Are Communists (or neo-Communists) Dangerous? Yes, Bill, they are.

On Friday night, O'Reilly and Beck had a back-and-forth about communism (inspired by Beck's takedown of self-proclaimed communist and presidential adviser Van Jones). O'Reilly opined (I hate that word but he likes it, so there it is) that he was afraid of Islamo-fascists but not of communists. Like many Americans, O'Reilly thinks that because the communist party is almost a thing of the past (it exists but is not and will not be big enough to throw its weight around again), the communist idea is dead. It is not.

It's interesting that we have words like "neo-Nazi" to describe post-Hitler Nazis, and "neo-conservative" to describe liberals who left the Democratic Party when it took a sharp turn to the left, but not "neo-Communist" to describe the massive numbers of people on the left -- and among them very influential people -- who share, almost to the jot and tittle, the old communist view of capitalism, and are prepared to act on that perception.

O’Reilly can’t help his stupidity.

Communism is socialism.. and is very democratic..

However; democracy is MOb Rule by mobsters.. always in ever iteration.. completely..

The words democracy and democratic are NOWHERE in the American Constitution ANYWHERE.. ON PURPOSE...

I wish that ego centric maniac would try to take his show on the road for a month over at CNN or MSNBC or try another time slot on FOX to see if he still carried his great ratings.

[stephenjohnbanker]

No, but he is indeed stupid....obtuse....A-Hole.

“Communism is socialism.. and is very democratic..”

Tell that to the “People’s..” of Russia under Lenin rule and
Mao’s “People”.

The body count is still rising, but whose counting.

Are Communists dangerous? Just ask the 100 million people they killed in the 20th century. Oh wait, the dead can’t talk. Nevermind.

TRUE “communism” is perfect...............

That’s why it will NEVER work...You throw the human trait into the mix and it will not be “communism”, but socialism.

The human trait of “greed” will cause true communism to fail at any level. Nothing man can do will change that.

O’Reilly shows himself over and over again to be the proverbial mental midget: he is willing to give an actual Communist (incremental as he is) like Obama a VERY wide berth, as long as he can corral Obama into another interview. With B O’R, the old saw about “only doing it for ratings” is closer to the truth than anyone else on FOX./ His show is absolutely INESSENTIAL viewing and only tolerable in tiny doses when his guests are worth hearing or when Laura Ingraham subs for him.

[jesseam]

Even though he does not realize it BOR is not the brightest bulb on the block. His arrogance gets in the way of reality.

[riri]

Putting danger aside...I don't know Bill do you like living one family to a dwelling? Do you like turning on the faucet and having hot water come out? Do you like having products on the shelves???

BOR needs to go. He's imploding due to his jealousy over Glenn Beck, I think.

Absolutely Right!

I suspected O'Reilly was either an idiot or a communist sympathizer (must be those IRA roots), and now it is confirmed.

He is either a liar, or he is stupid, or he is evil, and it doesn't matter which.

[Natural Law]

I don't watch O’Reilly anymore. His his following the same failed marketing plan that the RINO’s followed. He takes his conservative audience for granted and is trying to expand his numbers by attracting “moderates” and the occasional lefty.

[anymouse]

Neo-Comms. Now that is an appropriate term. Only problem is they always were Communists.

[Just A Nobody]

Why ask stupid questions as an article title?

That trend should be done away with...it is quite annoying.
