O'Really takes on Howard Dean

[La_Serpiente]

(I think this is what he will say tonight)

Will the Real Howard Dean Please Stand Up?

Former governor of Vermont got a couple of big Labor endorsements this week. And many in the press have already anointed him President Bush's challenger next year. But it's hard to get a handle on Dr. Dean. The NRA, for example, loves him, but so does the far left. How does that happen?

Since Dr. Dean doesn't like one-on-one interviews, I have to say I don't know much about the guy. Most of the other Democratic candidates have entered the No Spin Zone, but it is apparently too much for Dean. But I do know this, Dean is against parental notification laws (search) regarding abortions for minors. He is on the record as saying that 12-year old girls should be allowed to have abortions without telling their parents, even if the notification laws provide protection for kids who are raped, the victims of incest or other sexual abuse. Even if.

Now that kind of position can't be changed. That's a defining position. And it is directly against what the overwhelming majority of Americans believe. So if I'm running against Dean in the South or the Midwest, that's all I have to say. He's immediately put on the defensive. Allowing children to have abortions without telling the parents is simply unacceptable in this society.

1. I really hope Dean never enters the No Spin Zone

O'Really isn't that important that he needs to be kowtowed to.

[Hep]

2. Amen

Anyone botherd by his not appearing can't vote in the D primary anyway.

9. Really

Why add to the moron's "credibility"?

[alexwcovington]

3. Bill O'Reilly is the closest Fox News has to a journalist

How Pathetic.

5. This is my favorite part

The reason the doctor won't come on and do an interview with me is that I'd ask him that question and a number of others, and he would have to define his positions. It's obvious Dean does not want to do that.


He said this the day after Howard Dean was on Newnight with Aaron Brown with Wolf Blitzer as the host.

6. Why is this posted?

Increasingly the line is blurring with Clark supporters use of Republican talking points, Republican media sources and even official Republican party sites,


Something stinks!

[Ernesto]

11. cWebster... I think you busted the snake!

What a transparent, cheap shot post! Who is this guy, a shill for the spin zone or just anti Dean?

[Scott Lee]

18. You smell it too?

My good graces towards Clark has been holding my tongue on this, but it's getting looser....

[SahaleArm]

22. Really, it's just one giant conspiricy out to get Dean

The DLC, DNC, Bush-Rove, Kerry, Clark, Geppy, Edwards, Sharpton, Kucinch, and the Smoking man are behind it:evilgrin:

[xultar]

7. That ought to be Good. I hope Dean wipes the floor with O'Liely

Dean will be able to use his style to undermine O'Lilely. I think if Dean played O'liely...drew him in and let O'Liely look rabid and crazy. Dean would score some points. It would make Dean look like hes focused and that his Anger has a purpose wher O'Liely's does not. Furthermore O'Liely has a broad audience. That will be a great boost to his campaign. This is good for Dean. His campaign staff is AWESOME!

He can defend his position on the children abortion issue. He can take a stance that the child be afforded a legal gardian to determine the prosecution of the criminal who impregnated the child. The surgery should be performed and then the parents are notified after the fact. Health and Safety of the child should come first, beginning prosecution of the statutory rapist, and care and well being of the child with the parents. I'd be afraid the parents would beat the child or that the pregnancy occured by a male relative which could endanger the childs life.

He can get O'Liely easy on that cuz hes a Dr. and it is the right stance.

8. Aw, poor little Bill!

Howard Dean doesn't want to go on his irrelevant little program, so Bill huffs and puffs and blows himself up to make it look like Dean is a-scared of him. Why doesn't Bill have Al Franken on his show? Or have a debate with Al in a setting where Bill doesn't have absolute control of the cameras, the microphones, and the studio?

Would someone please cut some cheese to go with Bill's whine? Never mind, I'll do it myself: <Poot!>

10. I doubt if many of the candidates have gone on with

O'Reilly. I never heard about it anyway.

[Gloria]

21. Kerry has been on in the past, several times...and O'Really shuts up

and treats him with respect. Kerry has been excellent against him. He just is totally unfazed and doesn't take any crap. That's one of the reasons why in the beginning, I was leaning very strongly towards Kerry. Since the Iraq thing, he's dropped to about third on my list.

[lefty_mcduff]

12. O'Really made the same kind of comments about the Canadian PM

Claimed Chretien was a coward when he wouldn't go on the 'Massive Spin Zone' (to 'clarify' Canada's resistance to the Iraq debacle). Could it be, and I'm reaching here, that the significance of O'Really's show is all in his head?

13. If a candidate can't standup to O'Reilly or Tweety,

how can anyone believe they could stand up to Sharon, Putin, Kim, or any other world leader.

[Hep]

16. Wha?

That's an odd line to draw! I would expect anyone who can stand up to Sharon, Putin, Kim, or any other world leader would be above talking to O'Reilly anyway. It's not like you see world leaders whoing up on his show.

[quaker bill]

24. Oops, Dean will be taking on Tweety 12/1

[SEAburb]

26. I threw in Tweety for Kucinich, not Dean.

Sorry, I should have made that clear.

[wildwww2]

28. Are Sharon, Putin,Kim or any other leader. Media whores like O`Reilly or

Tweety? Sharon,Putin,Kim are world leaders and deserve at least some respect. O`Reilly and Tweety are paid GOP chasers of Clinton`s crotch. And they serve their only purpose well. Which is to deceive the public. And the court appointed moron in Al Gore`s White House does plenty of that. So I see no need for any respectable canidate to waste there time with those morons. Bu$h can not even get Parliment to see him. They said no way. And I don`t blame them. They should not stoop so low as to take time out for a murderous usurper as Bu$h is.
Peace

Al Gore is My President

14. Forget O'Reilly

He is bringing himself down. He will be irrelevant by the 2004 election.

[wtmusic]

15. It's not that Dean doesn't like one-on-one's...

it's just he doesn't like having one-on-one's with lying polemicists, that's all. Had no problem with Russert, but he's a different league, isn't he?

[leetrisck]

17. Dean would do great on O'Reilly as would any

of our candidates. I just don't really see it as any help to go on any of the Fox screaming shows. O'Reilly keeps saying (until this day) that Al Gore would have won (he did) had he gone on his show. He also tries to pretend his book is in competition with Hillary's - he's a joke.

[jpgray]

19. O'Reilly should be shunned (nt)

25. Sorry, but I don't see your own opinion here. Just an RW speculation.
