Here's The Right Side Of It
With a hat tip to 630KHOW’s Peter Boyles, here’s a rather astounding YouTube video clip from last night’s Fox News O’Reilly Factor, featuring Juan Williams and Mary Katharine Ham as guests. The issue at hand was Barack Obama’s Constitutional eligibility to hold office – or rather more specifically, his citizenship and religion. With his usual condescension, overbearing rhetoric, de-facto name-calling, interruptive behavior and obstinate ignorance of some glaring veracity problems in the Obama life-narrative, O’Reilly has become a sort of obfuscating leftist grand protector of the President’s still-hidden documented past. The video link follows:

“…I don’t think there’s any effect in this country at all on any public policy about the President’s religion or his birth certificate. It doesn’t matter.”…”
Really. Does the Constitution matter, Mr. O’Reilly?
In response to Juan Williams’ question about why there are now nine U.S. Congressmen who want legislation passed to verify Obama’s citizenship, O’Reilly had this to say:
“Alright, you want me to answer that question? Because they’re pinheads and they’re playing to the crowd. And it has nothing to do with the business of the nation. Nothing…”
And it is very contradictory to O’Reilly’s position that the numbers in the crowd have actually grown – to view the debate about the issue that doesn’t matter.
Mary Katharine Ham’s point that the leftists who are now asking the questions are being treated very differently from the right-wingers who are asking the very same questions drew this from the host:
“Here’s the deal. I want everybody to understand this. The issue doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. Sane, clear-thinking people understand the President is not a Muslim, and he wasn’t born in Indonesia or whatever they’re puttin’ out there. So, why does Meet The Press and NBC News take up valuable air time to hammer a guy who has nothin’ to do with it – Boehner? He has no dog in the hunt….”
Let’s break this down:
1) The issue does matter because The Constitution matters.
2) I have some questions about the historical background and origins of the President that he has refused to answer. So, I’m not able to think clearly and my sanity is at question?
3) The purpose of the Meet the Press grilling of John Boehner was an attempt to get him to repudiate the voters and Congressmen who are asking the question, “Who are you, Obama, and from whence came you?” - which Boehner refused to do.
O’Reilly apparently cannot think clearly enough to figure this out.
Does idiocy run in his family?
I never watch Ted Baxter anymore.
Sane people know BOR is not a conservative, and that the TV talking heads are only there to placate people.
Sane people know that Bill O’Reilly is insane and is not a moron.
Or is the other way around.
Come on Bill release your records.
Sane people know when someone’s refusing to reveal a birth certificate and spending tons of money to resist production, then someone’s try to cover up something
What about the document makes you uncomfortable, Bill? That it might reveal this punk is a fraud?
The blowhard speaks again.
Hey BlowReillY?
What does religion have to do with citizenship?
You are talking out your arse.
Even saner people know that if brocko had nothing to hide, he wouldn’t hide it.
Corollary to that is that anyone with intelligence beyond that of a gnat knows that if brocko had documents that made him look good, truthful and American, he would put them up in lights.
It's one thing to have an opinion (however misguided), but another to carry on like this.
It's time for O’Reilly to ‘spend more time with his family’, if you catch my drift...
Come on. At least Ted Baxter was likable.
It’s no accident that O’Reilly gets the interviews with Obama on Fox. He’s constantly sucking up and making excuses for Obama in order to land another interview.
Actually I believe there is a decent chance he might be a citizen (say, 50/50), and I also don't believe he's a muslim. Just a muslim sympathizing atheist.
But any 'public servant' who refuses to release his Birth Certificate, and education records ... and to explain his multiple Social Security numbers -- should be fired (actually, I take that back - he should never had been hired in the first place). As would any of us - if we attempted to pull this stunt in our businesses.
Bill O'Reilly Continues To Lie About Obama Birth Certificate.
A little off topic, but I just visited Urban Dictionary to see how ‘Barack Obama’ is doing. The definitions are becoming more and more negative, but they’re also garnering more and more thumbs up. One of the most quoted, and voted up, is, ‘The chocolate Jimmy Carter’. [Though this was nowhere near the most negative. ‘The chocolate Hitler’ had a lot of votes, too.]
When Obama can’t even poll well at Urban Dictionary, he really does have a problem.
“And The Rest Of Us Who Still Have Questions Are ”
...insane, of course.
Bill needs to wipe his chin.
i’m insane and plan to stay that eay!!!
Arrest the illegal alien in the White House and deport him!
The only time I watch Fox is at 3 AM.
Red Eye! Very funny! (of course, it may just be that I’m half awake)
Someone should ask him if he understands the difference between citizen and natural born citizen
