Are you going to have any follow up on the Tiller the Killer story? Thanks and yippy!
Thanks for the heads up.
You should read Paul Krugman today on the nature of Fox news. A majority of Fox viewers believe either that Saddam supported the 9/11 attacks (he didn’t) or that he had WMDs at the time of the invasion (he didn’t).
My two U.S.Senators voted for amnesty.
I think they may have shot themselves in their feet,politicaly.
When you ignore thousands of messages to vote NO on amnesty,it is time for a recall of those “Public Servants”.They work for us!Listen up!
THANK GOD.
Coulter cleaned Bill’s clock last night, then Bill went on to Paris Hilton. It was ugly. Seriously, what’s up with Bill these days? He’s lucky he’s not on Beck’s timeslot!
The Malkin Factor would be an excellent permanent fixture.
Bill O’Reilly in a dress!
AAAAAAGH, MY EYES!!!
So when are you gonna get your own show??????????
After all….You have so much free time. I hear you only work half days……12 hours
Okay, great, more non-coverage of the Iraq war by Fox News.
Query: Is it really nessary for MM to gloat about how we’re doing nothing about immigration?
Query: Speaking of no-spin and fair and balanced, why not have a liberal who has some vital signs rather than the washed-up losers Fox trots out to pretend to be fair and balanced?
Re: lgm #3
Paul Krugman!
You mean the idiotic leftist economics professor who has been predicting a recession ever since Bush became President? Can’t you cite a more credible source than him?
Great news about Michelle’s guest-hosting stint today. Finally I can actually endure the O’Reilly show.
Exactly…there are large gaps of time when she does nothing but sleep.
Raise your hand if you get the SNL Christopher Walken reference…
mikeb
Get real the libs are always invited and refuse because they cant sustain an intelligent conversation for more than 3.5 seconds.
Like O’Reilly. LOVE Michelle.
When is FNC going to WAKE UP and give you a show, Michelle???
Is that even something you’d be interested in doing?
You just pop in to MM.com and casually suggest you guys really should read some Krugman….. come on. Really.
Maybe you should read some at MRC.org about Krugman, who is about the least objective columnist in the world.
Maybe you would like to consider that 35% of Democrats think Bush knew about and allowed the 9-11 attacks. Who’s responsible for that utterly false propaganda? You libtards, that’s who.
What about the “fake but accurate” document scandal at C-BS? All of them have lied to America about conservative politicians and conservatism in general for 40 years, most of all The New York Times.
Stop selling here pal, you knocked on the wrong door. Nobody is buying.
There, fixed that for ya, Mikey. Mikey likes it!
I just want to know what Kirsten Powers never hosts the O’Reilly Factor?
Bill said it was because John Kasich (moderate) and MM (conservative) know how the show is supposed to be run. Does that mean no liberals are allowed to host?
Just a thought.
OT a little bit
On Special Report with Brit Hunme last night Mort Conrache(sic?)
was beside himself talking about us loud mouth nativist bigots.
That condesending I know better than the masses attitude that got shocked to high heaven in the shamnesty senate.
If anybody wants news and analysis by and for liberals, it’s all over the place. Just flip to CNN. Why no calls for Olbermann to have right wing guest hosts? If fairness is what you really want, why just focus on one channel out of many(who are all lib all the time)?
Fairness is not the objective here. The real objective is Chavez style control of opposing points of view. The media market today is full of more choices than ever, and if you don’t like some of the choices, the you have a channel button or an off button on your remote.
That’s not good enough for libs, somebody might actually CHOOSE to hear right of center points of view, and that must be stopped, by force of law if necessary. Stalinist.
If you don’t like Michelle or O’Reilly, then watch Screwball Matthews or Olberdork if you want, but KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY SHOWS!
Look forward to seeing Michelle tonight put some common sense on the airwaves for once:)
Schweggie
Coulter was SWEEEEET! I love how she addressed the audience when she couldn’t get a simple thought through Bill’s head. She was looking right at me I swear!
A man can dream.
Speaking of dreams, count me in for Malkin Factor! Bill is just a bore and I know Michelle will not fall back on Pari_ Hil___. For that I know I can speak for us all here and say thanks Michelle – in advance.
Your show? Wow, I didn’t know you owned it. It’s just as much my show as it is yours. Fair and balanced means its a valid question of why Kirsten can’t host and MM can. That’s all.
