BTTT!! Just getting ready to post this myself but good thing I checked first. :)

I was in my car driving home from working in North Florida at appromately 8:45 PM when O'Reilly began airing his interview with Michael Moore. My sister called me on my cell to let me listen to the TV interview over the phone.

The longer I listened, the more disgusted I became. I couldn't believe how O'Reilly was allowing that slob to get over on him. What a missed opportunity to blow that liar out of the water. He fell for it when Moore set up a strawman argument and from then on, the debate was based on that FALSE PREMISE.

O'Reilly has since been strutting around like a rooster actually under the delusion that he came out the winner. He should be embarrassed that he got taken for a sucker. I don't think it has even hit him yet. Both my sister and I were embarrassed FOR him as we were listening to that interview.

Then yesterday, I was on my way to Dade City listening to Rush on the radio at about 2:45 PM, and was sooooo excited to hear him say that when he came back from a break, he was going to address the false statements Moore had made that O'Reilly let him get away with. He had seen a transcript of the interview. I immediately called my sister to make sure she was recording his comments, because I KNEW it was gonna be good! I wasn't disappointed. He NAILED it.

I viewed the interview and almost crawled under a rock. Moore took control of the interview right off the bat and O'R never got it back, despite his best efforts. You can never afford to let a cunning and verbose enemy propagandist seize the high ground as you can't get it back in ten minutes.

Bill's problem is that he's not grounded in the basic conservative principles necessary to combat rapid-fire spin. He was outgunned, unprepared, and had not fashioned any prior strategery.

I don't want to appear self-serving on behalf of Free Republic.com, but there's no doubt in my mind that any one of hundreds of long-time, well-seasoned, clever, articulate freepers could have shrunk Moore down to a small cube of lard in minutes.

Why? Because we're not shallow populists. We're steeped in up-to-date facts. We're imbued and armed with eternal mores, verities and common sense.

In other words, we know our onions.
