    Cheney doesn’t care about dead children…the “pro-life” group is comfortable sending soldiers to their deaths, innocent children to their deaths, etc.

    But they do care about stem cells.


  2. Chris says:

    Cheney doesn’t care about dead children!!!!!!!!

    Bush doesn’t care about black people!!!!!

    What can we do?


  3. Jake says:

    There is nothing inconsistent with the pro-life position and just war doctrine. Also, NBC News did spend TWO MINUTES on the clips, as opposed to 10 and 15 seconds by CBS and ABC, right?


  4. hellinabucket says:

    A full 2 minutes for 7 dead children. Less than 30 seconds a kid. Yeah that’s “jazzed”. How many minutes does this sac o’ crap spend talking about his latest book?

    *yawn*


  6. Namtillaku says:

    He later asserted that “we don’t censor the news on The Factor; we tell you the truth about Iraq and everywhere else. But we don’t help the terrorists either, and that separates us from some in the anti-war press.”

    First off, this isn’t a war, it’s an occupation.

    But you do help the terrorists, since 9/11, BushCo is responsible for many times more deaths than were killed during 9/11. They’ve made the country less safe, and will have spent a trillion on murder and mayhem rather than schoolbooks, beds in hospitals, and peace in our bloody time.

    Terrorists? Look in the mirror O-liely.

  8. Jake says:

    For the record, the AUMF is the legal equivalent to a declaration of war. There’s no magic word needed.


  9. Grand Moff Texan says:

    Wow, a bushtard changing the subject from the facts to what he thinks other people feel about it?

    Amazing. I’ve never seen this before!

  10. SKdeA says:

    Bill O’Reilly should be put up against a wall and shot (after trial and conviction of course). He is a propaganda pusher, nothing more. The face of American evil.
    Pay no attention to the troll…


  11. Namtillaku says:

    For the record, Webster’s definition of war is;

    a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations

    and the definition of occupation is;

    the holding and control of an area by a foreign military force

    But one doesn’t need definitions from dictionaries, one simply needs to open ones eyes Jake.

    I second that, Juan.

    Have you checked the “talk radio” thread? The slavering trolls are totally trashing the “libs” in their very “special” way, but they’re just talking to themselves over there. It’s hilarious.

    Except for that pesky fact of oh… its HORRIBLE for American stem cells to die but is PERFECTLY ACCEPTIBLE for innocent Afghan kids to be blown to bits! Hey, they’re JUST AFGHAN kids, they don’t qualify to be real people according to these people.

    Disgusting.

    What exactly makes it ok for us to kill their kids but not vice versa?

    Asking this question does NOT make me a terrorist sympathizer, it makes me a RATIONAL f-ing human being! Not to mention more of a Christian than Bill-O or any other war supporter.


  14. Jake says:

    For the record, if Osama bin Laden was known to be in a house in the U.S. where children were known to be, I would support a cruise missile strike against that house in hopes of killing everyone inside!

    A couple of dead kids don’t matter. All that matters is the furthering of my un-independent political agenda. I own mucho stock in military contracting companies, and my portfolio suffers if we stop the killing.


  15. Buck Fush says:

    BO is an idiot suckup, and the people who watch him are also idiot buttkissers.

    IGNORE THE TROLLS – Debate good, Trolls suck


  16. Juan C says:

    Zooey…I just saw it. They send all the flying monkeys to defend that thread. :D


  17. Dr. Matt says:

    By O’Reilly’s “logic”, Faux news is jazzed about dead white women in Aruba.


  18. Crump's Brother says:

    Juan C,

    if you look at the posts on the talk radio blog, everyone of them is a different person. What the hell is going on?


  19. MsJoanne says:

    TWO minutes for a news story? Please, you barely get any sense of a story in two minutes. Unless you’re talking about Anna Nicole or Paris Hilton, then it takes days. UGH!

    That’s proof that O’Reilly’s audience is ADD challenged, can’t hold focus for more than a few seconds (unless a blond is involved), and can’t think until told when to do so.

    I’d take MSNBC’s jazz over Fox’s jizz anyday. I don’t need O’Reilly comming on my face nightly. GAG ACK BARF!


  20. guns'n'bibles says:

    Oreilly also believes it is un-American to report about American casualities, because this is ebarassing to Pres. Bush and somehow hurts the “War Effort”. Praise Jesus


  21. guns'n'bibles says:

    Bill Oreilly needs to get behind a good black man rapes white woman story, that will cheer him up some


  22. The Joker says:

    We need to kill more Muslim kids so there’s less Jihadists.
    What about Kids killed on 9/11 or other terror attacks.
    How abot Schoolkids in Thailand killed by Jihadists?
    This proves this website is a shrill for Muslims!

    Comment by Crump’s Brother

    Looks to me like one of our resident trolls went off whining to a Wingnut blog and provided a link specifically to that thread. There are a couple thousand comments on a thread that is a day old, and virtually all are rabid “liberals suck and liberal radio will always be a disaster because real people love . . . . blah blah blah.” Best ignored. They’ll go back to their own personal love fest soon enough.


  24. Ben Dover says:

    Does anyone other than his loyal audience really give a rat’s Cheney what O”Lielly says?


  25. Chris says:

    i thought liberals love “jazzed” all over little kids


  26. Jake says:

    ReadyForChange:

    I think innocent Afghan kids qualify as “real people” — even al Qaeda terrorists are “real people” — the just war doctrine simply states that collateral damage should be kept to a minimum. The terrorists, however, are not waging a just war. I will let God decide which of us are real Christians. Next question?