Isn’t it obvious that if you put libs hosting Fox shows then the core audience will drop out because that’s available everywhere else.
My anger in that comment wasn’t directed at you, just libs in general who want to say Fox must be balanced but deny the rest of the media is horribly tilted to the left on all issues.
If you polled Factor viewers and asked who they want to guest host, I bet that Michelle wins by a landslide. I have nothing against Kirsten, I like her just fine. Sure she could host sometime. Just not tonight.
Maybe I’m a little touchy because of this “Fairness Doctrine” debate the last few days. No offense intended, DarkKnight. How’s the weather in Gotham these days?
It is always good when Michelle hosts the show.
It is also nice to know that Michelle hosting O’Reilly gets the Libs’ panties in a bunch (DarkKnight, lgm and MikeB…truth hurts, huh?).
For some small examples of hate speech on right wing television and radio, check out
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/06/28/pelosi-talk-radio/
Don’t be afraid. A liberal web site will not harm you.
The libs already own all the other networks.
Let us watch what we want.
I do believe the ‘(un)fairness doctrine’ was officially buried last night?
Let’s just leave it there gentlemen.
Think Progress?
ya.. progressively into communism.
I think I’ll skip it
The weather is great, thanks for asking.
My issue isn’t with the fact the fact that she can’t host tonight. It’s just that she hasn’t hosted any night. That is where I have a big issue. O’Reilly never ceases to trump the fact that liberals are on just as much as conservatives… just not as hosts. Ever.
PBoilermaker, it’s nice to know I have been catagorized already. I ask questions and instead of getting answers, some people just insult. And I might ask “truth hurts?” I don’t even know what truth you are talking about since I, too, like when MM hosts the show. I just wish Powers had a chance to host too. I’d like to think she can handle her own just fine up there. Do you not agree?
For some small examples of hate speech on left wing television and radio, check out
media research center
Don’t be afraid. A conservative web site will not harm you.
All right! Too bad you got the sub-in after we killed Shamnesty, it would been a lot easier. Bill seemed to be embargoing the Amnesty story.
Maybe O’Reilly is priming KP for a host spot in the future? He seems to respond to viewer opinions pretty well.
Like I said before, liberal hosts are literally everywhere else on the dial. I do think KP would do a nice job on the Factor, as she is one of the more reasonable Dem talking heads out there.
I hope he does let her host, but maybe Michelle is more prepared right now. Perhaps you should email the bigO and ask that very question?
They have broadened the definition of WMDs to include biological and chemical weapons. Which Iraq had. Convenient . Maybe.
How can anyone not love Michelle ? You have to admit she always stands strong on what she believes . Never wavering or compromising .Respect if nothing else.
Fox news is not perfect . Look at they way they keep rammimg that racist at large down our throats morning , noon ,and night.Although they are a welcome alternative to the msm .
Be nice if you could get Chertoff on, last night he said that DHS was going to focus on building the fence. I wonder.
Be seeing you …
Weak tactic, DK…I see you are a self appointed victim in every aspect of your life, even regarding online debate.
Your very own comments on this and other threads have already characterized you.
Good! I was really steamed at O’Reilly last night. He’s on the wrong side of illegal immigration. Ann Coulter verbally whooped him too. Thanks for giving us a break tonight!!
O’Reilly steams me too, sometimes. I really despise his misinformation on the petroleum industry, he goes to Paris for ratings and acts all fake indignant about it, and most of all immigration.
He’s been saying for years that we should militarize the border instead of a fence, then pivots and jumps in the tank for shamnesty. He’s taken to being a little soft on the war also. But he’s waaaay better than that toxic idiot Olberdork, or the fatheaded Democrat operative loudmouth Screwball Matthews.
Such are or choices.
I believe you do yourself a disservice when you state that a person who simply asks questions to issues most people don’t want to talk about is painting themselves as a victim. That’s nonsense.
I have asked a simple question of why KP has never hosted a show. I would hope conservatives and liberals alike would ask that questions.
In other threads I have asked why is it that people seek to either make race the ENTIRE discission or make it NONE at all. There is no moderation from my standpoint. That is not painting me as a victim.
When discussing gun rights, I ask the question why people want all guns banned and why people want no guns banned at all.
