Obama has to have a Neanderthal protect him from a TV personality like O’Reilly. Hillary, on the other hand, isn't afraid. This is just one of the staggering differences between fragile ‘lil Obama and Hillary.

Was it one of Farrakhan's thugs who protected Wright?

Obama doesn't want to answer the tough questions about his character that O'Reilly would invariably ask. Unlike many in the awestruck media, O'Reilly would definitely ask Obama why he didn't leave Wright's church and publicly take him to task for saying America created the AIDS virus to kill African Americans. He'd also ask Obama why he has maintained a friendship with Bill "the bomber" Ayers.

Hillary knows O’Reilly would also ask her tough questions, but the chief difference is that she isn’t afraid. Virtually everything about her life has already been rummaged through, and still she remains the stronger, smarter, and more competent candidate.

NOW that's one TOUGH, BRAVE woman ! ALWAYS ready to take on whatever crosses her path . Gotta love her courage.

Hillary '08

In my most humble opinion, it appears as though Rev. Wright and the Michigan branch of the NAACP are on Hillary Clinton’s side. They are out to make Obama look bad, and they are doing a really good job.

They want Hillary to win.

They need Hillary to win.

They loved the Clinton years.

They want a Clintonpeat.

So, Rev. Wright, the Michigan branch of the NAACP, and most people of Michigan want Hillary to win. Rumor has it, that Rev. Wright is on Hillary’s payroll. So watch this, as May 6 approaches, Rev Wright’s comments and appearances will intensify. Obama will look bad, voters to loose trust, and Hillary will come out smelling like roses.

In addition, Rev Wright is making all of the church leaders and preachers of all RACES look really, really bad. Now that’s sad!!!!

Hey, Gov. Mike Easley...welcome to the team!!!

btw...REV WRIGHT DOES NOT REPRESENT THE BLACK CHURCH

Hillary decided to go on O'reilly because Fox is one of the only outlets she has left that allows her to spew her lies, without correcting her! So of course it would make sense that she go on there.

O'Reilly usually wimps out on these pre-taped interviews. Remember his less-than-incisive interview of Michael Moore? I expect the same here.

Bill O'Reilly is a jerk. He LOVES to degrade people on this show, especilly women.I doesn't interview he bashes. I hope Hillary gets what she deserves. This is one place where she might be able to spread all her lies...For sure they will rack Obama over the coals.

Hopefully Bill asks her why her supporters organized Wright's press conferences.
and what she thinks Ahmadenijad is going to do with her comments of "obliterating Iran with nuclear weapons" (if she hasn't seen the video propaganda he is passing around to friends and allies talking about protecting themselves from the warmongering usa...with getting nuclear weapons...you know just to defend themselves)

or maybe ask her how she is going to take our troops out of Iraq but going to set up an umbrella of protection for the rest of the middle east on our dime.

This woman is the worst candidate we have ever seen.

...and maybe Bill will even go into her scandals that she has never once publicly been asked about...or answered or why those have been off limits in this campaign.

She will bring us down in the vision of the world more than even John McCain at this point. Get rid of this candidate.

Farrakhan and Wright had called Judaism a gutter religion, sided wih terrorists looking for the destruction of Israel. Obama by his 20-year close relationship at best condones this hate and judging by his anti-Semitic foreign advisers shares at least some hostility towards Israel and Jews.

I THINK HILLARY IS REALLY A REPUBLICAN IN SHEEPS CLOTHING.

Why is Hillary advertising in Indiana about a factory her husband Bill Clinton closed?

Why is the media covering up this story?

I wonder if HRC will answer to why Rev Wright was invited to the White during the Cliton years. Doesn't that make her guilty by association like Obama? I mean - this is America, there are not two standards we go by...one for whites and the other for blacks..is there?

wey to go Hillary I love the O,Reilly Factor I watch it every day. I am very proud of you and I hope you make to the white house.

Hey ya'll I am right here in Indianapolis and we are excited about the election! Hillary is going to win here! The Republicans are coming out strong for her. No because Rush is teeling them to vote for Hillary but they know if McCain can't pull it off they would rather have Hillary than BO as president!!

Hoosiers for Hillary!

I'm disappointed that Hillary is going to give legitimancy to this neocon shill. He represents the lowest element of the non-news, conservative, propaganda channel FOX. Shame on you Hillary for pandering to this creep.

I can tell by the replies that this very much angers the Obama supporters.

Obama is too much a WIMP to face Oreilly.

So here come the Obama SPIN MASTERS to explain why somehow.

