O’Reilly Jokes About Waterboarding His Staff In Order To Identify Who Leaked Jackson’s Comments
O’Reilly Jokes About Waterboarding His Staff In Order To Identify Who Leaked Jackson’s Comments
Last week, the media went into a frenzy after Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly released footage of Rev. Jesse Jackson criticizing Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) before an interview. Yesterday, TV Newser released a leaked portion of the Jackson transcript that O’Reilly and Fox News had chosen to not make public.
Appearing on Shepard Smith’s Fox News show yesterday, O’Reilly explained that he “held it back” because “it was not relevant to the general subject — one civil rights leader disparaging another, over policy.” Towards the end of the interview, Smith asked O’Reilly, “do we know leaked it?” “No,” replied O’Reilly, adding that he would find out because he had “the waterboard over here”:
O’REILLY: So, we held it back, and then, some weasel got the whole thing, leaked it out to the internet, and here we are.
SMITH: Do we know who leaked it and what’s happened to that person?
O’REILLY: No, but I have the waterboard over here, and we have a couple of people that, you know, we’ll dunk. We’ll find out.
When Smith said, “we don’t allow torture here,” O’Reilly replied, “well, you talk to some of my guests.” Watch it:
It’s not surprising that O’Reilly would so casually joke about using waterboarding as an interrogation technique. In February, O’Reilly defended the Bush administration’s use of the tactic by claiming that “it’s not fatal” and “it doesn’t leave a lasting physical injury.”
O’Reilly doesn’t know what he’s talking about when he downplays the effects of waterboarding. In 2007, former Navy survival instructor Malcolm Nance described waterboarding to Congress, saying “It is an overwhelming experience that induces horror and triggers frantic survival instincts.” Nance concluded of his experience being waterboarded, “I was being tortured.”

July 17th, 2008 at 1:37 pmO’Reilly doesn’t know what he’s talking about when he downplays the effects of waterboarding.
Unless the subject is sexual harassment lawsuits or the Paris Business Review, one could save time and just shorten the above-quoted statement to its first seven words:
“O’Reilly doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

I know this story is a few days old. But I have to comment on the 15 year old Canadian citizen who is being detained in GITMO who is complaining he should be allowed to go home.
I am sure the Liberals jumped all over this and pulled out their “I AM ASHAMED TO BE AN AMERICAN” paper bags to put over their heads.
This 15 year old was caught killing one of our soldiers. That is why he is in GITMO. His defense lawyers released a video of him being questioned by a man at GITMO. You can hear the man asking this 15 year old how he is doing, did he want a hamburger…he wanted to make sure he was getting adequate medical treatment..etc.
I never saw one comment from any liberal who cared at all about the soldier that was killed by this 15 year old.
Liberals are so deranged, they will always side with the enemy over our forces.
It is sad what this segment of our society has produced.
This is from one of the local wingnuts on another site. He’s typical of the reichwing, right down the crappy spelling.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:43 pmOh puh-lease, “truther” (now, that’s funny!!) - Billdo is a salacious gossipmonger who lies for money.
That’s all the credit he gets from me.
And Jesse Jackson was freakin’ STUPID to go on FUX Noose and expect them to behave with ethics or integrity.

If they are so thoroughly entertained by this bald-headed bore , they should watch Animal Planet 24/7 ; the monkey shit fights in the wild are far more enjoyable , as well as much more informative and meaningful…………
July 17th, 2008 at 1:46 pmAnd recently Christopher Hitchens actually had the guts to experience water-boarding–twice actually, to see if it might not be as bad as the first time–and concluded emphatically that it is TORTURE!
It’s Ironic that Hitchens had to be tortured before admitting the truth, so one might argue that it actually ‘worked’–except that the information forced out of Hitchens was merely a confirmation of what rational people already knew, it wasn’t new or valuable information to anyone except Hitchens himself.

