O'REILLY: Talking Points watched President Obama in Colorado on Saturday, and once again I had no idea what the president was talking about. He went on and on about all kinds of stuff that seemingly only he understands. It's kind of like a poltergeist. He can see it; nobody else can.First of all, isn't it cute that O'Reilly refers to himself as "Talking Points," some kind of disembodied concept that watched the President? But more to the point, he admitted that he is an idiot who has "no idea what the president was talking about." I suppose we should respect his honesty for confessing to his inferior comprehension skills. But he goes on to complain that Obama's plan isn't simple enough for him and that it should have five bullet points to make it understandable to someone of his deficient mental capacity.
So here's the deal. If President Obama wants more fairness in the health care industry, he has to come up with five bullet points that even I can understand. Five things that clearly tell us what Obamacare would do.
1) Reduce long-term growth of health care costs for businesses and governmentThose three extra bullet points may be too much for Mr. "Talking Points" to grasp. It was also too difficult for him to even find this list of the President's objectives (it took me about ten seconds. I searched Google for "White House" and "healthcare" and clicked on the first link). So O'Reilly is essentially asking for an explanation that he can understand, which is already available, but he still can't understand it.
2) Protect families from bankruptcy or debt because of health care costs
3) Guarantee choice of doctors and health plans
4) Invest in prevention and wellness
5) Improve patient safety and quality of care
6) Assure affordable, quality health coverage for all Americans
7) Maintain coverage when you change or lose your job
8) End barriers to coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions
OREILLY: Well, a major reason is the health care debate. While the other network news broadcasts downplay the dissent and promote the government takeover of the health care industry, FOX News highlights the intense debate. When we cover the town hall meetings, we don't describe the protesters as loons.Oh Really? O'Reilly's self-righteous homage to his fairness and/or balance rings somewhat hollow when his actual record of name-calling is examined. The Daily Show's Jon Stewart touched on it briefly, airing a video of O'Reilly calling some protesters loons.
The Far-Left Loons / She's a loon / I know a loon when I see one / these far-left loons / and he is a loon / there are enough loony judges / if you're a far-left loon / some kind of loon / these loons get completely out of control / about 4000 loons are roaming / obviously a loon / A left-wing loon / a loon catcher / the loon who wrote that / Some loons / he's a certified loon / protesters as loons / because loons control / because those loons / and their loony parents / you're a loon / left-wing loons / attacks by far-left loons / radical left wing loon / Hey, you loons / some loons want / get the loons / anti-American loons / Enter far-left loon / number two, you're a loon / you'd think the far-left loons / Far-left loons continue / some left-wing loons / The loony Web sites / Far-left loon Katrina van den Heuvel / radical loons are still / I believe Wright is a loon / many far-left loons hate / opposing the loons / allowed loons to post / Far-left loons may / with the loons / far left loon Nickie Think / far-left loons who believe / dishonest loon like that / far-left loons are furious / bother the loony left / John Edwards is a loon / hear some loon say / put loons on / some progressive loons / One loon opined / another far-left loon / is he a loon or what / encouraged the loons / these loons step up / the Kos loons / dangerous loons / some loons are even supporting / far-left loons gleefully / the far-left loons who put / politicians who are far-left loons / the loons from Barack Obama's past / You sound like a raving loon / far-left loons and America haters / far-left loons are - vile people / San Francisco loons / That's the far left loons / the far left loons demean / some loons decided / their loony commentators / far-left loons have denigrated / postings by loons / duke it out with this loon / Left-wing loons desperately want / If far-left loons gain power / the same loons back again / funneling money to left-wing loons / their parents are loons / derailed by some loony guy / a complete loon / pieces on those loons / far-left loons are targeting broadcasters / the loons who spit / Moore and his loony philosophy / Enough loons running around / far left loons are running wild / they're just left-wing loons / biggest left-wing loon conference / Say the loons in Sacramento / hundreds of loons are on the streets / certifiable left-wing loon / We don't need loony ideologues / all of these far-left loons / far-left loons like Franken / outnumbered by far-left loons / the lefty loony agenda / the goal of those loons / some of it is just loonyYes, there are 99 of them. I had to stop somewhere. I'd love to see O'Reilly try to justify his habit of demeaning those with whom he disagrees by calling them names. The documentation above proves that it is not the rare moment of excitement that draws O'Reilly to sink to these tactics. It is a core element of his behavior, one which he repeats incessantly.