These aren’t tactics. These are questions. I’m appreciative that you are writing back and responding. But the fact is I have called no one an oppressor, I have called no one out of their name (as some have done to me) and I have tried to answer questions to me from my perspective. I would hope that you would welcome thoughtful dialogue without being judgmental. But by posting things such as this, you are only proving stereotypes correct that debate is only appropiate when only your side is heard.
I don’t speak in absolutes, DK. Don’t attribute your disdain with the comments of others to me.
There are very few absolutes in life and I doubt you will find many who truly see things as being 100% towards either extreme.
The very fact that we are -all- different in one way or another factors into everything we say and do. It is ignorant to believe otherwise. Thus, true equality is never attainable as we are physically and emotionally prevented from reaching that state. This is fact. How you choose to adapt to these differences is what makes the difference. Celebrate diversity as a fact of life and move forward, or focus on diversity and continue to fight amongst yourselves.
Still looking forward to MM tonight.
“Speaking of no-spin and fair and balanced, why not have a liberal who has some vital signs rather than the washed-up losers Fox trots out to pretend to be fair and balanced?”
How ’bout the liberal PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES? Do they have “vital signs”? Because they’ll too scared to GO ON FOX NEWS.
BOR called to have Elizabeth Edwards on to discuss “hate speech”. She said no. And her husband was STILL hiding behind her skirt.
The Dems… they can’t stand up to Brit Hume, but they’ll take on the terrorists. Yeah, right.
Hey DarkKnight, Kristen has hosted a few times (I happen to remember 3 but it could have been more) but she came across as quite nervous which was a bit odd as she never seems that way when she’s on any other time.
Anyway, I will be watching. To tell the truth I like everyone who co-hosts except for John Kacich (sp?).
I would not want him on with MM, at least not in person.
Have you looked at the guy?
He looks sick from something, no clue as to what it might be though.
Gotta go set my TIVO, that way I can watch her sevearal times.
Kind of like a good movie, sometimes you blink and miss a good moment.
Terrig:
If that is indeed the case than I stand corrected. I have tried to watch BOR as often as I can and do not recall seeing KP on there.
To be frank, I would like to see MM and KP co-host the factor vis-a-vis Hannity & Colmes or Crossfire. Now THAT would be fun to watch!
PB:
Agreed for the most part to your post. How many times have you seen people just go off the handle and call liberals Communist or Socialist, and Conservatives Fascists? Surely it is much more common to lump people together and point out the extreme than address legitimate dissent? To me, that’s why the constant S-P talk on BOR bothers me to a point because it is only talking about the extreme. But alas, it is who he thinks is causing the most trouble, so I do not doubt his desire to point out those who he sees as dangerous.
Gawd, is it 5 yet?
Who wants a Dobbs/Malkin08 bumper sticker?
Malkin/Steele or Malkin/Cornyn for me!
Hope Michelle covers Sam Switchback tonight. I’m still reeling over the weasly backbonelessness of it…almost comical.
So… so…un-Fred-like.
I’ll be watching Michelle; could you invite Geraldo on? I’d love to see you hand him his head again, please.
Fox News need to give me a job, so I could show you how to debate……
Michelle is too smart to run for president. Want proff? Look at the last 4 (at least).
Come on , Michelle for President . I love her but that temper of hers and access to an ICBM ! Although the countries of the world might start paying us off instead . Scared straight .
I look forward to MM simply because she sticks to her principles and convictions regardless of the political climate. It is beyond refreshing and something that you can’t say for many others in the media.
Preaching to the choir, I know (Lib ringers excluded, of course).
Maybe preaching to the choir, but bears repeating.
Wonder if Malkin is going to be handed the reigns for that timeslot on FOX sometime soon. O’Reilly is no spring chicken, plus he’s really lost some of his edge (meltdown with Geraldo notwithstanding). Things that make you go hmmmmm….
My brother yesterday said he would like to see Geraldo at Large booted in favor of a weekend H&C type show with Malkin vs. Powers, and invite Mary Katharine Ham for discussing the internets, among other guests. Not a bad idea, eh?
Hmmmm indeed. That would be both logical and outstanding.
Anything involving Geraldine-o leaving is a good idea. Throw in Michelle getting her own program and it borders on fantasy for me!!!
