullshit.

[grasswire]

19. why won't....

...Tweety give the AWOL story his full attention? It deserves its own show, too.

Why?

Why?

[elperromagico]

21. Matthews castigated O'Neill for complaining about not getting equal time.

"We could clock how much time you got here. Don't pull that," or something like that. "That's a very conservative trick."

O'Neill looked like he was going to cry.

[redstateblues]

22. Awesome rejoinder-Chris is winning me back this week.

[janx]

24. Tweety probably saw tapes of O'Neill. O'Neill is famous for using

that trick. Normally he never stops talking in order to try and drown out any opposition.

[grasswire]

23. ha!

Tweety nailed O'Neill on what he said was a "conservative tactic" -- whining about not being allowed to talk after talking for twenty minutes!!

At the end, Tweety said that Kerry did more for his country than Bush.

Take that, O'Neill!

[MoonRiver]

25. I couldn't remember the exact words, but it was

Kerry did more for his country than Bush!!!! :kick::kick::kick:

[senseandsensibility]

27. OK, next step....

e-mail Matthews (I'll skip the Tweety out of regard for his performance tonight), and say THANKS. His big ego will respond. Then urge him to do a show on the AWOL scandal. Sound like a plan? What's a good e-mail address for Mr. Matthews?

[janx]

30. Here:

[e-mail]

[e-mail]

[Sparkly]

31. [e-mail]

I sent a "thank you" immediately! He approached that interview the way it needed to be handled. Beauuuuuutiful smackdown!!

[senseandsensibility]

33. Great!

Just sent an e-mail to Journalist Matthews:

Dear Mr. Matthews:

Tonight I watched a true journalist in action. Your skill was impressive. Besides skill, I noticed some emotion during your interview with Mr. O'Neill. Many of us have been feeling this same emotion as we watch this former soldier smear another American patriot without being challenged. I am glad that you finally exposed this republican dirty trickster for what he is. It needed to be done, and you did it. When you get those angry e-mails from right-wingers, just remember that they represent a very small percentage of the American public.

After your impressive performance tonight, I would like to ask you a favor. Would you please devote the same amount of time to the Bush military record? Specifically, I would like to learn more about why he refused a military physical and was grounded. You obviously have the skills to handle such a topic fairly, and it should be covered by a mainstream journalist before the election.

[mzmolly]

40. GREAT LETTER!

:toast:

[MoonRiver]

36. Me too!

Tonight Chris is da MAN!! :yourock:

[Reciprocity]

32. here you go.

[e-mail]

Lol I need to refresh more.

[Reciprocity]

29. When the good Tweedy is good he's damn good.

I liked the part where O'Neill said the ship (cant remember the name) wasn't considered to be in combat territory which Tweedy replied that his brother was on that ship and it was in combat territory according to the Navy. This was his fist purple heart not the swift boat one.

[KharmaTrain]

34. Boy Do We Need An Edward Murrow!!

Tweety did a surgical job on O'Neill...he was measured on how he went about it (unlike his usual bombastic style) and he didn't do a thorough job.

Surely Tweety's done his homework on this topic and had seen O'Neill's other appearances; each one unmasking him further. He knew about the Colson connection (Lawrence O'Donnell brought that out two nights ago), hinted at his Houston/Repugnican connections, but didn't nail him as the fraud Tweety must surely know he is.

Yes, he can't bend over backwards and sound like Kerry's surrogate, but there was more that he could have asked or probed further and he pulled back. I'm not sure if time got away from him or he's holding all this info back for another reason, but there are still some unanswered question about Mr. O'Neill that beg to be put in the same light O'Neill places Kerry, and by assocation, the U.S. Navy.

We need someone who will finally stand up and do what Murrow did with McCarthy and speak in direct language of what is happening here and how extremely deceptive this "Swiftboat" operation is. This is beyond unethical or a "dirty trick"...this is an attempt to destroy a man's life that will taint him for the rest of his life...win or lose this election...and all based on such biased and pre-determined reasons.

Someone has to bring up the Rehnquist connections (quid pro quo??), the money he's donated to Repugnicans (Kudos to the rapid response here...but we're posting to the choir...why didn't Tweety have that list ready to waive in O'Neill's face???) It only took 30 seconds for someone to pull it up and post it here...it's not that hidden.

Next is to expose this goon Corsi and not let O'Neill weasel out as to his role in the gathering of the "information" and the writing of this slime. Other Texas connections must be exposed as well. The folks at Bartcop found some great stuff about the server the site is hosted on and the many co-incidental relationships...ala Arkansas project, that's going on here.

Yes, for most people, the lie has been spread and Kerry has been damaged. There's not much that can be done now, but to press for the accusers to now stand under the same light at the accused. Tweety failed not only his viewers, he failed himself in not putting the truth ahead of the spin.

