Video: O’Reilly tangles with Sen. Dodd; Dennis Miller rips Dodd limb from limb
posted at 10:42 pm on August 2, 2007 by Bryan
O’Reilly really couldn’t have stacked these two Factor segments any better. First he has Sen. Chris Dodd on to talk about the DailyKos and the YearlyKos and that Photoshop he keeps showing that came from Kos. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll see it in this segment, don’t worry. Once he and Dodd go a few rounds shouting at each other, O’Reilly brings Dennis Miller on to deliver the coup de grace. Or, several of them.
Since neither segment works as well alone, I’ve given you the entire Dodd segment and the choice cuts from Miller Time.

That was awesome.
terryannonline on August 2, 2007 at 10:48 PM
Does Dodd really believe he stands any chance of being President?
He’s delusional in more ways than one.
BacaDog on August 2, 2007 at 10:48 PM
Yeah, that was a good exchange. Minimal cross talk, points got made, and when Dodd danced away from the question it was obvious.
see-dubya on August 2, 2007 at 10:56 PM
Haha, Miller was great.
RightWinged on August 2, 2007 at 10:57 PM
Miller so rocks.
JustTruth101 on August 2, 2007 at 10:57 PM
Sorry…but frankly, I think O’R is a tool. Listening to him argue with Dodd was excruciatingly hard to do…but I knew there was a payoff, so I kept listening.
Now…Dennis Miller? THAT’S a payoff!! I like this guy more and more and more each time he opens his mouth.
Let’s replace O’Really with Michelle or Dennis!
tickleddragon on August 2, 2007 at 10:58 PM
Dennis’ rapier strikes again! His chiding of Bill was keen and unexpected.
Sen. Dudd, er, Dodd was shown as the charlatan he wanted to expose Bill to be.
kevcad on August 2, 2007 at 10:58 PM
‘Fantastic clips.
ZRyan on August 2, 2007 at 10:58 PM
Here’s Dodd’s Kos Diary reacting to the interview(posted by a staffer), let’s see if we can farm some choice crazy.
Bad Candy on August 2, 2007 at 10:59 PM
“Loserfest.”
I hope that sticks.
mikeyboss on August 2, 2007 at 11:08 PM
You know what I think the real reason you hate Kos is, Allah? You’re jealous of the sublime photoshop work they do over there. You look at the stunning way Lieberman’s head slips into the photo body, the perfect proportions, the high wit, and you’re like Salieri, burning inside, despondent, murderous.
Alex K on August 2, 2007 at 11:14 PM
Miller is awesome.
frankj on August 2, 2007 at 11:14 PM
You finished it, Dodd, you finished it five times, and then kept repeating it over and over, just redundantly reiterating a repetition of a point you already made before–like a freakin broken record as we used to say. Now wonder you’re looking at Kusinich’s backside. Boy between O’Reilly and Hannity–they are lousy in the clinches, because they don’t have really solid command of their facts. One of my faves in these kinds of confrontations is Mark Belling from Milwaukee. He just chops clowns like Dodd off at the knees. Too bad Miller didn’t have a chance at him.
smellthecoffee on August 2, 2007 at 11:15 PM
I think there are more than seven or eight hateful commentators at Daily Kos.
Christoph on August 2, 2007 at 11:15 PM
Remember when he said “I’m only going to show this once”!
Pablo on August 2, 2007 at 11:17 PM
that is classic
was it just me or did that sound like Ross Perot?
CaptainObvious on August 2, 2007 at 11:19 PM
Dennis’ quote about O’Reilly getting Senator Dodd on Dennis’ radio show:
“If I wanted someone who drones on like that, I’d put on a test pattern my friend.”
That was priceless!!
Montana on August 2, 2007 at 11:19 PM
I’ve been looking for these. I watched this earlier. Miller was spot on here. Dodd should never have had the time on-air. And in the segment after Miller, Bernard Goldberg agreed with Miller. BillO’, didn’t have a great night. But it was a good show.
PowWow on August 2, 2007 at 11:21 PM
I have a huge smile on my face and am laughing out loud at my desk so hard the cat is looking at me strangely.
I can live with that.
And Miller has it exactly right…Dodd can now go to Kos as a huge hero who put O’Reilly in his place. Big ego boost there.
Sheesh.
