Bill O'Reilly gets that funny Loser Look after James Carville Schools him on Winning Elections

 Bill O'Reilly says horrible things every night--how can he still be on television.  Trying to understand not only why he says those things but even more perplexing....why is he so popular.   fortunately President Obama and his ideas are more popular as is evidenced by his last two elections.  One of the commenters suggested Bill may quit for money but it seems like his ultimate goal is to talk and his ego and promoting his life style for everyone and his idea of religion--often his theme is his love of his own cherished Catholic guilt.  

Zeke Emanuel stated it correctly actually to him, that when he could use his podium to distribute information he uses it to stir up fear for his own gain...........but really,.....think about it......why..........that's what I don't get.........is he a pure racist at heart?

I really think that he believes that if everyone, of all colors and lifestyles, would simply just listen to him and follow his religious ideas and beliefs everything would be just fine.

Nothing is complex to him....the man is a simpleton.

Last evening he again harped on the idea that President Obama should shut down the Russian financial system....close it down completely......have MasterCard and all banks refuse interaction with Russian money.  First, does President Obama run Mastercharge and the banks........what would an act like that do to the stock market?  He has embarrassed himself many times like when he suggested someone was setting the price of gas and he was going to find out who it was.  Right, he told this to the vice-president of the commodities exchange who had recently written an book and tried to explain to him that the price was set by the commodity traders.

He also refuses to listen when the facts are right in front of him.........he goes on about Beyonce endlessly........seriously, as if he is not enjoying her vids, but refuses to acknowledge the good work of Snoop with his football team in Long Beach.  he shook hands with Snoop at the Kennedy Center honors.........

Wouldn't Snoop know more about the issues of the inner-city than Bill?

What do you think?   Why is he so popular?

Fortunately, we have people like James Carville, on the factor last evening to hand him a can of whoop-ass once in a while--Bill insisted we only need a person like Ronald Reagan with the right amount of charisma, for the repubs to win again.  James suggested it's no longer just the rich old white guys voting now--Bill did have that real funny loser look on his face at the end of the conversation.

James Carville Hands Bill O'Reilly a Can of Whoop-Ass on The Factor Tonight

Tonight on the Factor.......


Guest James Carville attempts to explain to the "O" man why the repubs have lost the last 7 elections.

Bill had to argue........

Seriously, as if Bill had actually runs elections and campaigns and James hasn't.

Maybe Bill forgot.......James might know what he talking about on this one......Hello--Bill Cinton did win the election.

Bill tries to hang tough and tells James.....no, its not that we are all old white men out of touch.....its ideology and I admit the young people just do not get it.

James went on.....schooling Bill he mentioned minimum wage, health care, the economy, immigration.........

Bill remained a hard headed student and insisted its about personality and if we just get a good one we can go up against Mrs. Clinton.

James said......Mrs. Clinton will be awful tough to beat.

Bill knew he was handed a can of whoop ass this evening by Mr Carville and he had that loser look on his face at the end of the conversation.

Good job, James, can't wait for my girl Hillary in 2016.

Chloe louise--Hillary Girl forever.

Ellen from Newshounds Talks the O'Reilly Rant Against Barbara Lee

Ellen, good job, as usual but particularly well done on this one.  O'Reilly is the race-hustler, in reality.  Not to mention he is also filled with hatred.  He goes on every night over Beyonce and Jay-Z insisting they should participate in community work but he fails to recognize Snoop.  Snoop's work in Long Beach with his football team is well known....Bill even shook hands with Snoop at the Kennedy Center Honors.  Also, wouldn't Snoop know more about these issues than O'Reilly?  Snoop has spoken with Larry King many times about family and taking responsibility.   O'Reilly gets an idea and refuses to see honest facts, as he also claims every night.  At this point I think he is deluded by his self-righteousness...he is so in love with his own Catholic guilt.  He cherishes his guilt.  The problem as stated by Zeke Emanuel....he uses and opportunity to stir up fear when he could use it to give out honest information.  Hard-headed old white man--too bad he could not have a wider view of the world.


Ellen from Newshounds describes O'Reilly:

Well done, Ellen.

