Unbefuckinglievable. Next, he'll tell Nicolas Berg's parents that videotaped beheadings are a good way to get information. What a dick!

I saw that on The Daily Show last night. Classic was Jon Stewart's response:

"And tomorrow, Bill O'Reily will be lecturing Steven Hawking on Astrophysics and the state of wheelchair ramps."

I did like O'Reily's response to McCain though:

McCain: "Trust me Bill, torture doesn't work."

O'Reily: "Well the people I've talked to say..."

It is the curse of our age that Ignorance imagines it has a valid opinion on anything.

O'Reily needs to be castrated.

So? Just throw a baggy full of coke over Bush's head. He'll go running and forget all about the dumb bastards date with the fishes. And Gonzales is even more of a useless prick then dubya so he's probably just as easily distracted.

Too bad John McCain is too nice to go after him on this. It would have been beautiful if McCain leaned forward in his chair, his smile vanished, and he said "Who are these people? I want to know. I think America wants to know. Who are these people you've been talking to? Because if someone is out there recommending the use of torture, I'd like to know who it is."

And then we'd all get to watch O'LIEly squirm around and make excuses because we all know that he just made them up.

I would like to severly pummel the man who gave this asshat a show.

Man the Daily Show skewered him: "O'Reilly Factor for Kids with Only a Passing Acquaintance with the Rules of Logic" ... I almost pissed myself.

No one makes that cocksucker squirm. If he ever gets in the least bit of trouble in a debate he starts telling people to shut up, yells at them, has their mic turned off, or some combination of the 3. He's far too much of a fucking pussy to allow anyone to make him squirm.

Ignorance isn't the culprit here. These "people I've talked to" are like the two Peabody Awards O'LIE-ly claims to have won for journalism: They are kept safely tucked away in his colon for when he needs to pull them out in a losing argument.

Aaaaaaah Mr. Wong. Being cloistered away in the wilds of Canuckistan you are seriously misinformed. Back in 2000, Ken Cordier, Ted Sampley and Bush's other stooges proved that McCain was a phony just like John Kerry. Both faked injuries to pad their resumes, both have medals they didn't really earn (like that traitor and phony Max Cleland who blew himself up to be a Georgia Senator), both turned traitor for the Vietcong and Jane Fonda. Luckily we have great heroes like Dubya and Dick Cheney to keep us safe.

Interrogations involving the use of torture can work, but not always. It depends on the techniques, and the subject. Not that this is that relavent, seeing how both torture, and 'intense interrogation' are both inhumane and outlawed by the Geneva Conventions.

I would love to see O'Reilly and Jon Stewart go head-to-head, not least because Stewart actually has won two Peabody awards.

They were on each others' shows about a year ago. They played nice, Stewart didn't call him on much of anything, except by way of making jokes, and O'Reilly just laughed. At the end Stewart said he believed O'Reilly really wasn't partisan. If he was being sarcastic, it was way too subtle.

Despite his act on Crossfire, Stewart is too much of a comedian to engage in a real debate. He doesn't seem to be willing or able to make many serious points without cracking jokes.

If anyone would know, it's O'Reilly! After all, he's been in combat situations, remember?

Didn't he storm the beaches of Normandy, capture Charlie, and delievered the stolen Death Star plans to Princess Leia aboard her starship?

Don't forget how he killed hitler with his BattleAx in man to man combat.

O'Reilly worked for the Empire. The Rebels were terrorists, remember?

That must have been him in that AT-AT on Hoth then. Too bad he couldn't have been a Stormtrooper.

He was the guy blowing General Veers when he fired on the Rebels' power generator.

He seems more like an ideal member of COMPNOR. One of those guys who said that Alderaan was destroyed because of Bail Organa's biological weapon plans, or claiming that the Death Star was an "Imperial Planetary Ore Extractor"

You haven't heard O'Reilly's comment about that? Judges and the ACLU who want us to follow the Geneva Conventions and give lawyers to terror suspects are "terror allies", according to O'Reilly. That is a no-shit in context accurate paraphrase.