O'REILLY: Early in Hitler's rise to power, Nazi brown shirts did the same thing that World Can't Wait and other radical extremists are doing now, disrupting speeches, and denying opposing points of view. Talking Points respects honestly held views, including those held by Communists, socialists, and other radicals. This is America. They have a right to believe what they want to believe. They don't have the right to infringe on the rights of others by trying to stop them from speaking. And they don't have the right to spread malicious propaganda unchallenged.From O'Reilly's perspective, anti-war protesters were monstrous traitors for engaging in activities that disrupted speeches and denied opposing points of view. But when right-wing town hall tea baggers do it they are patriotic icons of free expression. But the most ironic of O'Reilly's assertions is his professed opposition to spreading malicious propaganda. Of course, if he truly believed that he wouldn't work for Fox News.
Q: Name one thing Obama has done that O'Reilly, Hannity, and Beck support.If anyone can answer that question e-mail me. FOX News is all Obama hating all the time, just watch it. FOX is a network that consistently calls Obama a socialist, a Marxist, a communist, and even a terrorist, terrorist fist jab anyone?
How can FOX be this powerful news network, as O'Reilly claims, when less than 1% of the people watch it at any one time. How can it be so powerful when 99% of the people do not watch you?It's ridiculous to even make that claim, most people have jobs and lives, and spend their time watching sports and doing things like fishing and camping, hunting, going to bars and clubs, etc. When I worked full time I barely watched tv at all, and I never watched any cable news, except if there was a big breaking news story on the air. I was busy working, and when I was not working I was fishing, playing pool, going to bars, riding my Harley, and not watching lame cable news shows, any of them.
Wiehl: Article one in the Constitution says the Congress has the power to regulate interstate commerce. That is anything that goes from one state to another.Earth to Bill O'Reilly, two words, Car Insurance. The Government makes you buy Car Insurance or you can not drive, yet you claim they can not force an American to buy anything, when they already do you moron. They force you to buy Car Insurance, so is that unconstitutional too.
O'Reilly: So what?
Wiehl: Health care itself may be local, your doctor may be in your state but medical supplies come to you the medical equipment, all of the things...
O'Reilly: Why can they make you buy anything?
Wiehl: Because they can regulate interstate commerce. Those things go through interstate, they can force you to...
O'Reilly: OK, I want the audience to know that this is total BS. This is why people hate lawyers, this is nuts. The government is saying you have to buy health insurance. You have to do it. I'm saying that's unconstitutional. The federal government doesn't have the power to force an American to buy anything.
For once, mainstream journalists did not retreat to the studied neutrality of quoting dueling antagonists. They tried to perform last rites on the ludicrous claim about President Obama's death panels, telling Sarah Palin, in effect, you've got to quit making things up.This shows that propaganda works, the proof of that is the 45% who believe the lie, and the 75% of FOX viewers who believe it. And notice that the Obama health care plan polls have a 47% disapproval, which is almost the exact number of people who falsely believe death panels are in the bill.
But it didn't matter. The story refused to die.
The crackling, often angry debate over health-care reform has severely tested the media's ability to untangle a story of immense complexity. In many ways, news organizations have risen to the occasion; in others they have become agents of distortion.
In the 10 days after Sarah Palin warned of an America "in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's death panel," The Washington Post mentioned the phrase 18 times, the New York Times 16 times, and network and cable news at least 154 times.
The former Alaska governor's claim that government panels would make euthanasia decisions was clearly debunked. Yet an NBC poll last week found that 45 percent of those surveyed believe the measure would allow the government to make decisions about cutting off care to the elderly -- a figure that rose to 75 percent among Fox News viewers.
MORRIS: Well, first of all, Bill, there are 50 million uninsured people. OK?Morris and O'Reilly are both lying their ass off, and none of that is true. Both the House committee bill and the Senate committee bill explicitly prohibit undocumented immigrants from receiving federal payments to purchase insurance. The House bill stipulates that those "not lawfully present" may not receive subsidies to purchase insurance.
O'REILLY: Right.
MORRIS: Ten million are illegal immigrants --
O'REILLY: Right.
MORRIS: -- who are going to get covered under this thing. This thing essentially takes care from the elderly and gives it to immigrants.
O'REILLY: Why does it take care from the elderly?
MORRIS: Because if you're going to ration medical care, who's not going to get the hip replacement, the 40-year-old or the 80-year-old?
