Bill O'Reilly..., rips presidential wannabe Donald Trump over Obama 'birther'claims

Re: Bill O'Reilly..., rips presidential wannabe Donald Trump over Obama 'birther'clai

I have no idea what Donald Trump thinks he's doing... Acting like this isn't going to make him soar in the polls, as a lot of Americans are not birthers. I am not sure if he thinks most Americans are ignorant and stupid or what.. but I highly doubt he could relate to the average American in any case.
 
Re: Bill O'Reilly..., rips presidential wannabe Donald Trump over Obama 'birther'clai

I'm not a fan of O'Reilly, but he has, at times, called a spade a spade. Good on him for seeing beyond his partisan blinders.

No, but he did plenty of it to get him there. :)

He likes all the attention he's getting. He's not going to be a serious candidate, but he may run just for the fun and media coverage. He can afford to waste a few million for some jollies.

He always tries to call a spade a spade. He just gets the other suits confused with spades, so alot of the time he is calling a club a spade, or a heart a spade.

Also, you don't get to ****ing make the crickets remark less than an hour into a thread's existence.

Jesus, there's partisan and then there's living in some alternate universe.

And hell, bad as birtherism is polling, its not surprising to hear Fox denouncing it.

So the left can't keep pounding away at the schism between the mainstream Republicans and the fringes of the Tea Party.

Notice I said fringes. I don't agree with them much, and their origin as a national movement with a MM voice wasn't natural, but its real now, they seized their moment.

Now Fox will naturally facilitate the Repub messaging efforts:

Birtherism- good to stir up far righties, but BAD for independents. Knock it off.

"Stay tuned for more of what to believe!"

Half joking.:2wave:

I'm not a big fan of O' Reilly by any stretch and it has seemed to me that he he has gone out of his way at just about every turn to kiss Obama's butt.

I think Trump is making a legitimate point and I have said the same thing a thousand times. Asking a question doesn't make you a conspiracy not. Not asking and believing with no proof does makes you gullible as hell.

If Obama has a real Birth Certificate why has he spent an estimated $2,000,000 to not have answer the questions himself.

It is just curious.

Ya know, just to inject a little unwelcome reality into your zeitgeist: my original birth certificate was lost long before I entered high school. My entire adult life I've never had more than the kind of "official document" Obama produced.

Never been to Kenya. Born in the same hospital as Elvis.

Or maybe not. Who knows for sure.

Maybe you should see how many millions are involved in the no original birth certificate conspiracy.

That would be interesting.

i don't. one of the differences between this president and the past one is that this one actually appreciates the fringe opposition; as it allows him to paint the entire opposition with their brush. So, for example, while Bush would never have gone out and said that Democrats are all nutjobs who think that the US Government pulled off 9/11 (despite the Democrats open love affair with Michael Moore after his movie claiming that came out), Obama enjoys the ability to go out and talk about those people opposing him... you know, the tea partier, birther, types...

the optics of having some loony opponents works in his favor, and he knows that.

So you admit that you understand the methods of propaganda. Therefore your defense of the conservative mediastream is PR hackery.

You are lying when you defend the veracity of Fox and its ilk.

You made a snotty reply to me about a post illustrating manipulation of opinion, encouraging readers to dismiss what i was saying, then give an illustration here of how to lie without actually telling a factual lie.

You are what I refer to as a "meme-herder", those who actively maintain the "optics" for their party on the internet. Now I just need to figure out if you're amateur or pro!:2wave:

I subscribe to the notion that the Donald is not a serious candidate, he is just exercising his narcissistic muscles filling the void at the GOP circus, as the regular acts are still in the dressing room.

There it is. Bill O'Reilly says Obama was born in the US.

But... since the left hates O'Reilly, and thinks everything he says is a lie...

Ah what a troll. I like Papa Bear O'Reilly, though he cracks me up with the asinine things he says sometimes. He's definitely become the least partisan pundit on Fox.

Apparently your real birth certificate is not the one you get to take home with you. However, you can apply to get a copy of your birth certificate.
I have the one that was sent home with me. Now I know that if I lose it, what I get in it's place, won't look like that.

Re: Bill O'Reilly..., rips presidential wannabe Donald Trump over Obama 'birther'clai

I figured it out:

If you aren't absolutely tearing Obama to shreds about what he HAD FOR BREAKFAST, you are "kissing Obama's butt."

Edit: And Shep Smith is pretty level-headed, does he count or is he a "news" guy? (can't keep it straight...)

I was strongly considering it, lmfao.

In any case, I thought this comment from Trump was dumb.
"I have my birth certificate…People have birth certificates. He doesn't have a birth certificate," Trump said of Obama. "Now he may have one, but there is something on that birth certificate - maybe religion. Maybe it says he's a Muslim. I don't know."

I didn't know belief systems were predestined at birth.

Meh, for an Ivy Leaguer, O'Reilly has such a third-grade look at the world. And I'm as conservative as they come. Hannity is no better.

I like Fox when they're not in primetime. In fact, all of the prime time shows on the cable news networks are a waste of time, particularly that freak show of losers going on at MSNBC.
Click to expand...
Your right prime is a waste of time just a lot of cheer leading and taunting from either right or left depending on the channels you watch. Although we should realize realize that Hannity, O'Reilly and all the other from left or right are just opinionated commentators.... that's all. Straight up news of non political nature, be sure to watch the first 30 seconds of the news broadcast;=P
