Unable thus far to debate Sean Hannity, Salt Lake Mayor Rocky Anderson gamely took on another right-wing FOX News pundit last night - Bill O'Reilly.


And neither Anderson, who has demanded impeachment of President Bush over the Iraq war, nor the "No Spin Zone" host offered any quarter. Arguably Utah's leading Democrat, Anderson no doubt knew what was coming when O'Reilly introduced the segment as the "Far Left On Fire."


Anderson and O'Reilly immediately dove into a heated exchange over whether the president's alleged misleading of the nation over causes for the now 4-year-old war amounted to the "high crimes and misdemeanors" the Constitution requires for impeachment.


O'Reilly insisted that language, in effect, demands crimes equal to felonies for impeachment to proceed. But Anderson was having none of that.


"You don't know your constitutional history, Bill," the mayor said, insisting Bush's purported "abuses of power" and "breaches of trust" left both him and Vice President Cheney vulnerable to impeachment proceedings.


"You don't know what you are talking about!" O'Reilly countered. "You are foolish and you are
subverting your own country. . . . You are a kook."

how stupid is this guys audience???!

"O'Reilly insisted that language, in effect, demands crimes equal to felonies for impeachment to proceed."

Remind me again about what President Clinton's impeachment was about?

in way over his head. Once the name calling starts the debate is over and the one calling the names lost. Now since I'm not debating Billo I can do some name calling. Bill O'Reilly is a douche bag, a really big douche bag, douche bag douche bag douche bag, and might I add, a fascist apologist and self loathing closeted homosexual. I mean what's with sticking a vibrator up his poop chute when making obscene phone calls to a subordinate coworker? Bill O'Reilly, the decade's worst person in the world.

no, a lying ,dull witted str8 man. Don't pull that shit around here, it don't fly

saying something negative about Bill O'Rielly. Feel better now?

attempting to slander someone by accusing them of being so is an affront to all the Gays who post here. Your response proves that you have no clue

I said self loathing closeted gays like Ken Mehlman, Mark Foley et al.
Selective reading on your part does not constitute bigotry on mine.
Reply if you want. I'm heading for the exit.

to try to resuscitate his reputation after he gets creamed. Outright lies this time about needing clearly defined broken laws to draft articles of impeachment.

I guess that's what we expect from this sham of a show on a sham of a network...

Articles of Impeachment against President Johnson, 1868

RESOLVED, That Andrew Johnson, President of the United States. . . .

Article One: . . . did unconstitutionally issue an order removing Secretary Edwin M. Stanton from his position as the head of the Department of War. . . .

Article Ten: . . . did, designing and intending to set aside the rightful authorities of Congress, attempt to bring into ridicule, disgrace, hatred, and contempt the United States Congress...by saying things such as..."We have seen a Congress in a minority assume to exercise power which, if allowed to be consummated, would result in despotism or monarchy itself. . . . "

Article Eleven: . . . did, in disregard to the Constitution, declare in a public speech that the Thirty-Ninth Congress of the United States was not a valid Congress for all of the people in the United States . . . thereby denying its power. . . .

34 seconds is all I could take....

Rid the Earth of the scourge of O'Liely?!

God? A little cancer is in order, dontcha think? The fast-acting brain variety perhaps?

I loathe him with every particle of my being. Oh, how I wish I believed in that Christian fantasy of hell, because I'd take a great amount of solace knowing that that ignoble bastard would suffer for all eternity for what he has helped do.

Bill-o? Goebbels was every bit as guilty as Hitler, Himmler, Heydrich and the rest for the Nazi crimes.

History shall not judge you mercifully. Perhaps that's the greatest solace of all. Your name will be spoken in the same breath as Goebbels and Machiavelli. You had a chance to do what is right, but instead you willingly defended, and continue to defend, evil.

If America goes down the tubes as a result of * and the gang, you'll have yourself (and your ilk) to blame. How will that feel, Bill-o?

You are not human. You ceased being human when you cheerfully applauded death and destruction on an unimaginable scale.

You are a monster. And that is how history will remember you...

we should all hope that oreilly and "men" like him live forever. we should hope that their hearing remains crystal clear and intact. when the time comes for the mass to end this "world" as we know it now, those misguided "men" will hear the total TRUTH: then know of peace and liberty, they will surely see they were fools and feel despicable for their actions. how great a joy for us, for them to truly feel so foolish. if it were not to happen today nor tomorrow, keep trying. in no way should we wish harm on others, only realize that these poor unfortunate souls are blind and asleep. we should hold the greatest pity in our hearts for them.

Personally, I'd like to see someone put a bullet in his head. Not me of course, but if someone were to off that sonofabitch, I'd break out the champagne.

And I have a feeling that I'm not the only one who would be popping the cork...

just wake up. you cant be awake for some stuff and not to other stuff. if your awake you're awake if your not your not. what you propose is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine. is it not true that all "men" have the right to LIFE, liberty and blah blah blah. only under the most heinous of circumstances would this not be true. there are swords sharper than any you could wield in your hands, poisons more deadly than you could ever consume, and PUNISHMENTS WORSE THAN DEATH. metaphorically, these people are blind children. would you help a literal blind child, or kill him for stepping on your pumas. help th blind see the light.
