MOM against the war, Dolores Kesterson, talking with O'Reilly right now!!

[pbartch]

Dolores Kesterson, whose son WAS KILLED in the Illegal Iraq .....being grilled by that ass O'Reilly right now.....

She met with Bush and gave him hell. This is a pretty good interview. The mom is noble and a wonderful woman.

[pbartch]

1. here is some info on the interview that I found on the web

http://www.newshounds.us/2005/08/10/oreilly_cindy_sheehan_controlled_by_far_left_elements.php

Then O'Reilly introduced Dolores Kesterton who did not bend or back down throughout the interview. Her son Eric died in Iraq and had been an unwavering supporter of the administration. Kesterson claimed that she had been against going into Iraq because she believed we should have finished the job in Afghanistan.Although O'Reilly tried to intimidate her into saying that Eric had died for a noble cause, Dolores would not give an inch.

Kesterson went on to describe the meeting she had with Bush after her son's death. She requested time alone with him and was granted three minutes in a tiny cubicle. According to Kesterson, Bush marched in and "was in my face"

"I'm George Bush, President of the United States and I understand that you have something to say to me in private."
Kesterson was not impressed with the meeting claiming that Bush did not seem to care.

At this point O'Reilly decided to use the lecture/soliloquy technique.
Using his fatherly tone he told Dolores that he respected her opinion but didn't want to see her used like Cindy Sheehan.
"I think Cindy Sheehan is being used by far left elements who object to our way of life. Everyone knows. Hillary Clinton knows"

Kesterson firmly objected to the notion of being used and O'Reilly started to get steamed attacking Michael Moore and the Fenton Group who writes Cindy's press releases. Fenton Communications is a very well established PR firm and O'Reilly's attack on them was nonsense.

Then he peppered her with a string of bizarre questions.

"Do you believe that we're a bad country and evil country?"
"Do you have Michael Moore's view of the U.S.?"
"If you had to choose, would you go with President Bush or Michael Moore?"

Dolores Kesterson without a moments hestitation gave her answer.
" Michael Moore has not killed thousands."

comment: O'Reilly your days are numbered because this country has had it and we're not buying your propaganda anymore. Dolores Kesterman was magnificent tonight. I applaud you and Cindy Sheehan who I hope has a comfortable and dry place to sleep tonight.

4. A typical chickenhawk response...

George Bush is the american coward, of all things. :woohoo:

[punpirate]

5. If O'Really used the phrase...

... "noble cause," then that's proof he's just parroting the White House line and is taking instruction from them.

So much for Bill. Poor fucker doesn't know when he's been outed.

[madeline_con]

6. ".. being used by far left elements who object to our way of life.."

Will I seem psychic if I say they're the next target of the new and improved "Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism"?

[Redstone]

10. I see he's using the old "when did you stop beating

your wife" tactic, by asking her "Do you believe that we're a bad country and evil country?"

What a fucking punk.

And speaking of fucking punks, I think that for bushyboy to initiate the conversation with the line,"I'm George Bush, President of the United States" is the ultimate illustration of just how unbelievably arrogant he is.

Excuse me while I go vomit.

[girl gone mad]

17. She should have asked him if..

he's learned the difference between falafel and loofahs yet or if he's still lusting after women other than his wife.

[madeline_con]

21. ,"I'm George Bush, President "

I dream of him saying that to me, so I can assure him that he does NOT represent me to anyone as far as I'm concerned.

[guruoo]

13. crooksandliars has video up

[Miss Chybil]

16. Just exactly what is "their way of life?" I'd really like to know.

Killing for votes and oil? Give me a break.

[Maddy McCall]

2. Only on Fox can a mother of a slain soldier be villianized by chickenhawks

[madeline_con]

3. He's decided it's left-wing conspiracy....

Bill, Bill, Bill....

Just because various groups support this lady does not prove there's some plot going on. (He's such a weenie!)

[shadowknows69]

7. absolutely Bill

it is a conspiracy. a conspiracy to save this country from you fukkers who are ruining it. so sue us. my karma feels fine.

[madeline_con]

20. Did you see where he gave her the choice...

of Moore or Bush? He is so abysmally stoopid!

[DFWdem]

33. My favorite part:

Bill: "We were attacked on 9/11"

Delores: "We weren't attacked by Iraq"

Bill: "But Kuwait was!"

That's entertainment folks!

[Maat]

8. That was her ONLY child.

I do not think we should send a young adult into combat if he is the only child in that family.

Of course, I don't see the need to send anyone into combat 99.99% of the time.

But particularly a child who is the only child.

I only have one child - and she will not be serving in a Booosh or Darth Cheny war!

Her interview was wonderful.

Shame on O'Lielly.

Healing energy to her! I'm so sad now.

[Sapphire Blue]

9. Dolores Kesterson was magnificent!

[pbartch]

25. She was wonderful.....her comeback to his asking her whose side

she would choose......Michael Moore or George the Chimp was great.

She so quickly said.......Moore wasn't responsible for the deaths of thousands of people.......



PRICELESS.

[Mr_Spock]

11. Uggh, I hate even seeing Bill the lying bastard on DU

Oh, well, glad to hear Dolores held her own against that manipulative gas bag.