Bill O’Reilly Amps Up His Race War Against Rep. Barbara Lee

POSTED BY ELLEN -1207.60PC ON MARCH 29, 2014 · FLAG

 
Bill O’Reilly has never looked more bigoted than in his ugly and now uglier racial attacks on Congresswoman Barbara Lee. His maliciously grim determination to smear Lee as a “race hustler” says more about him than anything about her.
As I explained in a previous post, O’Reilly’s “race hustler” outrage stems from Rep. Lee’s objections to comments from Rep. Paul Ryan about the “real culture problem” in “our inner cities.” Ryan also cited white supremacist Charles Murray in the same remarks. Lee was not the only one objecting to Ryan’s remarks. But O’Reilly singled out her criticism – that Ryan’s comments were a “thinly-veiled racial attack” – as a reason to go on the racial warpath against her. Even though Ryan, himself, took no offense and even spoke warmly of Lee to O’Reilly.
The next day, Lee responded to O’Reilly’s attacks:

Unfortunately we’ve come to expect language like “welfare queens,” “food stamp president,” and now “race hustlers” from the right wing and Mr. O’Reilly. It is disgusting and divisive and should never be accepted in our national discourse.


For us to achieve the American dream for all, we must engage in this conversation that has been sparked about race and poverty, even if it is difficult for some. Racial discrimination, poverty, and income inequality remain issues that must be debated and addressed, and these kinds of ‘code words’ only get in the way of solving the real problems.



I can’t help but feel that O’Reilly’s agenda is to deliberately get in the way of solving those problems. You have to ask, why didn’t O’Reilly just let this drop? Even if Lee was exploiting race for political reasons, why is that such a big deal? Because white, rich people are so in danger of being eclipsed by African Americans who care about poverty and racial justice?
Rather than try for the kind of respectful dialogue he supposedly endorses, O'Reilly doubled down on his racial attacks on Lee. And the viciousness.

I called (Lee) a race hustler recently after she implied that Congressman Paul Ryan was prejudiced against blacks.

Actually, that’s not what she said. But O’Reilly was really getting going on his white-person-victimhood roll. He sneered sarcastically, “We all use phrases that denigrate African Americans. Do I have that right?” Then he went on to “prove” Lee deserves to be called a “race hustler.”

Let’s take a look at Ms. Lee’s history. In 2011, she accused the entire Republican party of trying to deny black Americans the right to vote. The entire party.

Suspiciously, O’Reilly did not provide Lee's quote. So I looked it up. Presumably, he was referring to her December 2011 statement in which she described Republican policies discriminating against African Americans, not calling Republicans racists per se. From the December 7, 2011, The Hill (which seems to have arrived at the same assessment):

On Wednesday, Lee charged that the ID laws would prevent 1 in 4 blacks from voting, and 1 in 5 Hispanics and Asian Americans. She also said the laws are a return to the voter suppression that was seen in the controversial 2000 presidential election.
“I came to this floor years ago, after the stolen presidential elections in Florida and Ohio, to protest the results of those two elections that were filled with voter suppression,” she said. “It worked for Republicans before, and so legislators in 42 states in this map of shame have doubled down on these strategies to make it harder for certain communities to vote.”

O’Reilly continued by citing other references of Lee’s “racial hustling” without providing quotes. He concluded:

And Ms. Lee claims she’s not a race hustler? How about “Pinhead,” Congresswoman. Do you like that better?
Now, this is a woman who is in the United States Congress, alright? Who is flat-out calling people with whom she disagrees “racist.” Whether they’re her colleagues, or me or the entire Bush administration or the entire Republican Party. And this woman has the gall, the nerve to get up there, alright? And then throw out terms like “welfare queen?” When has the Republican party ever used that term? When have I ever used that term? The answer is never. So not only is she a pinhead, a race hustler, she’s a liar. That’s who we have representing a California district. Barbara Lee.

