Guess which one C&L agrees with?
First up on Billo's 'attack the far-left list' Monday night was the Seattle Post Intelligencer. See, back in Aug the FBI asked the Seattle media to run a photo of two men who looked "like they could be Middle Eastern. Or Latino. Or Italian. Or any of several other nationalities/ethnicities" that the Feds said had "been seen on several ferries and seemed "overly interested in the workings and layout."" So only after thoughtfully weighing the need for ferry security against the men's civil liberties and privacy the SPI editor chose to run "a story about the FBI's alert," but he chose not to publish the photographs, and Billo's been attacking him repeatedly on his show ever since.
So last week when one of the Seattle PI columnists wrote that she could understand how a disturbed young man could see "the church as an oppressive institution" Billo really got his loofah in a bunch, and just like he has done so many times before, he sent his flunkies out to ambush the editor at his home to ask him about it. Unfortunately the SPI editor must not really be from the "far left" or else surely he would have known KO's 3 magic words to use should anyone ever find O'Reilly's goons in their face with a camera: Malmedy, Mackris, and loofah.
Apparently the ambush wasn't enough to satisfy Billo, so he then set his sights on Mark Cuban for financing the new movie "Redacted" for its depiction of atrocities committed by some of our soldiers in Iraq, and Cuban had a few choice words to say about it. Note to Billo, this film is not going to incite any more anti-American hatred than the actual criminal actions of a few bad soldiers already did, and nothing could be more anti-American than pretending to report the news and acting like that never happened, and attacking those who won't. Sweeping the horrors of war under the rug is not the supporting the troops. A public that better understands those horrors is what a democracy needs so that it never unnecessarily sends our soldiers into war in the first place.

If you notice in the screencap, BillO is already referring to him as "Mr. Bush".
Prepping for a post-White House apologist strategy is fail, you feckless mouthpiece.
When you look 'empty headed moron' up in the dictionary there's a picture of b'orly.
Well said, billw!
bill o'really wears holy underwear?
lol, I love Mark Cuban. Why can't he own my favorite sports teams?
adam @ 6:
Here in Texas we're tired of Cuban, but simply abhor Jerry Jones.
Bill's just mad because Mark Cuban is a billionaire 9-11 truther. Something happened back in May that caught Bill's attention. Go research.
Did you know your car can be searched WITHOUT CAUSE if you are waiting for a ferry? In Washington State? Even though the ferry system is part of the state highway system. So it's as if you are on a state highway, driving along, and a fed or a highway patrolman just pulls you over even though everything on your car works, you're wearing your seatbelt, not exceeding the speed limit (And not DWB) and have a thorough shufti through your vehicle.
So if you don't have a bomb, but you have pot-well ask Dionne Warwick how that shit works.
Thank you, Patriot Act. For abrogating my right to privacy in my own car. While waiting for a ferry in Seattle and environs.
People should go to the Maverick games with signs that say "Bill is a moron".
Wait so that weird editorial about hate of Religion was really written?
I said the same thing billw, that any hatred for the movie is mis-placed. It should be for the soldiers' actions. This terrible event is a perfect example of why we need bring the soldiers home and END the War on Terror.
"Truth is anti-American"
I've been thinking that ever since John Kennedy was murdered. What else is new?
CD @ 11:
never mind.
Greg @ 10:
lmao! I luv that idea. :)
I knew the rabid right would start demanding that war dissenters (and in the loon O'Reilly's case, O'Reilly dissenters) be prosecuted (or just short of this) for endangering the country.
These people have gone over the edge folks. We have to keep them from taking the country with them...if it is not too late already.
Mr. Bush! That's no way to talk about the Emperor.
If he really wanted to get Cuban's goat, he'd simply mention the Golden State Warriors and be done with it. By the way, Dallasites are not "tired of Cuban" or "Abhor Jerry Jones". In fact, most people here love Cuban turning the Mavs into a perennial winner, and the Cowboys are 8-1.
olbermann to the rescue!
billy's has spoken out about so many topics. where ever he felt he could do the most good, he has spoken out. you may agree with him. you may disagree with him. he has spoken out.
but he has never spoken out about sexual harassment.
why?
Time to review Keith Olberman's workshop for how to respond to OLiely ambushes: "falafel, falafel, falafel." I wish BO hated me enough to send out the goon squad, I'd love to ask how proper it is for a sex criminal to advertise his books on promoting the values of children. Yeah, I'll bet he wouldn't see a movie about a 14 year....oh never mind, he's just too gross to even pander to.
