But it is exactly the kind of democracy the Founders warned us about.

[silverleaf]

I guess if obama decides to “rough up” BOR with regular IRS audits (as he claims the Clintons did), he’ll be OK with that

[Double Tap]

Stossel is right, and as usual, Ted Baxter is wrong.

[American Quilter]

Bravo, Stossel!

[gunnyg]

well, isn’t it altogether fitting that the mentioned city for thuggery is in fact the birthplace of marxism in America???

BOB SEGER - SHAKEDOWN

Is Stossel a Republican? I thought he was Libertarian.

[jersey117]

BOR has been way off the reservation in his attempt to be fair to obama. He doesn’t want to face what the rest of us already know. I only tune in to BOR for certain segments (Morris, Coulter, Miller).

[whitedog57]

As if Obama and the Democrats care. The MSM back Obama’s Orwellian vision for the USA (sacrifices have to be made to achieve social justice!!!) and the average sports/MTV viewer doesn’t pay attention to what is happening.

That is why I think the Midterm elections won’t be a runaway for the Republicans. Most Americans like paying no taxes and getting freebies from the top 5%. Add 40 million illegals to the voting roles, ...

[yoe]

Stossel is right, it was 'thuggish'. Everyone knows what a shakedown is but not many know the legal implications of EXTORTION. America has tough rules and regulations regarding oil companies drilling etc. anywhere, on shore or off shore......if BP was 'derelict' in not following all the rules then I suggest someone high up looked the other way.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

O’Reilly basically responded that he’d cross that bridge when we get to it, and that he didn’t believe the federal government would ever take him off the air.

BOR has been soft on Obama lately, trying to position himself as "fair" and thus he is like the person who feeds the alligator believing it will eat him last.

[boycott]

O’Riley is pathetic as usual. The man doesn’t understand something as simple as the rule of law.

If BP had really wanted to they could have fought this. It was clear they were a willing participant. The media (and maybe BP) are wanting to make it look like obama was the guy that made it happen.

[Mobties]

Fox should give the O’Reilly time slot to Stossel. Yesterday would be good timing as far as I'm concerned.

[Red Badger]

The “Rule of Law” is dead. The “Rule of Thuggery and of Pull” is in effect..........Any Rand was a prophet.............

[FormerACLUmember]

Stossel is the best reporter in America!

[woweeitsme]

It would have been nice to allow Stossel to talk a bit more. Blow-hard O’Reilly took the majority of the segment telling Stossel he was stupid and wrong.

[reagan_fanatic]

O’Reilly basically responded that he’d cross that bridge when we get to it, and that he didn’t believe the federal government would ever take him off the air.

Yes, and 20 years ago no one thought we'd ever elect a Constitution-hating muslim sympathizer as President who would take over GM, nationalize health care and destroy strategic alliances, either.

Wake up, BOR. You and anyone else who speaks up against this government are next in line.

[isthisnickcool]

I never forget when some jerk like BOR screws with good people like he did with the Swift Boat people. From that moment on I’ve never paid any attention to him.

[DBeers]

O’Reilly is an idiot. He is as conservative as he is Catholic -both in name only and even then clueless at best...

[bamahead]

Stossel affirmed that he believed the deal was a “shakedown”– no, a “thuggish Chicago Shakedown”– and despite disapproval from O’Reilly, who had no problem with BP officials being “roughed up,”...Stossel didn’t buy the argument and concluded that this type of deal “is like Venezuela, it’s thuggish, it’s not democracy,” and called O’Reilly a member of the “liberal media.”

Woohoo! Go JS!