Well, O’Reilly may not use the exact term “welfare queen” but his language clearly suggests it. Remember when he talked about minorities voting for Obama because they wanted free stuff? Or that it’s their own fault if people on food stamps don’t have enough to eat without them? I do.
Also, if you want to find someone who uses race as a hustle, you need look no further than O’Reilly. He’s the one who insisted on turning a national discussion about the George Zimmerman verdict, racial profiling and stand your ground laws into a whitesplaining harangue against African American culture; he’s the one who refused an invitation to go into an African American community to see the exact measures he was calling for being put into action; he’s the one who “discusses” President Obama’s initiative to help young black males succeed by briefly praising it and then quickly moving on to malign other aspects of black culture.
And, O’Reilly’s the one who regularly hosts Bernard McGuirk, fired from MSNBC for making racial jokes about the Rutgers women’s basketball team. Last night, even though O’Reilly said he didn’t want either of his guests to comment about Lee, McGuirk, apparently, couldn’t resist. “You speak the harsh truth and some people can’t handle it,” he said.
In short, if you care about race hustling, the use of race as a weapon and a political tool is so common on Fox News, it seems to be an official policy.
By the way, there’s an online petition where you can Tell Bill O’Reilly: Apologize to Barbara Lee.

Ronnie to Bill O'Reilly: Dude--Find Your Head and Put it On

Frankly, Ronnie can't believe it.

How can anyone be that stupid--that out of touch--and have a national television show?

How can it be possible?

Bill is basically talking out of his .........posterior--there I've said it.

(Hate to use those kind of words in the blog but......)

Is the man insane?   He goes on nightly about the Internet, Jay-Z, Beyonce, President Obama and Michelle, romantic teenagers......come on, Bill, grow up, you sound like the elders going after Elvis in the 50s.

As far as the Internet, my gosh man, get with the program.......

  how am I writing this blog right now.

  how do we know about the struggles in Syria, Egypt, Ukraine, etc.

  how to find recipes, sewing tips....do you know how wonderful it is to see all the different ways to set in a sleeve, how to construct a Chanel jacket.

And finally, on the Internet, did that guy that writes books for him do it all by hand, or what?

He is making a fool out of himself--and he thinks he is so cool........

How does one sell a car without the Internet in this day and age?

This leads one to believe there is a situation going one.........Bill dishes out the orders and someone else does the work.......on the Internet......hello!

Bill O'Reilly is exposed........a scary thought isn't it?

Going on every night about the rappers and hip hop stars.......

Bill, you shook hands with Snoop......man get a clue.....it is very easy to see the good work this man does.  I wonder if Bill has ever heard Snoop talk to Larry King about living in a responsible fashion.

Bill might want to talk to Snoop about his thoughts and about this football team in Long Beach.....Bill it is all on the Internet.

Obviously, he did not take time to chat with Snoop at the recent award show or he would know these things.  I would have loved the opportunity to chat with Snoop if I was given the chance.  Perhaps Snoop would have valuable insight into some of these issues since he has lived it and Mr O'Reilly has not.

Bill keeps laughing at everyone--he laughs at people he does not understand.

It is actually very ungracious of him not to acknowledge the discrepancies and effects of race in America.

President Obama is brilliant in inviting him to the White House.  Our President is gracious.

The biggest mystery of all--I guess Bill thinks he can solve the problems of inter-city America all on his show--yet he denounces the efforts of those already involved, as in:  President Obama, Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev Wright--the arrogance involved in his decision making is amazing.

Finally, who are the people that vote--who voted for President Obama, twice--who are the people that make-up our fantastic country, Bill, please......you are not even addressing the voters but a dying group of old white rich men, dinosaurs like yourself---Bill, that is not longer the majority of voters.

Bill--get a clue--you may have a show, but there are more voters that elected President Obama than watch your show.

and that's the tip of the day.

  

The Dangerous Self-Love of Bill O'Reilly

Bill O'Reilly is an extremely dangerous individual and here is why.  

He acts as if he is trying to enlighten people with information, no spin and fair and balanced, as he often likes to say.  

It does not take long after listening to him to see his real views.

He is really not that skillful in cloaking his actual thoughts in trying to shout about how he was respectful to the President in his recent interview.  

Where he could give listeners information he uses those chances to create ill-will and a atmosphere of hate against our President.  

Just as an example--health care--now people actually have access to health care like all of the other advanced nations of our world--he says he wants health care but we certainly cannot give the credit to President Obama.  

He said one day the government just can't do it.  

