[quote="julsmith"]OK, here's my email I sent to:

What was I watching with Lawrence O’Donnell ranting on Scarborough Country with John O’Neill???

I could’ve sworn I was watching Jerry Springer.

I can’t believe someone like O’Donnell is even allowed to be on a so called “mainstream” news show like yours.

Mr. O’Donnell has absolutely no respect for anyone who happens to think other than he does. Whatever happened to freedom of speech? He was obviously trying to squelch Mr. O’Neill’s.

Lawrence O’Donnell needs to be fired, sued, or both.

Mr. O’Neill deserves at least a chance to be heard, along with an apology from O’Donnell.[/quote]
I watched MSNBC last night for one reason, to hear John O'Neil. Instead I had to listen to O'Donnell verbal assault against a Veteran trying to explain how to read an after action report, in response to Buchanan's question. I have never seen such hideous behavior exhibited by a political analyst, who is supposed to be an intelligent contributor to the talking points.What we witnessed last night was a complete meltdown, I thought I was watching someone on drugs. I will support any campaign to demand an apology to John O'Neil, whether it be on tv or in the courts. I stopped watching Chris Matthews because I was afraid that he would have a mental breakdown, now I'm wondering if it is becoming a Democrat affliction, Dean, Gore, Matthews, Carvel, now O'Donnell, it seems to be contagious. No more MSNBC in my house!!! O'Donnel needs to be taken off the air, sued, and possibly sent for a mental evalutation.

Thanks, Truthserum for this link-- very good article--

I responded to it saying it should be read WITHOUT INTERRUPTION on MSNBC-- Prime time.

Joshua Muravchik ought to be commended for telling the truth about VVAW, and Kerry's communist communications after the war. The mainstream public is NOT hearing it, or Kerry would be down by 30 points by now.

O'Donnell has been a regular on "The McLaughlin Group" for several years now. While it used to be one of my "must see" programs, I gave it up many moons ago when McLaughlin went over to the darkside.

However, ol' John might be interested in getting your opinion on Mr. O'Donnell here: comments@mclaughlin.com

Hi all, I am new here but have supported the swift boat vets from the beginning. And, unlike the folks on MSNBC, we have read the book. It took me several weeks to locate the book but it was well worth the effort. I am married to a Vietnam era Vet, the child of WWII vet, and the grandchild of a WWI disabled Vet, totally disabled at age 18 in France.

I watched the show on Friday night. I was in total shock. O'Donnell has gotten worse and worse and now he has gone WAY too far. I have sent 3 emails to MSNBC. I have told them that I will no longer watch ANYTHING on their network until I can be assured that O'Donnell will NOT be on any program that they air. No adult would tolerate such behavior from a six year old child so why would we watch an adult behave that way? I have also told them that I felt so bad for the well mannered Mr. O"Neil that I sent my third donation to the Swiftvets. I do hope that Lawrence (why can't he just be Larry, like a normal person?) O'Donnell knows how much money he helped raise for the switft boat vets by his outburtst.

John O'Neill is a saint, and he showed it on Friday night. I am awed by his restraint and composure. I Hope that my sons can someday emulate him.

I can't wait until tomorrow to see how Sean Hannity covers this story and what MSNBC does about it. What is everyone's guess? My guess is that MSNBC ignores it, no apology, and O'Donnell carries on as he has, a 'senior analyst'. GAG. Makes me sick. I will not be watching MSNBC again unless I get an email telling me that O'Donnell is no longer employed by them.

One other question, does anyone think that O'Donnell may have been drunk? Might he be a nasty drunk? Two beers and he wants to pick a fight with everyone he sees? This would NOT excuse his behavior but might explain it? Don't know. What do you think?

Me#1...Here's my letter to McLaughlin...I encourage that we all pressure those who oppose or question the integrity of the Swifts.

Here's a link which makes reference to you on page 16:

Your compatriot (which rhymes with "idiot") Lawrence O'Donnell really out did himself on Scarborough this past Friday evening. His credibility as an "MSNBC Senior Political Analyst" is in the trash bin. I hope you will realize that he is no longer a person deserving of respect and not give him a soap box from which to spew his intolerance and pure hate speech. I say this to you as a Vietnam era veteran who is highly insulted by the loathsome disrespect shown to my compatriots who really served for more than a scant 4 months.