July 17th, 2008 at 1:51 pmIt is funny that usually a guest on billo’s ‘no spin’ charade gets their mic turned OFF, but it was left on for Jesse to spew his crapola. I wonder how much coaxing or baiting he was given?
And, other than the blue haired demographics, his ratings are still dropping. After November, his only audience will be the 23%ers who still won’t accept that they have a BLACK leader with intelligence and some human compassion.

MSM outlets usually look for first hand reports BEFORE they run with a story. They usually don’t run the story and then hope for someone to “step forward.” Here, it looks like nobody has stepped forward with a first hand account out of the large audience that allegedly heard this joke.

The ape/rape joke was given in front of a group of citizens in Arizona and was retold by many women who were there and were unahppy about it while campaigning for the senate. There are plenty of newspaper reports on it but you pathetic rethugs can just close your eyes and pretend it never happened.

Give me just one name of an actual first hand eye-witness, Shayme. Un-named “many women who were there” just doesn’t cut it. There was a big audience, so surely you can come up with one, that is if the story is true. Can you, Shayme?

Because it’s more than likely an authorized leak. FOX didn’t want to air the N-word and get blowback instead of embarrassing Jackson and Obama, so they leaked the less racially charged part of the eavesdropping, and “leaked” this to an internet so they can feign shock, shock I tell you, at the use of the word without being complicit.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:57 pmOops, that should be “aired the less racially charged…” I really need to start proofreading my posts.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:01 pmIt’s weird…even though I paid $400 for a life-long subscription to The Paris Business Review after Bill O’ recommended it, I haven’t received one damn issue since! Stupid Frenchies!
July 17th, 2008 at 2:02 pmThis is exactly the state of acceptance of torture techniques sought by the bush administration: make it something that surrogates will routinely joke about, hey no big deal ha ha you better watch out, I’m gonna waterboard you.
I guess it wasn’t such a funny thing in WW2, when we executed japanese officers for waterboarding GI’s.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:03 pmSo, we held it back, and then, some weasel got the whole thing, leaked it out to the internet, and here we are.
Anyone want to bet the “weasel” was Bill O’Reilly. Fox was taking a lot of flack for releasing what they did since they were essentially eavesdropping. I’m betting that Fox told O’Reilly to not release the rest of the tape and this was his way of getting it out there.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:03 pmBobwurst, spot on, dude.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:04 pmtroller21 wants us ti thank Billdo. For the last several days Billdo has been overtly hinting at additional footage in his posession that could ruin Jesse Jackson’s career if it was let out. The salacious teasing by Billdo hyped this nonsense non-issue into a potential bombshell. This isn’t the first time that FAUX News has “accidentally” left the mikes rolling and recording while guests are not on camera. Thank Billdo?? F#CK BILLDO and F#CK troller21!!

Are you saying that O’Reilly didn’t want that leaked. What world do you live in? Of course O’Reilly wanted it out there. I’m betting he was the leaker because Fox told him not to release any more of the tape.

Who gave Jesse Jackson a free pass? You just have to make sh!t up, don’t you?
July 17th, 2008 at 2:24 pmThe troll acts like it doesn’t realize that to Billdo this issue means two things. Viewership (which translates to money) and knocking a Democrat (see Ayles, Murdoch, Billdo etal at that fetid network)
As to Rev. Jackson, like an earlier poster pointed out it seems alien to the Right that people on the Left think for themselves and aren’t afraid to question or speak out about their own when they don’t agree.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:25 pmBilldo’s a joke.

July 17th, 2008 at 2:28 pmWho is giving Jackson a free pass? We think anybody who goes on Fox News gets what they deserve and should know better. And Jackson is just like Nader, on the RNC payroll to ruin elections for Democrats. But you Rethugs acting like you care about anybody using that word is truly entertaining. Isn’t the Republican motto “If you’re white you’re right.”

