I remember when this clown was portrayed as KCOP’s “very independent commentator” on Los Angeles TV. In 1992, he gave his ballot recommendations, straight Democrat. Clinton, Feinstein, Boxer....”

And the MOONBATS aren’t crazy? Oh yeah, they are his type....and what is this about O’REALLY taking Obama’s side?

After the fluff interview with BAMBO in 2008, O’REALLY gave himself away....

Bill Press. Long time lefty. Just my opinion of course.

Married a very rich lefty woman ... total ahole (a Hawaiian term)... by now, probably ... but not certainly ... believes his own bullshiite.

If there had been townhallers in Germany, there wouldn't have been any NAZIs. Especially armed townhallers

Bill Press is hoping to get T-bagged by Obama.

Bill Press? Is he still around?. As always, late to the party, Bill Press crawls out from under the rock his career has been under and publishes yet another Nancy Pelosi talking party, leftist canard laden article about the uber-organized dissent to the One's takeover of healthcare.

what's on tap for next week, Phil Donahue on with Rachel Maddow talking about the lack of WMDs in Iraq?

Clearly, the tea baggers' goal is not to take part in any debate over health care, but to prevent any debate. And that, I believe, will prove counterproductive.

Clearly the debate is now raging at every kitchen table in America. This, of course, is not the debate the author of the article had in mind. In his mind that debate ends with..."too bad, we won now vote." By drawing attention to the issue, protesters have delayed congressional action and placed this issue in the minds of America, now let those that wish to oppose the voice of the people step up and be counted. Your attempts to get this through in the dead of night has failed.

Are you serious? Eisenhower wasn’t a conservative and only became a Republican because he felt he had a better chance of winning that way.

I remember Press back in the 1980’s when I lived in California. He was spouting his liberal crap on a LA TV station back in those days.

Surprised to hear he’s still alive and well....I thought he died from AIDS years ago.

Were I a Democratic member, I'd pay them to show up.

Dear Bill Press

If that were the case Billy, why is your President telling his Union thug supporters to beat them up?

Note for you Billy, all the arrest for violence at these town halls so far have been Obama supporters arrested for assaulting peaceful protesters.

You cannot really be stupid enough to believe this crap you are shoveling here can you Billy?

What birth certificate? As for health care, Obama’s plan hurts my family, this is personal and Mr. Press sides with the hurters, and that is of course is why I disagree.

‘By the way, why isn’t Code Pink protesting Obama’s war in afghanistan?’

All the “support the troops,bring them home” signs have mysteriously vanished since the end of January.

They just wanted to see Boosh fail. They (including Michael Moore) called for America’s bloody defeat at the hands of Islamic terrorists.

They engaged in treason in a time of war.

If the pundits and politicians want to take the position “we won, this is what we get to do”, then why didn’t they CAMPAIGN on this issue? Why wasn’t nationalized healthcare the top debate topic? Why all of the questions about the Bush Doctrine if THIS was what the public was “voting” on?

They ran Obambi as a moderate despite all evidence that his was among the most liberal records in Congress.

Colin Powell flip flopped on economics and supported Obama’s plan to expand the role of government. He’s not worthy of endorsement.

Bill Press has a schtick. He says as outrageous a thing as he can just to get attention. Kinda like Coulter.

If he could get away with it, he'd nail living infants to a prison van filled with child molesters and claim it was a Republican plot.

Let’s get this straight,

A group of semi-unemployed’s, bussed to the location, wearing matching tees, with pre-printed placards,

beaching about about folks taking time off from work, making signs, showing up wearing whatever they happened to have on. Heaven forbid they bring their kids.

Grass roots political discord ?
