"If you weren't a lunatic, ninety percent of America would agree with you," O'Reilly said. O'Reilly claimed that the majority of Americans and Democrats do not support withdrawal, and targeting Democrats before they even have had a chance to address anything didn't make sense. The pundit also argued that "far left" activists must believe that Americans are "stupid" since they voted for Bush in two elections. "If the country was the way you were portraying it, you'd be in Guantanamo," O'Reilly told World Can't Wait's Sunsara Taylor. Clip from O'Reilly show:
Bill O'Reilly invited a member of the anti-war activist group World Can't Wait on to his show to discuss why a Democratic press conference had been disrupted on Wednesday, but after arguing about "facts" as opposed to "opinions" the Fox News Channel host called his guest a lunatic.

Thanks for the synopsis - I can't watch this pos. Why isn't he relegated to phone-sex 900 numbers? Shit a brick.
This guy is a colossial breying ass.
Didnt you love the labels O'Reilly used?? "far left" etc etc.. all for his moronic audience.. antiwar = far left
'Tis true.. but he's doing the job he's paid to do.. being a propagandist...
Why isn't he relegated to phone-sex 900 numbers? Think LOOFAH! :P
This fits him rather well also. In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act - - George Orwell Ok, I'll play the Devil's Advocate here. Bill O'Reilly could have been even more nasty to Ms.Sunsara Taylor than he was. The anti-war groups do not have main stream middle America as members. Nevermind her out there flower child first name, Ms. Taylor herself writes for Revolution newspaper ( left of socialist). If you google Ms. Taylor's name one of the first things that pops out is her message to others to gather for a Black Panther meeting. Bill O'Reilly is a POS and his words are all scripted neocon rhetoric but he's got a suit on and he earns millions of dollars each year. If he were not such a prick and a liar, many middle aged middle class Americans would identify with him more so than Ms. Sunsara Taylor. I'm giving everyone the cold hard facts. And Cindy Sheehan as well spoken as she is dresses poorly and looks out there as well. Plus she is a distinct minority of military mothers speaking out against the war. Most military parents are pro Bush and pro the Iraq War. You can read their comments in Free Republic - if they don't have sons in the war, they have nephews or cousins or sons-in-law. Furthermore, many Americans see new recruits signing up even though a war based on lies is raging and they shrug and think to themselves - well, the kids and their parents must know what they're getting into - who am I to stop them... So that's why Bill O can truthfully say Ms. Taylor and her members do not represent Americans.
youre right.. that is why he chose her to be on his show.. He'd NEVER have chosen anyone that truthfully did represent most Americans against the war.. it would have undermined what he was trying to do.. label anyone .. even the average American.. as the list I gave...
Ah yes. Freedom of Speech. We want it, but we won't let you have it. Gotta love the hypocrisy of that sort of action.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe it was SCOTUS that voted Smirk into office the first go-round. In fact hasn't Smirk lost the nationwide popular election twice? And still we keep going to the voting booths, like it makes one iota of difference.

Oh gosh.. those are just little details O'Reilly would best like his audience to forget..
That is exactly WHY people like this are presented to mainstream America as "representative" of those opposed to the war...I am opposed to the war, but I wouldn't want ANYONE to think these guys/gals are part of my circle...ye gads! That is why you will NEVER see an articulate, well-dressed/groomed spokesman for the "anti-war" faction presented on television...it will always be some 'flower child' named 'Blueberry' or 'Sunshine'. Remember the idiot dressed up like a pink condom with a peace symbol painted on his chest on the Golden Gate Bridge the other day? You do your cause a great deal of damage by acting and/or looking like a frickin' clown...that's just the way it is.
what you in man, some kind of vaccum?

Just a man walking the streets. In Seattle and Portland, protestors regularly shout down anyone they disagree with, then complain bitterly if someone even thinks of censoring them. If you can't see it, your eyes aren't open.

Yeah...he has a 'beef' with Joe Scarborogh now too.

