O’Reilly on Russia: ‘World War III’ is ‘on the horizon’

Russian President Dmitri Medvedev today said he agreed to a cease-fire in Georgia, discrediting many neoconservatives who were predicting war with Russia. On his radio show this afternoon, however, Bill O’Reilly still claimed that “World War III” is “on the horizon”:

But the message is sent: I, Vladimir Putin, and Russia can do whatever we want to do, and you can’t stop us because we have the oil. Now, its the same thing with Iran. Who props up Iran? Russia. Why? Because Russia wants the United States weakened. And Russia knows that Iran wants to dominate the oil in the Gulf. So Russia sells Iran weapons, blocks any sanctions against them, and he’s playing the double game. Putin is a real villain. Now, this is World War III on the horizon, ladies and gentlemen.

Listen here:


“It’s not actually true that the ‘lessons of Munich‘ are applicable to every single event in the world,” notes Matt Yglesias.

    Another war that cowardly draft dodger will avoid


  2. stewarjt says:

    Holy crap! I’m having deja vu. I thought I commented on this post this afternoon!


  3. Zooey says:

    Hey, what happened to my comment? No fair.

    It was true genius…. **sniff**


  4. Zooey says:

    Heh — there are TWO Billo posts. :D


  5. blue state bob says:

    Zooey:

    That’s two Loofah boys too many


  6. Zooey says:

    That’s funny blue state bob, my comment on the now missing second Billo thread speculated on loofahs and falafels. :)


  7. sectionop92 says:

    Maybe Billo sent his stalker producers to computer camp this summer to wage cyber-warfare against the “Marxist leftwing” websites. Because our opinions are the C4 explosives to their brick and mortar neocon foundations.


  8. Gregor Samsa says:

    Ah, so that’s what happened…


  9. Gregor Samsa says:

    Anyway, what I wanted to post earlier but couldn’t is this:

    Because Russia wants the United States weakened. And Russia knows that Iran wants to dominate the oil in the Gulf.

    One trait that all reichwingers have, is the ability to read other people’s minds.

    In O’Reilly’s case, it’s so powerful, he can tell not only what a whole country (Russia) knows, but what Russia knows about Iran’s intentions. See? Simply amazing.

    Now, this would be quite the feat if only reichwingers had better reading comprehension skills…

    Now, this is World War III on the horizon, ladies and gentlemen.

    And as long as it stays there, on the horizon, we will never reach it.

    Of course, I assume he didn’t mean it that way.


  11. sectionop92 says:

    How can there be a horizon? I thought Billo believed in Sherri Shepherd’s “Flat Earth, we are the center of God’s universe” B.S. since they are both of the same, desperate/needy, don’t-think-for-yourself club that is basically the Dilluminati.

    Gregor Samsa:

    Nice attempt at discrediting Mr. O’Reilly, but you seem to have missed your mark. All you did was claim that Mr. O’Reilly think he can read minds. He never said he could. He bases his opinions off of facts and actual events; he doesn’t just make stuff up. But that’s not the real issue. The real issue is the situation in Georgia. You have made it subordinate to your character smearing of Mr. O’Reilly when you could be a little more constructive by explaining, with evidence, how and why you think he is wrong.


  13. dbadass says:

    Don’t kid yourself. O’Reilly is just a delivery device for shit written by writers to try to get viewrs. They just come up with goofball shit that will agitate the freaks that seek out that sort of shit. O’Reilly must likely doesn’t have a real convictions one way or the other. It is just a fraking job spewing crap to the masses.


  14. ForTruth says:

    Billo is best at tabloid journalism. It’s his comfort zone. Glad to see him posting here tonight. Hows that device thingy?


  15. sectionop92 says:

    We better watch it…the “Coaxial Communist Coalition” of Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea and all terrorist bodies who pay the entry fee…will be coming for us! Grandpa McCain, his nursemaid and adult diaper changer Joe Lieberman and the GOP water carriers & constituents are gearing towards a showdown of Rambo-ian proportions, where they’d rather fight there and see a real “Red Dawn” scenario happen here than have…you know…Obama win any sort of detente with any hostile nations.


  16. KayInMaine says:

    I bet if WWIII starts and Russia invades America, Billo The Clown will run like a little girl!


  17. Keith says:

    Russia wants the US weakened? Russia wants the US stopped in its global advance! There is the occupation of Iraq, there is Afghanistan smack on Russia’s border, there are US and Israeli arming of Georgia and Ukraine smack on Russia’s border, there is trying to get Ukraine and Russia in NATO, and the US is making alliances in the ‘Stans.

    Zooey, EVERYONE thinks their posts are true genius. Even our trolls.


  18. Keith says:

    KayInMaine,
    He would probably be a collaborator.

    “All you did was claim that Mr. O’Reilly think he can read minds. He never said he could. He bases his opinions off of facts and actual events; he doesn’t just make stuff up.”

    Are you kidding? O’Reilly constantly ascribes conspiratorial motives to anyone presenting unwelcome facts. It’s one of the Right’s primary tactics.


  20. CultureWarrior says:

    Squeaky Wheels:

    Have you ever seen The O’Reilly Factor or read any of O’Reilly’s books?


  21. EugeneDebs says:

    Why in the WORLD would I have to watch the mindnumbing ignorance of the factor to comment on something stupid he said on his radio show? As for reading his book if by book you mean the drooling ignorance of a mentally defective moron, I just couldnt I had an urgent appointment to get a vasectomy by a street vendor with a rusty razor, a much more rewarding experience I am sure.


  22. CultureWarrior says:

    EugeneDebs:

    I wasn’t talking to you. I doesn’t make sense that you call him ignorant, yet you don’t watch The Factor, listen to the Radio Factor, nor have you read any of his books. THAT is ignorant. O’Reilly knows both sides and makes his points based on that information. You ask why you should even have to here the other side of the argument. How can you call the conservative argument and its supporters ignorant. I read books from both sides, then make my decision based on that information. It is ridiculous to claim others are ignorant when you yourself do not wish to hear their side. All you do is call conservatives names and say they are ignorant. Once again, we get off the subject of the real issue and end up insulting each other. Here’s a mirror. Look into it for a bit. You might realize that it’s much better to hear both sides and THEN decide with whom you don’t agree. Otherwise, you are ignorant of your ignorance.


  23. TomS says:

    Hey, Blue State Bob, aren’t you also known as Blew Strait Dick? LOL!!!!


  24. TomS says:

    They are such a farce. All these PINKOS now want to dress up in BLUE. It must be their inner Monica cum-ing out! LOL!
