Reich challenges O’Reilly to debate - “person-to-person, like a man-But he doesn’t have the guts"

“It’s like being back in the 1950s,” he said. “This communist witch hunt that has suddenly been launched. The irony is that there are not even many communists left in the world today. It would be one thing if we were back in the 1950s, but there is not a communist threat.

“These right-wingers, like Bill O’Reilly, have nothing else to say, nothing else to do. They don’t have arguments, they don’t have logic, they don’t have any analysis.”


Reich challenged O’Reilly to debate him “person-to-person, like a man.”

“But he doesn’t have the guts to debate,” he added.

1. If O’Reilly said that Reich favored NAFTA, what would Reich's response be?

Reich says good things from time to time.

But it's too bad that with the thousands of economists in the various colleges and universities, there can't be a economic-TV-spokesman who didn't support NAFTA.

Of course, O’Reilly probably made money by also investing in firms that benefited from NAFTA.

Any day now, the trickle down theory should start working. If that wasn't true, one of the candidates would be promising to repeal or modify NAFTA.

2. Person to person, man to mouse, come on O'Reilly, squeak up!?

3. When Tea Partiers Say "Communist," Try This SLAM DUNK Response.

I don't know why people get upset about this.

According to tea partiers, every Democrat is a communist . . . going all the way back to 1933 when FDR set up New Deal Communism. Why argue? Go with it. Tell them they're right, "Damn skippy, I'm a communist."

That would be the same New Deal communism these tea partiers grew up under. The New Deal Communism that made the United States the richest, most powerful nation in history . . . the New Deal Communism that took us to the moon just 36 years after FDR was sworn in.

Let me show you the track record of those New Deal Communist Democrats.

Communist Truman left 2.5 percent unemployment to Eisenhower.
Republican Patriot Eisenhower left recession and 6.5 percent unemployment to Kennedy.
Communist Johnson left 3.5 percent unemployment to Nixon.
Republican Patriot Ford left recession and 7.5 unemployment to Jimmy Carter.
Communist Carter wasn't able to improve much on the recession he inherited . . .
. . . and neither were Republican Patriots Reagan and Bush, who left recession and 7.2 unemployment to Bill Clinton.
Communist Bill Clinton left 4.2 percent unemployment to Dubya . . .
Republican Patriot Dubya left recession and 7.6 percent unemployment to Communist Barack Obama.

No Republican Patriot ever left office with unemployment under 5 % . . . including Reagan. No New Deal Communist ever left office with higher unemployment than they inherited . . . including Jimmy Carter who left the same unemployment he inherited from Ford.
