Bill OReilly continues his assault on those who believe the President of the US should be constitutionally eligible. In his show last Wednesday he slandered those who want Obama to provide real proof he was born in the US by aligning them with Truthers, the far right, and Ron Paul and John Birchers. I guess Im pretty representative of most who want the matter settled. Im none of those things.
OReilly had Karl Rove and together they demonstrated a remarkable degree of ignorance on the issue and a remarkable degree of bigotry towards fellow Americans. OReilly started the show by attacking a recent poll that showed 50% of Republicans question Obamas eligibility. He then quoted from another poll taken in April last year that he claimed confronted the findings of the more recent poll. For the sake of the argument, Ill concede OReillys claim that the later poll was inaccurate. (sample very small at 400 people). However if the only other poll he could find was from April 2010 he wasnt looking very hard.
Recent polls even if you want to argue their methodology and figures, still show an increasing amount of doubt in the US as to Obamas Constitutional eligibility. According to a recent (Jan 14-17 2010) Wenzel Strategies poll, when asked if they consider Obama a legitimate president, 32.6 percent of respondents said no, and another 15.8 percent said they were not sure. Barely half of the voters, 51.5 percent said they do consider Obama a legitimate president .

DeMint on the subject:
“I may have disagreements with [the president] on issues...But he is my president, he deserves our respect, and we need forget that nonsense ...He is not only a citizen, he is our president.”
This is why I no longer watch his show.
Hannity talkin about birther issue now!

Every member of the Supreme Court, every member
of congress, every member of the Joint Chiefs, most members of the DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and
state run media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, Fox and print news, knows that Barack Hussein Obama
does NOT meet Article II Section I constitutional requirements for the office he holds. By his own biography, there is NO way he can pass the test. The hard evidence is so far beyond overwhelming, it is ridiculous.

But not ONE member of Americas most powerful people will dare confront Obama and his anti-American cabal
on the subject. The Constitution does NOT stand.

Half of the people you expect to stop this insanity
are quiet co-conspirators in the silent coup.
The other half is paralyzed by fear, motivated
only by political self-preservation.

Americans keep asking what they can do because
they see that none of their leaders are doing
anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. Its the right question, because those leaders
are NOT going to stop this thing.

I quit watching or listening to Mr. B(lowhard)ill ‘O’ well over two years ago. I have found him to be a major ‘pinhead’ and his credibility factor has plummeted over the past few years im my opinion. He has become a not to be taken very seriously character of himself ever since. Go blow that Bill ‘O’bnoxious.
Now that Sarah Palin has joined the O’Reilly - Rove axis I’m thinking that we may have found the ‘common denominator’: Fox News.
Could be that good old Roger Ailes has swallowed the COLB Kool-Aid and has laid down the law.
I said too that him going to Cairo, his pals like Ayers, code pink over there, then it all seemed to big a coincidence and that I bet obama went over there to talk to some others who we do not know about and the question for me is who did he talk too and why did he pick that one city in the world to go to .
That city is now in turmoil and our ally is overthrown
no way was that a coincidence
Yeah, well sounds like there has been some kind of edict sent out somewhere. Y’know all these politicians need to say is-
“it is a Constitutional requirement that a President be born in the US, and given all that there is is a couple of old newspaper advertisements and a COLB, he should produce his long form to satisfy those who have legitimate doubts.”
What the hell is wrong with that??????
Rush is right. O’Reilly is Ted Baxter.
I may have disagreements with [the president] on issues...But he is my president, he deserves our respect, and we need forget that nonsense ...He is not only a citizen, he is our president.
DeMint is not the brightest bulb in the closet. Years ago, when he was my local Representative, the database containing the names of possible terror suspects was hacked into. I wrote to him demanding an investigation into the matter as to how this could be allowed to happen. I explained to him the facts of the case. The break in was the result of the IT department failing to update a security patch in Windows. The security flaw was known to IT professionals 6 months prior, and 3 months prior there was a well publicized virus that exploited the flaw. He wrote back that he contacted the IT department of the agency ( I can't remember which one - I think it was State ), and they assured him no data was compromised. I wrote back to him pointing out the security flaw allowed total admin privileges, so log files could be changed so there would be no trace of what was done. But the main point of my letter ( both the first and second ) was why the IT department did not update the patch when the alert first came out 6 months prior, or after a major virus had hit 3 months prior that took advantage of that flaw. I told him at least the security manager should be fired over that. He wrote back with the EXACT form letter he sent me previously saying that the IT department assured him no data was compromised - TOTALLY IGNORING the incompetence of the IT staff that allowed the breach to occur. Like I said, DeMint is not the brightest of bulbs.
Orielly will regret selling out and not “watching out for the folks”!
Hahah.. well, why not? We could probably splice in a bit of microfilm with his birth announcements too.
This issue is more than just the BC issue. BOR & Rove do not understand that? I do not watch BOR and I think I am going to stop watching Hannity.
I would much rather channel the birther enthusiasm instead in a more constructive direction, such as what Sarah Palin has decided to do.
The birther issue shall not be forgotten, its timing is actually the most effective method of using it.
The more we actually do become silent on it is when the pundits and the MSM have to run with it, they have no choice, its like a song stuck in their head playing over and over.
By their own paranoia driven ideology they would fear it more when the majority suddenly goes quiet on it.
if you or I decided to practice medicine without proper credentials, we’d be closed down in an instant and sent to prison....wait a second, I may have hit on something....there’s a nice federal prison in Terre Haute Indiana.....Obama could become a Hoosier !!!!
Wow
