Video of the Day

May 20, 2009 by Marc Lamont Hill

Today’s video of the day comes from the O’Reilly Factor, where we debated the New York Police Department’s use of “Stop and Frisk” policy, as well as other racial profiling strategies. Thoughts?

That was a pretty good segment in terms of you clearly getting facts across, though Bill willfully ignores them and says he doesn’t know about those studies. Of course his over talking was his only recourse, well done.

So Bill has all the right stats and Marc’s stats have no credibility. Give me a break!

Great points on this one, Marc. I wish Bill would actually let you speak. Does it ever bother you that you can never get a word out?

Co-sign Mario! there isn’t even much to debate about this because O’Reilly dismisses all of Marc’s points…

So B.O. is cool with innocent people being accosted as a preventative measure instead of system that better deals with repeat offenders, amazing. B.O. continues to prove himself be a very subpar and willfully uninformed show host. Why is it so easy for his research staff to come up with random stats that always support his perspective but they never have any opposing stats afterall that would be fair and balanced?

DC, did you see Jessie Ventura get into Hannity’s ass with the facts? haha hilarious. and Michael Savage going at Rush Limbaugh? they are literally falling apart right now…

No Clif but it sounds interesting. I just have a hard time listening to talking head idiots like Hannity and Limabaugh who for all their holier than thou spouting neither one of them have a college degree.

hahaha, on that very show i’m talking about, Hannity tried to claim Obama was not intelligent because he reads from a telepromter. smh. I honestly wonder if it ever hits them how much negative, ignorant, bullish they put into the air everyday…

Clif I just saw the interview on youtube and Ventura completely owned Hannity. He is such a blind Republican it’s pretty laughable how a person can be so willfully ignorant and attempt to pass off said ignorance as fact. Really, the president is smart enough to graduate from an Ivy League university but if he reads from a teleprompter (like every other person that works in television) he’s suddenly not intelligent. Fox News sounds like that silly grade school child who used to be popular but now can’t handle the attention the new kid is getting. So they come up with silly stuff like “ohhhh he always reads from a teleprompter, he must be dumb” lol it’s pretty pathetic.

Bill is delusional as all outdoors. And yeah, Marc, I’m with Shawn. It’s got to be aggravating that he over-talks you (as well as anyone else he disagrees with). You’re better than Me, My friend cuz all that over-talking would make Me snap and go into Wesley Snipes-mode.

it is immensely hard to deflect when someone has material fact. however, bill tries w/ all of his might. as i stated on another site referencing this clip, when people attempt to over talk you it reflects how unconnected they really are. bill’s tactics are his means of survival. he doesn’t know any other way b/c he doesn’t want to. if he actually let the other person talk, people would REALLY see how illogical he is.

I respect you trying to put your point of view out there Marc because I would bitch slap BillO instead of let him talk over me like you do.
Ventura was right on point on Larry King, Hannity and Fox and Friends. The non-tv on-line version was the best. If Faux wants to dismiss torture let them. I don’t care, I won’t watch them. I’d love to see you on Shepard Smith’s hour. He’d let you talk.
And I love the way Glenn Beck was pwned on The View by Whoopie. I just wished we could have a funeral for the GOP and get it over with.

Interesting how Bill treats Dr. Hill like some unknown person when Dr. Hill is NOT in the studio, as opposed to when Dr. Hill IS in the studio right next to Bill, then Bill treats Dr. Hill like he’s his best bud. Weird

Dr. Hill, you should put up that clip of you on Mike & Juliet today. Did you really vote 16-17 times for American Idol? If you have time to do all that, then you have time to put up another video blog for us.

But that was a funny point you made about how America has fallen in love with average-looking people, and now they give all the good crackhead roles to “real” ugly people, instead of making beautiful people look ugly. lmao.

Bill O’Reilly should really be slapped by his mama, his over-talking guests reflects very poorly on the home-training he received as a child, he’s in need of an urgent slap, a back-slap, and another slap from his dear mother if at all possible. LOL

I always like the part where Bill O starts over-talking Dr. Hill. You can use it to pinpoint the exact time at which he begins losing the debate.

The first one to lose his cool always loses – and it’s never Dr. Hill. But the victory is much sweeter when Bill O starts losing it and overtalking, and Dr. Hill has a slight grin on his face.

This time, Bill O started losing major ground at 3:48. Good times.

why do you let Bill cut you off so much …. Demand respect from him. He shows you none!

Marc…great interview, but you’re confusing Bill with the facts. He didn’t bring you on his show to allow you to air your views on this topic…he brought you on the show so that he could lump you as a black intellectual, with the ACLU, liberals, communists, pedophiles, dirt eaters…you get the picture. He deliberately interupts you to break your chain of thought, discounts your scholarship, and brushes off your points as if he were talking to a child, then he tries to bully you into silence as if he’s made your points invalid. My suggestions? Use your intellect and challenge HIS sources. Dimiss HIS information, as the ravings of reich-wing lunitics. Then sit back and watch him squirm.
