What about his medical records--to present. We have some evidence of sleepwalking and night frights from his bride, and I wonder what else we have yet to hear. But I have to go along with you all who think BOR has gone soft on us. He sets his jaw when he hears about the Swift vets, then he bends over backwards for Terry McAuliffe and company.

BOR will soft ball away. He'll ask a couple of semi tough questions then let Kerry dance off the hook and never demand an answer. He WON'T ask about the 180 because he does not think too highly of the Swifties.

He certainly does not give them any credit.

I don't expect much from this interview. I think Hannity or Hume would handle the interview much better. It'll be like a Kerry commercial; botox, cheesy smile, roller painted face, plastic never-move hair and references to 4 point plan to fix every problem.

There is no way BOR will hammer his long time friend effinKerry. No effin way.

Sorry to burst your bubble Aristotle, I used to like and respect BOR too, thought he was the best thing going. But his attitude toward the swifts, the forgeries, sandy berger.....he is kerrykamp all the way even though he won't admit to it.

Haven't watched BOR since the Oneill interview, didn't watch him for weeks before that after he sandbagged the swifties.

BOR is about BOR. I am repulsed by the sight of him.

Here is my take on this O'Reilly interview, and y'all will probably think I'm crazy!

O'Reilly will ask Kerry fairly tough specific questions about his votes on Iraq, etc., his stance on issues, and will be asked to rationalize his "inconsistencies". O'Reilly asked President Bush two specific questions about the TANG I think. O'Reilly being "fair and balanced" will do the same with Kerry. I have no idea what the questions will be (probably post-war because O'Reilly is a sissy when talking about his actual service), but the key is Kerry's response and O'Reilly's follow-up. If Kerry responds ANYTHING like he did with Diane Sawyer, saying "damnable lies. Proven lies" O'Reilly will persist further, bragging about "his findings" (if the question, although doubtful, is about medals). If Kerry spins and says something in general, O'Reilly will move on and probably give him a pass.

No matter what, O'Reilly will not live up to our hopes and really grill Kerry, but if Kerry responds aggressively, in a stupid manner, O'Reilly might come right back (hopefully!) with some light stuff exposing Kerry. At least that is my take on how the interview will go. I agree with a previous post though, Kerry could very well weasel his way out of the interview due to "scheduling" before the election. O'Reilly would not be too pleased about this, and may have some slightly harsh words for Kerry about not living up what he says. Kerry did have a little weasel clause in there (granting him an interview, but not guaranteed before election).

BOR: "So Senator Kerry, would you like to respond to the Swiftvets For
Truth?"
KERRY:"Yes I would, Bill."

"Okay, what would you like to say, Senator?"

"About what?"

"The Swiftvets?"

"What about them?"

"You said you wanted to respond to their allegations."

"I did."

"So what would you like to say to the Swiftvets, Senator?"

"I already did, Bill."

"Already did what, Senator?"

"Did what?"

"THE SWIFTVETS, SENATOR, THE SWIFTVETS."

"We've already covered that, Bill, time to move on."

LMBO!!!

Oh my, that's great! And that's probably as close as we're ever going to get, too.

Maybe that's what makes it so laugh-worthy.

Thanks!

Time to see if BOR is a man or a mouse. Time to fish or cut bait.


You might remind BOR that giving a pass to Kerry is Stuart Smalley's job (OR's arch enemy and competition, Al Franken). BOR hates Franken, and if he becomes him for ratings, he is no better, and only marginally better looking.

We can email BOR and remind him that he "did" question President Bush about the Swiftvets. He will look very biased if he does not ask Kerry any questions on it.
Most likely Kerry will have "rules" about what BOR can or cannot ask him.

My take is Kerry will wiggle out of this interview. He has not had any interview with anyone of significance for months. It is not likely Kerry would want to expose himself to BOR even if BOR would throw soft balls.

I don't watch BOR any more either so I was surprised to see this thread about the interview.

If Bill O'Reilly doesn't want to touch anything specifically dealing with the Swift Boat Veterans, maybe we can suggest questions that have to do with Kerry's Senate testimony, which are a matter of public record, and cannot be disputed.

For example, we can suggest that Bill O'Reilly ask:

1) On April 22, 1971, you testified before the United States Senate that, with the full knowledge of military commanders, American soldiers "cut off ears and heads, raped women, ... and razed villages." Did you actually observe such behavior by any American soldiers, or was that hearsay?

2) If other soldiers testified to you of such behavior, why didn't you ask them to testify before the Senate under oath? Did you check their own credibility before repeating their charges publicly before the Senate? If some of them lied to you, could you have given false testimony before the United States Senate?

3) If you accused the entire American military of condoning such behavior, how can you say now that you support our troops, when you have already falsely accused some troops who served honorably and did not abuse civilians in Vietnam?

4) On the Dick Cavett show, you admitted to personally committing war crimes. What specific war crimes did you commit?

5) In 1970, while in the Naval Reserves, you negotiated with representatives of the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong, who were then enemies of America, when you had no legal authority to do so. How can Americans trust you to lead our government now, when you undermined its diplomacy then?

6) In 1971, you assured the Senate that a unilateral withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam would result in peace, and about 3,000 South Vietnamese casualties. After the withdrawal, actual South Vietnamese casualties were over 2 million. How can Americans trust your judgment about war-and-peace issues now, if your judgment then resulted in such disastrous consequences?

7) It is estimated that 58,000 American soldiers died trying to defend South Vietnam, which was overrun by the Communists shortly after the withdrawal which you recommended. Are you prepared to apologize to their families, that they died in vain for your misjudgment?

If you have some better suggestions, or better ways of phrasing these questions, please post them. But if we are E-mailing O'Reilly with suggested questions for Kerry, we should probably concentrate on what he did AFTER Vietnam, where the record can not be disputed as easily as the events in Vietnam.

What do you think?

I think you guys should write off BOR completely. He should be a casualty (metaphorically speaking) of this election cycle.

1.) Immediate out of hand dismissal and denunciation of 250 decorated veterans without research in order to take the side of one dubiously decorated individual who also happens to have come as close to treason as anyone in the past 40 years.

2.) Instant and total support for Dan Rather. Took his side and made excuses for what would have or should have gotten Rather canned. That phony document hit piece made with the full knowledge and cooperation of the Kerry campaign should have ended this election in favor of Bush.

I don't reject people because they disagree with me provided of course they are approaching the topic in an honest way. BOR showed his stripes on these two VITAL issues. At least they are vital to me.

I can almost guarantee his flunkies are monitoring this board. Stop slobbering all over him. He stapped this organization in the back. Kerry's activities in the 1970's are most definately relevant to this race. No excuses from BOR.

I used to believe in BIll, but he may turn into Chris with Kerry and let things slid...