Seriously does anybody still buy into Bill-O's bullshit anymore?
I'll hold up a sign that says "I support the troops...except the one's that rape and torture young girls".
Bill takes everything way out of context. So WHAT the Seattle Post didn't want to publish the photo. Good for them! Why varnish someones reputation, invade their privacy just because you're intiminated by their presense. Who reported them as "acting suspicious" anyway? Heck, some may say I'm "acting suspicious" when I'm walking around Nemius and Marcus gawking at the cashmere sweaters, simply due to the fact that I'm poor and brown!
O’Reilly: Truth is Anti-American
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYtlpG0hb38
I am bringing my sign that says
"support the truth"
I thought Mark Cuban was a turd. I changed my mind. Go Mavs
O'Wrinkles is such an American joke.
Otay @ 16:
Wouldn't it be great if these reichwing hate/fear/warmongers were renditioned in the dark of night and never seen or heard from again? And besides....if anyone should be prosecuted...besides the preznitt on down...it should be O'liely and other like him. They are the ones who, through frothy and fiery rhetoric, whipped the ignorant sheep (Faux News watchers, and those who voted republican in 04) into a blood and oilthirsty frenzy.
I think they should be getting nervous. If the shit hits the fan, and there is a revolt, those bastards better run and hide! There will be large, angry mobs looking to run roughshod over the lot of 'em!
Pile O Vile (aka Billo) needs his home and family hounded by everyone.
"American soldiers are dying in combat to defend Mark Cuban's right to dance the mambo on Dancing With the Stars" _Bill O'Reilly
Billo has a magnificent ability to turn a phrase that completely encapsulates his viewpoint.
JC @ 18:
Everybody loves a winning team, but people are getting tired of their grandstanding. Jones in particular is making himself wealthy out of Arlington taxpayers, and the eminent domain land grab of affordable property there has got even Cowboy fans put off at least somewhat.
"No American should support an enterprise that incites hatred against America"
My question to Billo:
"Why then do you support the Iraq war, which is THE enterprise that incites hatred against America on the first place"???
What a moron, really...
Get em KO.
drudge reports in big bold letters headlining his blog:
WOLF WARNED: NO GANGING UP ON HILLARY IN VEGAS!
Wolf just said it is a lie!
drudge just gave the Clintons a huge victory because all the smears will not be credible.
Thanks drudge!
CD @ 11:
D. Parvaz wrote in her editorial that she could understand how some organized relegions could drive someone around the bend. She did not say she condoned it. BTW, Parvaz goes by her first initial/last name. What business does Billo have revealing her first name?
Didn't the musical combo, The Exploited, have a song called, Bill is a Wanker?
Without having viewed "Redacted" Bill O tells us we are disloyal Americans if we choose to see it. If we didn't support invading Iraq we were disloyal Americans. If we asset that a woman has sovereignty over her own body we are criminals. If we don't go watch a basketball game carrying a sign that Bill O has instructed us to carry we are disloyal Americans.
War is not just about "supporting the troops." If it was Japan and Germany would have destroyed us in the 1940s. They had cheerleading sections to die for.
++++
Mark @ 22:
Sadly, yes they do.....the same ones who get angry when you criticize the prez...or republicans in general....the same ones who don't believe global warming...the same who believe there were WMD'S in Iraq and that hussein was behind 911...basically, fuckin morons.
Mark @ 22:
Unfortunately:
KO's been steadily making gains on him but damn there are a lot of stupid idiots that still tune in to watch Faux News and the big giant head every night.
Y'know, I always wonder about the text next to Billy when he spouts....kinda reminds me of a kindergarten show, trying to teach little children to read or something. What conclusions can I draw about his viewers?
Mark @ 22:
Billo's TV ratings quadruple the closest competitor. So the answer to that question is a YES.
wait - a movie about american soldiers raping and killing local iraqis is going to create hatred towards americans? Haven't the last few years of the war already done that? wouldn't that make the movie redundant?
ysbaddaden @ 7:
speak for yourself ass. i love me some jerry and cuban.
mrogi @ 39:
His ratings will go down drastically when somebody finally discovers the bodies of his audience and turns off their TVs.
Bill is in the back if the garbage truck being hauled away but he's still yelling, Look how important I am.
