Bill O'Reilly: ACLU in league with terrorists

oreilly-aclu-lawsuit-01.jpg

Rank the Falafel Guy right up there at the top of the list of Americans (behind the Bush administration, naturally) that sneer on the very foundation upon which this country was built. Little things like civil liberties are ridiculous concepts that let the terrorists win. Kudos to the ACLU for refusing to put themselves up to O'Reilly's sandbagging techniques. To his credit, Steven Greenberg, the attorney brought on to defend the ACLU, does a great job of swatting down all of Bill's talking points.

The ACLU is suing the FBI right here in the USA. At issue, the bureau watching some American Muslims. The ACLU wants all records detailing that made public in California. No word on whether Al Qaeda has joined the ACLU in that lawsuit and the ACLU refused to appear with us this evening.

Bill keeps harping on how the ACLU doesn't want to protect Americans, but neglects to remember that the Muslims that ACLU is fighting for are Americans.

If we had a democratic president and Bill's ass was yanked off the street and he was accused of being some sort of enemy combatant, he would be the loudest one calling for help from ACLU. Bet on it.

But they're not REAL Americans, you realize.

After all, real Americans are...well, they're just like Bill-o. We're just fake Americans.

The fact that Billo still has a hard-on for the ACLU proves that his viewership consists of angry OLD reactionaries. Like those Gathering of "Eagles" guys with missing teeth who still screech about "commies."

Bill reminds me of a man being left on an island in the middle of the ocean as the ship sails away. He keeps screaming, "Hey, don't forget about me." But the ship sails on leaving his noise behind. He says all kinds of things trying to get attention but no one is hearing him any more.

But the ACLU has also taken on the Larry Craig case! Can't wait till the repub operatives call me asking for money to get rid of the ACLU, like they did in '04, claiming the ACLU and Dems supported NAMBLA. That was a fun phone call, and the one coming up will be even better!

Republicans think that civil rights are only rights that belong to them. Remember who stood up for Rush Limbaugh's rights when he was busted? The ACLU. I'll say it again. It's a hallmark of Republicans: They only understand issues when the issues affect them personally (including through a family member or good friend).

I wonder how BillO would react if the NSA released the tapes of BillO's falafel phone calls! They got to have them, why else would he rant so loudly in support of GW if they didn't have something on him? Couldn't be for money could it?

To Billo only fat lazy white men who enjoy an anal dildo while sexually harrassing co-workers on the phone are Americans.

It's simple. If it doesn't happen to them, it doesn't exist. Civil rights violations - no such thing. Hunger - not a problem. Homelessness - a bunch of malcontents who refuse help. Poverty - lazy bastards who don't want to get off their butts and do honest work.

The truth is, that if it can happen to the least of us, it can happen to any of us.

I'm curious. Has Rush Limbaugh attacked the ACLU since that organization defended him?

Phoenix Justice's picture

The ACLU's mission is not to defend the United States from physical attacks by others, it is to protect the rights of those within the borders of the United States, its protectorates, territories and other properties defined by treaty. It defends the rights of those from the Klu Klux Klan to NAMBLA to Rush Limbaugh to terror suspects held in Gitmo to Senator Larry Craig to you and I.

Do I like some of the groups and individuals the ACLU has fought to protect the rights of? Not in the least, but the rights that were defended were my rights too.

Kind of funny that Mr. O'Reilly stated that he has no issue with the government listening in on his phone calls. I guess he wants everyone to hear when he is having phone sex.

Exactly. As Clarence Darrow put it, 'We can only be free by defending the other man's freedom. I can be free only if you are free.'

I guess Bill isn't looking out for me in the no spin zone because I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU and a monthly donor to the organization.

I guess Bill's memory has failed him - again. He just doesn't remember the Pledge of Allegience he recited in school - or, maybe he just mumbled his way through - especially that pesky part at the end: "....with liberty and justice for ALL."

Bill "I'll Give You The Last Word" O'Reily ... Then SHUT UP already!

After he gives the last work, he goes on to say...

"The ACLU provides a good balance for those of us who want to defeat terrorism."

That's just made up jumbled words that make no sense. What an idiot.

Jon, he's saying that when you are in the business of defeating terrorism, it's good to have a group that is in the business of not defeating terrorism. Fair and balanced, don't cha know. ;)

Tigerwong's picture

For some reason every time i see another Billo clip, all i can think is "Prothero."

Geek reference aside, i think it's very telling to see how he conflates a civil rights issue with "protecting America." Considering the fact that government agencies could get warrants for wiretaps and searches RETROACTIVELY i don't see why there's any reason for him to jump on the ACLU for insisting that said agencies get a hold of said warrants. The ACLU just wants America protected LEGALLY.

WTF ever Bill.

Bill says "I'll give you the last word", and then proceeds to have the last word himself, which is to say that the ACLU wants to allow "terrorists" to defeat America. This is a typical, simplistic view that's easy to digest and fire-up his wingnut base.

