      Nice lies even in the text concervitives do not out number liberals vastly in that many states. The people were not showing hate but concern for the crimes of the past administration and a need for justice. This man is a mental ill lier and needs to be stopped before he hurts more people by the means of his bullets. Sorry I mean his viewers.

      By the way sometimes it is more patriotic to point out your nations flaws than to blindly fallow. That is what these people are doing. Questioning and pointing out flaws are the cores of patriotism not blindly following. The right wants blind followers to keep us in the dark.

        Agree with your viewpoint and would add that questioning and dissent can come from both sides as long as it is reasoned and courteous.

          Right that is why I was mad when we were being told by the right that if we disagreed with Bush we were unAmerican.

            Agreed, and thank you to the rest of our reasoned conservatives. They're hard to pick out sometimes, but appreciated.

      President Bill Clinton spoke at the event. So I wonder how much he doesn't like America.

      oreilly claims EVERYTHING liberals do/say as hate, but when conservatives (teabaggers, birthers, mobs) yell down their congressman and make up lies and spew racism, its perfectly fine.

      the funny thing is, those big, bad liberals are exercising their freedom of speech just like the conservatives claim those mobs are doing. however, the conservatives do so immaturely and the liberals say what they say in a peaceful manner.

      oreilly's ignorance is truly ming-boggling.

      The last time I checked, the Democrats won the election, and got every Senate seat that they targeted and gained 70 seats in the House. The Democrats won, and maybe the country is a bit more conservative than it was 40 years ago, it is still not as conservative as the Fixed Noise base would have us believe. In fact, I would think that the recent election was proof that the Faux Noisers are out of touch with mainstream America as they claim the liberals are. And I don't care what they say, I haven't worried about my safety around liberals since the 1970s, when they quit blowing things up. However, we do have to worry about violence from the rightwing nutjobs, who have been behind the worst and the bloodiest of all domestic terror attacks since the 1980's. It started with synagogue fires and passed right in to blowing up the Murrah Building, with shootings being a near constant for the whole time. Militias are on the rise and the rhetoric is more revolutionary, it seems to me that they only side we have to worry about is the right.

      The far right builds their case based on speculation heap upon speculation. There is no evidence to back their claims.

      This is precisely the strategy O'Reilly is applying here. No evidence of anything, just a video of a left-wing group, then cut back to O'Reilly piling on his claims.

      Not only is he failing to connect dots, the dots don't even exist.