How the hell did the FBI lose these two guys? Who took their photograph? WTF? Give me a break, asking the public and the media to do the FBI's job.
No Bill they're risking there live because a bunch of un - american neo-cons sent them to war on a pack of lies and deception.
Rusty Shackleford @ 42:
LOL! Thanks for making my day.
The other thing which would lower his ratings is for hearing aids to be checked and eyeglass prescriptions re-updated.
BILLY, Unfortunely a few of our troops pleaded guilty to raping and murdering iraqis civilians. Cuban is NOT painting a broad brush. Any intelligent person can see it's just a sad story that happens in illegal conflicts. You are an ignorant asshole!
one good reason to understand the 'horrors' is that these people will be coming home having killed, wounded and/or tortured hundreds of thousands of Iraqis while under orders serving our rulers. the mindset required for those things will require some adjustment to 'normal', i.e. post-wartime, life.
I have a couple of people in my life who served in Nam and they returned as different people from when they left. Thye did not return as 'bad' people, but for months after their return it was very important not to provoke them in any way for fear of life and limb. It's no joke. Adjustment on their part and ours is necessary.
mrogi @ 39:
better check those numbers again.
LOL.. Mark Cuban.
It's amazing that Bill's outrage isn't towards the soldiers who rape a 14 year old girl, but instead he goes after the film which protrays it. What is his grudge against innocent girls?
Reid @ 12:
Very well said. Using the military against a scruffy band of terrorists is like an elephant trying to stomp on a flea. After the attacks on Madrid and the London bombings, both the Spanish and British governments used police work and intelligence to pursue leads in who caused the attacks and bombings in those cities. The Democrats, as expected, continue to shoot themselves in the foot by not pointing out how ludicrous it is to use such overkill as the military when using the resources of the police and intelligence agencies would be the far more intelligent and wise thing to do. The tragedy is that the more our politicians allow this unnecessary use of force to continue, the more it increases the chance that more soldiers will return to this country killed and maimed and crippled and disfigured and dismembered, all for no justifiable reason whatsoever.
There goes a couple of hundred viewers.
Too bad Bildo O'Lielly didn't mention Mark Cuban's work and donations to fallen soldiers' families.
FLASH: Billo condemns the Bush Administration!
And there's nothing quite like an unjustified war which kills hundreds of thousands of people in another part of the world to incite hatred against America, is there?
Good start, Billo.
Hmmm... I go with O'Reilly is a moron.
Why don't those people who Billy sends his hit squad out to confront (that editor) have those assholes arrested for tresspassing? Boy I'd love to have one of them come on my property. I live in Texas. We're allowed to shoot people if we feel threatened.
Oh, and by the way, not a big fan of Jones but love the Cowboys. AND Mark Cuban might be my new hero.
ysbaddaden @ 30:
Where did I say anything about Arlington taxpayers? I said Dallasites. Arlington residents get what they deserve.
You know....BillO is looking a lot like a terrorist type to me. Has that crazed look about him. Beady and shifty eyes, too. He's probably got a suicide vest on this very moment. And isn't he the falafel king? I sure hope that FBI and the NSA and Blackwater are keeping an eye on him, because all of his so-called patriotic noise making strikes me as being a huge case of "BillO doth protest too loudly".
BillO, I got my eye on you, you America-hating terrorist.
Piren @ 33:
I responded to my own post acknowledging that I had discovered the answer to my question.
SPI should run a front page alert picture of O'Reilly, with the caption:
'This apparently drug-crazed, psychotically-disturbed, possibly IRA-connected terrorist, has been seen loitering about various media outlets and public rest room facilities, and should be considered dangerous. If spotted, do not approach, keep a safe distance and call 911 as soon as possible'.
Bill O. syas he'd never sit through a vile movie about a 14 year old getting raped????? Isn't this the same clown who said that 14 year kid who was kidnapped, almost murdered, and repeatedly raped must have been having fun or he would have left??!!! Someone needs to ambush that ass hole at his home with a camera and ask him to explain himself.
Anybody want to bet that Cuban does a "Support Our Troops" night and donates a portion of the proceeds to veterans?
IB222 @ 51:
It is simply republican talking point 101: Use red herring arguments whenever possible.
Sadly it works remarkably well in this country, or at least with the significant portion of morons who buy FOX's drivel.
