The point is that in this particular case, O'Reilly's "shtick" was to use facts and logic to argue his point. Letterman's was to make a funny joke.
What is up John boy?
Apologizing for someone again. Feel free to contribute to the argument when you grow a pair.
Eh? Not following you here.
So I pointed out a logical fallacy in your initial argument, and you respond with *another* one?
Look. I am contributing. I just find it incredibly amusing that whenever Conservatives dare to pull out *gasp* facts to support their arguments, the Liberals sorta roll their eyes, make a big show of joking about it, and claim that the Conservative in question is somehow wrong for daring to argue the point in the first place. Meanwhile, they almost *never* support their own positions with anything more then clever words.
That's the point here. And it's exactly what Letterman did in this case. It's what Galloway did when he appeared before Congress. It's what the majority of all Liberal talking heads do when they discuss virtually any issue. It's all platitudes, assumptions, and rhetoric. And when someone dares to argue using logic and facts, they get slamed for being too argumentative, or too serious, or too biased. After all, we shouldn't actually think about politics. We should just make jokes about it, and the guy with the best sounding one liners is the guy we should follow...
Got it.