Bob's Kid on August 2, 2007 at 11:24 PM
Yeah. They are definitely aligned with the Loser mentality all the way around. Mediocrity at it’s most average level. Commies have a thing about winners. They hate them. Ya see, the Left suffers from a Loser’s Complex. Like Ol’; Gorby Here
That’s right. We like to win. Keep acting like losers. Our patience and sympathies have dried out!
Egfrow on August 2, 2007 at 11:24 PM
Yeah, but he’s the only one with nothing to lose. All of the other candidates could go on vacation on Mars, leaving him as the only one and he’d still lose to Mickey Mouse.
Maybe he’s vying for Vice? What’s with the old guys?
TinMan13 on August 2, 2007 at 11:25 PM
Dodd is such a . . . . . communist, useless idiot.
Liberman was done a favor CT libs to lose to Ned and
change parties.
Chris, , , Your one reason I’m Texyank.
Texyank on August 2, 2007 at 11:25 PM
I am outraged, OUTRAGED at all these attacks of Chris Dodd’s thinking ability!
You want proof he IS the man for the White House?
Look no further than this video, linked from the front page of Senator Dodd’s website.
CHRIS DODD’S WHITE HAIR
Christoph on August 2, 2007 at 11:31 PM
Great fun. 80% of the viewing audience is still wondering “who the hell is that buffoon with the white hair?” The other 20% are wondering why anyone would put him in front of a camera…
Miller’s ideology is probably still left of center for the larger part, but his 9-11 consciousness and the savaging he must take from his leftist former friends seem to have turned him into a partisan of the right, if only for the purpose of ripping on the Useful Idiots of the Fringe.
I love that.
Jaibones on August 2, 2007 at 11:34 PM
Test pattern! roflmao Dennis tie knots 101 google it.
sonnyspats1 on August 2, 2007 at 11:36 PM
One positive outcome from this is that Dodd’s constituents will see how crazy he is, and wonder how in the hell they elected him Senator.
BacaDog on August 2, 2007 at 11:42 PM
Better warm up MM, you’re up next! O’R just got pwned by Dodd AND Miller.
Bloviate all you want! :)
BJ Phisch on August 2, 2007 at 11:43 PM
Can you belive this link ? ? ?
Chris Dodd For President. WTF
http://action.chrisdodd.com/t/41/signUp.jsp?key=1487
Texyank on August 2, 2007 at 11:54 PM
Miller is so accurate in his assessment of Dodd that it amazed me. Dodd really did leave the impression of an obstanant, rude fool who was more interested in regurtating propaganda from the Left than have any manner of meaningful dialogue.
The more I hear of Dennis Miller the more he impresses me. Dodd really does appear to be a pawn of the far Left, this nation’s biggest weakness.
It would be spectacular to see O’Reilly give Dennis Miller more air time.
omegaram on August 2, 2007 at 11:56 PM
Well that was a big, wet, sloppy kiss from Chris Dodd to the KosKids.
Dodd’s an old school, old money liberal. Deep down it’s gotta annoy him that he has to go do a dog and pony show on O’Reilly just to get a little attention from some people he wouldn’t let in his house for a million dollars.
I hope he enjoyed his little appearance tonight. Given O’Reilly’s ratings it’s likely more people will have seen him tonight then will vote for him in all the primaries next year.
Drew on August 2, 2007 at 11:58 PM
Glad to see I’m not the only one that feels that way.
The first few months I watched him, I thought O’Reilly was pretty good; But for a few years now, I find him so irritating that if I were a giant oyster and you placed him inside my shell, he’d soon be at the center of the hugest pearl ever imagined.
I only watch when MM is on, or when there is an interesting clip posted here at HA.
Miller was OK, but not at ‘the top of his game’ tonight, I thought. Plus that tie situation was distracting. He would have done better to have gone ‘open collar’.
LegendHasIt on August 3, 2007 at 12:07 AM
Dodd is like a minor character in a Frank Capra movie about the weaselocracy in Washington.
Doing more tapdancing than an Mickey Rooney number.
Soft shoe, doubletalk, and out the door.
Uninformed, oblivious, and smiling.
Miller was too mild.