I think Bill O'Reilly's show incites hatred for America. Heck, I think the whole Fox network incites hatred for America. Let's picket outside their headquarters that THEIR portrayal of Americans' attitudes is generating international terrorism against us, thus increasing the threat of a terrorist attack on U.S. soil. So if they were as patriotic as they claim, they would stop with the arrogant a**-h*** routines and stop portraying the majority of American citizens as being on board with their brand of hatred and vitriole against anything that doesn't suck up to the Bush/Cheney administration. Have we had enough of this c**p yet?!.
Bill O'Reilly? Sounds like a foreign name to me. Irish perhaps. Probably Catholic too. If so, that makes him an Irish Republican Army terrorist sympathizer, doesn't it? Un-American traitorous terrorist-sympathizing bastard! Bill O'Reilly, you're now officially ON NOTICE!!!
Can we trade Donald Sterling (owner of the Clippers) for Cuban?
Billo's ratings only prove one thing, that is demographic consists of the people who get home from work and turn on the tv for the next 5 hours before going to bed. While us "liberals" are busy on the net searching for our own truth, engaged in some sort of hobby other then sitting on your ass in front of the boob tube, cooking, hiking, drinking, smoking pot, listening to music, reading books, or having sex, there is Billo's faithful afterwork couch potatoes, ready to be spoon fed their opinions in easy to digest sound bites and anger feeding rantings. So of the people that can't find something better to do then get their opinions and entertainment from TV, Billo takes the cake. He can have it, cause if war comes to us, these lazy couch potatoes are as good as dead. Hey maybe that says something about why they are so scared, they know they couldn't jog a block if their life depended on it.
This old fart is so full of hate, rage and frustration...it's all he can do to get his jollies by using his propaganda network to spew hatred and anger at anyone willing to disagree with him or point out his lunacy.
bor is beyond worthless. At least shit you can recycle. He's absolutely scum!
This site is to hard on Oilroly after all he is a moron and that should be taken into account before you comment on his stupidity.
As for being a sexual pervert and a criminal he has never been convicted of those crimes paying a settlement does not mean that he did anything wrong it just means that if he did not do anything wrong he is a moron. Since that has already been established it is not fair to judge him.
Bloviating Billo certainly is strident these days. Wonder what's really got his nasty tighty whities all in a twist...
I hadn't even heard of Redacted. Thanks Bill, I can't wait to see it. I'll wear my "Bring the Troops Home" shirt when I do. Bill O'Reilly - Traitor American Bitch.
All you America haters should read my book "The Factor for Kids" In it I talk about Shawn Hornbeck (http://mediamatters.org/items/200701170009) and other kids like this so called kid an "Iraqi 14 year old that was raped and murdered" she was probably enjoying it a bit too much just like Andrea Makris....you can't talk to ME!
mrogi @ 39:
Yes, the vast sea of drooling morons like you who gave us the worst president in history. Nice job.
Seamus @ 62:
This is the same guy who wrote a book about underaged crack whores.
justabill @ 37:
I'm far more disturbed that more people watch Nancy "ZOMG, screw the brown people dying -- where is that one white girl??!!11" Grace than Keith.
Yes Bill-no one should incite hatred against Americans.
As an example,no one should ever use his platform to characterize all people against the "war" in Iraq as "far left" "loons".No one should ever impugn-on a daily basis-the patriotism of his fellow Americans simply because of their "far left" politics.
Billo the sack of shit, really got his work cut out for him, defending the fucking indefensible, and trying to wear the flag while doing it.
It is sick, sick, sick, sick, sick.........
Looking forward to his trial in the coming years, the last time around in Nuremberg his kind of reporters were hung by their neck like the rats they had proved to be.
Truth is certainly against his America, not anyone else.
This moron only talks about hate, love, and emotions, evidently sense, logic, and reason do not come into a failed enterprise costing one trillion and six hundreds of billions while killing many Americans, and committing genocide in Iraq.
Bill's a rapist himself so i'm not surprised he's defending other fellow rapists.
He is a shitstain and embarrases humanity every time he opens his mouth.
it's amazing that he can even speak with Bush's dick down his throat and balls glued to his chin.
IB222 @ 51:
That is what I found abhorrent.
Krash
Yuk! I've endured some God-awful trolls in my day but that man takes the cake... Please, for the love of God, don't put O'Reilly clips on C&L any more, he's unbearable!
Indigowatcher @ 81:
Agreed - everyone ignore BillO and let him sink into the swamp!
nwmuse @ 56:
Yep, me too... and Bill's a maroon too.
