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.

I do not watch him anymore. Well, maybe if Ann Coulter is on.

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.

I don’t mind Bill 0’Reilly continuing to come on during the 4am - 5am ET timeslot. As long as that’s the only time he airs.

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?

There’s too much entertainment of television posing as news.

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.

I stopped watching him a LONG while ago. Mythbusters reruns are more enlightening.

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

“Jealousy is such an ugly thing.”

Perhaps he’s jealous of everyone and everything.

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.

It is ok. Let him give Obama space to run from ACORN.

That’s fairly clear and unambiguous - if O’R said that, he is off the reservation.