O'REILLY: OK. So if you're old you won't get it, because some younger person who might be illegal would get it.
SEC. 242. AFFORDABLE CREDIT ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALNow the next time you hear Dick Morris on the O'Reilly Factor, or another FOX show, lying that illegal immigrants will get health care under the Obama health care plan, you will know the truth. And think about this, if he is lying about illegals getting health care, what else is he lying about. How can you believe anything he says now after he was caught red handed lying about this.
For purposes of this division, the term 'affordable credit eligible individual' means, an individual who is lawfully present in the United States.
SEC. 246. NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS
Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.
The Senate bill also excludes those "not lawfully present" from federal funding.
(h) NO FEDERAL FUNDING. -- Nothing in this Act shall allow Federal payments for individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.
O'REILLY: But there is no question most Americans are now dissatisfied with the president's health care deal. According to a brand-new NBC News poll, 47 percent now disapprove of the way Mr. Obama is handling health care reform, while 41 percent approve. It is clear Obama's health care policy is not playing among the folks.And btw, notice that O'Reilly cited an NBC news poll, when he tells us every night that NBC is a dishonest far left news outlet, and compares them to the devil, then he uses one of their polls. So he quotes that poll, and tells you 47% disapprove, while 41% approve.
Damaging MisperceptionsSo what the poll actually says is the reason 47% oppose it, is because most people are misinformed about the details in the bill. And they are misinformed because of all the right-wing lies being put out by the Insurance companies, the special interest groups, the Republicans, and FOX News. In fact, another poll proves it, and of course O'Reilly has ignored this poll.
One of the reasons why it has become tougher to convince the people it's a good plan is due to misperceptions about the president's plans for reform.
Majorities in the poll believe the plans would give health insurance coverage to illegal immigrants; would lead to a government takeover of the health system; and would use taxpayer dollars to pay for women to have abortions — all claims that nonpartisan fact-checkers say are untrue about the legislation that has emerged so far from Congress.
Forty-five percent think the reform proposals would allow the government to make decisions about when to stop providing medical care for the elderly. Which is also untrue: The provision in the House legislation that critics have seized on -- raising the specter of “death panels” or euthanasia -- would simply allow Medicare to pay doctors for end-of-life counseling, if the patient wishes, it's optional, and already in most health insurance plans you have now.
-- 72 percent believe undocumented residents will be coveredAll of these lies have been refuted many many times by nonpartisan sources, including FactCheck.org.
-- 79 percent believe they will lead to a government takeover
-- 69 percent believe abortions will be covered
-- 75 percent believe there will be “death panels”
The O'Reilly PollWhat kind of biased/rigged poll is that, to begin with it's run on his personal website, it's unscientific, and FOX News is not one of the choices, when CNN and MSNBC are. Not to mention recent polls have shown that FOX viewers are the most misinformed on the Obama health care plan, and that FOX is the least trustworthy cable news channel in America. Talk about a biased spin poll, that is it.
Which news agency do you trust the least? Select one.

Among the headlines: Ridge was never invited to sit in on National Security Council meetings; was blindsided by the FBI in morning Oval Office meetings because the agency withheld critical information from him; found his urgings to block Michael Brown from being named head of the emergency agency blamed for the Hurricane Katrina disaster ignored; and was pushed to raise the security alert on the eve of President Bush's re-election, something he saw as politically motivated and worth resigning over.Playing politics with terror was a relatively frequent occurrence in the Bush administration. In August 2004, the AP reported that even "some senior Republicans" privately questioned Ridge's timing of a terror alert that came just three days after the Democratic National Convention.

New Air Force One Tail Number and yes, please forgive me, I'm really sorry, I really, really tried not to laugh, but …………………..!Attached to the e-mail was a Photoshopped image of Air Force one with NI66ER written on the plane's tail. As OhioDaily writes, "This type of message is offensive coming from anyone, but coming from someone in the position of dispatching police and prioritizing calls, it’s downright horrifying."
A recent Rasmussen poll has 53 percent of Americans opposing President Obama's health care vision, and just 42 percent supporting it. Also, a whopping 44 percent of voters strongly oppose Obamacare, while only 26 percent strongly support the plan.Notice what poll O'Reilly quoted, the biased Rasmussen poll put out by the biased Republican Scott Rasmussen. It's the one poll in America that has the lowest numbers for everything Obama does. And it's a fact that O'Reilly never did this when Bush was the president. When Bush was in office O'Reilly would always use the poll that had the highest numbers for Bush. Proving that he is a biased Republican, and not a non-partisan Independent. Because only a biased partisan would do this, only partisan Republicans use the Rasmussen polls, because they are done in a way to make Obama look worse than any other pols.
