O'Franken said he is trying to get O'Reilly to come on the Factor.
Will O'Reilly ever go on there? I know Franken has no problem going on O'Reilly's show, but would O'Reilly ever do it.

1. Not in a million years.
Unless Chicken Bill has the power to cut someone's mic off, he's pretty much an ineffectual little baby.

2. I think he was.........
kidding and harassing O'Reilly. O'Reilly would never go on Al's show.

3. He should give up baiting O'Reilly
I think it diminishes his credibility.

Ignoring blowhards is the best way to deal with them, followed shortly by proving their empty rhetoric wrong. Making it personal is stupid, imo.

4. Not if the O'Franken was the only radio show out right now!
Bill O' Reilly is a huge bag of hot air. The only time he fills comfortable, is when he is in charge. He will never agree to submit that power to some one else. Unless, he is selling a book!

"Who's Looking Out for You" B.S.

6. O'Reichley is a coward of the worst sort
He won't have the balls to go on a show where he can't control questioning or intimidate, as he did to Terry Gross.

In other words, 'bout as much chance as Julius Streicher going down to do Jewish radio in the Munich Ghetto in 1939.

7. In a perverse sort of way, I'd like Al to invite Ann Coulter.
Since, according to Ann baby, they're such "good friends" as Al Franken talked about in his book.

It would be an interesting bit of radio, IMO. :-)

8. Don't Be So Pushy.
The complicity thing is wild, unimaginable....BUT I'M STARTING TO THINK IT'S TRUE!

Not something you would put your rep on the line without HARD PROOF EVIDENCE.

I am just coming around to this possiblity myself...when I saw people ranting about it I thought they were maniacs but Condis PNAC testimony has got me turning the corner on it!!

Keep compiling evidence and make your case without screaming about it...because otherwise you sound like The Clintons Killed Vince Foster type of nut!

10. o'reilly would never do it. he's arrogant and belligerant. not dumb.
as much shit as we have to take from the right, i think we SHOULD go after them with the same intensity. this turning the cheek all the time gets us NOWHERE. hurts us even.

and in the little minds that predominates america, we look WEAK and wrong. i'm glad he goes after the pundits of the right relentlessly. they go after us with such ruthlessness. that's what works in our twisted society. if it didn't, limbo, hannity, savage, et al. would not have the audience that they do.

reason and logic do not work for everyone. we need to address those that are id motivated and respond to emotions and fluff. we can no longer afford to ignore them or speak above them. just my 2 cents.

13. Hell no!
O'Lieily would never appear somewhere where someone else controls the microphone and it can't just "cut their mike" and talk over them. He's a bullying coward that doesn't have the 'nads to appear on Franken's show