Dont worry. Oreilly will be TOUGH on Clinton.

Obama supporters are DEFINITLY worried that Clinton will take the heat, forcing tremendous pressure on Obama to come on, where he will not look as good as Clinton.

Obama never looks as good when the heat is on as Clinton does.

So he will have to look like a tool on his show, or refuse to come on, making him look even more like a wimp compared to Clinton.

This is true. If it isn't scripted BO can't respond. Yes, he already looks bad becasue he won't talk to O'Reilly or debate Hillary again.

h

Hillary is interviewing with O'Riley and Obama is not. A really clever person could figure out that it's a good move on her part.

On the other hand, you rant and rave and indulge in cheap assertions. I guess that's the way you see life.

askthetuffquestions I hope O'Reilly asks her the tough questions also.
One thing you can say about Clinton and she shows up, stands up and whether you like her answers or not she's got the backbone to be willing to take the heat for them. Like the Kyle-Lieberman vote. Obama attacks her for her "yes" vote when he didn't even have the "audacity" to show up and cast a vote. He had a rally (which it turned out he didn't) and his other excuse was he didn't know the vote was going to be called (he's a U.S. Senator and there are planes). No, Obama pulled his usual I won't vote (or if I do I'll vote "present" or mix up the voting buttons so I can say "I voted this but meant to vote that) and take the political flak but then when it serves my purposes down the road I'll say " Clinton's judgement was flawed" or point out how poor her judgement was in comparison to mine and hope my supporters are enamored with me enough to continue to not do their homework and then find out I never showed up.
Supporters of Obama, when will begin to do your homework? Again, whether one agrees with how Clinton cast her vote on Kyle-Lieberman at least she showed up, stood up, cast a vote and was willing to take the political flak for it. That's character. That's what is needed in a leader. And that's someone who has a backbone.

Where is your courage John Edwards. Your wife likes Hillary's health plan. Her plan would be good for America. Come on John, get on board with your wife and support Hillary. You know it will be impossible for Obama to win NC, but Hillary just might do well in your state in November.

You know I really despise Bill O'Reilly, but the fact of the matter is that in order to bring people together, someone has to be willing to budge. Hillary Clinton has been shrugging off her ego and giving both sides a chance to talk with her. How does Obama, who claims he is a uniter, thinks he can do this by writing off people that don't agree with him? Hillary has even been able to work with the same people that tried to impeach her husband. It is because she cares more about helping the country than inflating her own ego, unlike B.O. who seems unable to function unless he hears people chanting his name.

When Obama got on Fox news Sunday, all the Hillary supporters complained Obama was legitimizing Fox. Now that Hillary is on O'reily they claim Hillary is the one with courage because Obama only goes to friendly media (of course ignoring the Sunday Fox interview).

tomdavie, people including Newt and Karl Rove believe that Wright is now in Hill's camp, that is the concern every smart politician has to think off. They were asking Obama if he was black enough because his mother is white. So Hill and Bill have convinced Wright to support them and let down his adopted son. That is crual even in politics. But Hill the Bosnian General is unelectable, that is the reality she has to face. But life is always difficult gfor leaders who want to unite and easy for leaders who want to divide. Obama is in the first category which is Great leaders and Hill the Bosnian General is in the second category of leaders. God bless America and God bless Obama.OBAMA08.

X marks the spot -- I didnt see Clinton people do that; if so they were wrong. BUT, when Clinton met with and got an endorsement from Scaiffe, and news reports showed that Fox had been more sympathetic to Clinton, Obama's supporters said that's because she wants to legitimate them and she is a rightwingnut.

Obama's interview on fox was the biggest SOFTBALL LOVEFEST I have seen on fox since Hannity interviewd Mc Cain.

Oreilly is not some softball interviewer. Hillary has the guts to go on there and Obama wont.

Obama doesnt do well when confronted away from the telepromted answers.

Oreilly will press Obama for SPECIFICS. Challenge him on inconsistencies. Obama doesnt do well under those circumstances.

I dont think Obama will ever agree to it.

What should Obama do?

Go on Hannity and Combes and try to fake his way thru that one. Perhaps Hannity will take it easy on Obama because he is an extremely fractured candidate.

Then again. I doubt it.

Obama needs to go back to Obermann and his lovers on MSNBC.

I actually think Clinton supporters are either better educated or have a better grasp of the issues. Obama supporters seem to engage more in personal attacks of Rush, Clinton, McCain, Bush -- anybody.

