Hillary Campaign Confirms She's Appearing On O'Reilly Tomorrow Night
Hillary spokesperson Howard Wolfson confirms to me that she's going on Fox News' O'Reilly Factor tomorrow night.
This has the potential to infuriate the netroots more than Obama's interview with Chris Wallace, because O'Reilly is obviously an unrepentant Dem-sliming, Dem-despising hard-right ideologue, while Wallace at least tries to keep up the pretense that he's working for a legit news organization.
It will be interesting to see how Hillary justifies this -- whether she signals some sort of intention to "take on" O'Reilly, as the Obama adviser promised he'd do to Wallace, or whether she actually does challenge Fox in some way. If not, expect a major outpouring of criticism.

First question: Being so much better than Obama at everything, do you find it difficult to be leading in the popular vote and having him disenfranchise so many voters while he prays to a God who hates America and stabs his wife with a flagpin?

Don't hold your breath. After her sit-down with Richard Melon Scaife, I hardly find it surprising or even "news" that Hillary would go on Bill O'Reilly. IF she goes on there and takes Bill on, where Obama did not, I might even LAUD her for it, while Obama gets nothing but scorn from me for his decision to appear and his subsequent performance.

So, all those people bitching about Obama appearing on Fox News Sunday:
This is worse, right? Right?
It's pretty obvious O'Reilly, Hannity, Rush and Rove all want Hillary to win. They fear Obama, that's why they are hitting him non-stop over Wright.
The thing is: This Wright issue only hurts Obama now, against weak-kneed liberals who are afraid of Republican tactics.
Once the general starts: Wright will be old news. Everyone will be sick of it. But there's lots of stuff about McCain that hasn't even been touched yet.
Personally, I can't wait for the General!

Come on now, do you really believe any of that?
Afraid of Obama? Any evidence for that? Perhaps they're hitting him because he's the most likely Democratic nominee... No, wait, that would be too obvious.
Wright will be old news? Yeah, I can't imagine anyone bringing him up again closer to the general, probably with an itinerary of which sermons Obama was sitting in church for. Of course, he'll probably pop up again in October of his own volition to do a comedy routine mocking white people or somesuch. Nothing to worry about there...

I vote we start a betting pool on how many times Clinton and O'Reilly will agree with each other.

Strangely enough, O'Reilly will go very easy on Clinton, despite the fact that he never goes easy on anyone unless they're a fellow right winger.

The problem is that, based on their comments here, most Clinton supporters are at least as conservative as Bill O'Reilly, and likely more so. This will allow her to slag Obama for a full twenty minutes, and allow TPMEC and the rest of the establishment media to refreshen their anti-Obama talking points.

Thats a GOOD thing. HRC goes into conservative land, starts spouting conservative rhetoric, and looses the remaining superdels...
Actually, if I were her, I would stop that nonsense as soon as O'Reilly brings it up, and say something like "I think we should stick to issues that matter to the American people", she would get a LOT more points that way, even from me.

Greg? I don't think there's going to be much criticism of Clinton from netroots...simply because, in my opinion, people already think of Hillary as willing to sacrifice any principle in order to gain an advantage.
She's already said "screw 'em" (figuratively) to Moveon, so why would anyone be surprised that in a desperate grab for votes, Hillary appears on Bill-O?
The appearance, the talk preceding it, and the talk following it, are all good for Clinton. Keeps her name in the news, at a time when her campaign is running out of cash (the breathless "we raised 10 million" claim that can't be verified, notwithstanding).

I've never liked it when Dem candidates go on Fox, Hillary, Barack, or whoever. But if Hillary goes on and gives O'Liely the pushback that Obama's campaign promised... well that's a bit of one-upmanship that's going to be hard to ignore. And you can believe that's how it'll get spun, both by the Clinton campaign and the networks.

There was not one damn thing wrong with that interview. I'm sorry he didn't punch Wallace in the nose for all of us - I'd love to see such a smug face pushed in a little more. But I'd really rather Bill Clinton handle that than our presidential nominee.

I'm not talking like an asshat at all Tena.
For the same reasons I didn't want the Dem debates to be on Fox, I don't want to see that Republican Talkingpoint Network legitimized by the presidential nominee.
Now if you were fine with having the Dem debates on Fox and you you're fine with having Dems in general on that network--that's your opinion. But don't pretend that there isn't a counter argument to yours, and don't pretend that it doesn't have some legitimate points. In my view Dems get nothing from Fox because that network is completely and utterly biased. I'm not against trying to reach across the aisle at all, I'm just against doing it in stupid ways.