[janx]

37. He didn't have enough time. The whole first half of that program

concerned itself with the sexual orientation of the governor of New Jersey!

He did well with the time he had.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

39. We Must Have Been Watching Different Programs....

Matthews destroyed him.....


It was a massacre....

[mzmolly]

41. Can't wait to see the repeat tonight!

:hi:

I missed the first airing.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

42. Tweety Destroyed Him...

O'Neil had a bad case of the hummina humminas....

[janx]

43. You'll be glad you checked it out.

Everyone needs to send Tweety an "attaboy" email. The freeps, of course, are sending insulting ones by the dozens. One of them even pretended to be a Democrat--emulating Mr. O'Neill, I suppose.

[mzmolly]

45. I look forward to tuning in!

:hi:

[Shopaholic]

48. Copy to

[e-mail] too--make sure the suits see the praise for combatting GOP bullshit & lies. I've already fired off my e-mails thanking him! And I mentioned that Media Matters had found that O'Neil had given nearly $15,000 to Republican candidates (and only Repug candidates) in the past 14 years.

[KharmaTrain]

46. Masacred Them? Hardly, O'Neill's Still Lying...

O'Neill was lying and Tweety knew it and didn't nail him on it. He spent far more time on the medals and failed to answer the question he, himself kept asking..."what is it you guys are trying to do?"

For those of us who have seen this slander attack become credible, it's not only an outrage, but a very omnious sign for us all if someone can lie indiscriminately without his own credibility put to the same measure he's put others up to.

O'Neill's a paid hit man whose message was programmed and his credibility has easily traced conflicts, yet they're not brought up as much as the lies.

Don't acept the fact Tweety didn't kiss O'Neill's ass like other interview shows as being a masacre...the lies are still being spread and doing damage. The liars are walking unchallenged and emboldened to go for even more.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

51. What Part Of Massacre Don't You Understand...

Tweety ripped him a new asshole...


O'Neil's credibility was in tatters...


At the end O'Neil had a bad case of the hummina humminas....

[KharmaTrain]

53. O'Neill's Still Standing...He Needs To Be Shut Up

Once and for all.

When the box is opened wide on this lying asshole, the Vietnam attacks on Kerry will end. While he's shooting off his pie hole this stays an issue that shouldn't have been one in the first place.

In a perfect world, O'Neill's lies would have never made it to print...or the media would have scrutinized this enterprise before it was splashed all over the media. O'Neill has lied non-stop and continues to lie. You can dump a bucket of horse shit and he'll still go on lying. The only way to shut him and his horde is to put them on the defensive and unmask them for the partisan bullies they are.

Tweety asked the question "why do you guys hate Kerry"...and never pressed for the real answer. O'Neill flat out lied about being either an Independent or Democrat, while Tweety could have had at his fingertips the list of O'Neill's political contributions over the past decade that is all Repugnican. Why didn't he do this?

When O'Neill was asked about his association with Corsi the other night (Lawrence O'Donnell...the only man with real cajones to go after O'Neill), O'Neill was flop-sweating a river. Tweety had to have seen that tape (it was on HIS network afterall) and there's a large paper trail on these guys. All that tweety tried to get O'Neill to admit is the guy lived in Houston. No follow up and O'Neill's off with yet another lie to confuse and distort here.

O'Neil's playing a rear guard action to keep the dialogue off this regime's dismal military record and their willingness to send your children to die in wars they directly profit from. Spending hours debunking horseshit takes away precious time and resources from the major selling job we still need to do to ensure this regime is removed next January and the "corner is turned" to returning this nation to some sanity. By letting O'Neill go on and on to distract and distort is to give this regime breathing room just when we're starting to strip away their evil veneer.

Now, wrongly, Kerry's military record and judgement have been unduly slandered and still haven't been properly defended. I'm astounded at the depths the Rove machine went to spread this slime and how it went from a curiosity story to a major controversy. We allow these assholes to continue these tactics (and Tweety knew he was being played when he called O'Neill on the "you haven't really heard the story" bullshit) truth and fairness stand little chance to big money liars who are never held accountable.

Tweety blew it. Who is there to stand down these assholes? Maybe one of the weekend shows? Or maybe Max Cleland and the other brothers will finally break their silence. Or maybe Kerry himself will have to put out this fire (I sure as hell hope it doesn't get to that point)...but the story still has legs. It needs to get squashed.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

49. Just finished watching it

Tweety ripped O'Neil a new one. O'Neil was given enough rope to hang himself and then whinned that he wasn't given enough time to talk. Geez!!!!! What a pussy.

[Zo Zig]

50. ??????

Why hasn't anyone on the puking heads tour connected ONeil's law partner to *'s administration? Or the work they do for various large oil companies?
