"Man of the People" O'Reilly dumps on kids, then dismisses job-creation ad
You know Bill O'Reilly's in prime form, as he was Friday night, when he kicks off his Talking Points Memo segment calling Paul Krugman a "quasi socialist." Whee! It's all a rapid downhill shot from there.
The best part (in the same way careering, Calvinlike, in a high-speed toboggan off the cliff's edge and into the yawning abyss below is "the best part") came when discussing Obama's education programs:
O'Reilly: And gazillions more dollars will flow into America's schools. What good this will do I don't know, because if the kids walk around all day with iPods in their ears and rings in their noses, money simply won't matter.
Ah, going for that youth vote again, right? Well, at least O'Reilly has enough sense to recognize, even dimly, when he sounds like one of those fist-shaking old geezers on the street corner:
Now, Talking Points knows he's a mean guy. Criticizing the kids, come on, how can I do that? Whining about paying other people's bills when I'm a rich guy? That's just downright mean, is it not?
Well, that's the far left is portraying it. Listen to this new commercial from some progressive loons:
[Americans United for Change ad, "Americans Won't Take No For an Answer":
An economy in crisis. A president determined to act. But what did congressional Republicans say to President Obama's jobs and recovery plan? [Video: Mitch McConnell] "No." What did they say to 3.5 million jobs? [Video: John Boehner] "No." What did they say to tax cuts for 95 percent of working Americans? [Video: Eric Cantor] "No."
So who are Republican leaders listening to?
[Video of Rush Limbaugh: "I want him to fail."] ...
Well, that's what passes for debate these days on the far left -- running down anyone with whom they disagree. But as Talking Points said last night, President Obama is taking an enormous gamble, one that will affect all our lives. He has audacity, no question. But the outcome is still mostly hope.
Don't you just love it when Democrats attack Republicans for their public positions on policy and it gets dismissed by the BillOs of the media circus as somehow being too personal -- they're just "running down anyone with whom they disagree"? Evidently, stating the reasons you disagree with them is too much for their sensitive souls to bear.
...bitter pill for the GOP to swallow.
Bill O'Reilly is about as relevant my my TV Weatherman.

i thought about sending you an e-mail recommending you shove a big, black dildo up your @$$... but i figured you probably already have that covered!
(why do you keep making us do this, bill?)
Bill talks just to hear Bill talk. It doesn't matter to Bill'O-job that Obama is putting money into schools, he would complain either way. If Obama didn't put that much money into our schools he would simply say Obama is not investing in our childrens education, but since he is putting the money into our schools he has to say Obama is wasting money giving it to our schools.
With these brainless GOPers it's a no-win situation.
He did the Government a favor, reminding his slavering hordes that they will probably benefit from Obama's re-New Deal. Ha.
Billo is sounding like McCain... out of touch and blaming it on ipods and noserings... just like them olden days when those hippies were running around with long hair and peace signs. Or like when those young kids were dancing the watuzie (sp). I hope this time our generation will get it right.
I sure hope Rupert Murdoch has provided mental health coverage with his health insurance plan. O'Reilly talks like "Talking Points" is a real person, but obviously it is one of his multiple personalities that either needs some heavy medication and deep therapy. The man is dilusional.
on his audience as well as opponents. It's like an addiction people can't kick.
not so handy with the ol' boomerang, in his advanced age.
they keep coming back and smacking more wrinkles on his lumpy old head!
he's getting laid, more money then 75% of the planet combined will ever see in their entire lifetimes.
Only way is to stop indulging in his programing.
unless you're referring to an unwilling dingo!

Just askin'
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"