Dodd errs -should be the headline.
profitsbeard on August 3, 2007 at 12:11 AM
O’Reilly is such a tool. It’s so obvious too anyone remotely familiar with the internet that in forums theres always idiots who spew vile stuff. Hotair is no exception. Far from it. Read what it says right above the comments section. Individual posters don’t represent the views of the site. If they did hotair would believe in calling mexicans *etbacks, bombing mecca, starting an armed revolution against the government because the dastardly liberal media is taking over America etc… Dodd is correct in that its ideology thats driving this. Otherwise he could just as easily attack HA. And then Miller comes on and name calls for awhile. Way to gain the high ground from all that ad hominem hate spewed on the Daily Kos!
crr6 on August 3, 2007 at 12:17 AM
Dodd does have a point, but in a way he didn’t intend. What is objectionable about Kos is in fact the ideology – the ideology of Hate. Whether it’s self-hatred, hatred of freedom, hatred of human progress, hatred of God, hatred of America, hatred of W – that’s the irreducible root of everything Left, and everything Kos stands for.
Halley on August 3, 2007 at 12:31 AM
IOW….Dodd stomped O’Reilly? (sigh)
Ever since GERALDO started making regular appearances on OHS (o’reilly, hannity, sustern) plus the hyper-nauseating “at large” on the weekends, I’ve been watching LESS AND LESS of FoxNews.
Nothing against anyone on FNC (except the slimey little Jerroldo rodent) but I just won’t watch that pusillanimous pip-squeak.
There was a time….not too long ago, where
DuddDodd would have been cut to pieces on the Factor.No mas. O’reilly’s using Gerataldo in his attempt to find and woo the ephemeral “middle” and looking more and more like Fast Forward Fodder on my super-speedy HDTV DVR. Doesn’t show up on Neilson, I betcha, if I record the program, but FF through most of it!
I’m actually watching Glenn Beck on CNN………and…..(gulp) LOU DOBBS….(but only for anti-immigration…..I SWEAR!) (sounds of profuse sobbing)
Keith_Z on August 3, 2007 at 12:40 AM
Mr Dodds you have just been royally P3WND.
Mojack420 on August 3, 2007 at 12:45 AM
Dennis is THE MAN ! I have to agree 100% why did Bill O even waste the airtime on that guy. Bill O and his web hate campaign is getting kinda silly, KOS will be KOS and Free Republic will be Free Republic and most adults can chose where they spend their browsing time.
BluegrassHindu on August 3, 2007 at 12:48 AM
It’s hilarious to see you guys complain about politicians actually talking to the people who support them. And even more hilarious to see you guys praising Dennis Miller for essentially roasting Sen. Dodd after he’s off the air.
Nonfactor on August 3, 2007 at 12:50 AM
Dennis Miller is fantastic.
CP on August 3, 2007 at 12:52 AM
It’s more to the point that he identifies with losers that support him.
- The Cat
MirCat on August 3, 2007 at 12:55 AM
Dodd not knowing anything about Daily Kos was like Jesse Jackson not knowing any of the murder victims of Tookie Williams. The Democrats are falling apart everywhere.
DfDeportation on August 3, 2007 at 12:56 AM
Nothing too crazy yet, but they sure are giving a no tier candidate a tongue bath. Talk about ideology driven…they HATE Bill O’ and couldn’t care less how true his comments were as long as a dem appeared to make points.
I am sure there is a certain segment of those KOS clowns who will fall for this stunt and send Dodd some bucks.
csdeven on August 3, 2007 at 1:14 AM
Does Dodd really believe he stands any chance of being President?
BacaDog on August 2, 2007 at 10:48 PM
Keith_Z on August 3, 2007 at 1:33 AM
If this were the Silky Pony, he’d already have a fund-raising email out to supporters whining about being prosecuted by the evil Fox News.
Mallard T. Drake on August 3, 2007 at 1:39 AM
After skimming a few dozen comments I got bored, but all I know is from what I read, Miller’s prediction was spot on. He knew that Dodd did this ONLY for attention and to be a hero with the nutroots.
Exhibit B#, the link others have posted above:
http://action.chrisdodd.com/t/41/signUp.jsp?key=1487
Lol, somewhere John Edwards is crying as he watches Dodd steal his schtick, and probably some supporters. Freakin’ hilarious! Seriously, is that little call for support with video posted not identical to Edwards various fundraising scams like “Coulter Cash”, etc.
