    O'reilly really is a horrible debater.

    I think there were points where Stewart had solid takes, and Bill had solid takes.

    Although the part where Stewart confused deficit with debt was pretty bad for him. All in all, I think that my opinion of Bill improved because he showed up and did that.

    Jon Stewart appears to be 100x smarter on his feet than the idiot O'Really, yet Stewart still made the basic mistake of confusing the debt with the deficit.

    Then again, Stewart has a team of writers feeding him lines on his show.

    But this wasn't his show. And getting the debt and deficit confused is really not that big a deal.

    Yeah, it actually is a pretty big deal for a "political expert" in a debate.

    Whatever, though. I'm sure they both had fun doing it, and it was nice to see people have fun with politics for once. My respect for both men increased, and the reality is that I view Stewart more favorably than OhReally, anyhow.

    I think there's a just a bit of nit picking here. People mix them up all the time. They go hand in hand.

    Watched this earlier today, hilarious!

    It's amazing how many people are with O'Reilly on bullshit mountain too. Actually no, not amazing...sad.

    Expecting to see a bit of awareness or self-deprecating humour out of Bill-O but there was none. He is pompous to the core.

    Thought Stewart's answer to the "save a famous person from fire" question was cheap. His spouse/children aren't famous and don't qualify.

    Not nearly as fun as I was expecting this to be. Bill-O's cringe-inducing attempts at humour and Stewart's forced earnestness were a bit off-putting.

    The elevator platform was really funny.

    O'reilly at 20:33:

    "If he's reelected the President, we'll have a 20 trillion dollar deficit even if he takes all your stuff."

    Sounds like he doesn't know the difference between the debt and the deficit either...

    i have to agree with everyone who said that this was alot crappier than i thought it would be, in their interviews they have done together they had decent chemistry, but this was hard to watch

    No, it actually is an important distinction. It isn't ok to mix them up.

    It's a common mixup. And it really doesn't matter if you talk about the complete debt and the deficit. It's all money owed. One is year by year and the other is the complete debt. You are nit picking.

    Bill O'reilly also was on bullshit mountain when he said that WE would have to pay for Sandra Fluke's Birth control. NOOOOO

    The insurance company has to pay NOT the tax payer. More crap from Bullshit mountain.

    It definitely isn't nitpicking. Are you ok with a trillion dollar deficit every year forever? Are you ok with a trillion dollar debt every year forever? Those are likely very different answers.

    We had it right under Clinton when your guy took a 225 Bil Surplus and flushed it down the toilets of Iraq, Afghanistan, Medicare part D, and the Tax cuts that were all unpaid for.

    Did you also think that Obama won the first debate with Romney?

    What I think was Romney employed (you have to be a political junkie to know) The Gish Gallop. Throw as many bullshit lies at your opponent so that he spends more time countering your argument than making his point. It's well known.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_Gish

    In closing, Romney is a goddamn liar.
