O’Reilly tells conservatives to stop ‘bashing’ Obama

Well lets be honest reading is hard. I watched his talking points tonight and he sorta laughed at the fact that Rush was like "OMG I AM BILL O'REILLY AND I SUPPORT COMMUNISM", when he wasn't saying that at all. I had a lot of respect for O'Reilly, but I honestly have more for him now saying this on a station where his opinion is probably not that well supported. If only he wasn't such a rude interviewer to certain people I would probably watch him more often.

There is no doubt he is a huge bully and insanely arrogant; Bill, that is. Rush is just huge and insane.

Rush vs. Bill? Rush has gone off the deep end. They are turning on their own now. Crazy. He needs to get fat again and get back on drugs.
 
Ignorance and lack of education? Do you always talk down to people that disagree with you? You really are blinded by an ideology and if you want to really see or hear ignorance here is an example

Well, you were the one who argued prior year taxes unrelated to any future event were current revenue.

You were the one who argued that any state that has a rainy day fund has has a surplus independent of the amounts within the rainy day fund. Therefore, if a state had a deficit of $10 billion as your state is projected to have, you argued that the $8.2 billion rainy day fund meant the state had a net surplus.

And you confused a projected $10 billion deficit as stated by your own comptroller as a surplus.

So, am I really wrong here?

It does seem you have a distorted view as to the role of Govt. Obviously you prefer to re-write history instead of actually reading and understanding history.

Come again? You mean like how I pointed out Texas has been running deficits without its rainy day fund for years?

Your distortion of the Reagan years is a perfect example but there is an entire tread devoted to refuting your anti Reagan claims and there are non partisan sites such as BEA.gov, BLS.gov, U.S. Treasury which refute your statements.

Care to actually back that statement up?

Apparently you don't find it hypocritical to point out your problems with Reagan and Bush but ignore when Obama implements Reagan and Bush policies.

Care to back that statement up? Or have you ignored my many posts where I criticized Obama for being a Bush clone. See Dav about this. He has taken offense to my many arguments calling Obama a Bush clone.

You know, making stuff up because you're too lazy to get the facts isn't helpful.

Both understood you empower people not the govt. to create jobs.

But Reagan and Bush pushed huge amounts of spending which did cause government contracts to expand private payroll. We have a thriving security industry that lives largely off of government contracts right now. Boeing got to where it is because of government contracts. Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and others are in the same position. Republican presidents aside from Bush Sr. have created huge amounts of private sector jobs through public funding. Obama's doing the virtual same thing. .

Both understand the obligations owed to our military thus the VA funding.

Okay..it's still socialism.

Both understand personal responsibility thus provided tax cuts to allow people to need less govt.

Huh. You mean like tax cuts under Obama too?

Stimulus tax savings analyzed by household - Feb. 21, 2009

LOL. I guess when a Republican pushes a tax cut, it's good, but when a Democrat does it, no credit at all.

I know know a few others who are part of the 6% that believe the stimulus plan actually created jobs.

The work crew down town in my financial district seems to suggest that it did. Did it create many? Probably not. But the notion it created none is highly unrealistic.
 
Sounds like a wonderful idea to me.

Further, people convicted of lesser crimes, the ones who are going to be released sooner or later, need to be sentenced not to a certain period of time, but to a set amount of hard labor. You have so may yards of gravel and rocks to move to rebuild this levy. Now, here's your wheelbarrow, and your shovel. When you're finished, your sentence is done. Meanwhile, you stay in a tent surrounded by machine gun nests.

Sounds right to me.

I'm more, or less in agreement with that, but your Librul buddies would have a cow and call it slavery if we made the worthless reprobates work too hard.
 
Reading is fundamental, guy. I supported O'Reilly in my post. Read it again. I think we are supposed to be on the same side here. LOL.
danarhea, I wasn't responding to anyone in particular. I summarized the message that O'Reilly gave and then asked what was wrong with the message.

Thus far, people have been using ad hominem in an attempt to discredit O'Reilly, but I have yet to read a good reason to disagree with O'Reilly's basic message. It is the message, not the person, that is the subject of debate.

That reminds me . . .

If you dislike O'Reilly, but if what he said is true, then are you willing to admit that what he said is true?

I'm liberal and have been advocating exactly such a scenario for decades. I strongly support the death penalty, but short of that, I support hard physical labor for violent/repeat criminals. Cool Hand Luke stuff. Put them on a chain gang and make them earn their keep, or go without.

Joe Arpaio understands. Our message to violent/repeat criminals should be "Root, hog, or die."
 
****** If either O'Reilly , or Limbaugh or Hannity got nailed in some Ultra embarrasment tomorrow with no possible excuse - even if not Criminal - odds are their support would largely vanish in a hearetbeat almost.

****** Those in LOVE with Barack Obama will never cease to worship him and THAT is the difference.

Do you feel the same way about her highness, Sarah Palin? :allhail
 
First time I've agreed with O'Reilly in YEARS.

Neither party has anything "new" even though they claim to. Obama ended up being more of the same.

And many of the GOP want to go back to Bush days, so either way we are screwed. It just depends on who you will vote for in 2012, or more importantly, who will screw you the least.

Don't bother. Conservatives will crow about worshiping President Obama while simultaneously pointing at his dropping approval ratings.

These people have no intention of making sense.

What office is Palin running for? Obama is a disaster and his record shows it.

I lay the blame at the feet of the filibustering, obstructing, sit on their hands GOP myself. Also, at the feet of the ***** democrats who are afraid of election day.

Obama very well might be a disaster but it looks like we won't know for a while. He is unable to do anything to show us, one way or another, what he's about due to the log jam his opposition has created.

He could have the best plan in the world and his opposition would still oppose him.

I ain't no big Obama supporter but I don't blame him for the mess in Washington. Not yet.

Correct me if I am wrong but the GOP did not have the votes to filibuster anything until Scott Brown was elected Senator in MA. Seems like the media forgot that minor detail.

Obama passed his stimulus plan, his GM/Chrysler bailout, but couldn't pass his healthcare plan because of his own party.

I do blame Obama for the mess in Washington as he was part of the Congress during the Bush years that was under the control of Democrats.

We have a govt. of three equal branches but apparently equal means something different to partisans. Let's blame the minority party that doesn't have the votes and ignore "my" own voting record and legislation as if it didn't happen.