I guess that, if you can't justify your candidate, you resort to whatever means it takes to make you feel good about him. Still, there's something amiss when a person can't discern or discuss issues.

Anyone who expects to be President needs to speak with even those Americans with whom they strongly disagree if they truly are going to represent the people. I applaud her for having an interview with him as I would hope McCain would do with those at MSNBC. I want to hear each candidate, Obama, Clinon, McCain have to deal with answering questions in an uncomfortable format and not just those who will provide softball questions.

We know that if they cannot even confront opposition news media in this country how do we expect them to deal with hostile foreign governments and hostile foreign press?

Please, at this point it's hard to distinguish MSNBC, CNN, Huffington, and Daily Kos from O'Reilly. They are all so unfair and imbalanced, its ridiculous.

"I'm disappointed that Hillary is going to give legitimancy to this neocon shill. He represents the lowest element of the non-news, conservative, propaganda channel FOX. Shame on you Hillary for pandering to this creep."

tony

Apparently Hillary has more confidence in herself than you do of yourself.

I think Fox News is changing to try and stay relevant. I doubt O'Reilly goes after her much; I think Fox realizes the country is shifting away from the politics they were preaching.

On the other hand, I think it would be silly to presume that any lovefest with Senator Clinton by Fox News would last past the nomination.

It seems she has finally come to peace with the 'vast right wing conspiracy'. Good for her... That is unless this is being done for political expediency, but she is not known to do that, right?

Agree with you Allen...

The interesting thing is that for a large part of this campaign, the media were fixated on how Obama inspires, and that he has a message of "hope" and "change" and that he wants to bring a "new kind of politics." His surrogates and supporters were running around talking about not wanting Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton, and that he represents a return to Camelot. NONE OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH POLICY! But it made him look good, and he did not complain. Now, that nonpolicy stuff is hurting him, all I hear are pleas for policy. Sounds like a flip flop. When Clinton complained that we need to look at specifics and that you govern in prose not poetry - she was called a cynic. Now everyone wants to talk policy all of a sudden. Why?

@X marks the spot:

It seems that supporters on all sides seem to wear blinders when it comes to their candidate.

The election/nomination seems to be slipping once again into "do not vote for X candidate" rather than "here are the reasons to vote for X candidate".

tony

Why?

Because people are coming to realize that the 'hope' Obama uses to inspire is void of substance. People are now looking for a direction and a candidate that can lead the nation through the labyrinth.

Please, like this is some big surprise. The conservatives are the ones donating to her campaign. She made a pact with Rupert Murdoch and Richard Scaife, the big conservative media men, If they will lay off her, she will help them in destroying Obama. And this is the first case where she has ever been true to her word.

@X marks the spot: Absolutely. I tend to think that most Americans don't follow the small stuff. I also think many people have visceral reactions to candidates that dictate their vote; then the process is "intellectualized" to justify the decision. It's also easier for people to vote against someone than "for" someone, as the latter requires a personal investment or commitment.

LOL, this is just a broke Hillary trying to get free airtime. Obama is running a better campaign and doesn't need to sacrifice himself to O'Reilly. Hillary is no longer controlling her campaign and is begging for debates and trying to get as much airtime as she can.

She is one tough cookie. I give her credit for not running away from her problems. (I'm watching Obama running on the TV).

Go HRC!
Obama is trying to backpedal on the Wright issue at last. A little late, Senator.

A lot of voters watch his show, even many Hillary supporters since the liberal media became so biased, so this is great news.

Why are Obama supporters so against Hillary going on O'Riley's show. Of course they use the absolutely worthless excuse of 'free air time' but I think that's just a smokescreen to downplay Clinton's nerve. She's quite adept at using all the techniques available. What's wrong with that? And what would Obama's apologists say f it were him going on O'Riley's show?

Hmmmm

That is what we need as POTUS. A fighter who does not back down be it O'Reilly or a debate anywhere. Obama on the other hand refuses to have another debate. He says we already have 21...yes but not everyone saw those debates. He is just afraid that without the teleprompter and a friendly moderator he will look like a fool again...remember the Pennsylvania debate.

now that hilary is going on the Oriley show, Oprah can have both hers and baracks paster - the rev. wright. wonder how much money she donates to the church.

If Hillary is willing to be interviewed by pompous blowhard Keith Olbermann the night before the PA primary, and now she is willing to be interviewed by Olbermann's alter ego, O'Reilly, well maybe there is some substance to this woman after all. Unlike namby pamby Obama who's too scared to debate.

