Glenn Back takes the same position on newspaper announcements — he thinks it means Obama has to have been born in Hawaii.
He uses his show now to ridicule Arpaio and his ‘posse’.
As for O’Reilly, if it won’t boost his ratings, he won’t touch it. So if he does publicize this story it’ll be to ridicule Arpaio and his backers, since he will have concluded in advance that taking the opposite position to Arpaio would be good for ratings.
But now the evidence is so overwhelming it is persuasive to anyone willing to take a look with objectivity in mind.
“Now either Bill O’Reilly is being completely dishonest or he is just stupid”. - jd
I say both are true.
“If I were Joe, I wouldnt spend one second of my life trying to correct the asshat OReilly.
We all need to spend less time worrying about and responding to the press and do our own citizen journalism.
No one owns me. Someone owns OReilly, and its name is $$.
Joe would never get a word in edgewise on OReillys show. No one else does, I dont know why he would treat Joe and differently.”

I think that’s a great idea. I think Greta has had her eyes opened in the last few years, perhaps because of her friendship with Sarah. If I had to trust someone at Fox, it would be Greta.
Somehow, I don't she'll go there either. A shame - this could be the biggest story ever if pursued by a credible journalist (if there are any out there). Just because he's the first "black" president, doesn't give him the right to put one over on the American people.
Bullsh*t. I watched Sheriff Joe's press conference. It was heavy on allegations and light on actual evidence. Nonetheless, Arpaio is a duly-elected law enforcer, not Orly Taitz. If he has evidence of a crime, he needs to do something about it. If he doesn't, then he was just blowing smoke.
Get Obama arrested and convicted and I'll admit I was wrong the whole time.
Why are you posting here. I thought it stopped being fun. Should we post your old Fogbow post? Maybe this one:
Your post on Fogbow Wed Dec 22, 2010.
“Since my ears are on fire Image I’d like to clarify. It was more than DADT. It was Jim’s increasing “my way or the highway” tone that precipitated my throwing in the towel. If you didn’t toe the line to Jim’s vision of “conservative” -a vision that requires adherence to beliefs that have no real chance of ever again being embraced by a majority of American voters, then, in his eyes, you weren’t a “true” conservative and didn’t belong on Free Republic. As such, the place turned into an echo chamber of sycophants and boot-lickers where the only discourse permitted was what parroted the party line —whether or not these beliefs had any basis in reality. This shut down any meaningful discussion on certain issues while at the same time empowering a small group of truly vile bottom-feeders to appoint themselves Jim’s “enforcers”, baiting long-time Freepers into revealing they they disagreed with the political and cultural vitality of Jim’s vision of conservatism and then cheering when they got banned. When I had to tip-toe around what I posted out of fear of crossing the line and getting zotted, it was no longer fun to participate on Jim’s forum. And if it isn’t fun anymore, then why bother?
And then there are professional reasons. I’m now an E6 in the Navy. This means I’m going to find myself in positions of leadership where I will have to mentor and counsel junior sailors, some of whom might now be openly gay and others who have deep-seated personal and/or religious convictions against homosexuality. I need to be fair and respect the rights of both these groups of sailors and will have a difficult time doing so while avidly posting on a site that has increasingly embraced as the officially sanctioned viewpoint the anger and hatred once reserved for places like Stormfront. And I think this ugly, angry tone that FR has officially embraced saddens me the most.
I’ll miss posting over there but it stopped being fun a long time ago. The forum Jim wants will be the one he gets and if he has decided that the road to conservative victory lies in birtherism and gay-bashing, then it was time for me to part company.”
Please call Sheriff Joe and ask him to call Bill O’Reilly.
Sheriff Joe (602) 876-1801
And ask him to have the POSSE ask Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid if they saw a birth certificate when they certified Obama’s eligibility. And why did they send a separate version of the eligibility certification letter to Hawaii? Were they aware that there might be a problem? What did they know and when did they know it.
You are correct in that anyone can get a birth announcement placed in the paper. Happens everyday where I’m from. In NJ, where they are corrupt to the core, I can post anything I want. Sometimes you don’t have to pay.
We had a call in numbers for men’s league softball(and other sports). We would call in the score and give some details. It was all printed in the major newspaper the next morning. We would sometimes give some names of ficticious people or some lesser players as having done well. it would be printed without question. For laughs we gave scores and stats for games that never occurred. We would have a ball at their expense. The A C Press is not the biggest paper but it is not small town either.
Call in a birth announcement for a William O’Reilly then fax him a copy of the paper.
Better yet, call Sheriff Joe and ask him when he will begin a criminal investigation on Obama or was this just all a publicity stunt to help his buddy sell some books?
Why not? That would at least put to rest the issue of whether or not anyone can simply phone in a birth announcement.
So instead of actually addressing my question, you post a completely irrelevant post from a site I posted to maybe a dozen times over a year ago?
Typical birther avoidance strategy.
Your question was insincere. It was already addressed in the press conference (which was pointed out), so if it really matters beyond that, this is not the place to be asking what happens next, unless Sheriff Joe is a member and posts here.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio was elected to enforce the law. That is his job. If he has solid evidence of criminal wrongdoing, he needs to do something about it. If not, he is derelict in his duties and needs to be removed from office and replaced by someone who will uphold law and order.
If I was a betting man, my money would say Sheriff Joe ain't gonna do a damned thing because he knows he doesn't have any real evidence, only allegations, and this was nothing more than a publicity stunt to please a group of constituents.
Honestly, I'd love to be proven wrong on this but I doubt I will be.
Put down the crack pipe.
"you post a completely irrelevant post from a site I posted to maybe a dozen times over a year ago?"
Au contraire, that place is Obama central. You appeared quite comfortable there. So comfortable in fact, that you bashed Free Republic several times. Seriously, I think you'd feel more comfortable there. That's where your zotted "insanity squad" is located.
"Jims vision of conservative -a vision that requires adherence to beliefs that have no real chance of ever again being embraced by a majority of American voters, then, in his eyes, you werent a true conservative and didnt belong on Free Republic."
Again, why are you here? I'm pretty sure Jim's vision of a conservative is still the same as it was over a year ago.
