Bill O'Reilly: I'm An Independent. I Just So Happen To Find Republicans Sane And Democrats Radical

Bill O'Reilly made a big point of telling us during his Talking Points commentary last night that unlike some people on Fox, he's not a political ideologue. Referring to his upcoming convention coverage, he said, "It will not be The Republicans are good, the Democratics are bad or vice versa. We are not in the business of promoting any political party." No, he just happened to conclude that The Republicans are sane and responsible while the Democrats are kowtowing to extremists and radicals.

Oh, and he also went after Sandra Fluke again. But more on that in a later post.

That said, I'll admit O'Reilly drew some good distinctions between the two parties' campaigns (Republicans argue from the head, Democrats from the heart). And I'd give him a lot more credit if he would just drop the pretense that he's not looking out for Mitt Rommey and that he wasn't just criticizing Democrats but demonizing them. So while O'Reilly's right that he's not a GOP lapdog like Sean Hannity, when the subject is Democrats and liberals, there's just not all that much difference at the end of the day.

Killer O’Reilly Sez

I find Republicans sane because, like me, they let other people tell them what to think!

Bill-O is a pampered elitist who likes to bully people. Creep.

Hereâs an example of the sanity of the Republican Party that Bill must be talking about. As youâre reading the story, see if you can get the sound of a koo-koo clock out of your head.

Tennessee state Rep. Kelly Keisling® is spreading a conspiracy theory to his constituents that claims that President Obama will fake his own assassination to avoid an election against Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

In an email sent from a government email address in his office, Keisling forwarded along a warning that the President and the Department of Homeland Security are potentially working together to try to implement martial law, heading off an election by pretending the President has been killed.

Translation: The Republicans will give ME a tax cut. The Democrats wonât.

Well I’m assuming Bile is talking about the little heads. Republicans think with their litte heads,and we all know what and how the little heads think.

My biggest problem with O’Reilly is that he always presents his opinion as fact! “Only facts are allowed in the no spin zone!” Last night he spent an unusually long time explaining how he was going to cover both conventions the same way. Then, on the eve of the GOP convention he beats on Obama and the Democrats! I suspect it will start exactly the same way before the Democratic convention. LOL

My jaw dropped in amazement when he also said that Republicans are running on facts and Democrats on emotions. He actually does live in an alternate universe, a photographic negative of our reality.

Bildo may at times be slightly less partisan than racist KKKlannity or dull tool Van Suckup. But on Fux Noise, that is like being the skinniest kid at Fat Camp.

I agree, Republicans argue from the head.

If only (hey could take it off their asses.

Republicans are sane? O’Really? It’s sane to invade a country because you “think” they have WMD’s? It’s sane to “think” rape and out-of-wedlock pregnancy are similar? (see Senatorial candidate Tom Smith). It’s sane to “think” that voter fraud is widespread in the United States? Think about that sanely. Why commit a federal crime, when you have nothing to gain from it? Is it sane to “think” President Obama is really not a US citizen, and his mother knew that this child that she had would one day become President? Break the entire birther theory down, it is utter nonsense. But the Republican Party is sane…OK Bill.

Considering the yahoos who’ve been running as GOPers in the past few years, I’d say the last place they’re arguing from is “the head.” When you’ve got morons denying any evidence of global warming or climate change, that’s NOT “the head.” When you’ve got a GOPer claiming that women who are raped don’t get pregnant because the body shuts down, that’s NOT “the head.” (In fact, take any anti-choice argument, and you’re not arguing from “the head.”) When you’ve got people clamoring against marriage equality using the Bible as “evidence,” that’s NOT “the head.” When you’ve got GOPers claiming that Obama wanted to institute “death panels” as part of his health care program, that’s NOT “the head.”

Maybe the GOP argued from “the head” at one time, but not the current flock claiming to be GOPers. They’re arguing as much from “the heart” as Democrats ever did. The only real difference is that the GOPers are putting their “hearts” into taking away people’s social lifelines (something which “the heart” should fervently support).

There isn’t much difference between Bill O’Reilly and Tony Soprano, either. They’re both fictional thugs that do whatever the hell they want because they basically own the law locally, and the one person they answer to is suspected of owning it regionally.

Bill even admitted he could get the police misappropriated on his behalf- look it up.
