Your Daily Dose of Awesome: Moyers Takes on O'Reilly
Posted by Allison Kilkenny Labels: Bill Moyers, Bill O'Reilly, Fox, News Corporation, PBS, Rupert Murdoch

Because he's an asshole and a coward, Bill O'Reilly sent his Scott McClellan-look-alike to ambush the excellent Bill Moyers at the National Conference for Media Reform. As usual, Moyers carries himself with limitless patience and class, whilst raising the level of discourse past the O'Reilly henchman's intellectual ability, which incidentally leaves him babbling like an idiot before he runs away entirely.

Throughout the awesome confrontation, Moyers refers to the "$20 barrels of oil," which is a reference to something Rupert Murdoch said during the lead-up to the invastion..

3. Damn that was funny - poor Porter didn't like his tactics used against himself
Why do I think Porter's been one of those college Republicans that cheer for other to fight and die?

6. Moyers is really a national treasure...
...one of the only relatively mainstream guys left who actually knows what journalism is and cares about getting it right.

He had that guy going "hamana-hamana-hamana-hamana" hahahaha :crazy:

9. Right Wing pundits don't have to answer questions because...
They change the subject, talk very fast and very loud, and answer a question with another question. ALL of them do it. Sometimes I get so frustrated I feel like yelling "SHUTUP"! Liberals stay calm and repeat the question, but it doesn't matter because the right-winger is never proven wrong and never has to admit being wrong.

13. That was excellent. Exposes them for exactly what they are
that guy had better wear some "Depends" next time he tries to take on someone of Moyers caliber.

18. There are some darn good Texans out there..
Jim Hightower comes to mind and we can't forget some recently departed Texas Gems, Molly Ivins and Ann Richards.

I've got some good friends in Texas. Not all Texans are transplanted Connecticutites who bought a hat and called themselves cowboys.

15. Somebody at work has been trying to unload tickets to go see O'Reilly.
Started week before last at 2 tickets for $50. This week it went down to $40 and then a couple days later $20. I live in a really RW area--maybe if they offered to pay someone to go, they'd get a taker. :rofl:

19. Maybe you should go - and heckle.
You don't even have to actually heckle, just shout out the facts when O'Really spouts his BS.

16. Class + Style + Grace =
Bill Moyers.
Course when you have facts and truth on your side one doesn't need to interrupt, yell and scream like bill-o and friends

THAT was very sweet.
