O'Reilly is Donahue-d (video)

News & Politics

Here we see why Phil Donahue's show was canceled by MSNBC despite having been its highest rated program. Had Phil remained on TV, perhaps -- perhaps -- the war and a number of other catastrophically stupid policies would've been that much harder to pull over on the American audience people.

After taking O'Reilly's opening framing of Cindy Sheehan and incinerating it with some impresive reframing, Donahue cuts O'Reilly off and says (as O'Reilly disavows the Sheehan as "unAmerican" label and opts for "radical")[VIDEO]:


"Let me tell you what's radical. What's radical is to send more Americans to die in this war which is a monumental blunder by a president who swaggered us into it with, by the way, the, at least, tacit approval of the Democratic party -- there's a lot of sin to go around here..."
And even as O'Reilly cut in, Donahue wouldn't give an inch. Watch this. Watch it now. (video via Crooks and Liars)
