I’m sure there will now be endless hearings on this matter in Congress. Another hunt for missing information that isn’t missing. In a related note: I saw an interview with Mitch McConnell on CNN in which he proudly proclaimed that he doesn’t use a gov email account because he has never in his life sent an email! It’s not clear if he even understands what email is, but it was clear that he is very proud of himself nonetheless.

My racist wing relatives are eating up this ‘story.’ I used to try to engage them about the information they weren’t getting from distraction stories like this. But they are so hopelessly uninformed that its just not possible to discuss anything they haven’t seen on Fox. If I mention it I’ll just get a blank look with the comment “I haven’t seen that.” They don’t even bother to try saying “that’s not true,” anymore. They know they are not getting the whole truth and that’s how they like it.

WTF? “Obama is incapable of learning.”
Leaving out, almost all the information about this story that might inform the viewer, Fox sticks to its winning formula of fear mongering, insults and verbal attacks on the president. It must be really hard coming up with fresh insults each day. Fox is merely a cult of hatred at this point.

How embarrassing, Graham can’t name any of these Muslim advisors. I’m concerned that even though Bill rightly suggests that they have every right to be involved in government, he still would like to publicize their names to his loony tunes audience.

Tom Dean: If one only listens to the right wing news sources-rather than the president’s actual speeches- it WOULD seem as if Pres. Obama has done nothing but criticize the USA since he became president. In fact, I have heard him say many wonderful things about his country, and the fact that it is only in the USA that he could aspire to the presidency. But in order to hear these things, your wife would have to want to listen and make up her own mind.

Bill needs to read up on the definition of holy war. Holy Wars are fought by two radical and opposing theologies or in defense of a particular faith. The USA, a nation made up of many faith groups, simply can’t engage in a holy war. But maybe Fox is advocating for theocracy after all. This is silly nonsense. I hope they get a new news meme going tomorrow, the “Obama won’t blame Islam” meme seems thoroughly played out.

Stewart makes people laugh and O’Reilly enrages them. So it’s just a little different. Sometimes O’Reilly makes us laugh, but laughing at someone is different than laughing with them. This segment doesn’t prove liberal media bias but it does show us that O’Reilly still wants to be Most Popular Boy at school. Thanks for the laughs O’Reilly!

So the big concern is not whether the country would be in any danger if Homeland Security is not funded, but who would be blamed for it.

It is also true that there are a number of Americans who simply will continue to watch Bill O’Reilly, no matter how ridiculous his commentary becomes. Congrats to you, Bill, on continuing to search for new lows in whatever it is that you do.

Our military protect us in many important ways to be sure, but it’s hard to see a direct connection in which the military protects individual liberties such as the first amendment. It is more accurate to see the protections of free speech coming from those who actually engage in free speech which challenges the status quo, such as protestors who stand up to our own government and other entitities, at risk of their own lives and freedom. Ironically freedom of speech is not an absolute right of those currently serving in the military.

So the Vermont segment was a joke segment!?! And in right wing world, the way you make a joke is to humiliate and insult other people. But how do we differentiate the insults that are jokes from the insults that are O’Reilly’s usual ‘news commentary’? Hmmm I’m getting the impression that it’s all a joke to O’Reilly.

Like Islamophobia, Christianphobia would be caused by the backlash to radical ideas among the faithful. Islamophobes keep telling us “good” Muslims should shout down the “bad” Muslims at every opportunity.
If Republi-Christians feel their beliefs are under attack, they should probably look in the mirror, they will see some crazy sh*t staring back at them. Indeed it is every moderate citizen’s duty to try to shout down the crazy and stupid that gets a pass because it is called ‘religion’—of any faith.
For the Christians the radical ideas are the anti-science attitudes toward women’s reproduction, evolution and the environment, scapegoating of the poor, sanctification of the wealthy, gun fetishizing, warmongering…Their radical religio-politics deserves all the scorn we can muster.

Hmm. Bill O’Reilly, while discussing how he had no part in spreading a lie about France, tells a different lie about France. Fox and O’Reilly -they just couldn’t tell so many lies without intending to.

Bill surely wasn’t looking for dialogue here. In fact, I’m sure his audience would prefer to see Bill engage in a sword fight with his Muslim guests. But Bill is old and has to maintain a facade of having a ‘news’ show so Bill’s verbal attack will have to satisfy the blood lust of his audience for today.

Attempting to reframe the conversation from a fight for minority civil rights to “protesters dislike America” and making the case that since black people and neighborhoods aren’t perfect, they simply cannot complain about anything – these are hallmark of O’Reilly and Fox. They are the lowest form of commentary.
But I would love to ask O’Reilly if a ‘noble’ nation tortures its enemies, what makes it noble?

Fox appears to know nothing about hungry people in this country. Their attempts to promote filling kids with junk food are simply desperate, brainless political drivel.
Kids whose families can’t afford to pay for their lunches are not going to have healthy food choices at home. They are going to be eating the cheap junk food (like pizza) that their parents can afford, and will not be getting expensive fruits and veggies.