Dodd’ campaign will soon be over, but don’t be surprised if you hear him come out and talk about the evil “They” soon, like Silky has mastered in recent weeks.
Exit… dream: How awesome/hilarious would it be if there was an independent Edwards/Dodd ticket?
RightWinged on August 3, 2007 at 1:40 AM
See above… granted that’s a page not an email… but it’s an email address capture page, so there ya have it.
RightWinged on August 3, 2007 at 1:41 AM
Great show, Bill let Dodd prove himself a bobble headed loon and then Miller took the layup and slam dunked the Kospunk’d, useful idiot.
Speakup on August 3, 2007 at 1:41 AM
Give Dodd a break. After all he did send his only son to earth before Krypton exploded.

Time to pull this out of the files for posterity:
TheBigOldDog on August 3, 2007 at 8:50 AM
I admit I don’t spend any time at the Daily Kos, but I don’t see how you can equate it to this site in terms of hate. O’Reilly is becoming more and more tedious though, even though I still admire him a lot for his leadership in the culture war among other things.
MT on August 3, 2007 at 8:53 AM
Dodd’s campaign website is capitalizing on the O’Reilly appearance.
George on August 3, 2007 at 8:56 AM
TheBigOldDog on August 3, 2007 at 8:50 AM
Have heard about the sandwich story for years, but never knew the details as to who was the other piece of bread.
Never liked Dodd anyway, never will.

Biiigggg difference between HA snark and indignation and KOS rage and dry heaves.
captivated_dem on August 3, 2007 at 9:05 AM
Dodd has long been a hack. Dennis Miller Rules!He is right about O’Reilly having this hack on his program.
Wade on August 3, 2007 at 9:07 AM
O’Reilly did make a comment about San Francisco being attacked. It was on his radio show however. He did say it. One need only google “O’Reilly San Francisco” to see the numerous sites that document this.
O’Reilly always just yells over his guests, it becomes very bothersome. His segments turn into him shouting and his guest saying “can I finish?” over and over again.
Constant Parrhesia on August 3, 2007 at 9:14 AM
The quaint folk at huffpo are having a dodd-gasm screaming how “their guy won! oreilly is a nazi!, blah, blah, blah.”
It’s totally impenetrable. My head hurts trying to digest anything I read over there.
Though I did manage to get banned. Not that hard really.
All one has to do is post contrary opinions.
locomotivebreath1901 on August 3, 2007 at 9:18 AM
There are 2 million nice viewers though.
He has to yell over the guests who are off topic, chew their food more than once or filibuster. Seems like
Dodomet all these rude guest actions.Wade on August 3, 2007 at 9:46 AM

I know one libby who won’t be there then….Billy Clinton!
I peeked at the Daily Kos home page a little while ago and fell asleep. I couldn’t decide which link to click.

You, sir, are a GENIUS.

Dennis Miller is so sage.
He is the Socrates of our time.
TheSitRep on August 3, 2007 at 9:57 AM
The candidates dis the DLC, but flock to the DailyKos. Tells you who’s leading who doesn’t it?
volsense on August 3, 2007 at 9:57 AM
Oh, aMEN, my bruthah!
tree hugging sister on August 3, 2007 at 9:58 AM
My advice for O’Reily, get LGF and some other Kos watchdogs on one night for a show who have chronicled the hate of all types on that site.
They could really tear Kos a new one and make all the DNC candidates look like the scumbags they are.
jp on August 3, 2007 at 10:02 AM
Kneel before Dodd!
James on August 3, 2007 at 10:03 AM
I guess I’m the only one who agrees that he should have someone on his show like Dodd.
My father is 81-years-old, he owns a pc, but doesn’t get on it. He wouldn’t have a clue as to what Daily Kos is or how Dodd is agreeing with that hatesite, but he would be completely disgusted and surprised by Dodd standing by their right to show a picture as was shown of Joe Lieberman with Bush.
I think it’s important for O’Reilly to stay on top of Daily Kos’ and what goes on there. If anything, for other people like my father, who does vote.
moonsbreath on August 3, 2007 at 10:04 AM
Miller in ’08
Keli on August 3, 2007 at 10:24 AM
Wisdom. Thanks.
