B.O. is like a little kid throwing a tantrum– a cry for attention, best ignored. The reason he will not support the film is because supporting the troops means a different thing for each of you. For you (as for most of us, I think) it means the support of the brave individuals serving… for him, it is a euphemism for \”policies of the current administration.\” The film sounds like it it completely supports our troops, but because it looks like there is no direct support of those policies, and because those with sympathy for the difficulties those individuals are shown to face may start questioning the policies when viewing it, he will not support it.

Mark, I don;t see any way you get to go head to head with BO unless it\'s on his show - unless you can engineer an invitation to him from another show. Surely you have a conteact somewhere that could invite the two of you onto their show at some point?

Barring that, though, I think you should do it. Worst case he ambushes you (as you expect) and you don\'t improve anything versus his claims about you. Best case, you have a reasonable discussion and get in a few points, and there is a positive effect.

One other benefit that could happen either way: he stops dragging you through the mud if he gets to have you on the air.

I think you should do it, but I do understand why you might not want to do so.

In the end O\’Reilly will prove to be correct as usual. Not a month goes by without some left wing wacko running down to visit Chavez and kiss his Anti American ass.

mark,
I don\’t know that much about you so I will not get into the O\’reilly fuss. I will say that partisanship is not a scourge. Without partisanship we would have me tooism all over the place. True partisanship is someone legitimately opposing another position that they feel is not in the best interest of this country. If you oppose a position simply because it is presented by someone not of your party that is being stupid not partisan.

Did you see when Steven Colbert went on Bill O\'Reilly\'s show and turned the tables on him? My husband thinks Colbert is a talented man being able to take over another man\'s show like that. My husband seems to always be aware of the latest and greatest http://www.supposedmarriedbliss.com/
He showed me the clip on Youtube. You should see it to prepare yourself for someday geting the chance to go toe to toe with O\'Reilly.

M:

It\'s the age of the \"Braindead Megaphone.\" Pointing out his hypocrisy is almost a moot point because it is so redundant. I could only imagine Bill warning people of Johnathan Swift and his appetite to eat children.

But do go on his show and tell people of the movie. Bill will never change. But this is a chance to tell a national audience about a doc they would enjoy.

To \”whatever\’s\” point, let\’s consider O\’Reilly\’s audience. These are folks that still consider GWB misunderstood and Obama a Muslim. These are the most ignorant and angry our country has to offer. No matter the content of your interview, Billow would rapidly interject and his audience would celebrate their hero. Project that energy elsewhere. Apathy is what he and his deserve.

I think you should spend his ass back to AM Broadcast radio with the likes of that other spinner named Loratab, I mean… Limbo… But trust me on this, he will never meet you in the middle. EVER. They never do. You are too different, too much of a risk, and you definitely have too much quid.

If it were me, I\’d dump a little $ down the ole well and see what else the man is up too. A little bit of dirt or persuasion would not be outside of his realm, and I think at this point it wouldn\’t even be \’stooping\’ to his level.

If you want a radio contact let me know – not that you don\’t have them already.

The conversation about the war is just like the conversation about race. Nobody left or right actually wants to have one. They just want to talk past each other. I don\’t want to discuss the war with my friends who disagree with me about it. Their shrill objections pain me to listen to. And frankly, I\’m tired of hearing how anyone who supported or supports the war is whatever shade of evil or stupid. Just like every other time we\’ve engaged in a war in our history, we\’ve sent imperfect people to an imperfect place to conduct our bidding for an imperfect policy that was historically imperative. In what passes for \”conversation\” in our culture today, admitting any weakness or uncertainty is admitting defeat. Exposing any flaws is to actively work against. O\’Reilly is just following the obvious cues and playing to a very large audience that isn\’t terribly thoughtful. He and Lou Dobbs play opposite sides of the same dull coin. Props to Mark for staying pretty much above the fray. Keep doing what you do.
