i am sure bono will actually praise certain republican members of our govt. tonight. we will see.
TheBrazilianFly said:This is going to be interesting.... I wonder if O'Reilly likes Bono or not.
Seconds said:Wow! Bono against a extreme right wing conservative.
he's a fool ... who thinks that only his story is true. He doens't allow any form of criticism. Unbelievable... I never saw anything like that on TV.
Teta040 said:When he said that African men couldn't be educated about using condoms becuase having unprotected sex was "a macho thing", that was a baldly racist statement, and it's to Bono's credit that the fury he no doubtless felt didn't even show on his face. I haven't heard anybody else ever say a thing like that.
Teta040 said:And when he said, "We overthrew a vicious dictator in Iraq, Saddam Hussein, and polls show that Iraqis are ungrateful for America's sacrifice. Do you think that if we just went in to Africa and spent all our money the Africans would be grateful?" I wanted to slap him. Maybe he was providing an opening for Bono to say his patented "advertisement" spiel, but Bill really was talking from his heart. This is the kind of simplistic thinking that is so dangerous. I wanted to say, "Well, OF COURSE they'd be ungrateful if overthrowing the govt is the ONLY thing we did. Why did we park tanks outside the OIl Ministry bldg in Baghadad and nothing else? Why did we stand by and allow the place to be looted? And do you think they've forgotten Abu Gharib, or that didn't happen? What kind of fools do you think they are??"
My favorite moment in the interview was when Bill tried to corner him about the U.N. not playing a more aggressive role, and Bono firing back with the UN Fund for combating TB Malaria and AIDS being set up by Kofi Annan. That shut Bill up a moment. You could tell Bill didn't exepct a reply to that. Kofi Annan is a favorite punching bag of the neocons, and while it's true the UN has done poorly, they can't be held accountable for all ills.
