Bill O'Reilly Takes Michele Bachmann to Task

Bill O'Reilly on the Left

Glenn Beck Tells O'Reilly How Shameless Obama Is

Over on Pat Dollard's Blog they agree.  What do you think? It seems to me the president was low-keyed and humble, and the only reason for disparaging what he did is if you suffer from islamophobia and good old American black racism.

Yes, provocative and nutty, as usual.

Bill O'Reilly Lies and Distorts the Shawna Forde Case

David Niewert of Crooks and Liars writes:

Of all the media entities that have ignored the case of Shawna Forde and her killer Minutemen, the silence at Fox News has been the most egregious and noteworthy -- particularly because Bill O'Reilly is fond of criticizing other news organizations for supposedly "ignoring" stories that he has deemed eminently newsworthy (even if, in fact, they haven't really ignored them at all, or it's in fact a story of dubious veracity).

What's your opinion? Isn't it funny that the gun crowd hates Billy O. because he once made some remarks against guns that they didn't like, even though everything else he stands for is in alignment with their beliefs? Or, am I generalizing too much? What do you think?

Glenn and Bill on Terrorists' Rights

Can we all agree at least that this is a fascinating issue?

More on the O'Reilly - Stewart Interview

Liberal Viewer posted this video on the interview.

O'Reilly on the Katrina Gun Confiscations

"They disarmed Americans over some bad weather." I offer this quote to Zorro as another example of what I'm talking about. Gun rights folks are the worst at exaggerating and spinning.

About the video, though, I found it over at the fascinating site of Fait of the World. The host of that site, a self-proclaimed Threeper, had this to say.

In case you anti-freedom fucks, both Right and Left, can’t understand this, the government did not give those rights and cannot take them away. Please don’t attempt to do so. It will be resisted with brute force in this home.

Now that's the tough talk I've come to know and love from these guys. What I don't understand is the need some of them have to continually talk like this. At the mere mention of gun banning or gun confiscation, often when it is not even mentioned, they spout off with this adolescent school-yard rhetoric. It's truly fascinating.

More fascinating still, is that I have to agree with Bill O'Reilly. I never thought the day would come, but in this O'Reilly segment I think he made good points. The so-called Katrina gun confiscations have been so often touted as examples of what the evil government does to poor gun owners, like the little old lady in that video, that many have come to believe their own nonsense.

The truth is what O'Reilly said, there was a state of emergency and the local government was blanketing all citizens in order to control the looters and other criminals. The gun rights folks keep spinning that video in order to distort what really happened.

O'Reilly asked about riots like they had in the 60s. Curfews were implemented, the right to assemble was suspended. Were these also examples of "illegal" measures on the part of the government? I don't think so. And I don't think one has to be a government worshipping sheep to feel that way. One of the purposes of government is to keep order in extreme emergency situations, or is that wrong? Are the rough and rugged individualists going to insist on handling everything themselves in every situation with their home arsenals?

Bill O'Reilly Interviews Jon Stewart

Gawker posted a wonderful breakdown of the interview of Jon Stewart by Bill O'Reilly. I believe when Jon Stewart gets serious he's more than just a worthy opponent for the likes of O'Reilly. What do you think?

A Scott Roeder Supporter

CNN interviewed Rev. Michael Bray, who supports killing abortion doctors. Before we talked about the possible involvement of Bill O'Reilly due to the numerous remarks he'd made on his show about Dr. Tiller. But, Michael Bray is even more direct.

When I Was a Kid

As predicted by the Grand Prince, I'm posting another video as part of the "weapons of mass distraction."

Zombies are Everywhere

As many of the commenters said, references to zombies are practically ubiquitous. But what intrigued me about this video is O'Reilly's attitude towards Beck. What do you think?
