Pelosi: O'Reilly question to Obama on hate 'completely inappropriate'
The Hill ^ | Michael O'Brien

Posted on 02/07/2011 10:59:48 AM PST by Justaham

It was "completely inappropriate" for Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly to ask President Obama about the people who "hate" him, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday.

Pelosi said O'Reilly's question, during an interview before Sunday's Super Bowl, made her wince upon hearing it again on Monday.

"Just seeing it again ... I thought was a completely inappropriate question, of course beautifully handled by the president," Pelosi told host Gayle King on the Oprah Radio network.

"To hear this used in the presence of the president of the United States — I think we all have to recognize that while we disagree with people, and may think that they are wrong," the word "hate" should never be used, Pelosi said.

O'Reilly's question has been one of the most replayed on Monday.

"Does it disturb you that so many people hate you?" O'Reilly asked Obama.

"The people who dislike you don't know you," Obama responded. "The folks who hate you don't know you; what they hate is whatever funhouse mirror image of you is out there."

The interview was a coup for the Fox host and his network, which has sparred sometimes with the Obama administration and earned public enmity from the president at times during the last two years.

Obama's interview, broadcast on Fox, was his third straight year of doing a pre-Super Bowl interview. He sat for an interview with CBS last year, and NBC the year before that.

Pelosi said it was her preference that the word "hate" never be used in a political context.

Questioning a Muslim leader is always inappropriate. Just ask Hosni Mubarak or any other Muslim dictator.

I hate Obama, but I hate all Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Maoists, etc. I despise totalitarians. The more I get to know him, the more I am amazed at how truly evil he is.

Perhaps Pelosi should try pounding some Egyptian sand.

Hey Pelosi, we don’t have a President of the United States.

Oh geez, and wasn’t Pelosi the one who was saying that Bush should be tried for war crimes, WHILE HE WAS STILL IN OFFICE???? And that’s OK, you stupid hate speech liberal shrew??

BTW, I guess it was OK for Barbara Walters to ask Sarah Palin about people “scared to death” of her becoming President.

"The people who dislike you don't know you," Obama responded. "The folks who hate you don't know you; what they hate is whatever funhouse mirror image of you is out there."

My view of the anti-American socialist in our White House came from reading and listening to Obama's own words. I despise communism, loathe socialism, and love America. How could I not be disgusted by everything Obama stands for after listening to him?

O’Reilly asked President Bush the same question. I don't recall SanFranNan objecting to that.

This means he was provided with all the questions quite some time before.