Sincerely,

Sent in my E-mail protest re O'Donnell and his Loony Left tirades to MSNBC, hope it helps to dump the bum.

Larry O'Donnell's famous words:

"It's one of the many lies that the book advances. To me the most interesting lie, John O'Neill, that I would submit to you that you should answer, is, you make a lying claim that John Kerry's antiwar activity prolonged the amount of time that prisoners of war were held in Vietnam. . . . That's a lie, John O'Neill! Keep lying, it's all you do! . . . Lies! . . . Which is not in John O'Neill's book, 'cause it's a lie! . . . That's a lie! It's another lie! That's a lie! Absolute lie! You lie in that book endlessly! . . . You lie about documents endlessly! . . . You're just lying about it! And you lied about Thurlow's Bronze Star! You lied about it as long as you could until the New York Times found the wording of what was on the citation that you as a lying writer refused to put in your pack of lies! . . . Disgusting, lying book! . . . You have no standards, John O'Neill, as an author, and you know it! It's a pack of lies! You are unfit to publish! . . . He just lied to you! He spews out this filth! Point to his name on the report, you liar! Point to his name, you liar! . . . You just spew lies! . . .

I just hate the lies of John O'Neill. I hate lies. It's not an argument; they're proven lies. . . . O'Neill's a liar, he's been a liar for 35 years about this, and he's found other liars [unintelligible]. . . . They lied! . . . They're lying somewhere! . . . Lies! Just tell me the initials, you liar! Creepy liar! . . . You are a liar who makes things up! . . . You want the lies! That's how you make your living, on lies"

Ah, Larry O'Donnell's superior force of argument. Fits right in there with Ted Koppel's "superior (Viet Cong) force". Just about as accurate, too.

(Makes me wish there was a real "Spock" to give this guy a neck pinch!)

(Hey, I don't mean to satirize being shot at even once! But, if I don't find some way to laugh at some of this stuff I won't be able to get supper down!)

While I concur with all posters here that Larry O's ramping introduced a new low by the loony whacko left-wingers to this already surreal election, I would ask you all NOT TO organize any boycott ..

You must understand the more rantings, ravings and shouting by an "incensed" left while the SBVT and others on the right keep it calm and controlled is the BEST FREE ADVERTISING that could happen to us in our quest against a Kerry presidency.

When the public witnesses these raving lunatics self-destruct live on TV, coming accross anything but presidential - who do you think will they ever vote for ?

Certainly not Kerry. Actually, the more Larry O's and other jerks go over the top on MSM TV the better for us... Just .. BRING IT ON.. it's free contribution to our cause..

So let me conclude, we should be rather happy that this happened, to the point that we should invite Larry O' to do his ranting again every night.. Looks like Teresa there are other "under cover" operatives woking out there .. hAHA!!

This prompted me to do two things.

1. Double the donation amount requested by the SwiftVets
2. Draft a letter to the show...

To: joe@msnbc.com


Dear Sirs,

I don't think I knew what a "raving nut job" actually looked like before seeing Mr. O'Donnell's raving diatribe and completely unprofessional conduct on "Scarborough". I was watching to see the refutation of the swift boat claims. I've heard for months that they had been discredited, and thought I would finally see that refutation..

Much to my dismay, I discovered that the refutation of the SwiftVets' claims consists of "liar, liar" and "lying liar writing lies". Please excuse me if these particular refutations do not carry much weight with me. I'm not sure how much weight they carry with anyone over the age of, oh let's be generous and say five - three was my first guess.

Just watching the utter explosion of Mr. O'Donnell in contrast to the Mr. O'Neill's calm relaying of facts made it very clear to me that Mr. O'Neill is telling the truth, and Mr. O'Donnell should probably be seeking some other line of work. Surely he is not the type of person that your company wishes to use as it's representative to the world, is he?

At the end of the exchange, I felt compelled to send the Swift Vets some of my hard earned cash. I had to work all day today to pay for this donation. I'll have to put off replacing that worn tire for another week or two, but after seeing Mr. O'Donnell's meltdown, I was convinced that it was the right thing to do. I'll just have to drive a little more slowly for a while.

If you see Mr. O'Donnell, please thank him for me.