RushBaby on August 3, 2007 at 10:24 AM
Dodd has a lot of nerve getting on O’Reilly’s case about sticking to issues. Of COURSE he objects to the ideology. No big surprise. But it’s O’Reilly’s show, and he decides the subject matter, not Dodd. I turned the volume off after hearing Dodd say the same thing five or six times (a sure sign to most people that you aren’t getting through), ‘cuz I wanted to hear Dennis Miller tell him off.
If conservatives put up a photo like that, some hippy-dippy folksinger would write a song about it. Where have all the Republican folksingers gone?
Yeah, I know, long time passing.
manwithblackhat on August 3, 2007 at 10:28 AM
Why is it that every time I see Dodd these days, he reminds me of Ted Kennedy?
(Not physically, just every time he opens his mouth.)
cheers

eon on August 3, 2007 at 10:31 AM
Dodd is pond scum and wouldn’t know the truth from a pile of dog feces. He doesn’t simply support KOS . . . he is KOS.
rplat on August 3, 2007 at 10:38 AM
Hey, the forum’s open, snarkmeister. Let’s hear your impassioned support of the Great Senator Chris Doddering, the douche of Bridgeport.
Exit question, though: where does he stand in the polls — in Connecticut?
Jaibones on August 3, 2007 at 11:06 AM
I think Miller would make a perfect press secretary. Evah.
mojowire on August 3, 2007 at 11:18 AM
Isn’t he odd, that Senator Dodd?
saved on August 3, 2007 at 12:25 PM
I would pay money to sit in the press room. Can you imagine the HELEN exchanges?
peski on August 3, 2007 at 12:31 PM
Does Dodd breath in?
EricPWJohnson on August 3, 2007 at 12:43 PM
Uhhh… I don’t know. Do you have one to finish, and how long will it take? … That’s right -down the hall and to the left. Wash your hands when you’re done!
taznar on August 3, 2007 at 1:09 PM
Miller is a true treat in the wide sea of talk radio. I love that he is fair to all those who are sincere in their expression. But when he smells the blood of lies in the water he can strike like a tiger shark and shred a doofus in such an entertaining way. I suggest peeps check out a few snippets from his radio show. I dig on the archives for some good stuff from time to time.
http://www.dennismillerradio.com/
Hmm I guess it sounds like a commercial, I’ll apologize for that part, but hey its good stuff.
bigskinny on August 3, 2007 at 1:58 PM
Chris Dodd is another example of why we seriously need Term Limitation in Congress. The man is a totally clueless buffoon who obviously is getting his marching orders these days from George Soros and the moveon.org bunch. Dennis Miller on the other hand frigging rocks! I would personally love to see him moderate the next Democratic debate, just so that millions of viewers can watch him send Clinton, Edwards, Obama, Biden and the rest of the pack into complete hissy fits and force them to show all of us their true colors.
pilamaye on August 3, 2007 at 2:21 PM
You’re right. We shouldn’t give your numbskull retard candidates good suggestions such as: it may behoove you to suck up a little more to the troops and a little less to the weirdos who hate the troops. We should just let them shoot themselves in their collective feet because they are sooooooooooooooo good at it. I think I’ll make a little video portraying how the Dem candidates are more sympathetic to the anti-troop, anti-American crowd at KOS and fear debating on Fox News – the most popular news cable channal. What losers.
foxforce91 on August 3, 2007 at 2:36 PM
Hmmmm….talk radio is a community gathering of many people expressing their view points, yet does not Comrade Dodd want to invoke the Unfairness Doctrine like so many of the hardcore leftists Democrats and some of the rePubic-Hairicans? Indeed, and I could be mistaken, but has Dodd ever defended talk radio?
Why is Daily Kos OK, but not talk radio?
The False Dervish on August 3, 2007 at 3:38 PM
Fantastic! Dodd chases CIC snowball through hell only to have Dennis kick him square in his Ken-Doll smooth parts.
Teddy on August 3, 2007 at 4:03 PM
Dennis…? Is that you…?
CliffHanger on August 3, 2007 at 5:03 PM
Man you guys should see the kiddies over at kos claiming that Dodd wiped the floor with O’Rielly.

If DM ever turns hardcore lib, I quit.
Dirk Sodsnot on August 3, 2007 at 6:51 PM
Miller used to be on the other side. But when he was, he wasn’t a nutroot. He didn’t bother me half as bad as most of those people. Glad he came over.
PowWow on August 3, 2007 at 8:48 PM