July 17th, 2008 at 2:35 pmLet me guess, the person who wrote the original script for ‘Kill Bill’ worked for O’Reilly…
July 17th, 2008 at 2:46 pmO’Reilly & Jackson are an awful lot alike when you think about it.
-They’re both racists
-They both think they’re good looking
-They both think they’re intelligent
-They both think they’re the center of the Universe
-They both think of themselves before anyone else.
-They both lie a lot
-More people dislike than like them
-They’re both media whores
-They’re both falling out of grace with the general public
Two peas in a pod, in my estimation…
July 17th, 2008 at 2:52 pmAppearing on Shepard Smith’s Fox News show yesterday, O’Reilly explained…

I would only give O’Reilly credit if he had not published any of the private conversation they recorded without the knowledge of the people they were eavesdropping on. To say that what Billo and Fox did was sleazy would be being charitable.

I see TrickleDick is falling back on the old right-wing canard that viewership means something other than simple entertainment value.
Often when pulling this stunt, the wingnut tries to equate viewership with journalistic integrity, or intelligence, or truthfulness.
This is the first time I’ve seen one try to connect wingnut political porn to “humor”.
Interesting tactic.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:29 pmwell, cripple dick, i agree with one thing you said about bill o’lielly and his viewers and I quote, “But what do his viewers know, they must all be idiots right?”. Although I would have added in the majority of them are over 80 and housebound.

July 17th, 2008 at 4:07 pmThere is no glee in applying simple logic. Face it on this subject those who buy the torture argument are just pwned as usual.
interestingly enough, truther 21, wasn’t it grampy McLame who voted in favor of torture recently in lockstep with your tin idol in the white house? Judging from his vote, apparently being tortured didn’t have much of an effect on grampy. Or, perhaps, he liked it.
July 17th, 2008 at 4:07 pmtruther21:
July 17th, 2008 at 4:12 pmIt is spelled dbadass and Vietnam. Typos happen but names are important. So can you point to any place where I ever expressed any glee for Mr McCain’s suffering. This is about the question of the effectiveness of torture. Nothing more/Nothing less. Don’t enter a game in which you lack the skills needed to be successful
Unclear on the Concept:
The point, troller21, is that the Right supports torture despite it’s utter inability to produce useful information.
McCain gave information to his captors, but he says it was useless information..
Therefore the Right has two choices:
either McCain is lying, and torture works
or
McCain is telling the truth and torture is useless and counterproductive.
But the Right, as is its habit, ignores reality and wants to have it both ways:
McCain is telling the truth BUT torture works.
I know it’s hard for you to follow, but when people bring up McCain in the context of torture, it’s because he knows it doesn’t work, he was against it for a long time, and then he flip-flopped and now supports it.
By the way, just because your fake ID say you’re 21 doesn’t mean it’s so.
You’re still only 13, even if you can grow a mustache.
July 17th, 2008 at 4:13 pmMcCain has repeatedly said that he is against torture and against waterboarding
Flipflop in 3..2..1
July 17th, 2008 at 4:14 pmtruther21
I think what you meant to say in regard to grampy voting for torture is, ” he was against torutre before he was for it”.
For the rest of us, the issue is cut and dried: he voted against legislation banning waterboarding. plain and simple

July 17th, 2008 at 4:24 pmIs it not funny that, with all that’s going wrong in our country, the trolls save so much ire to defend a useless turd like Bill0? Hello? He gets an hour a night to defend his asinine statements. And once in a great while he’ll, sort of, admit to making mistakes. I have to give him that much credit.
As for Jesse Jackson? I think he’s a predatory lightweight who has done more harm to his alleged causes than good. He appears to have done more to hold back African Americans than advance them. It’s just my opinion but I think Jesse would have faded into obscurity in 1968 if he had not been splattered with MLK’s blood.
And Tripplekick? I have a suggestion. Send an email to the TP staff that goes something like:
“Dear TP”.
I think a story about Jesse Jackson’s alleged use of the N-word would make a good thread. Do you folks have any additional insight on this issue?”
Thanx for your time etc.
And until such time as TP makes a statement about Rev. Jackson? It’s idiotic to assign them a position which mirrors your own. That’s called projection. It’s unproductive and unhealthy. Here’s a link to an online book that tells all about it. You’re welcome.