When is Geraldine-o going to realize that every time he opens his mouth, someone hands him his – ummm – hat?
Superb.
Would still prefer a weekday slot for max exposure. “On the Record with Michelle Malkin”?
LOL. Plus, his stache is beyond obnoxious. For the love of all that is holy, exit that stache stage left, stat.
O’Rielly and Greta are pretty entrenched where they are, so I don’t see a big shakeup in the primetime on FNC anytime soon. The weekend hours are where they are most flexible in the programming, so that’s got a much better shot in the shorter term, IMO.
Plus the core audience for FNC would throw a collective party if Geraldo were to be replaced with our Queen of the blogosphere, given the exchanges they’ve had lately.
Maybe we should start melting Roger Ailes’s phones and email now?
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!
I just remembered that the ladies did a couple of shows called “The Vent”. That would be the perfect show on FOX.
Remember these?
http://hotair.com/archives/2006/09/14/the-conservative-view/
http://hotair.com/archives/2006/09/14/the-conservative-view/
Any seconds?
Now we have something worthwhile on Fox tonight. Always look forward to MM taking over for O’Reilly. Please pass along to someone at Fox most viewers simply cannot sit through a minute of Geraldo. Flip goes that little button on the ‘mote in spite of myself. So, MM, order up a big box of tissue for anyone being interviewed that’s not prepared for debate. We’ll be watching.
Sorry, linked the same one twice. Try this one too:
http://hotair.com/archives/2006/10/20/the-vent/
Now, that is perfection!
I do remember those “View” segments, and they were pretty good. I think the one vs. one format is a little better though. Too many hosts is a frustrating element of that format IMHO.
I like MM vs.KP, with resident internets pundit MKH, and maybe rotating talk radio hosts as guests, like Ingraham one week, then Hannity, then Levin, then Hewitt to discuss what’s hot on their callers minds.
Of course Rush would be awesome, but he wouldn’t do it.
I hope it isn’t like last week(?), when it was just Bill talking at MM.
no no. It will be Michelle in the bigO’s chair! He’s gone tonight and we have a host. Much better:)
MUSLIMS in England, swarming like flys all over the country,they have taken over spain, and London IS FILLED WITH THEM,they want to blow up the world,and are licking their chops wanting US, the infidels,….they are demoniac. and dont think they dont live among us..and hate us simply because we believe in GOD the Creator…the are the anti- CHRIST.that have, and will contenue to put many Christans to death,
Michelle and Kirstern WERE given their own show several months ago. However, I believe it did poorly in the ratings and was pulled after the pilot episode.
Even though we are fans of Michelle, I just don’t think she’s mainstream enough for Fox to give her her own show.
Fox News really needs to examine its progamming choices.
1. Red Eye (comes on in prime-x in HI)& Greg Gutfeld is an inane/profane zero.
2. O’Reilly’s heart is usually in the right place, but as someone said, supra, he really has lost his edge. He never was much of a polemicist.
3. Greta is sweet, but “true crime” wears thin.
CNN, on the other hand, appears to be learning.
Glen Beck, from what I’ve seen, is refreshing and, not to blaspheme, almost Michelle-like in his forthright clarity.
AC seems intelligent, honest and centrist (remember the Hizbollah “ambulance charade”).
Lou Dobbs is a bit of a, dare I say it,
loose cannon, but he sure knows how to do a hatchet-job.
The left-wingers seem to hate Anderson Cooper. I have to say, although I’ve only seen a little bit of him, that he does seem to question liberal orthodoxy at times. No wonder the Jon Stewart fans hate him!
How about – steady – MM on with Anderson Cooper? He’s a pretty bright guy, but his staffers probably give him pretty one-sided notes. MM could fill him in…and it would confound CNN to have ratings go up when a conservative is on.
OK, never mind O’Malkin it is.
3 min to MM
Got my chips and a cold one.
I’am ready!
Why doesn’t MM cover this, Powell on Guantanamo:
The reason I am feeling so strongly about Guantanamo is that while we’re arguing these legal issues, we are getting killed in terms of our international reputation because of the place. And we are losing around the world. And what makes it even more difficult is some of the biggest thugs in the world and people that you want to press on moral issues and human rights issues hide behind Guantanamo and say don’t lecture us when you have Guantanamo.
????????????
