O'Reilly calls the opposing position "extreme," but such gun confiscation is illegal under federal statute,

`He's a gun grabber. Guns scare him unless they're in the hands of a qualified central government storm troooer.

I’m still trying to figure out what Beck is doing teaming up with this guy.

There is a sure fire way to deal with the likes of Bill O'Reilly! When he comes on press either the OFF button on the remote or any one of those buttons that lead to another channel!

That's what I do and it works wonderfully well!

He supports gun bans during the very circumstance we’d need them most. With this logic, we should allow fire extinguishers, but ban their use in a fire.

“[The Second Amendment’s] central purpose is to arm “We the People” so that ordinary citizens can participate in the collective defense of their community and their state. But it does so not through directly protecting a right on the part of states or other collectivities, assertable by them against the federal government, to arm the populace as they see fit. Rather the amendment achieves its central purpose by assuring that the federal government may not disarm individual citizens without some unusually strong justification consistent with the authority of the states to organize their own militias. That assurance in turn is provided through recognizing a right (admittedly of uncertain scope) on the part of individuals to possess and use firearms in the defense of themselves and their homes–not a right to hunt for game, quite clearly, and certainly not a right to employ firearms to commit aggressive acts against other persons–a right that directly limits action by Congress or by the Executive Branch and may well, in addition, be among the privileges or immunities of United States citizens protected by § 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment against state or local government action.”
(Laurence H. Tribe, 1 American Constitutional Law 902 n.221 [3d ed. 2000]

‘O’Reilly calls the opposing position “extreme,”’

Short version: BOR is an ignorant tool. ;-)

I’m not familiar yet with Oath Keepers but if Ted Baxter thinks they’re crazy, the org is worth a looksee. They must be doing something right if Baxter is sceeerd of them.

Bill O’Reilly is an a**hole! Glenn Beck is quickly following in his footsteps. Is FOX being infiltrated by the far left?

What Rhodes should have said in response, and what anyone should say in response in the future to a gun grabber...

When weapons are confiscated, it’s the law abiding citizens who give them up. The bad guys do not. It’s the bad guys who commit crimes in times such as Katrina, law abiding citizens do not.

Simple, but it always gets left out for some reason...

I saw both Stewart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers and SPLC's Mark Potok on BOR. Three things struck me:

O'Reilly hardly gave Rhodes an opportunity to finish a thought. As is usual with people he doesn't agree with, he stepped all over him and wouldn't let the audience listen and make their own judgment.

O'Blowhard came over as the madman, not Rhodes. "Fair and Balanced", he is not.

I saw a clip of that incident. O’Reilly is every bit as dangerous as “the Brady bunch”—perhaps more so because he casts himself as somewhat of a conservative. No spin zone? Hardly. Lotta-spin-zone is more like it.

Many of us think of Fox as less biased than the rest of the media. Perhaps it is, but there’s a lot of leftie crud in those newscasts, let alone the “opinion” shows.

My problem with Beck is the moral equivalency he practices....Republican Party with the Democrat Party, Obama with Bush, the "rightist" Tea Partiers with "leftist activists", and so on. No need to amplify, freepers already know what he's doing.

The two hosts, with Beck playing Costello to O'Reilly's Abbot, embarked on a "tour" to stoke their egos and to shill their books, I know what will evolve from this too-close relationship if it continues much longer.....i.e., some of their worst political traits, genes, cells, grey matter, whatever, will be transferred/exchanged/absorbed between them in a process right out of a sci-fi horror movie. Unfortunately, Beck will not be a winner in this unholy alliance, to be sure.

Beck has to knock off the road shows and the regular appearances on the Factor.....and be his own man.....and hopefully blossom in the "way he should go" as the Bible says. He has the talent if he doesn't become O'Reilly Lite......or burns himself out like a super-nova.

O'Reilly is a very toxic and pernicious man with an overlay of seductive leprechaun-ish charm. We should NOT turn him off when he appears on the screen. Every bit of lying, dismissively-arrogant, weasely, Obama-protecting, FR-hating pearls of poison which comes from his lips should be posted here whenever necessary.

He has too wide an audience and too many millions of viewers who fall for his words to tune him out and let him operate unhindered.

I consider it a duty and a "freep" to watch him regularly and to take notes.

I never read it, but I understand in his very first book he made it clear he wasn’t a 2A supporter. I have never understood why folks think he is “conservative”. I don’t know how in the world one can claim to be “conservative” but not see the need for the 2nd A. Anyone who supports any kind of gun control is a statist, pure and simple. The rights of the state above the rights of the people. IMHO, the state doesn’t have ANY rights. We let it do a few things for us but those aren’t rights.