"independent" Bill attacks any film that isn't Medved approved. He always has the old actors on friday's to help his 70 year old viewers remember when America was more "right and white"
mrogi @ 29:
And American Soldiers are dying in combat so that O'Reilly can spend his time making boatloads of money attacking free speech that he doesn't agree with.
Most of the people on C&L turn as neat a phrase as this guy.
Paul Anka: To stop those monsters 1,2,3,
here's afresh new way that's trouble-free.
It's got Paul Anka's guarantee
Lisa Simpson: Guarantee void in Tennessee!
Both: Just don't look, Just don't look,
Just don't look, Just don't look
Billo seems to be outraged that Mark Cuban financed a film that denigrates the military. If I enjoyed the propaganda skills of Leni Riefenstahl I would make a video of Mark Cuban doing the mambo; then slowly transition to footage of a soldier getting his head blown off in Baghdad. The caption would be, "He gave his life so Cuban can dance."
Ronin Tetsuro @ 2:
Bill O'Really is NOT feckless! He's probably more fecked up than anybody around! ;-)
Hey Chickenhawk Bill,
When my liberal brother was in Nam '67, '68, right in the middle of the Tet Offensive,why weren't you supporting the troops by being there? I'm sure it was much easier to remain state side with all your TV and talk radio chickens#*t minions.
And I'm even more sure that this new idea of yours will be as effective as your boycott of France.
Bill O. is a cancer on this country.
mrogi @ 87:
Why aren't you in Bhagdad?
Why in gods name is it a crime to hate president Bush?
I dont understand. How does the movie PORTRAY Americans doing these heinous things? Are they faking footage? The only ones portraying these actions are the people actually engaging in said actions.
Yea, like hatred of Bill Clinton never " set in".
swarmofkillermonkeys @ 76:
To be fair, now that you said something I believe Keith had the night off and Alison Stewart hosted Countdown on Fri. Usually KO fares better than the bubbleheaded bleach blonde, but not by much. This is proof that present company notwithstanding, America is stupid as $**t.
Monday's are out now
adam @ 6:
If you are referring to him buying the Cubs, I'm all for it as long as he leaves Wrigley Field alone. They are right now redoing the outfield so there shouldn't be any complaints next year.
Never trust the judgment of a guy who was too stupid to sign Steve Nash to a well deserved new NBA contract.
That's exactly how to deal with that producer gofer.
mrogi @ 97:
I dunno, they seem to have done pretty well regardless. They have a guy named Jason Terry who can play a bit..... :)
mrogi @ 29:
Which of course is complete bullshit. American soldiers are dying in combat because George W. Bush can't admit that it was a mistake to invade Iraq in the first place. Originally though they were dying to ensure that the investment the Republicans made in stealing the election didn't disappear after a mere four years. Hell of a lot harder to get a decent investigation into voter fraud, intimidation and election rigging when the party that did the rigging is still in power.
In the immortal words of SnoopDog: "Bill O'Reilly can suck my dick"!.........................
Gary @ 92:
Because he's a Republican. If he were Democrat it would be just fine to hate him.
I would like to suggest that everyone send Billo a Christmas present. He likes loofahs.

I was thinking of it as in aid of his fight against the War on Christmas. We don't want Bill to have to fight dirty.
Everyone should do what I did and email Brillo's producer and ask him why you aren't on Brillo's Enemies List. The more paranoid we make this creep, the better.
TC @ 99:
Mark Cuban came from a middle class background and made his wealth from starting tech companies and than selling them. He took over a bad Dallas team and has made them into a team competitive every year. He did not come from a blueblood wealthy republican family and cash in on his family name (ie. Bush)
"No loyal American should support an enterprise that incites hatred against America."
Like.... invading a sovereign nation and occupying it? Aren't his fifteen minutes up?
I know what movie I will be going to see.
i wonder if I could find a Bill O'liely costume, something that doesnt involve telephones or vibrators for its props though. ??
Old Billy @ 110:
Like when we attacked Germany via France, even though Hitler never attacked us, right?
Why does anyone care what Bill O'Reilly says about a movie that no one will ever see? Our friends on the left pointing out a bully and feeling sorry for themselves is Lieberalism 101.
I feel a need to invoke Godwin's here...
My first thought upon seeing this was Papa Bear is like Goebbels... but then I thought a second more and realized...no... He is what Goebbels aspired to be.
