Bill O’Reilly And Anthony Weiner Spar: Health Care, IRS, & “The Truth”
This is how its done. Bill O’Reilly had on NY Congressman Anthony Weiner to discuss federal health care last night, and “the Obama administration trying to expand federal power” (which is how O’Reilly presented the discussion.) The crux of their debate centered on O’Reilly’s assertion that “the IRS will have to enforce ObamaCare.” Weiner repeatedly tried to disabuse O’Reilly’s notion of criminalizing health care, as well as the hosts comments that congressmen claimed to be O’Reilly’s untrue assertions.
While the debate was spirited, and featured a comedic fit of pouting by Weiner, the discourse stayed on topic, remained respectful, and never lowered to name calling nor ad hominem attacks. The only literal short-coming was the five-minute length of the segment. This is the sort of debate and discussion that could go on for an hour, and might actually be a healthy excursion for what some call bitterly divided nation.