Step right off and right now and quit accusing me of some mindless orthodoxy.
If you didn't see pushback then you don't know what it looks like when adults make themselves heard. First thing out of Wallace's mouth was a snarky remark that really went to how Obama has handled Fox - "long time no see." Yes, because Obama froze Fox out for months after they smeared him with the Muslim lie.
Fox wants and needs Obama a hell of lot more than he needs them, but that interview was not half bad. He was rational, calm - and needed to be so 800,000 little old ladies didn't have a fucking coronary over the scary black dude.
I think the interview helped him with that segment of the voters and that is not the Democrats and he knows it - so what?

Hey you're welcome to your opinion Tena, but if it's OK for Obama to go on Fox then it's damn sure OK for Hillary to do it. And I'm still waiting for your answer on the whole Dem debate on Fox: were you fer or agin it?
And as to stepping off, you're the one that came out guns blazing so you're looking pretty damn hypocritical to me. And if you're not espousing an Obama-can-do-no-wrong-orthodoxy then answer the question about the Dem debates, thanks.

Considering just how badly a network handled the last debate, I am now wondering just what difference it would make.
I'm not an apologist for Fox - I didn't want him to go on there in the first place and didn't expect anything out of it. I was pretty shocked when I watched the interview. It's way beyond me what everybody has been so excited about and what interview they saw cause it wasn't the one I saw apparently.
It was a decent interview, all things considered.
April 29, 2008 2:31 PM | Reply | Permalink
Sorry Tena, but you're ducking the question. You insisted that I answer whether I'd seen the interview, and I obliged you. It seems fair to expect you to do the same regarding whether you were for or against the Dems having a Debate on Fox. I'm not trying to play gotcha here, but if you were against having the Dem debates on Fox, I'd like to hear how what Obama did was different (and again that's not a rheotorical question; I'm truly curious).
I agree that with you that Fox needs Obama much more than he needs them, but from my perspective that argues for him not going on the network. Their ratings are way down this year and I don't see any reason to help them out; I'm a bit skeptical that Obama was reaching 800,000 little old ladies when he went on.
I think I've been on these boards enough that you'd know I have no love for Hillary, but if we're going to give Barack a pass for going on Fox News, it seems to me we now have to give Hillary one.

You might be on to something here. Obama didn't argue with Wallace in part because Wallace gave him a relatively fair interview. Bill'O on the other hand obviously won't and his style is to argue so she won't seem crazy if she goes off on him.
On the other hand she has to be careful because if Bill'O gives her a bunch of set up questions for her to nail Obama with then that will really piss of the Dems and even further show that she will do anything to get elected.
She could do ok for herself is she let's Bill'O start a fight and then stands up strong; but if she seems to enjoy it too much or uses this as a easy chance to slime Obama then it will hurt her overall.

Turn around and say it to who? The progressive liberal wing of the party that doesn't support her, anyway?
"Taking Fox on" matters to the netroots, no one else. Hillary already doesn't have the support of the majority of the netroots. Going on Bill-O's show and "taking him on" isn't going to change that.
More likely, Hillary will join Bill in bashing Obama, in an attempt to get that important demographic of Fox voters who are never, ever, ever going to vote for her in the first place.
Another brilliant maneuver by the Clinton campaign.

O'Reilly will come out, the next day, with his own soundbite of respect about what a "tough cookie" Hillary Clinton is, and how, if he were voting Democratic, he'd put his money on her.
She'll immediately post the O'Reilly clip at HillaryHub and use it to brag to everyone about how -- unlike that pansy, Barack Obama -- she "took Fox on."

Well. Well. Well. Let's see if Hillary can have her cake and eat it on this show. Seems to me she can't have it both ways and also come across as sane, but then look who's hosting. She can either challenge the Fox Propaganda Network for what it is and come across as a champion for progressive politics... OR ...she can join Bill'O in trashing Obama with every triviality real and imagined that can be served up. My money is on the latter. As Bill Clinton demonstrated with his vaunted Presidency, there is a third way...so let's see a Hillary/Lieberman Independent ticket this year. They can promote a neo-neocon agenda.

Did Hillary or her campaign ever criticize Obama for appearing on Fox? Or was it just her supporters (and MoveOn)?
Of course she's not going to promise to "take on" O'Reilly (hmmm, come to think of it, Obama himself never made a promise like that either). If she's smart she sees that Obama's diplomatic engagement was more sucessful for him than the confrontational posturing that so many (around here at least) hoped for. If O'Reilly's smart he'll see that helping Hillary is the most disruptive thing he can do to the Democratic Party.
My bet is that they spend a lot of time talking about Rev. Wright.
