Ok it wasn’t like a pop in the jaw, but in a contentious debate Caddell gets so frustrated at Hewitt interrupting him that in the heat of the moment he strikes him on the arm which kinda surprised Hugh:

I hate when people interrupt instead of letting people make their point. I lean Republican, but I actually enjoyed seeing Mr. Caddell give that guy a little poke to get his attention and he's right - both parties are screwed up and people are damn mad about it.

Hugh should have turned to that lying leftist putz Pat Caddell and knocked him right on his ass. That would have shut him up for sure. :-)

I wish Hewitt would have Shut the Heck Up ... So I could have listened to what Pat had to say.

Apparently it makes you think Sarah Palin is "worth watching and supporting"? Can't be sure, no firsthand experience with that kind of madness...

TOO FUNNY,... I like Pat,.. but he IS a DemocRAT none the less.

Hewitt wasn't going to let Pat try and tar the Tea Party Republicans as being the same as the DemocRATS.

Kudos to Hewitt.

Dude you did it too!!! AWESOME...maybe if you guys do it enough(capitalize the R, A and T in Democrat...like this, watch...DemocRAT), it will catch on and they will be forced to change the logo of their party! Wouldn't that be great for our nation?!?

Yeah you tea partiers just keep doin your thing...grabbin the wheel and drunkenly swerving off the road to recovery to the ditch of economic malaise by holding the worlds economy hostage to some arbitrary limit because you dont understand the consequences of your actions, or ANYTHING REALLY...KUDOS TO YOU

The way I see it, when someone is talking, let them finish and then have a response.

It is pretty rude to constantly cut-off, over talk and interrupt someone.

These people are not at a frat house, they are on television debating a issue.

This just demonstrates lack of the knowledge of the rules for debate and respect.

I would LOVE to see liberals so ticked off that they take to the streets for "the revolution". It would all be over in no time, to their great surprise.

From what I saw Hewitt and Hannety are both wrong. For the most part I despise liberals but Caddell was speaking and Hewitt would not allow him to get his statement out. Hewitt was acting like O'Reilly and it was not his show. Caddell from what I have seen in the past is very rational to be a liberal.

Fox didn't replay Hannity's show last night.

I wonder if this is why?

I saw it last night. Hewitt, whom I used to like, was just damned rude. Cadell was trying to make a serious point - that the country is just damned fed up with both parties, and Hewitt was interrupting him constantly and loudly to prevent him from making his point. It was as bad - given the studio context - as anything I ever saw in the '60s of a leftist trying to shout down a conservative speaker. Disgraceful.

Putting aside who had the better argument, I think from strictly a public relations standpoint Mr. Caddell fared better than Mr. Hewitt.

And this comes from someone (me) who has rarely had good things to say about Caddell who more often than not comes across as annoying and arrogant.

Sellouts. Obama and Bush cost America $3T in bribes and payoffs. All we got was a bankrupt nations and fat union bosses. And every industry in America fleeing overseas.

Hugh worked for Nixon and in his heart he's a GOP DC insider. It taints every take he has on national issues. It doesn't surprise me that he's a clueless apologist for the Repubics.

On his radio show he is an exceptional interviewer. He's maddeningly polite to leftists which conceals a real talent for letting them make asses of themselves. But here he is the ass. Caddell is right. He should have just slugged him. It would have done him good.

Rome burns while pundits fiddle. The economy crumbles and to these nitwits, our worthless paper money has absolutely nothing to do with it. It's the other guy's party that is causing all the problems. Overall, these two gentlemen are an essential cog responsible for the our nation's current problems. Pointing fingers everywhere but the right direction. Nobody blames the real culprit; after all, what's not to love about a legalized Ponzi scheme. That is, until the note comes due. Basically, the bank's calling in the note and dopes like these guys want to blame the other guy's "party". Every single one of these hack political operatives, which have graced the nation's political stage since 1913, are to blame. As they continue to pontificate and attempt to assign blame at each other, the insidious scourge continues unabated. That scourge is, hands-down, the federal reserve and the direct federal income tax. As long as we allow fractional reserve banking and fiat money to exist on these shores, our nation and its people will forever be held captive to powerful forces which controls us, and necessarily our leaders too, exactly like compliant, brain-dead marionettes. http://bit.ly/rsazdH

It gets better, Zink: the actual number is not 4 trillion but 15 trillion in cuts needed, according to Bloomberg today.

That is so not true. My husband is involved in our town with politicians on a regular basis mostly dems and though they disagree with many things there is no way you can call them the adjectives you listed above. Do you really think that this country will all think the same way in order to conduct government business? It isn't going to happen. The pendulum swings left, right and center...yes, sometimes too far left and I don't know if it has ever gone too far right but you will never have a country where everyone thinks the same and it is unwise to broadbrush everyone that is a democrat like you did. ( though I will agree that some are as you have described)

He that would be a leader must be a bridge.

Pat Caddell was absolutely right.. Both Political Parties, but specifically talking about the Republican Party, is only concerned with their own selfish greedy arrogant elitist political agenda and party establishment, to hold onto their good old boy country club privilege and power.. and are not representative of the Patriotic Constitutional Conservative American People..

That's why the Tea Party Patriotic People, do not trust the Republican Party, as much as the Obamacratic party.. and that's why they both hate the Tea Party, because the Tea Party is the average ordinary patriotic America citizen, which these elitists do not want to let them take the reins of power and govt. authority, that's why.. but we have news for them.. that's too bad..!! get used to it.!!! As this Nation is, and will always be, if we have anything to say about it.. a Nation "Of the People, By the People, and For the People"..period !!!!

Pat was correct when he said that "BOTH Parties are screwed up". Hewitt sounded like a typical Party hack when he disagreed.

Something tells me Pat and Hugh will not be paired together on the Hannity panel for the foreseeable future... if ever again.
