Not Your Sweetie

Tom Tomorrow has the transcript of the O'Really "Free Speech" demonstration:


O'REILLY: You are mouthing a far left
position that is a marginal position in
this society, which you're entitled to.

GLICK: It's marginal -- right.

O'REILLY: You're entitled to it, all
right, but you're -- you see, even
--I'm sure your beliefs are sincere,
but what upsets me is I don't think
your father would be approving of
this.

GLICK: Well, actually, my father
thought that Bush's presidency was
illegitimate.

O'REILLY: Maybe he did, but...

GLICK: I also didn't think that Bush...

O'REILLY: ... I don't think he'd be
equating this country as a terrorist
nation as you are.

GLICK: Well, I wasn't saying that it
was necessarily like that.

O'REILLY: Yes, you are. You signed...

GLICK: What I'm saying is...

O'REILLY: ... this, and that absolutely
said that.

GLICK: ... is that in -- six months
before the Soviet invasion in
Afghanistan, starting in the Carter
administration and continuing and
escalating while Bush's father was
head of the CIA, we recruited a
hundred thousand radical
mujahadeens to combat a democratic
government in Afghanistan, the
Turaki government.

O'REILLY: All right. I don't want to...

GLICK: Maybe...

O'REILLY: I don't want to debate
world politics with you.

GLICK: Well, why not? This is about
world politics.

O'REILLY: Because, No. 1, I don't
really care what you think.

GLICK: Well, OK.

O'REILLY: You're -- I want to...

GLICK: But you do care because
you...

O'REILLY: No, no. Look...

GLICK: The reason why you care is
because you evoke 9/11...

O'REILLY: Here's why I care.

GLICK: ... to rationalize...

O'REILLY: Here's why I care...

GLICK: Let me finish. You evoke 9/11
to rationalize everything from
domestic plunder to imperialistic
aggression worldwide.

O'REILLY: OK. That's a bunch...

GLICK: You evoke sympathy with the
9/11 families.

O'REILLY: That's a bunch of crap. I've
done more for the 9/11 families by
their own admission -- I've done more
for them than you will ever hope to
do.

GLICK: OK.

O'REILLY: So you keep your mouth
shut when you sit here exploiting
those people.

GLICK: Well, you're not representing
me. You're not representing me.

O'REILLY: And I'd never represent
you. You know why?

GLICK: Why?

O'REILLY: Because you have a
warped view of this world and a
warped view of this country.

GLICK: Well, explain that. Let me give
you an example of a parallel...

O'REILLY: No, I'm not going to debate
this with you, all right.

GLICK: Well, let me give you an
example of parallel experience. On
September 14...

O'REILLY: No, no. Here's -- here's
the...

GLICK: On September 14...

O'REILLY: Here's the record.

GLICK: OK.

O'REILLY: All right. You didn't support
the action against Afghanistan to
remove the Taliban. You were against
it, OK.

GLICK: Why would I want to brutalize
and further punish the people in
Afghanistan...

O'REILLY: Who killed your father!

GLICK: The people in Afghanistan...

O'REILLY: Who killed your father.

GLICK: ... didn't kill my father.

O'REILLY: Sure they did. The al Qaeda
people were trained there.

GLICK: The al Qaeda people? What
about the Afghan people?

O'REILLY: See, I'm more angry about
it than you are!

GLICK: So what about George Bush?

O'REILLY: What about George Bush?
He had nothing to do with it.

GLICK: The director -- senior as
director of the CIA.

O'REILLY: He had nothing to do with
it.

GLICK: So the people that trained a
hundred thousand Mujahadeen who
were...

O'REILLY: Man, I hope your mom isn't
watching this.

GLICK: Well, I hope she is.

O'REILLY: I hope your mother is not
watching this because you -- that's it.
I'm not going to say anymore.

GLICK: OK.

O'REILLY: In respect for your father...

GLICK: On September 14, do you
want to know what I'm doing?

O'REILLY: Shut up! Shut up!

GLICK: Oh, please don't tell me to
shut up.

O'REILLY: As respect -- as respect --
in respect for your father, who was a
Port Authority worker, a fine
American, who got killed
unnecessarily by barbarians...

GLICK: By radical extremists who
were trained by this government...

O'REILLY: Out of respect for him...

GLICK: ... not the people of America.

O'REILLY: ... I'm not going to...

GLICK: ... The people of the ruling
class, the small minority.

O'REILLY: Cut his mic. I'm not going to
dress you down anymore, out of
respect for your father.

We will be back in a moment with
more of THE FACTOR.

GLICK: That means we're done?

O'REILLY: We're done.

The last few seconds of that exchange were really
something to watch. I don't think I've ever seen a
shouting head actually tell his guest to "Shut up!
Shut up!" or to tell his producer to "cut his mic."
