O'REILLY: I'm seeing a guy who's very, very committed to the
government. To government, the government's going to solve the problems, and
I'm going I don't know how that's possible. If you've ever been to the South
Side of Chicago,
I mean, it's a disaster, all right? It's like Haiti,
it's like -- I've been to Haiti
a couple of times. I support some charities there, but Haiti just
never gets better, no matter how much money you put in there because they don't
have a system. And I said the government can't do it but, Obama really believes the government can do
it.
Beyond words....
It appears the South Side didn't pass Brill-O's Sylvia's test.
~
He's a reprehensible, cowardly POS.
I'm seein' too many colored people gettin' free money from the white folk . .
(particularly chinatown, which is located on south cermak/22nd st). so, o'reilly, which part of the southside are you referring to?
They're both incredibly corrupt.
There's a few similarities.
But ok, that was a pretty dumb and inappropriate comment. But of course the notion that ol' Pat doesn't care about Haiti because they buddied up to Satan is bogus.
Of course the South Side's problems, like Detroit's problems, like Massachusetts' problems, like New Orleans' problems, like California's problems are all a result of nanny state policies that had the best of intentions, but had the worst results.
Yeah, Papa Doc was a real lefty liberal pinko commie-lover.
And Detroit's problems have nothing to do with the almost entire collapse of our auto industry and industry in general? New Orleans has nothing to do with the collapse of the oil industry in the 80s-90s?
Insofar as Massachusetts' problem, they just elected it.
And while we're on the subject, just what are the problems in the South Side, Detroit, Massachusetts, New Orleans and California, and how were they a result of the nanny state?
Kind of like what happens to all the money world governments send to Haiti?
Let me explain something. What O'Reilly said is a joke in the form of an exaggeration. There is an element of truth, which makes it funny, but he wasn't literally equating Haiti and the south side of Chicago. We'll need at least a few more years of Obama for that to be true.
It is not the ---'s job to support either the Dem's or the Republicans as the rule over them both.
"We hate the government. We don't trust the government. We don't think the government can do anything right."
Which is is going to be, boys? Seems like you might get a cramp in your jaw talking out of both sides of your mouth like that.
So, when Rightwing clumpminges come along and tell us not to trust the government, they are telling us not to trust the system the founders put into place.
Seems pretty simple to me. Beck and O'Reilly hate the Constitution and they hate the US.
Funny the right whines about Hollywood so much. They love bad actors like Beck.
-- George Washington
Perhaps what you are writing means that George Washington was an anti-American, Constitution hater as well??? How can that be?
I think if you had a little more reason to go with that resolve, you might figure it out.
Sane people: Give up your mail service, police protection, libraries, hospitals, Medicare and Social Security, to name a few.
Wingnuts: NEVER!
I have been to Chicago's South Side, even staying there, on several occasions. All I can say is Billo needs to get out more in the real world.
True patriotism, Billious.
Wouldn't it make more sense to watch the O'Reilly Factor to get your Beck-and-O'Reilly-in-the-same-room orgasm?
Save your money on unnecessary expenses.
Why don't they just point their backsides towards each other and fart? The result is about the same...
I'm hardly defending him here - that comment is among the most racist and deplorable things he's ever said, which is quite an accomplishment. But I don't think he's so callous as to say that the South Side of Chicago is like Haiti after the earthquake.
If this is from the "Bold and Fresh Tour", then it couldn't have been January of 2009. MMFA would be well advised to fix that typo.
You're right to point out the date on the video. But if it was only a typo and was proven to have taken place on January 23rd, 2010, would you change your mind about the callousness of the remark?
Sometimes I think I'm drawn to be a bit more defensive of him because I know a lot of people who share much of his political views. Although I disagree with nearly everything he says, it's not his views that are the problem. Rather, he'll say anything to defend them, works solely on character assassination, and as this clip so forcefully proves, cares nothing about others.
I personally don't hate O'Reilly: I just think this kind of statement is ridiculously ugly, unfair and incendiary. As you say, O'Reilly will certainly do everything he can to defend these sorts of remarks, and that's his job. The problem is structural: if O'Reilly didn't make this kind of comparison, FNC would just hire someone else who would, and an audience would buy tickets to hear it.
FRESH? Not according to what I'm smellin'.
I'd like proof. He's a friggin' blowhard.
And those reports have been all over the news recently, Bill.
How is it that you're stuck in your bogus declaration that Haiti is unrepairable, that it never gets any better, that basically it can't get better?
If that was his point, why bring up Haiti so soon after a massive natural disaster? There are a number of comparisons he could have made to try to support that point that wouldn't have implicated Haiti.
Or -- and what a bold and fresh idea this would have been -- he could have just said it without a comparison at all.
Bill, although you think like the devil, you have a small mind. Obama has the mind of a great man, that believe he can do great things. All you conservatives/Republicans (obstructionist) have to do is stay out of his way.
When is someone finally going to tell these two that nobody really gives a d@mn what they think or what they have to say? Wouldn't the best weapon against these two be a constant reminder that they don't matter? In the end, what really is the best way to destroy a paranoid narcissist?
First BO says that government can't solve "the problems", which is a mandatory chant in conservative dogma. True to conservative form, a few sentences later BO says the problems in Haiti are because "they don't have a system."
In the conservative dictionary, "system" must never be used in the definition of "government."
Correcting Saint Ronnie's famous campaign quip, we get "I got elected to the government and I'm here to make sure it gets turned into schit."
Studies of twins have confirmed that genetics play a part in social behavior and sensibilities.
Looking back at what Duhhbya and Dick did to the U.S. and what the current crop of conservative crazies is constantly calling for, we have more proof that conservatives must carry some really broken behavioral gene.
Now if we just isolate it...
Man I was just in Chicago last week. Did I miss the 82nd Airborne there????
Oh! That is only in Haiti.
SMH at Bill'O!
I understand their basic tricks of repeating things and all those other things they do, but on some fundamental level peoples mind must once in a while just think "wait, that sentence didn't make a whole lotta sense..."
So Bill, which charities do you support, and why aren't they making things any better there?
