Bill O'Reilly likes to say he's an independent but for an independent guy he sure had a lot of negative things to say about President Obama. Besides saying Obama has a "grievance" against white people, he made a big point of making sure we know that a vote for Obama is a vote for far-left loons.
Although O'Reilly's Talking Points last night was purportedly about a MoveOn.org ad he found objectionable, O'Reilly said:
Most Democrats are honorable people, civil, patriotic, well intentioned. But there’s a lunatic fringe that has a lot of say in the Party…
Talking Points is not an ideologue. I vote for the candidate I think will solve the most problems. I’ve voted for people in both parties. But now I’m very uneasy, very uneasy with the direction the Democratic Party is taking. President Obama cultivates some far left people, he doesn’t repudiate them. And he definitely will not repudiate that vile ad you just saw. That makes the president somewhat culpable…
No mention of Donald Trump, the birthers and the rape-fixated GOP candidates!
O’Reilly said that because the “far right” didn’t have much clout at the Republican convention there’s a “vast difference” between the two parties.
The election next Tuesday is a referendum on Barack Obama. Do you want his liberal governance or not? And if you do want it, then you have to accept the far left loons that come along with it.”
This is classic BOR – he fixates on the “far-left” and ignores what’s going on with the other side. He acts as if the far-right (who has got the GOP in Congress shaking in their boots so badly that they have moved sooo far to the right that even Reagan’s stances would be considered too liberal) is simply mainstream conservativism.
He has totally overlooked the right-wing political maneuvers to clamp down on a woman’s right to choose and ignored the legislative moves that are trying to make it so that a woman’s insurance plan doesn’t cover birth control so he can instead make jokes about Sandra Fluke (while completely misrepresenting what she said). BOR has not called out Romney’s debate/campaign lies. He didn’t go after the deceitful Romney campaign ads. Why did BOR send Watters out to interview single women and young people so that they could laugh at them? Because these 2 groups largely support Obama, that’s why. Why didn’t Watters go interview some senior citizens and tea party people so that he and BOR could laugh at their lack of grasp on the issues? Oh hell no, he wouldn’t do that because those folks are largely Romney supporters. Nah, instead he only focuses on going after the liberals/Dems. The list could go on and on but what it comes down to is that BOR does not practice “fair & balanced” analysis as he claims – and he does it by, not only focusing too much on the left, but by deliberately NOT calling out the craziness and lies of the right. It’s what BOR does NOT cover that largely outs his partisianship and biases. To say that Talking Points (himself) does not have an ideological viewpoint is utter bullsh!t.
Btw, BOR and Donald “birther” Trump enjoy hanging out together at the Yankees game. Hmm, what was that BOR said in the above video – something about how people are judged by their associations? Bwaaah!
BOR to Laura Ingraham: “Full disclosure, I know Trump pretty well and we go to some Yankees games together.”
They didn’t have to trot out there “loons” because they were working behind the scenes and baking there looney far-right ideas right into the Republican Platform cake.
Pro-life with NO exceptions.(even the rapey thing)
By the way Billdo, does talking incoherently to an empty chair count as “far-right loonery?”
Thanks for clearing that up for me O’Loofah. Now I know who I belong to.
Just like mlp ! said, it’s desperation time. They’re losing hope and facing reality that their only chance is to rally the Obama haters.
