JT, you missed my comment about your appearancce on BellO's subliminIMInal "Best Persons In The World' segment.

"Interesting ,(and all the right wingers do it) , how O’Rielly interrupts as you are destroying his arguements" I am notoriously fair-minded but I have to say that it would be impossible for ANY of the print or TV right wing punditry to hold their own in any discussion of ideas with their opposite numbers on the liberal side. Their ideas were discredited 70 years ago and ample arguments exist to tear down any of the ideas they currently espouse. They survive by the use of talking over the decisive counterarguments or if in print have the splendid isolation of a column. They are all second-raters as thinkers, but first-raters as entertainers. There really was a Darwinian-like evolution of this society going on up until the Vietnam War, and these reactionaries had passed out of credibility into the intellectual slums of the fringe. Only the business sector backed counter-revolution was capable of rescuing them from the irrelevance their philosophies had earned for them. And now they claim to be mainstream! “What a difference between O’Reilly and Keith Olbermann ,where intelligent conversations prevail.”

I was happy, however, that he at least criticized the Administration for the destruction of the tapes. You would be astonished (perhaps not) to read some of the incredible attacks that I have received from O'Reilly viewers after the show. I would never have imagined that so many Americans would buy this long-discredited call for torture. It can be a bit of an out-of-body experience.

Interesting ,(and all the right wingers do it) , how O'Rielly interrupts as you are destroying his arguements. What a difference between O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann ,where intelligent conversations prevail.
