    O'Reilly should have let him explain a little more, but I don't think his outrage was totally unfounded. The country doesn't benefit from hearing O'Reilly yell, though. We'd be better off with O'Reilly pushing him hard but letting the man speak.

    I thought his verbosity could have been toned down a bit. He's really mad though. He must have lost a bunch in the market.

    O'Reilly's show has become too much about himself and less about the issues and this episode is an example. It doesn't help him because there is a growing list of influential people who won't appear on his show and be cut off and subjected to abuse. O'Reilly isn't a decisionmaker, he's just a talking head. I'm not going to watch just to see him stroke his own ego at the expense of a guest who actually knows what is going on and couldn't get a word in edgewise.

    O'Reilly has been know to make good points and ask good questions, but when he starts being rude to polite guests and throws tantrums . . . I just change the channel. Lot's of people are doing so.

    No, he's the flip side of the same coin--all about him. Less rude but more condescending.