What Bill fails to realize is that the ACLU bases every legal argument on established laws. They're not inventing this shit up, Bill. They're protecting our rights and freedoms based on current laws. If you have a problem with the ACLU, you really have a problem with our laws.

What say you, Bill?

Does he not get just how completely SHORT BUS his statements are? The ACLU is against americans.
You sound like you need to read a book now and then billo. Or at least pull your head out of your ass and look around.

How exactly is working to protect the civil liberties of the populace equal to helping terrorism?
Do you get that squashing civil rights makes you a terrorist bo'rly? That wanting everyone to be afraid and willing to let people like you and your ilk walk all over them is terrorism?
Do you understand that most intelligent people look at you and see a dried up old nazi longing for the 'good ol days' that never were?

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Bill can do what he does because his speech is protected by the first amendment. Does he know that? If someone tried to shut him up, the ACLU would stand up for him. He might want to determine exactly what it is the the ACLU does for all of us.

I just reached your Not One Red Cent post, Nicole, so my comment here was redundant. It's great to see other people thinking this way, though, especially those who can influence a large audience. The Dems need to be sent a message because many of them hold their Senate seats (Tester, Webb, McCaskill) thanks to MoveOn.org and citizens against the war, and they bit the hand that fed them.

This guy is just dangerous. I mean to sit and smear an organization that's sole purpose is to defend the bill of rights is appalling. I also loved how it was "spying on terrorist" that the ACLU is supposedly against. Uh, no Bill, they are against spying on Americans without warrants.

I with Stewart had gone on O'Lielley's show to argue how HE was hurting America instead of Tucker. Too late for that now - Billo wouldn't let Stewart near him with a 350 foot pole.

This man is a screeching harpy - a misanthrope. He is just a caricature of a human being.
*

Harpies are generally construed to be female. "The Harpies were birds with women's upper bodies. Following tradition, there were three of them, they were:

Aello or Aellopus, meaning Whirlwind or Storm foot
Ocypete, meaning Swift Wing
Thyella or Celaeno
These three sisters were always ravenously hungry. They were often called the Dogs of Zeus. The name Harpy means "Snatcher."

The were comparable to the Babylonian Lillit, who became known in Hebrew as Lilith and her Lilim, which wasn't a goth version of Josey and the Pussy-Cats.

Notice how Bill got the last word? His little trick he pulls on his guests.

The right wing has spent the last twenty-five years ridiculing the government's social programs inferring that the government cannot be trusted. Now we are supposed to trust them because they say they are going to protect us from "the terrorists"? Where was "dear leader" when the CIA and the FBI and Richard Clarke were beating his doors down, "hair on fire" and all. Oh yeah, on vacation! "You've covered your ass" he even said! Now all of a sudden we are supposed to trust this government with the Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, Terrorist Surveillance Program, and Guantanamo? They did their smear job against the government far too well. I do emphatically NOT trust the Government! Thank God for the ACLU. Get real, Bill O'Really!!!

Hasn't the ACLU stepped up to defend that Bathroom lurker, Larry Craig, as well?

Speaking of Larry Craig and his tapping tootsies:

Why does anyone give this guy a platform to launch into diatribe? Is it ego or what? They play into his hand every time, as though it's uncertain whether he can be swayed or that he will hesitate from framing the argument in the most egregious terms at the end so as to preach to the FOX neo-fascist choir.

If FOX wants to give this guy an hour to rant his bile and spew with the likes of Malkin and Coulter, let them. But to give him easy targets for leading questions, not to mention time to frame closing comments for maximum effect via the editing room. Well, shame on the fools that let them.

I vow to not watch this ass hat again.

By FoxNews standards that was a slap down.

I love how Bill always says "OK I'm going to give you the last word. Go ahead." He then steps on the guest with his finial speach.

Obfuscation @ #30:

You beat me to it: I was gonna say the same thing. I only with the guy had countered Bill-O by saying, "The ACLU isn't there to protect us from the terrorists; it's there to protect us from our own government."

Charles's picture

Bill O does more for terrorists by confusing, distorting, and bending the facts on real issues than just about anyone else in media.

bor must eat shit in his wheaties for breakfast and wash it down with the coolaid. he thinks no one can monitor HIS phone calls because there are laws in place. what does he think the patriot act took away when they don't need warrants to survaille ordaniary citizen's phone calls. he just spreads the lies. someone needs to take him to the vet and have him put down.

Dean's picture

Billo has always had such an interesting way of giving his guests the last word, don't yall think?

alex's picture

Well as we all know the Terrosists hate us for our freedom, so logically if we take away our freedoms then the terrorists can't hate us.

I'm joking by the way

Patthemokey @ 9:

Bill who? Why are you people watching this jerk and that network? Don't watch it, don't talk aout it and it will fade to black.

