This exchange between O'Reilly and Letterman brings to mind a liberal meme from these Boards - "I've read it, therefore it is true." Letterman: “I’m not smart enough to debate you point to point on this, but I have the feeling, I have the feeling about 60 percent of what you say is crap. [audience laughter] But I don’t know that for a fact. [more audience applause] Paul Shafer: “60 percent.” Letterman: “60 percent. I'm just spit-balling here.” O’Reilly: “Listen, I respect your opinion. You should respect mine.” Letterman: “Well, ah, I, okay. But I think you’re-” O’Reilly: “Our analysis is based on the best evidence we can get.” Letterman: “Yeah, but I think there’s something, this fair and balanced. I'm not sure that it's, I don't think that you represent an objective viewpoint.” O’Reilly: “Well, you’re going to have to give me an example if you're going to make those claims.” Letterman: “Well I don’t watch your show so that would be impossible.” O’Reilly: “Then why would you come to that conclusion if you don't watch the program?” Letterman: “Because of things that I’ve read, things that I know.” O’Reilly: “Oh come on, you're going to take things that you've read. You know what say about you? Come on. Watch it for a couple, look, watch it for a half hour. You'll get addicted. You'll be a Factor fan, we'll send you a hat.” Letterman: “You’ll send me a hat. Well, send Cindy Sheehan a hat” O’Reilly: “I’ll be happy to.” newsbusters.org
