Well the calling of the assasination of a leader worked out so well for Pat Robertson.
But yeah Bill, that’s a great idea. Why don’t we kill EVERYONE who doesn’t want to help out with the Iraq war. Let’s kill the more than half of Americans who are against it, let’s bomb the hell out of the hudreds of countries who don’t support the war.
Wait a second, I don’t see YOU helping out with the war. You’re not over there serving, you’re not even over there on something like a USO tour. You’ve done NOTHING to help out!
Are you asking for people to come after you, Bill?
October 4th, 2005 at 11:43 pmSee? I told you he was nuts! He, like, Pat Robertson are so insanely egocentric they think they should be able to decide who lives and who dies.
October 4th, 2005 at 11:55 pmThis is getting to be frighteningly popular foreign policy call. How have we as a nation arrived at a point where “dead-or-alive” global gangsterism is part of the public discussion? Granted, we’ve been whacking politically inconvenient characters since before the ink was dry on the Declaration of Independence, but we used to at least feign ignorance or shock when the CIA got caught executing a contract kill. For Chrissake, this may be the dirty little secret of all “enlightened” governments, but even Don Corleone had the decency to use a euphemism. O’Reilly, as always, makes the mistake of thinking that talking like a hard-ass makes him seem less like a dumb-ass.
October 4th, 2005 at 11:59 pmHe’s taking his cues from the Bush doctrine of ‘You’re either with us or against us”, and “A simple up or down vote”, etc… everything has to be black and white with these people… unless of course they are trying to defend themselves. All of a sudden their speaking VOLUMES of information, stuttering after every word.
It’s almost like religion too (which when talking about Christianity, we all know this Administration claims to be such a strong supporter of). Either believe in God and give your soul to Jesus, or burn in hell. Ignore the thousands of discrepencies in the Bible, just have FAITH! Just have faith that there is a God even though we have no proof… just have faith that there are WMD in Iraq, and that we can win the war.
October 5th, 2005 at 12:59 amhey man. if your party’s gonna do money-laundering, you’ve pretty much gotta do extortion, right?
October 5th, 2005 at 1:54 amAfter the way O’rally took down Canada and France by decree, I’ll bet al-Assad is darned worried.
October 5th, 2005 at 3:00 amO’Reilly must be in trouble with ratings. And TP plays their part by giving him threads…
October 5th, 2005 at 6:33 amAssad reminds me of Dave Gahan.
October 5th, 2005 at 6:34 amI have never been able to watch this O Riley nut bag, I have read a few of his colums in the paper though. Most of the time it was like reading the posts of the trolls. Sad excuse of a man and in the same gutter with Limbaugh and Pat Robertson..Why don’t they get booted off the air.? No wonder the world hates us with these guys screaming their hate and wanting to kill…..Blessings
October 5th, 2005 at 9:08 amBill O’Reilly reminds me of the blustering Senator in the original make of The Manchurian Candidate–the one whose campaign was based on the number of “card carrying Communists” in America. I always believed the character was based on Joe McCarthy–I think McCarthy must have been O’Reilly’s mentor–even though he probably was just a kid at the time. Kid as in “Billie Goat”.
October 5th, 2005 at 9:18 amAre these people insane?
I can handle Bush’s threat to the US Military against our own citizens. A sign of his mental problems but we could deal this it.
I’m more worried about the dangers to our troops, and to our safety here at home, from these ‘armchair’ warriors. They are playing with our lives.
Let’s imagine how our country looks to someone in the Middle East who might be willing to do a suicide bomb attack against our troops or even to come in through Mexico and blow up a football stadium or something.

The criminal media in the US should be up on Nuremburg type trials for their conduct. They did it for Hitler’s vile propaganda pushers.

PS – Will Bush’s new judges recuse themselves when we get control of the government again?
October 5th, 2005 at 9:33 amORally would have his grandmother assasinated if it would improve his rating by 10 points.
October 5th, 2005 at 10:06 am#4, is the religion bashing really necessary? Geez, grow up
October 5th, 2005 at 10:19 amHere you guys go again, attacking another rightwing mouthpiece for my republican party. No wonder the trolls are no where to be found, with you guys pointing out that Bill O’Reilly is a blowhard and a tough-talking, dumbassed dipstick, always shooting his mouth off in an attempt to raise his ratings. But the kicker that I find utterly distasteful is pointing out how he is just like Pat Robertson.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but nothing could be further from the truth. Pat Robertson served in the military, even went to Korea while Bill guarded the homefront with the use at least three deferments during the Vietnam War. Plus, Pat is a religious lout who wouldn’t say shit if he had a mouthful, while Bill is just a plain old lout with a sexual problem.
October 5th, 2005 at 10:25 ampointing out inconsistencies in the bible isn’t religion bashing.
Ya know, when dealing with this administration, speaking with reguards to fundie christianity shouldn’t be something we can’t discuss. They DO want to make it (their peculiar version of christianity) the de facto religion of state. Denial won’t help us.
October 5th, 2005 at 10:29 amTO MagnumDM:
October 5th, 2005 at 10:56 am“Thousands Of Discrepancies ” come on now, really I have reason to believe that you’re much smarter than that statement would seem to imply.to prove that the Bible is true I offer prophecies that said in writing thousands of years before they took place; example must take of Israel and how itfor came about after a total dispersion of the Jewish people.
Concerning Mr. O.Wiley I stand in total agreement with you, this man is out of bounds clearly voicing ideas that sensible men refused to entertain.
Now permit me,since I’m sure you think I’m crazy anyway, to make a wild prediction; I predict that Mr. Bush will attack either Syria or Iran before next year’s midterm elections!
BO is monkeyf*ck insane.
October 5th, 2005 at 11:08 am… thus continues to speak the “culture of life” crowd.
Death is apparently good. Just as long as its not one of their own. And manybe if they could make a little money off it too. :-(
October 5th, 2005 at 11:42 am#17, Equating Christianity with what this administration and its fundie supports go around doing and saying is pretty insulting to say the least.
“It’s almost like religion too (which when talking about Christianity, we all know this Administration claims to be such a strong supporter of). Either believe in God and give your soul to Jesus, or burn in hell. Ignore the thousands of discrepencies in the Bible, just have FAITH! Just have faith that there is a God even though we have no proof… just have faith that there are WMD in Iraq, and that we can win the war.”
He isn’t just saying there are inconsistencies, he’s equating the Bible with the outright lies of this administration. Is that religion bashing? Yes.
October 5th, 2005 at 12:32 pmThat wasn’t my take on it, that was yours. Don’t try to make me look through your eyes, just try to get em to understand you.
This administrations & it’s supporters verion of christianity is perverted. jesus was talking about these guys when he was critisizing Cesar/Rome.
I was raised in a christian church that emphisized the love aspect. i don’t think our precher ever gave a sermon about hell. So my take is different than many. I can’t currently call myself christian as I believe in life outside our solar system, reincarnation, and I don’t believe in hell. I still believe in the message of jesus I was taught, just with my own twist to it.
October 5th, 2005 at 12:42 pm#22, and thats all completely irrelevant to my point.
The way he worded his post was to imply that Christianity is nothing but lies, from any common understanding of the English language that is the case.
October 5th, 2005 at 1:03 pmApparently you like to argue today. Go ahead. I was just telling you my impression which you don’t share.
Take a chill pill….
October 5th, 2005 at 2:25 pmThis is an opportunity for all the chicken-hawks who dodged the Vietnam war. Let Chicken-hawk O’Reilly carry out his own suggestion, make up for the draft dodging he did during the Vietnam era. One of the class A chicken-Hawks,