OH Mr. NO SPIN ZONE has a problem with Scarborough? I havent read anything about that.. ALSO, after I went back and viewed the video again.. it was SO obvious that Raum Emanuel was full of it.. they didnt 'shout' him down at all he kept stopping at the oddest times. IF he truly wanted to speak he easily couldve THAT entire thing was theater as well IMO!
Why anybody would agree to appear on these "ambush" shows is beyond me. There was a time when an activist could call c-span or a local talk radio show, but that's impossible now. The interruption and deflection that now goes on makes it impossible for me to watch or listen.
True.. Now if you go back and rewatch the video ..play close attention to the beginning and Raum Emmanuel.. and the "mob shouting him down".. it's bullshit JT.
watch the news lately?

That's why, earlier this week, I returned my voter registration card to the county registrar with the instruction to remove my name from the roll until they had real elections, with paper ballots, hand counted in public view at the precinct level in our county. I'm not expecting to be back on the roll anytime soon.
The paper mills are still a booming industry, but it's not for use in ballots. Half of it's product is for IRS forms, and the other half is for buttwipe. Lets see - I guess that makes the paper industry 100% about buttwipe.

Yeah, he went off on NBC a few nights ago and he seemed to target Scarborough w/o mentioning his name. Scarborough had a great rebuttal on his show...lol O'Reilly is really turning into a loon and shill. I hate to admit that I used to like him.

Don't feel embaressed - many of us recovering Bots used to listen to the talking heads at one time or another. I never got "into" BillO but I actually used to hang on every word of Michael Savage - ouch!!! Now I tune into to him once in a while to hear the latest wacky neocon theories about Iran and turrrrrists under our beds. On Friday Savage had a "special report" commissioned specifically for his show by a reporter called Joe Schmo Kline from Tel Aviv - no kidding - it was a riot as this reporter was trying to sound like he was representing BBC News ( probably Savage's nephew). I had a hard time keeping the car straight on the road, I was doubled over laughing so hard. But Savage and his call in guests were totally enthralled with this dweeb from Tel Aviv. ( hey it even rhymes!)
I went over to Freaker Republic a couple days ago to check out the reichwinger take on Clint Eastwood's "Letter's from Iwo Jima"- the movie about that battle from the perspective of the Japanese defenders and the Freakers fully lived down to my low expectatoins of them. Such inciteful commments. They were angered by the fact that the Japanese were portryaed as humans- and not the one dimensional caricatures of pure evil like in 1940's propaganda films. And because the overall message of the film doesn't glorify war- it is therefore "antiwar" and now Clint is suddenly a raging "PC" leftie to the freakers. In reichwinger land- unless you walk around like a lobotomized idiot spouting government pro war slogans - and have a view of war little removed from that of a child playing with plastic army guys in a sand box- you are a "liberal" to these idiots. Damn- 5 years ago that site would have had a lively discussion about such films. Now? Good grief- how pathetic. Reichwinger "conservatism" holds that all things military and all wars (waged by DC) are good- and to opposse anything having to do with the military or its idiotic elective wars is to be a "Far leftist". The rank and file of the mainstream "conservative" movement in this country is filled up with infant minded boobs- who have absolutely no grounding in real conservative political philosophy or thinkers. Their idea of a "thinker" are the cheap rented whore pundits of the DC war/welfare state like Coulter and Hannity. They couldn't be less conservative if they tried.
Given that DC's security organs have a long history of infiltrating "antiwar" groups and given that DOD now runs multi billion dollar psy-ops programs- I simply dismiss much of the "antiwar" movement that appears in our MSM as either government agents or boobs, freaks, and geeks deliberatly funneled money and given press attention to discredit antiwar sentiments. "Antiwar activists" that appear in our MSM are effing freaks. This isn't by accident in my opinion. Fat naked lesbains- boobs down to their belly buttons floppin in the breeze "marching" against the war is how most Americans see the "antiwar" position in this country. It is a deliberate and calculated image planted in the popular conscience.
And just where do you think O'Reilly got the idea from?
