Reading the transcript:
On the "lie": pretty much a draw, but more in O's favor. Moore could have done better defending his assertions.
On removing a dictator: MM pretty much wins that one. O'Reilly could have better defended his position.
On afghanistan: MM gets pwned: "M: That?s why the Taliban are still killing our soldiers there", then, Taliban: "M: No, unless it is a threat to us." (how exactly would you puruse Osama without taking down the Taliban??) then on Hitler: "M: I wouldn?t have even allowed him to come to power." by saying "well I would have done WWI better". pah-lease.
On Saddam: MM gets pwned: "O: Look, if you were running he would still be sitting there. M: How do you know that?" well because you just said that you would have taken down Hitler right?
On "rising up": MM gets pwned: "O: You give the people some kind of self-determination, which they never would have had under Saddam?
M: Why didn?t they rise up?
O: Because they couldn?t, it was a Gestapo-led place where they got their heads cut off?
M: well that?s true in many countries throughout the world__"
On the "sacrifice a child": Stupid argument, draw. You can't argue about sacrifice to a pacifist.
Overall, I think both of them could have done a much better job defending their positions, and attacking the others.
My fair and balanced assessment