[Turn CO Blue]

12. VIDEO of Interview: At Crooks and Liars

<http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/08/10.html>

Watch this amazing clip -- Bill barely lets this woman get a word in edge-wise, so obviously he was flustered. When he tries to have Ms. Kesterson agree that Cindy Sheehan is being "used by dark left-wing groups" -- she won't budge. She says that Cindy speaks from the heart. She was very anti-war.

Here's the same story from blogger Thomas de Zengotita on the HuffPo, who notes that:

"Dolores was slated to be the anti-Cindy Sheehan."

-----------------------------
Somebody on O'Lielly's staff didn't realize this poor woman WOULD NOT be the anti-Cindy -- but instead was another outspoken opponent to this illegal war!

[Sapphire Blue]

14. My, my... Seems that Dolores outfoxed FOX!

:evilgrin:

[txindy]

15. You're serious?!

:rofl: Good for Doris Kesterson! She knee-capped Falafel Boy in public - and he thought she was there to support him! :rofl:

[frictionlessO]

22. That is just.. well... groovy!

The summer of our discontent is bearing fruit and there is a worm a turnin' inside of it.

[marions ghost]

27. really good

thanks for posting the link. You go Delores. :toast:

Don't genuine and honest people make O'Lielly look like a pig on hind legs?

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. Good for her for holding her ground! *hugs and prayers going out her way*

[Maat]

19. Could someone answer me when she met with *?

I heard (and saw) her talking about it, but I was unclear how recent this was.

[stewert]

31. Maat..........

She was one of the 16 families who met with Bush a couple years ago, Cindy Sheehan was also one of the 16 families. Each family got 6 minutes with Bush, but she only got 3 minutes because her husband also got 3 minutes.

The right implies they all meet Bush on their own, when it was nothing but a PR meeting for Bush to meet with the 16 families. She said she did not think Bush cared about the deaths, and I believe her.

[Maat]

35. So, it was during those initial meetings.

Thanks.

I thought, "Gee, did he just meet with her?" This lady substanitated what Cindy has been saying, to me. Bless her!

[AuntiBush]

23. O'Reilly: NO ONE watches Faux News Anymore.

Their ratings have been in the toilet since, oh... not long after Nov. 2005. I wonder why beings the "reported" majority of voters voted for * thanks to this type of rhetoric.

Proud of the Cindy Sheehan and Kesterson's taking a stand.

Those questions from O-Jerko are as usual, :puke:

[Swamp Rat]

24. Gross!!! ... Jeebus, please pinch IT's head off!

:puke: Have I said this evening how much I hate these lizards? :puke:

[progressoid]

26. I think the left shouldn't even give him the time of day

It's all controlled an manipulated to fit his show. Fuck that. There is no reason to do an "interview" on Oreally's show.

The public is ignoring him and so should we.

[Sapphire Blue]

28. This was not the interview to ignore... Dolores refused to be manipulated,

... intimidated, coerced, shouted down, etc... she stood her ground & spoke from her heart... quite effectively, I might add.

America is speaking... the truth is coming out... like water bursting through a weakened dam.

[NightOwwl]

29. Ah yes...

O'Lielly and his ilk continue to try equate ANYONE who disagrees with Bush's policies with the "extreme anti-left movement." Micheal Moore, MoveOn, you know, those gangs of ruffians. Well, it ain't gonna work any more. Moms, dads, sister, brothers, friends, neighbors, co-workers...we are all part of this "extreme" group he tries to invalidate.

He can pontificate all he wants...but he can see it coming. His time is running out. So long Bill...and by the way, shove a falafel up your ass for me, m'kay?

[suegeo]

30. You are 100 percent correct. If you disagree with the King...

I saw this interview last night. In Bill's warped mind, if you disagree with Bush, you are Anti-American and you hate the American way of life.

I hate Bill O'Reilly. Sweet Jesus, I hate Bill O'Reilly.

Bill tried to paint millions of people as fringe wackos. He thinks we are all being controlled by Michael Moore. Huh? I've never met the guy, Bill.

If we are all being controlled by Michael Moore and told what to say, may I ask: WHO IS CONTROLLING BILL O'REILLY and the other gas bags of hate radio/hate tv? Oh never mind.

Bill thinks that if you disagree with Bush, you hate America. You hate the American way of life. So in his warped mind, Bush = America. The election thief IS America.

His line of questions to this mother was bizarre: who do you back President Bush or Michael Moore? What?!?!

He was bullying her. The pervert was BULLYING the mother of a man who died in a war of Bush's choice. This guy has serious problems with women and seems to be in love with George Bush. I don't know. Let the psychiatrists figure it out.

[Sapphire Blue]

36. TRIED to bully her, but it didn't work... she didn't let him get away w/it

[marions ghost]

32. In this interview...

Bill O'Lielly to Ms. Kesterton:

"I don't want you to be used...(mock concern)
"Cindy Sheehan is being used by very far left wing elements that not only object to the war, but basically object to our way of life here, America as we know it...."

:mad: Yes Bill, however you want to label us, there are many people who DO object to the way things are being done in America these days. We DO object to what is going on in our government now. In a sea of lies, a glimmer of truth. We do object. You got that right.

[Spike from MN]

34. "She met with Bush and gave him hell"

Good for her! Sounds like she gave O'Reilly hell too! Does anyone have a link or any info on the particulars of her meeting with Dubya? I'd love to know the details.
