O’Reilly: The ObamaCare Battle Is ‘Capitalism vs. Socialism’
Fox Talking Points Memo ^ | July 23, 2014 | Bill O’Reilly

Posted on 07/23/2014 11:37:03 PM PDT by ri4dc

O’Reilly characterized ObamaCare as “a pure income redistribution play,” a hallmark of socialism.

“President Obama and the Democratic Party want to put as much money into the hands of the poor and less affluent as they can, and health care subsidies are a great way to do just that,” he explained.

As those funds for subsidies are taken from businesses and affluent Americans, O’Reilly said our country is now moving toward socialism and will suffer economically if the entitlement culture expands.

Now Ted gets it. He also admits that most people don't (or won't) get it, and socialism is our ship of state's course and setting. No, he knew this all along and helped enable it, as far as I am concerned. Every LIV should watch this, but few will, and fewer will care.

LIVs are brainwashed to avoid the evil Fox News.

O'Reilly described the situation as one strawman vs. another. He oversimplified the discussion because he has no respect for an audience that is dumb enough to think that he is anything more than just a clown posing as a conservative.

There. That should cover every topic past, present, and future discussed on his show.

That Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly [aka Ted Baxter] finally understands the purpose behind ObamaCare, I say bravo. For BOR, even a stopped clock is accurate twice a day. It only took BOR five years to figure it out! Bill needs to listen more and blather less. When he does blather, make it count.

Oh really? So the BOR finally is willing to say what people have known for the last 6 and a half years. This dolt was busy denying all of it before.

Who knows maybe he will come around to thinking that O has some kind of bizarre love affair with islam and the mussie brotherhood

As the wise and knowing Mr. John Mclain once said, “Welcome to the party, pal!”.

Is BOR still on the air? I stopped watching him a couple of years ago when he got gun control issues so very wrong.

BOR is the poster boy for bloviating on all the wrong things.

I also quit watching most talking heads, going on 15 years. I read transcripts just to provide myself more evidence of how stupid (or complicit) they are. But when someone on the boob tube openly admits that socialism is the force behind the uniparty, I consider it worth mentioning. Socialism’s rise in this country is not something I read anybody saying on TV regularly. I think it should be shouted from the roof tops daily until zombie people start to notice there’s a problem.

A bit late and he forgot the crony capitalism piece. Insurance companies are increasing rates & copays while decreasing overages and deciding who gets life- saving drugs. Patients can see their hospitals and clinics shrinking, but they can’t see who is growing by leaps and bounds. Of course, this is just a logical calculation based on my equation. I am sure they will come out in rags crying about their poverty.

To finish my rant.. I cannot believe any state that can use a calculator thought they were getting a good deal. Are there still some states using the abacus to calculate their budgets? That would certainly explain a lot. Maybe we need a Department of Homeland Abacus Division to help regulate them. /rant off.

When BOR asks a question, the person should answer, “I don’t know. What do you think?”

After all, BOR is just going to interrupt the answer and say what he thinks anyway, so you might as well just cut to the chase.

Doncha love how BOR tells a “guest”, “I’ll give you the last word,” then after they give the last word, he tries to rebut them again?

He’s a real piece of work.

It has gone on for so long, they figure incremental additions won’t be obvious; they mis-judged with ObamaCare because there was too much damage evident too quickly. When Romney mentions 47%, keep in mind that it was probably at least 40% before Obama ever took office; that is why there is a Democratic Party in the first place.

If Ted Baxter couldn’t recognize comrade obamatollah wasn’t planning to implement communism/socialism from the very start, he’s not very bright.

Anyone willing to put that post turtle back on top of the post once he falls?

Remember how he lectured the Tea Party for calling Ob a socialist?

Pray America wakes up
