2. why Colmes didn't walk out while o'reilly called him a liar, and treated him like garbage I guess

you really have to give it to colmes for maintaining his cool

o'reilly was a crazy man screaming at the top of his lungs


As far as something going on with the guy, he is a bully and a prick, and has always been. That is why I suspect the demographic of those that watch faux are mostly made up of bullies and chicken hawks

Symptoms include irritability and dementia.

Also incontinence, but that would be TMI

9. What O'Reilly knows he should have said!

When President Obama came forward to warn the American people that cuts are going to hurt; for some people he was telling the truth. From my view it made a lot of sense to wait till near the time the sequester takes action. Think about all the days and months the Congress via Baynor (I know spelling is wrong) always disagreed with the president. Instead of closed door back room stuff President Obama signed off on all of it and gives kudos to the senate to play it out too.

In a way this is like kicking to can down the road and throwing stones at it at the same time.

Now obvious to the media and not even showing or indicating this obvious play did in fact reveal a core severe conservative negligence irresponsibility or just out right hostilty to middle America. This all showed in such a huge way that President Obama was seriously concerned by giving warning. Plus the Republicans in Congress in continuum advertise harder than a Geico commercial that appears if it does not even care if it sells insurance but wants to sell a culture of hate and obstruction
.
True both parties agreed to this sequester, likely because it was the only way to establish exactly the way the Republican Party has been dealing from the bottom of the deck with interest only in the banking business community at large.

Yes, think clearly, we have half again of what is negotiated. Huge cuts in the military with the same in the entitlement area. But here, with the entitlements Presidents Obama’s plea was for action to prevent such things to happen to the middle class. Republicans harp about running the government like a business, but, no not this time while Obama is in charge using the “at will” principle action could be done quickly and efficiently. Instead Congress took a break. How about that!

10. Colmes has always been a whipping boy for Fox "news". He must not be able to get work very easily.

Putting up with that abuse is sad - he should have walked out. It's hard to believe that Colmes would lower himself that far, but the woman there had a smirk/smile that made me think that maybe it was rehearsed.

Billo has always been like this. He always yells at people he disagrees with. In fact, I can remember from 2007 when he was shouting down Geraldo during an argument about immigration:

15. Someone on MSNBC yesterday called it a Republican "business model"

to act with this perpetual outrage and deception. I was a bit distracted while listening at the gym to the segment and didn't get his name, but this man was spot on with his assessment and used Limbaugh as a reference for his points as well. It just keeps their base riled up and angry which is obviously what appeals to them, hence the term business model when discussing their tactics.
