O'Reilly runs interference for Obama

Posted on 09/16/2009 6:00:14 PM PDT by Danno

Anyone watching Factor tonight? (09/16/2009)...O'reilly absolved Obama as having no connection with ACORN and painted the conservative media (as he put it) as seizing on this issue solely to bring the president down...

Right when I jump back in the water with O'Reilly he shows his penchant for horsesh*t masquerading as objectivity.

BOR is a shameless self-promoter. His only agenda is BOR.

BOR is a self-serving ass who goes against the grain when it serves his agenda even when the grain runs absolutely true.

BOR feels the heat from Beck.

BOR’s ratings are good though.

Once BOR went against the Swift Boaters but never backed up his opinions with any evidence, he jumped the shark.

I’ve never really watched BOR. I always knew what he was. A leftist, womanizing jackass, masquerading as a conservative.

Yeah... O’Reilly suprisingly sees few Obama-ACORN connections other than Obama being an attorney 13 (?) years ago....

So... can somebody point to a collection of Obama-ACORN connections / affiliations / cooperations etc.

Obama’s guest Monica Crowly rattled off several.

I hope, for his own sake, that O’Reilly checked to make sure there’s no video of him (O’Reilly) talking about Obama’s deep connections with ACORN.

O’Reilly is constantly trying to distinguish himself from the “conservative pack.” He’s more interested in trying to appear independent and thoughtful than in the truth.

So let me get this straight BOR. Obama has absolutely NO CONNECTION to ACORN and had nothing to do with their rise to power. If you can sell THAT BS O’Reilly, you can sell refrigerators to Eskimo’s!

The ABC news tonight gave a several-minute report on the ACORN affair. Incredibly, they said that Fox News had been running videos for several days. Why would ABC mention Fox News? They didn’t criticize Fox. It was as though they were citing it as a source.

BOR should start watching FOX news. He seems to be in a little world of his own invention. He’s so arrogant and has no idea how stupid he comes off.

Has he never seen the obama speeches to his ACORN pals where he promises them influence in his administration?

Maybe he meant that Obama has no connection with the prostitution and tax counseling that ACORN offices have been recently busted over.

And, to be fair, he would be right.

It seems that many in the network newsrooms didn’t even KNOW about the ACORN tapes and story!!!

BOR always plays it down the middle...”fair and balanced” is another way of saying, I need ratings and I don’twant to lose..if Obama comes out on top...well..

He’s not a phony, he is hedging his bets..problem is he isn’t up front about it.

O’Reilly would sell out his own mother to get another interview with Zippy.

He never ceases to brag about getting the only Fox interview with Zip during the campaign.

No, he stated it in general terms...said he simply was hired as an attorney for them back in 1995. When Crowley and some others pointed out that he made statements promising them a seat at his table in the administration, giving him conusel, O'Reilly gave mild ascension to it. It was also pointed out by Morris that Obama campaign gave 880K to ACORN O'Reilly told Morris you couldn't blame them for doing that, wouldn't Morris do it also if he knew they were going to promote him? Morris did a double take and said 'of course not', that he'd step away from them and all of the illegality of that as far as he could.

He absolutely said it was OK for Obama to give ACORN over $800,000 to help his election.

Doesn’t O’Reilly know or care that ACORN, a 50c(3) organization is tax exempt because it isn’t supposed to engage in partisan politics.

Am I wrong here?

Your statement made me think, all the people who
talk with him should decide they would rather go on
with Beck. So eventually, O’Reilly is just sitting
there all by himself and perhaps once a week he could
get those idiots to come on and play that trivia game!!

Gee, no guests on O’Really?

Well, a full hour of the Culture Quiz, which half the audience has no clue what the questions mean because they are not old enough. Then, we could do sixth grade level body language studies that ultimately are meaningless, but O’Really seems to enjoy them.

Or we could have more interesting word meaning lessons given by the big boobed woman with the Russian accent—always a good source for learning English!

Maybe we could just listen to that Hoover woman cackle her brains out.

Or listen to the racist Dr, Lamont “I’ve got it in for Whitey” Hill. He has a PhD, you know—it stands for “Putting Honkies Down”.

Time remaining? We can fill it with Bill reading letters to him that praise his unique boldness and freshness and contributions to humanity.

Or just play clips of him incessantly talking over his guests.

After this week’s three shows I realize I can’t even watch him even for his guests anymore.

We watch Beck and Hannity, although Hannity just doesn’t have the intellectual power I’m looking for.

The show I am beginning to like most of all? Greta! What is this world coming to? But she has Rush on a lot and likes Palin, so she has gotten better in my book.

BOR simply doesn’t know when to shut his pie hole. I really like Dennis Miller & the Miller Time segment. Unfortunately, O’Reilly is yapping about seventy-five percent of the time. Like that asshole Obermann he’s intoxicated by his own rhetoric.

Have auto switch to HGTV when BO’s show comes on but it didn’t work tonight so just happened to hear the exchange with BO agreeing with Colmes that Obama is not guilty. He needs to go. Have sent tons of emails to FOX with no response. O’Reilly is not welcome in my home unless Laura is on and taking his place.