Gee those arguments were sure inacurate for the Immigration Bill, lets see if it passed they vote Democrat and it didnt pass and the big “you wait and see what happens” no latino votes for two generations” how lame was that? lmao, and the numbers guy Juan was pulling info out his rump 77% roflmao, Thanks Michelle for exposing them.
What about National Security…….still laughing……
Thanks Michelle, your appearances on FNC are a real treat and the perfect update on current events. Your the best.
About the segment on amnesty: it is better to do the right thing for America than crying because of a loss of political power.
The Democrats, i.e. the Communists, on one hand hate America and on the other hand cling to power, they don’t give a damn about what makes this country great: its unified social fabric, its language, its culture, its borders, its military, and its economy.
The Communists on the Left would dupe the people to make them believe they are on their side and on the side of the minorities while in reality they are screwing the Blacks and Latinos and using them to have an easy access to power in a country they don’t love in the first place.
Oh, the United States should base it’s security policies on what a bunch of thugs are hectoring about. This is not some campaign debate where you’re looking for brownie points, this is a freakin WAR!
“Don’t lecture me you’ve got Guantanamo”
O.K. let’s compare detention facilities with any of these third world scumbags.
We’ve let in International Red Cross and others. Let us in your torture dungeons and let’s really have a comparison. Oh you can’t do that?
Well don’t lecture us about Gitmo one more second, and maybe we won’t flatten your secret police HQ you Nazi-like monsters. How’s that for diplomacy?
Damning the man for wanting RATINGS to actually go UP?
When it has CERTAINLY taken out WHOLE VILLAGES – ABSOLUTELY.
Play your word games with your own life, and leave the others to survive IF WE SO CHOOSE.
Fox News is the only one that EVEN PURPORTS to host BOTH SIDES – and by their own TABULATING count THEY STILL REPORTED OPENLY THAT THEY LEAN LEFT.
ALL the other news sources are LIBERAL and make NO PRETENCE that even allowing anyone at all to voice a Conservative viewpoint THERE is DEAD WRONG AND EVIL.
You have lots of sources to hear your desired Liberal pablum.
Petition to get one of them to take your favorite Liberal babe and give her her own show – maybe she can make a big success like Katie Couric.
You have the right to Free Speech – you do NOT have the right to a CAPTIVE AUDIENCE.
If folks were flooding Fox News with requests for her, SHE WOULD BE ON.
However, we know people are flooding Fox News with requests to remove Alan Colmes, and they don’t even mention it – you just get these occassional JIBES by him towards Sean Hannity, in which Alan openly contends HE HIMSELF WOULD NOT HAVE A JOB AT ALL if not for SEAN.
Your “FAIRNESS DOCTRINE” would get SHORT SHRIFT from our FOUNDING FATHERS who would tell you that any voice at all HAS TO EARN ITS AUDIENCE.
AND THAT ANY GOVERNMENT THAT PROVIDES YOU WITH AN UNWILLING OR CAPTIVE AUDIENCE IS A DICTATORSHIP NOT WORTH THE BREATH OF LIFE TO SUSTAIN IT.
WORKS FOR ME!
ANd TOTALLY RIGHTEOUS ANGER AT THAT.
Unlike Hillary, and the trail of the dead behind HER and Bill!
More likely that people are sick to absolutely DEATH of having some insane Liberal interupting EVERYTHING a Conservatives says, never letting the Conservatives get a complete THOUGHT out before they interupt and make sure they prevent any whole thought of opposition fall into the viewers’ ears.
I have just about quit watching Sean on TV because I cannot tolerate that idiot Colmes any more, and HIS Liberal guests.
I could listen to Michelle all evening long – but I am sick of Liberals thinking they should have TOTAL control of the Conversation, and station managers thinking if they don’t give control to the LIBERALS, then it won’t be “FAIR”.
Why is giving more than half the airtime to the suicidally insane Socialist views considered FAIR AND BALANCED?
Because it worked so well for Hitler and Stalin??? And MAO???
Ombre Rose: “any voice at all HAS TO EARN ITS AUDIENCE”. Very well said!
You are so dead right.
We should take those guys out of Gitmo and EXECUTE them with NO MORE ADO about it.
THAT would settle the issue. And that would shut up the Liberals, too.
Thanks, CC!
