Lis Wiehl's false statements on the "O'Reilly Factor" regarding Obama's birth documentation...

Posted on 10/28/2009 7:02:56 AM PDT by MelSmith

On last night's O'Reilly Factor (Oct 27, 2009), Bill O'Reilly sat stupidly while Lis Wiehl made several conspicuously false statements regarding the facts related to Obama's birth documentation. Referring to the "birthers", Ms. Wiehl stated that "It's this whole movement that says that Obama was elected from a bad, unconstitutional point of view because he was not born in the United States. That's been litigated. Congress investigated. His birth document from Hawaii was shown."

First, regarding "That's been litigated" this case has never actually been heard in open court (because the plaintiffs have been denied standing).

Second, regarding "Congress investigated." Does anyone know to what she is referring? Or as that a total fabrication? Does she really think that Barney Frank and Harry Reid have "investigated" this?

Third, regarding "His birth document from Hawaii was shown", Ms. Wiehl fails to mention that what has been shown is purported to be a bona fide copy of Mr. Obama's birth documentation. Furthermore, the validity of that copy is disputed for a number of reasons. (And they never mention the fact that Hawaii issues two types of birth documentation, and that there is an interesting dispute as to which type of birth documentation Mr. Obama has.)

Fox News continues to ridicule people who believe that Mr. Obama's birth records -- that are actually on file in Hawaii -- should be made available to independent document experts for inspection and validation.

My question: are they afraid of this story, or do they simply not understand it at all? I do not believe that Fox is part of a conspiracy or a deliberate cover up. Stupid? Yes. Nefarious? No.

The media (incl FOX) are FORBIDDEN to discuss this topic !

Remember what happened to Lou Dobbs ? Problem is that O’Reilly has a little bit more of an ego than most and appears to be bending over backwards accommodating these “powers to be” to secure his position !

Nothing would please me more than to break this Communist Media Black-out WIDE OPEN !

Exactly. That’s why I’m waiting for him to tear “The big Leprechaun” a new one about this Lis Wiehl BS. (Bill O’Reilly! You there with your big-busted blonde women! What about the long-legged Mack Daddy??!!)

Wouldn’t the proper question be whether BOR is deliberately collaborating seeking to please the One to get him on his show? For a guy who claims to be a truth seeker he seems to be greatly resembling a lady of the night.

Did you ever see this? This is when O'Reilly was on Inside Addition back in the late 80's early 90's. This is when I knew he was a real jerk.

Bill O'Reilly Loses It

I had read(I think on Canada Free Press) some time ago that all the broadcast media were quietly contacted by the Obama people shortly before the election and threatened with the revocation of their FCC licenses if they reported anything that gave credibility to the birth certificate issue.

I had read (i think from the same source) that swinging a dead cat by the tail over your head at midnight in a corn field on the night of the full moon, brings good luck. And I corrected your typo on "credibility"

Stupid? Yes. Nefarious? No.

Yes to Both, i finally came to that conclusion back in Jan/Feb 09 trying to explain away the 'stupidity' aspect.

Everybody at FOX and guests have gotten the marching orders from Ailes or Murdoch???

Not to touch the usurper's sealed records on air, or else......!

The same orders have been given on Premier/Clear Channel and all the other SRM outlets!!Who are these power brokers??

The Free Canadian Press and Intelligence may sit on the answers???

Please encourage people to write O’Reilly to challenge the false statements made by Lis Wiehl. Appeal to his pride and vanity, he has an infinite amount of both, and he may want to actually seek the truth on this story. Just maybe.

I emailed the both of them and ask what they based that on....’That’s been litigated. Congress investigated. His birth document from Hawaii was shown.’

No basis whatsoever. It has NEVER been litigated. Who in congress investigated and what documents and proof? And the long form birth certficate has NEVER been shown.

Bill O'Reilly: '' Birther '' Fined By Judge (from 10/27)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGT6qkq9XHY&feature=player_embedded (not the best "video", but only one I could find at the moment).

Bill O'Reilly To Republicans: Drop The Birther Issue! (from around Aug 3rd).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoY1LzwhhtU&feature=player_embedded

Bill O'Reilly To Birther From Newsmax.com: "Nobody Cares"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMa2akr-H_s&feature=player_embedded
(similar to middle vid).

BOR is a coward on the issue and the two lawyers on his program completely misrepresented most facts and (of course) conveniently left out the fact that Barry's father was a foreign national and Barry (therefore) had foreign citizenship passed on to him (via his father, and ADMITTED by Barry on his campaign web site) and was therefore BORN a dual national (assuming HI birth, which is as of yet unproven).

In the other videos, BOR says "nobody cares." He is either totally delusional or totally afraid of the issue cause that statement is an outright lie.

FWIW... here’s my take on O’Reilly

1) He has been phoning it in...does no homework & little prep

2) He is a little envious of Beck ratings and has nearly been co-oped by Beck...so, relying on his former “top-dog” position, he digs in his heels, plays it safe and hopes the Beck phenom fades away.

3) But...even when he has Beck on his show, he most often plays “grown-up” to Beck’s “crazy uncle in the attic.”

4) Seems like no one is going to go after the “birther” issue until Ailes gives the go-ahead and/or it actually gets into court

5) I think 1, 2, 3, 4 is a mistake on O’Reilly’s part.

#4 is actually where O’Reilly might be able to distinguish himself but that would require much homework on his part and some compelling arguments to present to Ailes.