Hillary is quite adept at using all the techniques available, such as loaning her own money to her campaign to win at all cost. I will watch and see how she responds to the "Screw Um" quote and how she isn't able to keep her husband from screwing her over, time and time again.

No matter what anyone thinks of FOX and O'Reilly, it is a smart move for Hillary to show up. I am to this point a McCain supporter but do give Hillary credit for not ignoring the FOX network because face it, there are a whole lot of us independents out here who consider FOX one of the few that are fair to all politicians. If boht Democrats are smart they would have another debate hosted by the FOX channel and we would see how jurnalists are supposed to act.

I can't wait to see the interview but I have a feeling that if O'Reilly turns up the heat, the satellite connection will experience technical difficulties.

yeah, can you say, we don't have enough money for ad buys so we'll take any interview we can get. I hear she is going to appear on Sesame Street next, maybe the Rush Limbaugh show after that. Why does Senator Clinton support and advocate O'Reilly's views on sexism and sexual harassment in the workplace?

Well of course she'll appear. She'l just lie her way through it, then make up lame excuses about the lies, then blame a right wing conspiracy, then take money form the main 'right wing conspirator'. She's shameless and horrid. Wake up, America, Get rid of pandering , say anything politicians. Vote Barack

These won't be tough questions, they more likely will be stupid ones.

This is politics baby, if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. When two boxers step into the ring, you dont expect them to play patty-cake, they duke it out. That is what politics is all about. Did Obama think it was going to be a bed of roses, the bro can't hang. We certainly don't need no weak link running the country,geez.

Sociopaths don't have back bones. I think a lot of the Hillary supporters have it wrong by mistaking having a back bone for having no conscience. HRC and her 115 I.Q. know just enough about psychology to fool a lot of people.
Isn't it obvious that she's setting up for a run in 2012?

Bill O'Reilly is and idiot and he is going to bring Hillary down to his level. AT least Obama has the decency to stay away from the right wing nutt.

Let me guess, the "me too" candidate Obama will be on there next. I want a leader not a follower!

Hillary can handle anything that o'reily can come up with! She is a very strong , intelligent woman. I am afraid that if obama becomes president we will have a wimp in the white house & in some ways that would be worse than the "cowboy" we have now!

wake up america!!!

If Hillary wins, it's pay back time for those who support Sen. Obama. Hillary's running for presidency is for her own personal interest. We are looking forward for Hillary, Bush and Bush Hillary which go in and out to the white house..People are tired of seeing Bush and Clinton in the political arena. Give a chance to some other politician..

Unlike her spineless counterpart, this woman shows the fortitude of spirit, grit and toughness we need in a Commander in Chief. GO HILLARY!

That's the kind of fighters we need. If Obama is too afraid of debating, go after O'Reilly! I tell ya, this will scare the hell out of BO. He will never agree to any debate again with HRC.

If she wins just think what they can rent out in Washington to supporter's

jay

Now that's an issue we should all worry about. Never mind oil prices, Medicare bankruptcy and the like. Let's focus on your big issue!

Damn, this woman impressess me more and more every day. Bill Clinton was called "bulletproof". I believe now they'll call Hillary "FEARLESS".

I suspect Bill O'Reilly is under strict orders to use kid gloves on Hillary. The GOP wants Obama and Clinton to be neck and neck fighting each other until the convention. If O'Reilly shreds Hillary, she'll look bad and lose many of her low-income male white voters that she needs. O'Reilly also wants to prove his "fair and balanced" claim. In addition, everyone knows Hillary doesn't have a chance of getting nominated. Fox and O'Reilly have nothing to gain from attacking the also-ran here.

You know people, Hillary is convincing me to have my vote. I don't agree with her in many issues, but boy, she has a tenacity and conviction like no one.
She has proven to be a tough, smarter woman. Boy, after all she has been through lately with Richardson's turning his back on her, media asking over and over why she doens't leave her candidacy for Obama, money all going to Obama, etc. She is 60 years old like me.....More power to her, yOU GO GIRL...GO HILLARY!

aaron

Probably, they're way over your head. I can understand your attitude if you can't understand what's being said.

Excellent use of resources Senator Clinton, when the money isn't there use fiscal restraint and find new ways to get your message out. Sounds Presidential to me. Highly commendable. Hillary'08

Expect only the best behavior from O'Reilly. Remember, it's in the best interest of his party to make Hillary the democratic nominee in order to guarantee McCain a victory in November. You think Hillary would agree to interview if there was nothing in it for her?? Oh, please!