But, in fact, our system for providing medical services to the citizens was in an expensive state of failure.  

While the ACA may not have all of the bugs ironed out it is certainly a step in the right direction.  


As his buddy Charles Krauthammer tried to say--we have the best health care system in the world--actually that is not true.  It would be interesting to see where he is getting his facts.

The right tries to always insist that we are the only great country and we have to be the best--our health care in the current state is not the best.  

We did not even have access for all of the citizens for preventative health care.  

Instead of giving information to those who may be unfamiliar with Barack Obama Mr. O'Reilly uses it as a means to instill fear.  

He is bogus, at best.


He is the fox news personification of Eddie Haskell.......an arrogant teenager.

Instead of giving facts and info as he claims he uses semi-facts to instill fear in the citizens of the United States who mistakenly think they are being enlightened.  Instead they are just being used for his sick agenda.

Geraldo Rivera: The Anti-O'Reilly of Fox News

Geraldo Rivera Calls O'Reilly Out

and rightly so.........

Grace being the operative word and Bill's lack there of.



Tonight on Bill O'Reilly's show, The Factor, on Fox News, Geraldo Rivera took Bill O'Reilly to task.

First, for trying to deny he called our President a community organizer from Chicago--right, instead of President of the United States, not to mention the very first African-American President of the United States and even more importantly his ultra aggressive premise in the interview.

Talking about his recent interview with our President Barack Obama prior to the Superbowl.

Geraldo told Bill  "he is the President of the United States filling the shoes equal to Abraham Lincoln and you did not show him respect."  You have to show respect to the office and the person in it.  Geraldo went on to say, "He is not the mayor of Hartford."

He explained, "I grew up in the civil rights era and this man has made great strides--you've got to acknowledge it."

Geraldo accurately stated, his demeanor, the way he leaned forward, the way he called him a community organizer from Chicago was incorrect and offensive.

It was disgusting--Bill is almost always disrespectful--he has a history of calling his guests by their last names.


Bill did not even bother to mention the accomplishments of our President.  Now, everyone has the access to health care, like all of the other sophisticated countries of the world--that was a giant accomplishment, Bill, and many are very appreciative, including myself.

Our President stood up for women to Rush Limbaugh.  President Obama stood up for violence against children and people of color when he talked abut Trayvon Martin.

There was something very ugly about O'Reilly interviewing President Obama.  It was his whole stance and demeanor....the way he was leaning forward in his chair and also the questions he asked. 

He is such a simple Simon...I could not believe he actually asked President Obama if the whole issue of race could just not be solved by education and parents staying in the home. 

Bill is divorced and President Obama is not.  Why? 

Bill is such a boob.  What woman would want to be married to an arrogant donkey doo-dad like that guy.  Women today do not have to put up with it because the women do have an education.  He was disrespectful to our President in a way that was almost sickening. 

The man is too arrogant--someday a mistake in that direction may cause him his job.  President Obama deserves an award for taking the higher ground and putting up with people like that. 

O'Reilly is so blind and full of himself he cannot even see the good things Barack Obama has accomplished. 

Bill has to grow up and see a larger world. 

I am embarrassed and angry by his interview attitude. 

If one listens to Bill carefully it does not take long to see what he is about--he is not really that careful about cloaking his actual thoughts even though he thinks he is fooling everyone.  

President Obama is a very big man and Bill is small and unattractive.

President Obama is a man with grace, O'Reilly is not.

Good job, Geraldo, good job tonight and thank you for that.

Geraldo Rivera is one of the few people who can stand up to O'Reilly without him going ballistic.  Geraldo has the unique ability to let people talk, even when he is in complete disagreement without going into anger mode.  His radio show is good--this is why.  All of the big talkers say their opinion and Geraldo keeps his cool.  This is a talent in conservative radio today.  Not to mention the New York callers think they are best friends with Mister G.