Well, I guess since their training starts with how to kill people and they frown on noserings, colorful hair, independent thinking, compassion, homosexuals, accountability, etc., there's nothing really wrong with the military.
Should be changed to Nihilist Talking Points Meme.
'We, the People'............rimshot................hahahahahaha!
"far left runs down anyone that disagrees with them"......um Billo you brilliant old speck of crap.....so does the far right. Dems run down Reps, and Reps run down Dems. Oh the humanity! This never happened before. Just wow.
This game is all about divide and conquer and driving wedges in between the bottom 98%.
One does wish that at least once when a progressive is accused by O'Reilly and others on the right of being a dreaded socialist that he or she would finally answer back by announcing that:
"Yes, I am a socialist and proud of it."
Unfortunately so many of them are practically quaking in their shoes of a label that they instead should be most proud of being.
a problem.
Evet
I would like to, if I may, take issue with that. Socialism [not Stalinism which too many conservatives and even liberals conflate with socialism] is concerned with helping the needs of the average working class person. Capitalism on the other hand is intent upon keeping wealth in the hands of the very few with little regard for the working class citizen. Back in the early part of the twentieth century a socialist named Eugene V. Debs continually fought for the needs of the working class American. He even garnered a million votes in one presidential election while serving a prison term for the heinous crime of speaking out against the U.S. fighting in The Great War.
Unfortunately, the prospect of another Eugene V. Debs receiving a million votes in another presidential election today are exceedingly slim as both the Democrats and the Republicans would make sure that a socialist candidate would never be in the position of threatening to make inroads against the power that they wield with the help of the big corporations in this country [as evidenced by the many millions of dollars that they-the financial/insurance/pharmaceutical companies-contributed to the campaign of that pseudo socialist, Barack Obama].
The older I get the more socialist I become. It should be the other way around. Now, after years of conservative mismanagement in my home province and the country at large I can now say that I am a very proud progressive LIBERAL socialist. I have come to this point in my life because of the corruption of the right, the lies and downright nastiness of the right.
I even wrote about in The Washington Monthly back in 2001.
Raised in a staunch GOP household, saw the light and moved steadily and inexorably leftward.
Couldn't be happier. That's what being reality-based will do for you.
Facts, ma'am, have a liberal bias.
I am great supporter of market capitalism. Not the neo-liberal school of thought that dominates the American economic system; but, the German school of thought Ordoliberalism.
.."Bill O the clown hates my point of view and I'm damn proud of that!"
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
I am beginning to believe that Bill-O is sounding more and more like that Prothero character from V for Vendetta.
As for the youth...well he's just upset because (to paraphrase David Bowie) they're immune to his consultation.
Spit on the youth, Bill. They will grow up and show you to be the bitter mouthpiece of vanity.
your a failure! That's what all capitalists will say.
I remember being a kid. The crazy right wing loons back in the 80s used to accuse us of worshipping satan for playing Dungeons and Dragons. They would come on the TV and try and convince our parents that we we're at risk for suicide for wearing high top tennis shoes.
Satan and suicide that is what your kids are into.

That was when Elvis was leading a whole generation to hell. Good man that Elvis was. I saw him the other day.

of what people?The top 2%? That would not be the majority.
When they talk about the majority of people they are talking about the people with the majority of money.
the majority of the economic power on this planet and thus pull the strings.
they are desperate.
some of the Middle School and High School classrooms here down town Austin! Kids packed so tight in classrooms that the teachers can barely walk around to help individuals. We have FOUR four-year-old Dell work stations for sixteen kids (and also the TA's who are supp-osed to check e-mails every day.) Some times a kid will wait for AN HOUR to get fifteen minutes of Internet time. Teachers in my building have to WALK A QUARTER OF A MILE to get to a photo-copy machine!
FINALLY, there might be some new federal money coming foR public schools... and Billo has the AUDACITY to BITCH about it with a petty HISSIE-FIT. WHAT AN ASS HOLE!
Bottom line.

Reagan started this attack on public schools. Bill O is just one of these assholes that still thinks Reagan was a god (watch your back Bill O; the bible says that you will be struck down for worshippping false gods).
The fact is that schools have many other problems including, for example, poor indoor air quality (due to poor maintanance and overcrowding), which itself leads to lower test scores; and fairly easily rectified with some renovation of the HVAC systems which is quick stimulous for the economy.
Bill O, hopefully there is a just God who has a little bit of vengefulness in him for dicks like you.
the only audience left for them must be the Super-Conservative Fat White Wealthy Business-Class Who Voted Republican...
And Obama's RAISING THEIR TAXES!! How fitting!
Hate to break the news to you, Billo, but like SENATOR Al Franken before me, someone has to explain to you how the Senate works.
As SENATOR Franken pointed out the 1993 Budget passed without ONE Republican vote. Just as the 2009 budget can pass without one Republican vote. Why? BECAUSE BUDGET BILLS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO A FILIBUSTER, YOU IDIOT!
You would think that after being publicly humiliated on that point by SENATOR Al Franken he'd of learned this by now. But i guess some of us are slower than others.
But the bottom line is that in this case, the Republicans can yell and scream and stamp their feet and they can't do a damn thing to change this bill if the Democrats want it.
EXACTLY!!!

just kidding.
i'd like to shrink grover down until he's so small, he can slip under a urinal cake, then hit power flush!

