TV Would You Pay $5 to Watch Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly Eviscerate Each Other?
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 12:06 PM
Calling all people who like to watch other people fight each other! Liberal knee-jerker Jon Stewart and conservative toothless bulldog Bill O'Reilly are planning on mixing it up again—though this time you'll have to pay to watch their verbal slapfight. Called "The Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium: O'Reilly vs. Stewart 2012," the two will be debating each other in a live-streamed event at George Washington University on Oct 6 at 8 pm ET. And it will only cost you $4.95 to watch it. IS THIS SOMETHING YOU WOULD WANT TO DO? (If so, you can pre-order the debate here, and rest somewhat assured that much of the money is going to "a number of charities.") OR IS THIS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO? Check out the trailer and let's vote!

I have no doubt that Jon can and will eviscerate Bill.
Unfortunately, I imagine that when Bill fails in a format he can't bully effectively, Jon will graciously commit seppuku with false equivalences.

This should be entertaining. Bill almost acts normal whenever he speaks with Jon, but the 5-7 minute segments we usually get is them agreeing to disagree with each others' differences.
Jon Stewart has shown to have an incredible knack for debating loud mouthed pundits (on both sides) and I will definitely be watching this.

Jon is better at impromptu debates when he can surprise people who don't expect him to be articulate.
Bill knows Jon too well. They're cordial with each other. He's not going to step in any traps. I don't think a debate between the two would be all that interesting.

I'll catch it on YouTube when it invariably gets uploaded by six-hundred people hoping to drive the visibility of their otherwise shitty channels.

Sorry, if I wanted to watch Jon Stewart give the rest of the country the idea that liberals and conservatives are 'not so different, you and I' I wouldn't have abandoned him and his bullshit false-equivalence halfway through the second Bush administration.
Get Stephen Colbert and I'd consider watching a pirated stream off usenet.

I'd pay to watch it, but the people putting shit like this out need to figure out that watching it live is not actually a plus. Hopefully if I pay my $5, I get to watch it whenever I want, instead of having to schedule it like I was gathering the family around the TV set in the 1950's.

I adore Jon Stewart and will watch him in the Debbie Reynolds role performing Singing in the Rain.
He mentioned last night that his proceeds were going to charity, but Jon hinted that Bill O'Reilly's keeping his half. Is that true?

I would rather have a root canal than pay to see the pustulating Bill O'Reilly. That's like paying to have someone piss on my brain. No thanks.

@1: So true. Stewart gives yet another sloppy blowjob to "moderates" as if any exist to convince. He belongs with the conservadems in the DLC.