>>> If the shit hits the fan, and there is a revolt, those bastards better run and hide! There will be large, angry mobs looking to run roughshod over the lot of ‘em!
(sigh) Were it to be true...I would personally throw the first thousand turds into the blades.
Unfortunately, we as a people lack the requisite Testicular Fortitude to get this job done.
Think of every piece of shit in the government since 1950. Any of them die anywhere else but in bed?
No?
We need three things to take the government back: rope, gravity, and will.
What makes you think that 'Murricans will stop text'ing, watching "SURVIVOR - SHEEPSHEAD BAY," or talking about who's shtupping Paris Hilton long enough to take the country back?
anybody taking bets as to how many mav fans show up wielding signs?
lufa boy is a laff riot
and from what kindergarten does he get his producers?
Billo has alot of viewers alright.
But half of them suffer from Alzheimers.
They believe RR/George W. Bush beat Hitler before they free'd East Europe.
"Like when we attacked Germany via France, even though Hitler never attacked us, right?"
Specious argument, dumbfuck. Nazi Germany was a threat to the entire world. Iraq under our former client/ally Hussein (see: photo of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam) was not a threat to the U.S. -- until Bushie Boy's oil-and-vengeance hard-on turned it into a terrorist haven and training ground.
America attacking Iraq after 9/11 is akin to America attacking Mexico after Pearl Harbor. Get it?
Probably not. Chickenhawks never do.
To say that "the truth is anti-American" is like saying "if the US Constitution is followed accordingly, then the terrorists will win".
Workhorse @ 118:
We strike terror into them by existing. Maybe their definition of us technically fits.
... and his fans are morons as well.
.
Everybody loves a winning team, but people are getting tired of their grandstanding. Jones in particular is making himself wealthy out of Arlington taxpayers, and the eminent domain land grab of affordable property there has got even Cowboy fans put off at least somewhat.
Land grab, isn't that how Bush and the Texas Rangers got their new stadium built, which made little Georgie quite popular(and rich).
joe cantwell @ 20:
It's hard to give an imbecile credit for speaking out. This simple minded, albeit well-meaning, egotistical hate mongering self-rightous ratings machine should be retired. 60% of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is crap. the rest is crap.
Have you ever read a book about WWII?
German U boats sunk over 60 US civilian freighters in the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Coast, and New York Harbor before December 7, 1941. Japan, Germany and Italy had mutual defense agreement. All three would defend each other if attacked by a fourth. We declared war on Japan and Germany after Pearl Harbor. Our first European campaign was in Africa against the Germans. The invasion of Europe started in the south, Sicily, then Italy. France had capitulated to Germany - surrendered. It was occupied by Germany when the Allies invaded France to liberate it and to conquer the Nazi party that had taken over Germany.
Scott, learn something, then post.
Boy, you're so clueless.
Hitler himself declared War on the United States on December 11, 1941. German U-boats attacked the USA on January 13, 1942 - "Unternehmen Paukenschlag" -; they launched attacks on shipping off the east coast and approximately 20 ships sunk in the first month of operations.
Sicily was invaded in July of 1943, the Battle of Normandy began on June 6, 1944.
If you want to look at who puts our toops at risk you might want to try the neocons who have turned Iraq into a huge clusterfuck. It's all too easy to simply blame the people in POWER, isn't it?
I sometimes wonder how you don't forget to respirate.
@114
I'm not sure it's as much a matter of testicular fortitude (I have gonads, but not those 'nads) as it is a combination of wanting to remain comfortable and the creeping changes to our lifestyles that make it difficult to throw off our indentured servitude (I have had to pitch a fit to get off work so I could vote).... that and the fact that the last twenty odd years of school (and especially the eight years I was in the K-12 system stateside) have been focused on creating workers, not thinkers. We've actually gotten to the point where the froshies where I go to college think that disagreeing with anyone's opinion, no matter how blatant, is so rude they don't feel right doing it. They equate close examination of an idea with a physical fight. And no one, far as I've been able to tell, is teaching critical thinking in the K-12 and sometimes on into college. Scares the piss outta me. I mean, I know that teaching critical thinking is messy, but JAY-sus, it's better than creating a culture of conformity.
Solution to be rid of B.O'R. once and for all:
Billionaire Cuban offers Andrea Makaris 5x the dollar amount she received in exchange for the tapes of Bill'O's "Falafel Tapes" - she turns the masters over to Cuban (you KNOW they're still around somewhere), Cuban then he leaks those tapes all over the web - bye bye Bill!