will meekly line up to pass Obama's budget?
There are at LEAST 10 Dims whose votes I'd regard as unreliable: Carper, Landrieu, Johnson, The Nelsons, Lincoln, Burriss, Dorgan (or Conrad), Loserman, & Rockefeller.
Dorgan is one of Obama's biggest supporters, Lieberman was instrumental in getting the Stimulus bill passed, plus ALL of them would have to line up behind the Repukes (usually don't use terms like that, but since you felt it ok to use the term "dim"....)for them to hurt his chances of it getting passed. Plus, i'm not sure if there's any evidence at all of Burris being a blue dog. You just made that us.
Repeat this over and over until it gets through your head...YOU ARE IN THE EXTREME MINORITY.....YOU'RE IN THE EXTREME MINORITY.....
...is going to construction workers who will rebuild and renovate the schools. Some of it is probably going to hire more teachers, too. What do you have against construction workers and teachers, Bill?
waste the money like they do here.......one town built a beauty new hospital a few years ago......8 floors...state of the art....half is "closed" now because it isn't used and they can't afford it......same with schools...built a brand new one in the town next door.....7 million dollars...half empty because enrollment is down..seems people ain't having kids
Canuck-
There will be some waste. OK? With a Trillion $$$ there will be some waste. It simply cannot be helped. I think the Obama administration will do a much better job than the Bush and Republican Congress did with the money. Over the years the Republicans have let EVERYTHING go to hell in this country so that their rich friend can make more millions that they will never be able to spend. My son's school is so run down that it is unbelievable that it is even standing and they are talking about huge cuts for the rest of the year and bigger cuts for next year. It is insane, meanwhile Blackwater and Haliburton are raking in billions of ill gotten gains. Stay focused here Canuck.
Where is the money to be spent? Do you know? Well, nobody does. There are no shovel ready projects. States and cities have set up websites asking people where to spend the money. I shit you not. This is going to turn out just as predicted. Money money everywhere, stimulating bank accounts, and perhaps the odd job. That is the focus.
If you skim a little bit of "waste" on every level till it hits the ground, very little will be left. States, cities and all municipal governments have shown that they cannot handle money, so the solution is to give them money.

What is WRONG with these people, aside from being on the RIGHT?
once predicted the eventual--and inevitable--collapse of capitalism. This philosopher was vilified by people whose agendas were both selfish and devious. However, for those who have read Karl Marx without a knee jerk "I hate communism!" response, current socio-economic events are not surprising.
Marx recognized that as we humans evolve, we will progress through economic behaviors that mirror our macro-level mental and emotional maturation. Those who denigrate his vision of "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need," are simply not able to grasp the bigger picture he envisioned (let's not argue whether we humans are indeed capable of the kind of spiritual gnosis that could erase hierarchy and greed from our social, political, and economic interactions--why is this vision any less real than our species' current world view?).
Over 6.7 billion people worldwide are competing for Earth's "limited resources." Yet, less than 460 individuals control better than 45% of said resources. THIS is the grim actuality of our world economy. How we define our economic behavior is of no consequence in the face of this blatant inequity.
The world's wealthiest people want the rest of us to remain mired in ignorance and bipartisan bickering. As long as we are complicit in maintaining the status quo (especially, by chasing that ubiquitous and meaningless wealth carrot), the uber wealthy can continue to enjoy the fruits of our labor without ever having to raise a finger.
One final observation: as soon as the corporate megalomaniacs realize that Billo's bloviating is no longer working, he'll be out of a job. Until then, I'll continue to do as I've done in the past: ignore him.
the Harrasturbator, Any truthful, accurate reportage on the Greedy Obstructionist Party when they are exericising Gross Old Plans to wreck the country, is 'running them down'
Christ, can this guy's psychosis (I think we need to turn Dear Leader's words against them all. After all, it is merely projection on Dear Leader's part) is totally off the hook, like his phone when he's trying to have sex with an employee.
me-oww!
Bill is a meaner, rich, not funny, sadder version of Archie Bunker. His brain is incapable of a logical thought. Oh, the irony. Liberals attack with facts and Bill sends out his lackey with a hand held camera to ask illogical really stupid straw man questions. Pathetic.
Nose rings are clearly subverting our public education efforts.
Billo, Billo, Billo.....only the hopelessly old and unhip and out of touch genuinely believe that nose rings, wild hair color, and general subcultural wildness are actual impediments to a well-rounded education or to being a good citizen.
People in their teens, twenties, and thirties are rolling their eyes at you right now, ya old coot.

His words are a complete joke.
Holding people and parties accountable for their decisions is not "running them down."
Running them down would be avoiding their decisions on issues and instead focussing on their personal lives, like Republicans did with Bill Clinton.
Or completely making up shit about their personal lives, like Republicans did with John Kerry.
Or connecting them with terrorists, like Republicans did with Max Cleland.
THAT'S running someone over.