They tried that with Hitler right before WWII. Unfortunately, he didn't fade. He slaughtered thousands of Jews. As much as I hate to admit it, if you don't know what the other side is doing, you can't win the fight against them.

TDBACH's picture

O'Reilly's premise is absurd, of course. It almost always is. "The ACLU isn't protectng us from terrorists." No shit sherlock. That's not their job. That's what police, FBI, and NSA folks are supposed to do. The ACLU's job it to make sure those guys don't cross the line and infringe on our civil liberties in their enthusiasm. That it, nothing more. Sheesh...

The only thing about BillO that gives me hope about this country is that his ratings are going down. People are finally waking up to the BS he spews.

Why does Bill think the Aclu should fight terrorism? Has anybody told min what the letters stand for?

Gary Goodman's picture

search YouTube for Don't Be a Sucker, 1946 War Department film to educate Americans on how to spot fascist ideas and where they lead.

considering the source as well as the content, this is a very powerful argument

then email it to everyone, especially people whose real patriotism has been hijacked

Along with that, a 1947 YouTube video on the Seeds of Despotism or simply Despotism, produced by Encyclopedia Brittanica (surely it was contracted by the government too). These actually surprised me.

We know that Bill is obsessive and obsessed with terrorists, but there are other things to consider and other things worth protecting. What is Bill doing to protect this country from descending into Fascism? I don't believe he cares.

FreeDUMB's picture

BTW, Bill got in the final word.

monk's picture

After the Andrea Makris affair, are we really supposed to believe that Bill doesn't mind people monitoring his phone calls? He's willing to risk having his whirring vibrator and throaty groans go public? I guess Bill just loves living on the edge.

Mani's picture

It is obvious to me that Bill is associated with certain people and I'd like his phone tapped to figure out who these people are. THen one can easily press charges for the many hours of video evidence in which he is lying, pushing an agenda where money very well may be involved, while he purports to be fair and balanced and no spin; that has to be illegal!

lomaxx's picture

Did you notice how Bill said he was going to give him the last word. But at the end it was actually he that made the last comment. Bill O cant even be honest or keep his word about a simple thing like that.

Mike's picture

I want to see the day, sometime in a better America, when turds like Bill O'Rielly are the minority, and he's being persecuted for being a right-wing shill, and HE screams to the ACLU for help. The ACLU would probably respond to his cries anyway, but once, just ONCE, I'd love to hear the ACLU say to him, "Tough shit, Billo, you're on your own!"

DaveK's picture

Seems to me that if the government can listen to my conversations without a warrant, sneak and peak in my house, taser me for asking too many questions, throw me in a dark hole and not tell anybody, and spy on my library habits, then the terrorists have already won.

Mark's picture

Wow, BillO looks like he has aged 20 years since I last bothered to watch a clip of him! Just look at the guy. He looks like he's about 75 in this clip (the age of most of his viewers, coincidentally).

O'Reilly is a loud-mouthed loser, like all of the right-wing wackos we have had to put up with EVERY DAY for the last 6 years. I am so sick of them all I could just scream.

Chris's picture

what an idiot

BO's stench is so bad you just have to turn away in disgust. the only way he would be of some service is if someone with low blood pressure hears him and their blood pressure goes up.

I would give anything for someone to interrupt Mr Bill during his segue from HIS last word into the closing segment music by saying "Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Bill! You said you were giving me the last word!" What do you think would happen? Are there any documented cases where Mr Bill actually gave ANYBODY the last word? I would bet money he's pulled the same b.s. on guests with whom he agrees. You know there are some of his viewers who actually believe his meme and see him defy it with their own eyes yet they believe it anyway. Probably the same ones who still haven't concluded that the earth is not flat.

As for the "I've got nothing to hide" argument in favor of heavier and more intrusive surveillance of American citizens, I found a great essay you can use to rebutt these "Nothing To Hide" "patriots." It's at http://ssrn.com/abstract=998565. It's a very well-written essay, authored by Professor Daniel Solove that you can download and print. It pretty much extinguishes any remaining rationale one may have that it's okay to secretly spy on American citizens without a warrant. I got so tired of arguing with these "I've got nothing to hide so go ahead and spy on me" folks (including members of my own family) that I found this to be a godsend.

Bill keeps harping on how the ACLU doesn’t want to protect Americans, but neglects to remember that the Muslims that ACLU is fighting for are Americans.

But they're not REAL Americans, you realize.

After all, real Americans are...well, they're just like Bill-o. We're just fake Americans.

I was about to say... according to Bill, an American is a white upper middle class protestant who doesn't question authority.

... unless it's an authority figure he disagrees with and then he not only questions them, he viciously attacks them.

Every time I see this piece of shit on C&L I pray it's the last. It had been a long time since we had video from this blowhard. Please stop giving him time in a public forum. It only feeds his over inflated ego.