We’ll try, dbadass, but you know it’s tricky; if they followed the rules of standard logic and reality, we could smack ‘em back with facts.
But they’re unconventional. They embrace non-logic and treat opinion the same as we treat facts.
Nevertheless, we’ll try to stay strong in your absence.

No - you’re thinking of Stephen Colbert, who won the Peabody for parodying O’Reilly. I suppose one could argue that O’Reilly won the Peabody by proxy, but I won’t.

upside,
I’m not a Republican. Please, don’t be a simpleton who is reduced to left vs. right party bashing. I just think the hysteria over this non-torture/torture is ridiculously out of proportion to the amount of (non)outrage expressed towards the terrorists by some leftwing communities.

July 17th, 2008 at 4:30 pmJust friendly coaching, you may want to be more specific rather than employ the vagueness you display in # 102
I’d be careful of “untrue”.

Thanks Pete. You’re a gentleman and a scholar.
July 17th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Nah. Just getting old, and curious as Hell. And I don’t think we’ve tangled when I’m angry. I get MUCH less polite.
July 17th, 2008 at 4:40 pmHmmm. It appears that these trolls don’t think it’s acceptable to smear a veteran who served his country in Vietnam…
So, trollies, if that’s true, please explain why it was acceptable for reichwing to smear John Kerry and denigrate *his* service to this country during the 2004 presidential campaign.
I’ll be waiting.

I think the swift boat vets for truth were successful and viewed as credible simply because they actually served with John Kerry, therefore their criticism appeared to be legitimate rather than partisan. Not to mention that Kerry himself was accusing his own countrymen of atrocities and throwing his medals over fences and what not.
You need to do some reading outside the wingnut sources. Just like truther21, your regurgitation of the Swift Boat lies reveals a lack of attention. You can start here.
And specifically here.
July 17th, 2008 at 5:23 pmCheese and crackers! John Kerry isn’t running either. You folks really should learn to concentrate on McPander Bear. He’s up for election and, judging by the latest Reuters/Zogby numbers, he’s slipping. Badly.
And the whole SBV thing was an amateurish smear attempt. It was well timed and regrettably effective, but that source has been burned. Over and over again. Claims of channeling Martin Luther would hold more credibility.

There’s no telling just how many American lives were lost or how many POW’s stays were extended because of John Kerry’s lies.
There’s no telling because there weren’t any. However, how many lives were saved because the young John Kerry had the intergrity to stand up and speak truth to power rather than parrot the warmonger line? It’s a shame he lost that courage during his time in DC, otherwise, he’d be president now, not withstanding the switftboat liars.

You see how the trolls hang onto even the most documented untruth of the last election? You see how they re-cycle their lies, repackage them for later use - even though they have been debunked and laid bare. Proven BS, but here are our trolls trying once again. Silly trolls.
You see how their minds work? Throw enough stuff out there and someone, somewhere will believe it. Normally the believers are the Low Information Voters (LIV), but to them, that is ok too.
To the right side, lies have absolutely no expiration date.
July 17th, 2008 at 6:52 pmWhen they do the waterboarding, I just hope they “DO IT LIVE, don’t write anything, and DO IT LIVE!”

Actually, they never served on the same boat at the same time.
Not to mention that Kerry himself was accusing his own countrymen of atrocities and throwing his medals over fences and what not.
And My Lai never happened? Open your eyes and crack a history book.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:40 pmTypical O’lielly cause celebre since his target audience is the 80 plus set. His grandma viewers dried up years ago thus, they don’t care and his ocotogenarian grandpas see themselves as 20 year old casanovas chasing granny around in his walker all fueled up on viagra.