Amid Debate, Obama Approval Rating on Healthcare SteadyNot only does O'Reilly cherry pick the one partisan Republican polls on Obama by Rasmussen, he is constantly calling the president a liar, a far left socialist, says he will bankrupt the country, and loads his show with partisan Republicans to do non-stop smears on Obama. While at the same time almost never having any Democratic guests on, and when a Democrat does get on they are almost always paired with a Republican, so it's a 2 on 1 and the Democrat barely gets a word in. O'Reilly calls this a no spin zone by a non-partisan Independent host, when it's just crazy, and beyond belief.
Americans disapprove of his handling of the issue, by 49% to 43%

O'REILLY: Now there is something very disturbing about a major corporation, GE, allowing its news division to brand regular Americans as racist and fascist because they oppose a public policy. In fact, I have never seen this happen before in my 35 years of journalism.Oh My God that is so funny. FOX did the very same thing for 8 fricking years when Bush was the president. Anyone who dared to speak out against Bush was labeled a communist traitor, O'Reilly himself even called them un-American traitors. Then after taking heat for it, he changed it to calling them America haters, and bad Americans. Every single night for 8 years straight, O'Reilly and the FOX news network called anyone who spoke out against Bush un-American traitors. O'Reilly would say if you oppose Bush on anything, you hate America, you are a bad American who is disrespectful to the president, and nothing but a partisan kool-aid drinking loon. Wow is his memory bad, yeah right, and if you believe that I have some land to sell you.
Police find weapons in car of woman nabbed for trespassing at air baseAnd btw, if you go to Genovese's MySpace page, you'll see that it features the nice woman and the declaration "Molon labe" which is Greek for "Come and get them."
Aug 1, 2009.
A woman who police said had an XM-15 assault rifle, a shotgun, and 500 rounds of ammunition in her car was arrested and charged with trespassing after officials at the Air National Guard Base at Gabreski Airport called the Suffolk County Sheriff’s office to report that she was taking photographs on base property in Westhampton Thursday night.
Nancy Genovese, 49, of Lakewood Avenue in Quogue was charged with criminal trespass in the third degree, arraigned in Southampton Town Justice Court on Friday and is being held at the Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Riverhead on $50,000 bail.
This wasn’t the first time Ms. Genovese was observed taking pictures of the base, according to the sheriff’s department. When Deputy Sheriff Robert Carlock arrived at the scene Thursday night, he was told by members of the Air National Guard that she had been warned for several weeks to stay off of the airport property. She had reportedly been seen several times taking pictures along the perimeter of the base.
The U.S. Department of Justice's Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Department of Homeland Security were notified by the sheriff's department. Spokesmen for both agencies have announced that they will launch their own investigations.
...we the people. I just saw GlennBeck tell it like it is!She is also obsessed with FEMA and ardently believes that concentration camps are being built:
Yes, he was firm and he is talking to congress, for all of us.
...we the people. I just saw Glenn Becks show, now on the 2 am show, missed it at 5 PM today.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Please do re post this video.
He is mad as hell and so are we. He is right and so are we.
He says a copy of the letter he is speaking of, from a grandmother, is on his site GlennBeck.com, if you want to add a comment or sign it.
God Bless all of you my friends.
He got me by surprise on his first call. I wasn't ready for him. I just called his direct line, and spent about 10 minuets on the phone with questions I wanted to ask him, being from DHS.-----------------
He says there is no way right now, marshal law will be imposed in the USA. He told me it would have to be dyer situation for the President to make such a declaration.
I presented a scenario of dyer straits to him, like, the dollar goes down to the predicted 15.7 cent in value, swine flu is killing people and they have a few million dead bodies to deal with, people have no homes, no food, looting is going on. Um, yes, martial law would be something the country would need.
He did insist Americans would never put up with being put in any camp and stopped me when I even mentioned the word camp.
He told me FEMA owns NO camps. None.
I asked, "you must see the info on the internet regarding these camps?" He told me he ..."works all day and had no time to research the videos" and docs proving FEMA owns these camps. I have the feeling his job title may be damage control.
