McGuirk And Gutfeld Discuss Throwing A Prayer Rug At Obama During The Debate

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on September 29, 2012 · Flag

Last night, Bill O’Reilly called on his two regular Friday-night guests, Bernard McGuirk and Greg Gutfeld to give each of the presidential candidates advice for the upcoming debate. McGuirk said Romney needs to use “colorful language” and to take “a couple of cheap shots.” But, McGuirk added, “I’m not saying grab a prayer rug and throw it at the president.” However, Gutfeld – even though he was supposed to be advising President Obama – endorsed the idea. ““I am! I’m suggesting that!” Gutfeld exclaimed gleefully.

As you might expect. Gutfeld’s advice for Obama largely amounted to: Be a Republican. Obama should be “the guy that isn’t interested in getting anything free… Enough with Fluke… No more beach vacations… Be a guy… We want a president, not a camp counselor.” (Fluke-obsessed O’Reilly seized on the moment to relish Gutfeld’s advice to throw her “under a train.”)

Gutfeld continued, “He (Obama) should reject womb to tomb benefits…(tell voters) ‘I was just kidding. The last three years I was just joking. I’m for free markets. I’m for free minds. I think America’s awesome. I think everything that I ever believed in was a mistake.  Occupy Wall Street? That was me. That’s not me any more. I’m sorry. Take me back, America.’”

I actually find O’Reilly’s show toxic when Laura Ingraham hosts – she regularly talks over and interrupts her guests, or takes such a snide tone with them that it’s difficult to get past her bias. This is nothing new for her – she’s been doing the same thing on her radio show for years, usually spouting the current talking points at whatever political or educational figure comes on, and cutting them off when they don’t immediately agree with everything she says. (And usually she’s way off…)

I agree that Fox has been really playing this game of “Stack the Deck Against the Liberal Guest” lately – mostly due to what looks like growing panic about the state of the election. These guys thought they were potentially going to walk into the White House and have a majority in both houses of Congress again. Instead, they’re looking at 4 more years of Obama and at least 2 more of a Dem Senate, along with losing some ground in the House. (In reality, this will actually be good for their business – they do better when they can carp about the people in office rather than agreeing with them all the time.)

The most egregious examples of this have come with poor Joe Trippi, who’s been saddled with a couple of ridiculous situations with Hannity. During one of them this week, he finally stood up for himself, noting that he was being brought on to be the “Washington Generals” and calling Hannity out on not letting him finish his answers after Hannity petulantly yelled at him to hear the whole question first, among other nonsense.

The lightest accepted material for a Prayer rug makes it 4.2 lbs- dry. I donno how much weight it gainst wet, but If it’s rolled or tightly balled, that’s still a fairly heavy projectile. Think about someone who has a good enough arm to have good aim and speed with that weight getting you with that.

Against an acting president? Hello, Secret Service!

The guys think they’re being outrageous and funny when they’re simply being offensive. I’d expect this kind of commentary on a shock jock radio show, which is the normal venue for McGuirk.

After Romney loses the debates, what will they say then? That they “told you so”?

Gutfeld. Proof that the term “shit for brains” actually has validity.

Great idea, Gutfilled.

I’m sure throwing things at the US President will go over well with the Secret Service {remember the response when the Iraqi journalist threw shoes at Dumbya?}


Gutfeld continued, “He (Obama) should reject womb to tomb benefits…(tell voters) ‘I was just kidding. The last three years I was just joking. I’m for free markets. I’m for free minds. I think America’s awesome. I think everything that I ever believed in was a mistake. Occupy Wall Street? That was me. That’s not me any more. I’m sorry. Take me back, America.’”

Yeah — President Obama {who already leads in the polls} should take this advice from a failed wingnut comedian . . .