Scott @ 112:
Lieberalism as in Joe Lieberman? He's your guy now.
Germany was Japan's ally so after we declared war on Japan, in consequence of their attack on Pearl Harbor, within a few days Germany declared war on US.
eve @ 107:
El eid Loofer?
The guy is simply a moron. Below is from the Faux noise web site where he is attacking George Clooney. Get out the erasers the wingers have just rewritten the history books. When you celebrate Thanksgiving let it be known according to chief historian O'Reilly the reason the Pilgrims left England was not because of religious persecution, but it was all about taxes.
.......Billo “Finally, Clooney weighs in on Rudy Giuliani. "[He] might end up winning the nomination from the Christian right. That tells you the rest of the country is a little bit moved away from the idea of this 'Jesus is right about everything kind of mood'. I'm not knocking religion, but there was a reason that we left England."
“Of course, that reason was taxation without representation. Nothing to do with Jesus, George. Just setting the record straight.”
O'Reilly says that no American should support any enterprise that incites hatred towards America.
That throws the Iraq war out of the list of things that one can support.
Bill O'Reilly ,may be a little over the top, but his unwavering support of the troops is why we love him and his show. Why in the world would anyone criticize someone becaues he supports the people who make it possible for you all to spew out your hatred. If you are American you should: (a) want America to win any conflict, (b) not criticize someone who thinks that we should, and (c) be thankful that you do not live under a muslim regime. Why? Because if you did they would slit all of your throats for being infidels. I wish you all could experience what it is like to live in Saudi Arabia. Then maybe, just maybe you would be thankful to be in teh Greatest Nation the earth has ever known.

Actually you're right, but unfortunately the average American confuses Puritans and Pilgrims. Pilgrims I've heard defines as English non-confrmists who wanted seperation of church and state, but you can imagine billo's reaction to that. Purita didn't leave England in search of their religious rights, they were kicked out by the Restoration of the monarchy. After the death of Oliver Cromwell, his sons couldn't hold his Protectorate together, so King Charles II took over.
They went to Holland where they pissed off the locals. And then had to relocate to America. They settled the Massachusetts Bay Colony and imposed a theocracy. But their settlement was 50 years after the Virginia settlement. However, leading up to within a couple of decades of the Revolution, entire states could be of one religion. Both Virginia and Maryland were Catholic. But in the aftermath of the Civil War, Lincoln declared the first regular Thanksgiving, but the Massachusetts Puritans were emphasized to deemphasize that the first settlement was in the Southern state of Virginia.

I'm an Air Force vet, how about you?
billo the fallafel/loofah pervert doesn't represent me.

O'Reilly gets way too much attention
duh @ 135:
Hence your nom de'guerre.
Greg @ 10:
That would be great!
putting us at ddanger for hating him?!?!?!?! WHAT AN IDIOT! Bush is putting US in danger! The AMERICAN thing to do is to disagree with him and dislike him! Seeing as most of us do! The Anti-American thing to do is support this asshole!
This coming from the same station that reported the Cali wildfires were a terroist act. He says he wouldn't watch a movie showing those horrible things, but what if it were true? He would just turn a blind eye??? This guy is an idiot and I can see why he likes BUsh so much. As for making Cuban feel guilty that there are troops over there....he is blaming the wrong guy! Talk to Bush! Bush is letting the American people down, the USA troops down, the world down, and he doesn't seem to care at all. His way or the highway. Is Bill getting at supprting the troops or the president?!?! He says troops but most already support them anyway! Not the bad ones, but the ones who are sick of being over there because they can see how pointless this whole thing was. If Adolf Hitler was a US troop and doing horrible things, would we still support him??? HELL NO! This movie is pointing out the horrific parts of this war that cause good people to go insane and do these crazy things. It also shows the few sickos who join the military (and same for polic forces) just to take advantage of their power. Bill, WAKE THE HELL UP ASSHOLE! Get you head out of your ass. And to say he has a grudge against his country....HAHAHA. The grudge is against BUSH! YOU IDIOT! And the fact is, 74% of the country feel the same way! I HATE YOU BILL! I HATE YOU GEORGE! I HATE DICK! You will be brought to justice for your crimes against humanity. PUT THEM IN MORE DANGER?!?! HOW THE HELL IS A MOVIE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH THAT!?!?! Bush can throw them into a country where the people don't want them there and will try and kill them, but that isn't putting them in more danger? Instead, it is a movie that points out the horrors of the war??? If there were postives then we would see them! But there are none. Just like Vietnam. This is no longer a democracy!