Irshad Manji has a good head on her shoulders. Bill is right, though…jihadists would kill her in a heartbeat if they could.
I missed the first airing…catching the rerun.
Ombre Rose, I’m not sure who you were addressing when you said “Your Fairness Doctrine” as I have said nothing to support such an initiative. In fact, the very fact of mandating a private corporation to do anything isn’t in the American spirit of choice in the first place.
Whoa, breathe. Relax. Now back to a sensible conversation. H & C welcomes Ann Coulter back constantly, Guiliani was given an open platform with Sean asking all the questions and Alan getting in at the end and there are other examples of conservative politicians and authors on the show.
All liberals aren’t socialists just as I hope you’d agree it is wrong to call conservatives fascists.
To the best of my knowledge, the Nazi government was considered a fascist government. Not socialist.
Do not let anger get in the way of rationality and let’s have a sensible discussion here.
MM subbing on O’Reilly’s show was a perfect example of why we DON’T need a fairness doctorine unless it only adresses the mainstream media: there was Michelle, all by her lonesome, up against that smarmy twerp Ellis Hennigan and that other guy whose name I can never remember, that Hispanic-Sharpton-wannabe-in-making who sits there endlessly grinning in an infuriating attempt to make us think he is above the passion – and the facts – of the discussion; at least he has stopped that endless refrain of how all Hispanics are “bee-oo-tee-foo peep-oo.”
Sure, like you’re gonna see a two-to-one against matchup like that on CNN – not!
It’s funny how, like tonight, liberals never win debates with conservatives. I’m really serious. That’s no doubt why – yes, here it is again – that the liberal Presidential candidates are scared right to their flabby core at the idea of having a debate on Fox News. Fox – the same station that put Michelle two-to-one against with liberal opponents – will hold the liberals’ feet to the fire.
Michelle and Kirstern WERE given their own show several months ago. However, I believe it did poorly in the ratings and was pulled after the pilot episode.
True? If it is then it must have been the structure of the format. Michelle should have her own show like O’Reilly or a lesser few others on the weekends. Oh, book guests like Sharpton and if fireworks = ratings, and they do, then you’ll see ratings!
“Even though we are fans of Michelle, I just don’t think she’s mainstream enough for Fox to give her her own show.”
I couldn’t disagree more. Once again, I work in the media, in some fairly respectible creative capacity I might add, and I’m telling you if done right it would be a hit, hit hit!
Unlike some others, I would give her a little entourage of reporters, mostly with a lighter edge, report a story or two and talk lightly in general agreement with Michelle between her confrontations with idiots. Trust me, if the show was structured to play off her passion and hard-line fact-giving and had a little extra entertainment balance with a few other personalities, I absolutely guarantee that you’d have a hit, at least with the conservative base. Book the show with lots of aggressive liberal men who would look bad on the tube “beating up a woman” while she sissy-slapped them unconscious with the facts. Yum.
“More likely that people are sick to absolutely DEATH of having some insane Liberal interupting EVERYTHING a Conservatives says, never letting the Conservatives get a complete THOUGHT out before they interupt and make sure they prevent any whole thought of opposition fall into the viewers’ ears.”
One word: YES! And conservatives, like this board’s namesake, are learning to shut them up right back when they start to, and man oh man, it certainly is about time!
You were wonderful. You get better every time. Know your facts. Keep calm. It is far more impressive than ‘bloviating’. The well thought out….”really”, is far more effective.
I – like others here do not enjoy watching Colmes, not because of his liberal thinking, but his rudeness of constantly interrupting people.
A male friend of mine said the thought Colmes looked like the Cookie Monster…..I had to laugh ’cause it’s true!
Michelle was way to nice to Ellis Hennigan and whoever the sleazy immigrant rights lawyer was, during her hosting of the O’Reilly show. They hogged the conversation and repeatedly made untrue statements. The 77% value that the Hispanic dude gave as Americans who support amnesty is exactly the opposite of the truth. I’ll give him credit for one thing, he can raise my blood pressure higher and faster than any liberal I have had the misfortune to hear. I wish Michelle would use the microphone “off” switch and take more time for herself in rebuttal of the ridiculous statements that were being presented as the truth.
Great job, Michelle. I don’t know how you keep from going ballistic on that left-wing open-borders tool Juan Hernandez. He is as dishonest, disrespectful and sleazy as they come.