N'DIGO's Hermene Hartman on Bill O'Reilly: I Support President Obama and Reverend Jeremiah Wright

from billoreilly.com

Impact Segment 

The Return of Reverend Wright

Guest: Hermene Hartman
To commemorate Martin Luther King Day, a Chicago teachers union hired none other than Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who proceeded to condemn President Obama for his use of drones. The Factor debated the decision to invite Wright with magazine publisher Hermene Hartman. "You've said Reverend Wright is anti-American," Hartman protested, "but that's not true. He has pointed out 'bad America' - dropping bombs on people and slavery is 'bad America.' He's not saying anything wrong. America is a great country, but has been a bad country in some instances." The Factor insisted that Wright is a serial America-basher: "If you listen to his sermons, you come away with him saying America is a bad nation. Every country has done some bad things, but according to Reverefrond Wright it's all bad and nothing good."

..................................................

So very, very honored to speak with Hermene Hartman today about her appearance on Bill O'Reilly, Fox news, last evening, Jan 15, 2014.

Burning with questions:

Why did you go on the show?

HH:  I was invited and I welcomed the opportunity to talk about Reverend Wright and I wanted to correct some misconceptions.

Were you afraid?

HH:  No.

HH:  I feel like Reverend Wright has been misinterpreted and misquoted.

Could not resist asking about her credentials compared to O'Reilly on this particular subject.

HH:  I am a former sociology professor but I have been working for the newspaper for 25 years.  In the past Bill O'Reilly has been invited to the church of Reverend Wright but he refused to visit.

Hermene Hartman said I welcomed the opportunity to talk about race but Bill O'Reilly should let the people actually answer the question if he wants the true value of their statement.  He has got to let the person speak or he is not really understanding what they are trying to say.

Hermene Hartman wanted to talk about the perception of race and the perception of Jeremiah Wright.

She said in the show she does support President Obama and Reverend Jeremiah Wright but their statements have been misinterpreted by Mr. O'Reilly--he is missing the true value of their statements.

Reverend Wright is trying to say that America is a great country but there have been wrong acts committed by the government on the issue of race, gays, women's rights and during the time of war.

I would definitely include in this the Japanese concentration camps during World War II.

Ms. Hartman mentioned the bombing of Nagasaki as a wrong and unfortunate act along with rules of segregation which existed in the past.

I felt like Ms Hartman wanted to promote the idea that while we love our country it is okay to talk about and define acts by our government that have hurt others and particular segments of the society. She was not saying she did not like America or disagree with the policies but to acknowledge mistreatment of others by the government if it does, in fact exist, is a good thing.

In the long run it is a good thing to talk about it.

The question:  Would Mr. O"Reilly agree or disagree if he had actually let her talk and receive the true value of the statement of Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

The United States has done things and made rules that are not correct for women, gays and involving race and people of color--we are making a lot of changes in our laws now.

We are in a free country and allowed to speak--that is one of the great things about the United States.  This philosophy lets progress take place.

Like Nelson Mandela, Dr.Martin Luther King and Jesus, Reverend Wright would like to challenge these incorrect acts.

Everything today is not hunky dory but we are making progress according to Hermene Hartman.

I could not help but ask Ms. Hartman how she felt about Bill O'Reilly's constant angry rant on Reverend Al Sharpton.

HH:  Bill O'Reilly does seem to have a problem with strong black men--it is also a matter of politics and entertainment.

I said.....do you know Reverend Wright and what would you like people to know about him?

HH:  Reverend Wright is a brilliant man and a scholar and he is not afraid to challenge things that are incorrect in our country.  He is not afraid to call it as he sees it.  He is a very nice man.

HH:  Bill is taking Reverend Wright out of context.

She also said in the past Mr. O'Reilly has indeed been invited to the church of Reverend Wright but he has not come.  She went on--he is welcome to come to the church and see what is going on and find out what Reverend Wright is all about.  Ms. Hartman felt like O'Reilly really did not have all of the facts to properly speak about Jeremiah Wright.

I concluded by asking her what do you think of race in America today. 

HH:  We have definitely made progress.  We do not have laws of segregation as we did in the past--but whether we like it or not race and prejudice is ingrained in our society.  In the past Dr. King spoke of total integration without prejudice but she thinks now it is more reasonable to go with the idea of Nelson Mandela--to live in a race free society by acknowledging  that race exists.  We have perceptions and prejudices that are going to last for a long, long time--it cannot be ignored.