fedup @ 44:
And they say they are still "on the loose". on the loose from what? What exactly did they do? I didn't realize looking suspicious was a crime. I guess Bill really is a moron
yeah, suspicious for standing on a ferry while it went across the water. What else are you supposed to do??? Diasgree with Bush and you will be penalized! This isn't democracy! Remember in Portland 2002 when the police turned on the peaceful protesters? First of all, the police were filming anyone who had a megaphone or bandana covering their face. This was good for future profiling. Illegal, I think so. Well, luckily there are a few good people in that police force who leaked all the videos. It provided us with evidence of the everything the police did illegally. Guess why they sprayed the crowd with tear glass. Guess why they hit people with sticks. Guess why they shot rubber bullets at the people. No, it was NOT because they were becoming violent (as we can CLEARLY see they are not violent). It wasn't because someone threw a bottle at them (their claim to why they started "clearing" protesters that even their own videos do not support). It was because the street they were on was home to a upscale hotel and the rich assholes inside did not want to hear the protesters. That sucks they can't sleep in the middle of the day, but we have a right to voice our opinion. Oh yeah, obviously this was a war protesting hte Iraq war. BUSH IS DESTORYING OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE LETTING HIM GET AWAY WITH IT!!! We need all people to realize Bush is ruining our great nation's reputation and causing hatred to the American people! We need to let these people know we too do not like Bush!!!!
gladnottobeamerican @ 31:
Yeah. They all just loved us before the war....
sheesh.
Morris Jones @ 132:
His support of the troops. As if anyone doesn't support the troops.
After Cuban said o'really's a moron, billo is now suing him for definition of character.
If there is a new American revolution do you think this "complete ASSHOLE" could be tried for treason!???
High crimes and misdemeanors???
He is a talking head for the so called NEW WORLD ORDER!!
People are not waking up fast enough to recover this time. People like Bill'O are winning in dumbing down the majority of Americans and I see nothing but a bleak future for this continent as well as the rest of the world.
Most of the people here are dems, right!??
Same group of thieves and murderers! just a different color!!
Look at all the candidates.......none are good, except one.
But the poor bastard is to late to save a country he truly loves.....an honest, fearless man trying to win the hearts and minds of people too fearful to save themselves.
You see what's happening in Pakistan??? George Bush is still supporting this dictator hidden behind America's thin veil of democracy. Watch the news footage coming out of that country....this is what will happen in North America in the near future....this is no "theory"....it's happening now and you are all letting it happen!
Read and learn because that info which empowers everyday citizens will soon be gone.
Dissent will soon be not tazers and beatings, but death in a FEMA camp!!
Listen to JFK, Ike and your common sense. Remember the manufactured world wars. 150,000,000 dead in 100 years of a banker controlled planet!!
Morris Jones @ 132:
Interesting theory, but why are we fighting to keep the leaders of Saudi Arabia operating if it is such a heinous place? Part of the reason that we are in Iraq is to protect our fabulous allies in the Middle East. And you say that they aren't models of free societies? Amazing.
If you can spare the time, you really should reread the Constitution so that you can understand that the free speech that we are exercising here, though it may not meet your standard of civility, is truly the thing that makes this country great. And fighting a futile, senseless war thousands of miles away has nothing to do with anything...well, maybe oil. God Bless you, though. I beleive in your right to your express your beliefs, even if you don't beleive in my right to mine.
How 'bout we just donate Mavs tickets to Al Qaeda? "Redacted?" Simply retarded. The day is coming where real America is going to take this country back from lefties.
To call an American, ant-American is quite contridictory. Some Americans are not content with the status quo, so they speak up and spread their ideas of criticism or of how to affectively change our discredited government. This doesn't make you anti american, it only proves that there are individuals who think for themselves despite the mass propaganda. Who would guess that having an opinion would one day become anti-american, hmmm. thank god we have Bill to tell us how to be top notch americans.
Bob Slidell @ 148:
You must of flunked history. America has been in the hands of far right wingnuts for the past 13 years (Congress), the presidency for 6 years, and the Supreme Court is overwhelmingly conservative. As for the media it's concentrated in five corporations, and the last "liberal" one Time/Warner was sold to a conservative group.