I like when the camera first comes back to Michelle and she has on her classic war face.
I would prefer that they stop showing Bill flashbacks when Michelle is the host . As much as I did enjoy the muslim woman’s interview.
Bill does seem to have become weaker after his meltdown with the racist at large . Time for a change. Who could we possibly get as a replacement ?
All I can say when I know MM is on OR I drop everything to come see you. Your priceless array of expressions are without a doubt unique in this broadcasting format. We don’t have to ask MM how do you really feel about something…it’s right there in her body language, facial expressions, inflections and words backed by fact! Thanks MM, you are my hero (but I can’t let my wife see me watching you too much!)
Michelle: Clearly, you have been blessed with charisma and a fine and nimble mind. You are quickly becoming a national resource for truth. My hope is that you will remain grounded in your family and continue to enjoy your work. Please be wary of the traps of arrogance and other risks of success. God bless you.
I fell off the couch when that guy, Juan said that 77% of us
Americans support the “scamnesty bill”. Give 12M “good people” a chance? My puwit(a$$). I say let us re-unite them with their families south of the border.
You “conservatives” just don’t get it. The US is not supposed to be in the same league as terrorists or Iraq, North Korea, Iran, etc. I put conservatives in quotes, because real conservatives like Ron Paul are ridiculed. Real conservatives are against ill advised wars of choice abroad, are against illegal searches and seizures, and against torture. Virtually no one on commenting on this site or MM herself would be considered conservative 30 years ago. You are radical right-wingers.
One final observation: It is amazing how those who know the least about war: the Cheneys, the W’s, the Malkins, the Hannitys, the Limbaughs (in other words, the Chicken Hawks) are all for indiscriminate use of force and torture of war prisioners. While those who actually served this country in war: Colin Powell, McCain, Mark Hatfield, Chuck Hegel, yes, John Kerry no reality, no the costs in war and in mistreatment of prisoners. Hmm, think about that.
First, I apologize for using “no” instead of “know”. Second IMPORTANT FACT: FOX NEWS SPENT 8% OF ITS TIME ON IRAQ AND 17% ON ANNA NICOLE SMITH. YOU KNOW RIDICULOUS UNIMPORTANT ISSUES. MM AND FNC, A PERFECT MATCH.
MikeB . We get that you are a liberal but are all those capital letters really necessary ? Have you ever considered yoga ? BREATHE .
I hate to inform you, Mikey B, but you’re wasting your time here: this is a particularly educated audience that knows 1. the liberal spin, 2. where their views sit in the world, 3. what we feel we know is right – no ambiguity, 4. who the political players and posers are and 5. what noisy jerks like you are all about (see #1, above).
You never answer a single solidly placed question but come here drawing us in to waste our time. With the mainstream media grossly and unfairly imbalanced against conservative values, we have bigger fish to fry. Answer a few questions once in a while and maybe we’ll decide to waste a little time engaging you.
Suggestion to readers: ignore Mikey the B.
Suggestion to moderator: ban the jerk.
Conservative Cat–use that old reliable conservative weapon: censorship, except if its talk radio.
Mike B:
No insulting the host or other commenters.
Cat:
Ditto.

Well, I could go into the media “censoring” the right wing view, which happens everywhere except talk radio, and even then the left has a voice, there, too, which doesn’t exist in the mainstream media.
However, censorship primarily involves an unfair government regulation against free speech, which is what your side of the political wing – the far-leftist loonies – want to do with the ironically-titled Fairness Doctorine.
I, however, cannot censor you. Asking management to take you off the board isn’t requesting censorship. You have indulged in your first amendment rights by blathering incendiary remarks here which are intellectually dishonest. I’m just availing myself of my first amendment right by suggesting to management that they chuck your sorry, mealy-mouthed ass off the board.
I know it’s tough for the far left to deal with such concepts after 40 years of having an iron-grip monopoly of media dispersion, but that’s just how it is.
Welcome to the world of real free speech, stupid.
Now go play in the traffic – preferably at rush hour – you troublemaking little creep.
Rick,
Sorry if I insulted the other commentor, namely Mikey. But then, if he were to complain, I suppose striking first and then crying foul would be something not subject to great degrees of sympathy.
Anyway, I’ll try to rein in my passion a bit, at least for the next five or ten minutes.
