[Video] Laura Ingraham and Bill O'Reilly discuss Rand Paul's foreign policy views

[Okaloosa]

O'Reilly said that Rand won't come on his show. That's probably a good idea. Rand has nothing to gain by going on that show.

I would even go so far as to say Rand should go on MSNBC and CNN during the same time slot as O'Reilly just to stick it to him. There is no doubt in my mind O'reilly would try to bring Rand down.

Dude got manhandled.

Also it still weirds me out when American 'journalists' use the term "we" when describing their party. Nobody I know in my country is affiliated with a party, its extremely rare. It seems massively unprofessional for a journalist to be party affiliated.

It's because they are not journalist, they are entertainers posing on a infotainment "news" station. American politics is a lot like American Football. you have fans supporting two different teams and the fans just use talking points they hear ring leaders on shows like this use in daily conversations with others on their "team" and against those that are on the other "team".

Most Americans don't even register any more when hosts on shows say "we" on these networks because those tuning in already assume depending on what channel you are watching they are rooting for one team or another, MSNBC = Dems, Fox = Repubs, CNN = Tries to act like they are neutral, but in the end it all comes down to sensationalism reporting where truth takes a backseat to good tv drama that will keep people tuned in so that the networks can keep viewers glued while they go to commercial break so the network can make money. No such thing as true journalism on TV in America anymore, anyone that tries that will be restricted access to politicians and won't have jobs because the networks won't like how they don't adopt the us vs. them mentality that is the culture today.

8 years later youd think theyd know what isolationism is

those blood thirsty war-mongers know EXACTLY what 'isolationism is, and 'they' use it like the liberals use 'racism'....

Isn't Ingraham one of those who occasionally is "coming around"?

If she goes full retard with neocon BS, can we never heard about her again being anything other than neocon scum? Please I ask everyone?

Ingraham is more of a paleo-conservative, and often aligns herself with liberty conservatives. Dave Brat is the prime example.

She is no fan of neoconservatives, at least not anymore, especially Lindsey and McCain (who she mentions in this interview). She has "come around" so to speak, since she first supported the Iraq war.

She is a typical example of how many voters supported Bush in good faith as a Republican, but now have no interest in repeating that disaster. The McCain/Graham/O'Reilly faction is small and shrinking. Typical Republican voters are moving in the direction of Rand Paul and away from neocons. People got fooled and they aren't interested in repeating the same mistake, regardless of O'Reilly's wishes.

That was good press for Rand. Laura defended him well, and made Bill look like the stupid hack that he is.

Why does supporting secure borders and American sovereignty make someone an isolationist?

Immigration policies have nothing to do with sovereignty (though advocates of protectionism frequently conflate the two, whether out of ignorance or for PR purposes I don't know). A state is sovereign if and only if it can enforce its own laws in its own territory - that is the meaning of the term. It matters not what those laws are: e.g. whether they provide for restricted or free immigration. Open borders (i.e. free immigration and trade) does not mean the end of national sovereignty. And this isn't a debatable point, it's a question of the meaning of words.

LOL at his "poll" at the end of the segment.

...Yes, one of those "how often do you beat you wife?" type polls.

Obvious shill is obvious.

O'Reilly is just...the worst.