Ida is right that Hillary is far and away the one to handle tough situations and think through things....I always though that Fox was doing the white house bidding but in the primary season they have been more realistic about things all this rosy talk about Obama is just that there are too may questions most of which he wont answer... and today saying that wright does not speak for him and he is upset with him etc that just is too little too late you can sit silent for 20 yrs and then all of a sudden say well he doesnt speak for me that is disingenuous you cannot vote for someone soley on the way they make you feel or uncociously because they are attractive to you etc(the former being what most Obama people cite as their devotion to him) it just isnt right and most registered dems that have voted that way all their life know it too

Don't worry. O'Reilly isn't nearly as sleazy as Russet, Mitchell, and Matthews who will do anything to get BO elected. Yes, O'Reilly is a Republican, but Hillary can handle it and I admire her for going on the show.

O'Reilly is pompus perverted bully. Trailing with an impossible chance to win, as she's oftem demonstrated, she'll do anything. But what is this? What good could it possibly do to go on any Faux show? Is she such an egomaniac she thinks they really like her? Doesn't she know they want her to stay in, hoping the infighting will set the Democrates back. They want her to continue negative campaigning to help them put their presidential campaign playbook together. The only viewers on that network that will ever vote for her are the crossover republican dittoheads that do so in open primaries just to try and keep things stirred up. No if she were REALLY tough and true to her word she'd tell O'Reilly to take a flying leap.

There is plenty in it for her fox, primarily a national stage to make her case - since her opponent is trying to buy the nomination by out spending her 3 to 1.

Obama and McCain are tied in electability polls while Senator Clinton beats McCain by 9 points, about the same number she will beat obama by in Indiana. Hillary'08

Clinton should not be legitimizing this right-wing propaganda entertainment show by making an appearance.

AZN

People who are so opposed to FOX have probably never watched it. They're just expressing what they're told to think.

I'll watch,just to see Hillary be honest and articulate to The Fox News buffoon!He won't be able to shout her down,in order to prove himself a fool.

Sen Clinton has constantly surprised people with her gutsy interviews when everyone counted her out she has stayed away from the wright issue since sunday even though the Obamabots are blaming her for it she is now guaranteed a place on the Democratic ticket I bleive and I believe she shouuld be nominated pres but thats just my opinion

Allan J Krueger

If you represent the democrats, you're making a great case to vote against your cause. Your eloquence and through understand of the complexities of all issues is truly underwhelming. More underwhelming that your mastery of the English language.

I tell you Hillary doubters get on this train before it leaves the station you all have said some pretty mean things over the last few months that were baseless!she is as strong as ever!
Hillary08

I am happy to see Hillary breakdown the barriers of politics and media. I am a republican and will be voting for Hillary since she stands for something even though I do not agree with everything. McCain( a60,s democract under republican label) on the other hand will continue the current republican party sell out of the country with Ted Kennedy.

Now Hillary is part of the vast right wing majority!

You its kind of silly all you guys and girls going back and forth but guess what who cares you have already made your minds up along time ago. So just shut up sit back and let BillO spew his crap and let HRC spew her crap since thats about all we are going to get from them when this goes on air

thats right Josh everyone forgets taht it was the Clintons alone that founded the Democratic Leadership council that is alot more moderate than the DNC I have refused to give money to the DNC this year cause the ptomised things in 2006 and its all the same Hillary can fix it BO was running for senate in 2000 and was running for president in 2004 when he got to the us senate if thats not oportunism I dont know what is

Hillary will never pass up an opportunity for free air time. Look for her next on the Rush Limburger show. The broads is broke and is going all out with her stupid husband. Anything goes.

The tide has sure turned in the last couple of weeks. all the obamaphiles are now spewing the hate the claim to denounce. if it isnt good for obama, they call us racists, hate mongers, or far left. this from the most left senator in the nation. sorry obamaphiles, the train has left the station, the boat has sunk, and we cannot help you with buyers remorse.

THats exactly why I took my mom to see Hillary in ashevile last thursday because she is tough and we understand that kinda thing in NC maybe its ok to be a wet noodle in IL but but not here!

You call Oreilly "conservative talk show". Oreilly and his newtowrk are the most racist human on this earth. They are bunch of evil people with legal status.

jimt

it is possible that Hillary sees an openign with Obamas current misfortune but she is gracefull and is not standing on his neck like they trioed to do to her the tide is turning Obamas idea of being gracefull is to neatly roll up his sleaves and take off his tie lol
