Last night on “The O’Reilly Factor,” host Bill O’Reilly had a segment with two professors who openly support Bill Ayers, and have signed an Internet position doing so.
However, what struck me during this discussion was when one of the professors, Dr. Alan Singer of Hofstra University, actually leaned back on O’Reilly – as “the fair and balanced” one spent the entire segment bullying around two liberals who looked as comfortable as Michael Vick at a PETA convention.
At the 3:30 point of the clip below – things get very interesting.
Is that a fact Bill? The premise of the Iraq War was to remove Saddam Hussein as an evil dictator? Why don’t I remember hearing about that in the time leading up to the invasion? Why do I distinctly remember Colin Powell discussing that concrete evidence (ha!) of WMDs in Iraq as being the driving force for invasion? Why do I remember the fictitious link between Al-Qaeda and Saddam being the driving force for invasion?
Rewriting history to suit your own agenda? Is that your definition of a “No Spin Zone”?
When asked about tonight’s presidential debate – moderator Bob Schieffer, host of CBS’ “Face the Nation” – stated:
“By now, we’ve all heard their talking points. We’ve heard the general outlines of what they are talking about. The time has come to be a little more specific. It will not embarrass me, if they go off in a different direction, to say, ‘excuse me, could you focus on the quesiotn that I just asked?’”
It is true. What we’ve had so far is a series of debates, both presidential and vice presidental, that have been loudly criticized for not sticking to subjects put forth by moderators, and instead forcing the public to suffer through the same talking points we’ve heard for months on end.
Here’s to hoping that Schieffer holds up to his word and sticks the candidates’ feet to the fire on actually answering questions and actually providing specific details to proposal they make, rather than speaking in the same vague and general tone we’ve all become accustomed to.
Let’s all just hope Scheiffer can put an end to this nonsense:
When I woke up this morning, I flipped on CNN as I got ready for work to find out about the condition of the Asian markets while I slept last night
However, instead the anchors were speaking about the third and final presidential debate tonight between Senators John McCain and Barack Obama.
In all of this week’s excitement of new proposals and plans to address the national economic crisis, the debate had actually slipped my mind.
Thus, I kept the TV tuned to CNN to hear analysis on what I should expect to see tonight.
But instead the next 20 minutes were spent explaining the requests made by each campaign in preparation for the main event.
It seems that both candidates have requested that they be placed directly below an air-conditioning vent to prevent sweating and the visualization of a 5 o’clock shadow – as was apparently evident during the 1960 debate on a dampened Richard Nixon as me matched wits with a one John F. Kennedy.
Furthermore, it appears both candidate have also asked for an exact replica of the glass that will house the water they will have in front of them tonight, so that they can practice holding, lifting, and placing said glass without potentially dropping it.