She gave the example of Trayvon Martin--the rules have changed but he was killed on perception.  The law is now that anyone of any color can legally go into any neighborhood or area of town.  The perception has not necessarily changed and Trayvon Martin was murdered on the idea he was not really supposed to be there--even though that was his home.

Thank you to Hermene Hartman for taking time to chat with me about your very insightful interview on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News.

It was wonderful to see you on the The Factor and hear your take on Reverend Wright and President Obama. 

Ms. Hartman said that I may also visit the church and I am very excited about that--not to mention I love Chicago.

here is a link to the newspaper of Hermene Hartman:

http://ndigo.com/

Hermene Hartman serves as President and CEO of the Chicago-based, Hartman Publishing Group, INC. NDIGO, was founded in 1989 and is a significant voice in Chicago. Hartman provides social commentary on WVAZ's 102.7 radio Monday - Friday at 9:15 a.m. She is an author and appears as a guest on TV with commentary. Ms. Hartman is the founder of The NDIGO Foundation, a 501c3 not-for-profit organization, which began in 1995, for the sole purpose of raising funds for educational pursuits.

I concluded by asking her what do you think of race in America today.

HH:  We have definitely made progress.  We do not have laws of segregation as we did in the past--but whether we like it or not race and prejudice is ingrained in our society.  In the past Dr. King spoke of total integration without prejudice but she thinks now it is more reasonable to go with the idea of Nelson Mandela--to live in a race free society by acknowledging  that race exists.  We have perceptions and prejudices that are going to last for a long, long time--it cannot be ignored.

She gave the example of Trayvon Martin--the rules have changed but he was killed on perception.  The law is now that anyone of any color can legally go into any neighborhood or area of town.  The perception has not necessarily changed and Trayvon Martin was murdered on the idea he was not really supposed to be there--even though that was his home.

Thank you to Hermene Hartman for taking time to chat with me about your very insightful interview on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News.

It was wonderful to see you on the The Factor and hear your take on Reverend Wright and President Obama.

Ms. Hartman said that I may also visit the church and I am very excited about that--not to mention I love Chicago.

Piers Morgan Calls It: Ailes and O'Reilly Snuggling with Chrisite

Hillary Wins--Christie Loses

Well, Piers Morgan called it correctly last night on his CNN talk show--obviously Chris Christie is the Fox News man for the White House.

Oh, right, the no spin zone--apparently they forgot to mention the giant news story that headlined every other news channel out there--the traffic on the bridge possibly caused by Republican front runner Chris Christie.

Right, no spin--O'Reilly did not mention it.  In the "No Spin Zone"--who is this guy kidding.  Why does he bother to make that statement.  Perhaps, he did not see the giant story--the story that could affect who lands in the White House.  Apparently, now, by ignoring it, Fox News Channel's hopeful.

How can this omission not be spin, the truth as O'Reilly likes to remind us.  The truth as opposed to the lies on all the other stations.  We can only hear the truth on Fox and O'Reilly.

The giant ego of these people is the truth.

It was suspected on this blog when Bill o'Reilly did not go ballistic over Phil Robertson and Duck Dynasty like all of the other ultra right wing types out there.  No, in a moment of fresh air Bill
said Phil Robertson was being far too judgemental in bashing gays and he should take a clue from Jesus.

Does that mean Jesus is for Chris Christie, too......

Hillary will prevail.  This is Christie's Benghazi.  He may win this round but my girl, Hillary Clinton will win in the end.

There is no other Republican that can win at this time.  The other whackadoodles out there can never win a big election.

The question remains..........

Will this be the signal for Jon Huntsman or Jeb Bush to jump  in the race.

It's been said the big backing money is behind Chris Christie.  Now the issue--will this change or stay the same.  Will the Republican big boys stays behind Christie or look for someone else to do their bidding.

Will we learn the truth by the signals from Mr. O'Reilly?

Does Mr. Bill know what is going on out there from the bolder and fresher gig around the country.  Will he talk to the regular "folks" out there.  The regulars who pay 500 bucks a pop to chat on the meet and greet edge of the tour.,

Remember what Bill says--he is the only one looking out for the regular folks out there.

Chloe Louise--Hillary girl forever.
