Bill Oreilly and Katrina gun-grab

He does not see the 2nd as a RIGHT - he sees it as a privilege that the government should be able to give or take based on "need" -elitist
 
Unfortunately, the ONLY effective way to deal with this lunacy is to hit them in the pocketbook. At the end of the day all the media cares about is profits, it's no longer about 'news' or keeping people informed.

The real statistics on legal gun ownership, CCW, etc and the dramatic drop in violent crime and murder in those jurisdictions is just not being out out there as aggressively and blatantly as it should be.

"Our" NRA should be spending money distributing these statistics in every piece of mail, in every newspaper in America, as widely as possible.

Here's a strategy that will get their attention: write to the head of the news department, the CFO, the CEO of every tv network and tell them you won't patronize any of their advertisers if they continue to spread nonsense as news. Write to the ADVERTISERS themselves and tell them you will NOT buy their products since they are obviously against our freedoms. Make noise. But make it where it hurts them - in their bank accounts. Then we'll see how fast things change.

Woah there Bill! If ever there's a time when law abiding citizens should exercise their right to bear arms it's when social order collapses like during the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. Are you a Patriot or Pinhead Bill? His stance on the gun grab makes him the latter...

I wish that just once, he'd have somebody on who's quick on their feet and would ask,

"Well Bill, since a big chunk of the NOPD either ran away or was too busy themselves looting to 'protect' people, should officers, the department and the city be monetarily liable for damages to anyone NOT 'protected' by the police?"

That would leave him with the choice of:

a. ADMITTING that he couldn't give a Pelosi about "the folks" and just expects them to be passive, silent victims of the first atavistic beast that comes along to savagely exploit them.

b. Pitting himself against the Fraternal Order of Police.

He'd have a seizure and fall backward out of his chair like John Belushi in his "Luck of the Irish" skit.
 
Billy Bob O'rielly is just a typical RINO Republikin Liberal who is a conservative when it comes to "his money", but a fruit cake Liberal when it comes to Social Issues.
Anti Death Penality,
Anti Gun.
Thinks the US Constitution can be given and taken back at a whim.

Typical East Coast Liberal....
I'm not very smart, but I figured out what he was about 15 minutes into the first show of his I watched. Nothing New Here.

A Conservative Poser who wants the rest of the media to consider him the "Go To Guy" in all things conservative.

Rule 303
 
I remember one of O'Reilly's radio shows that my wife and I were listening to on the truck radio while I was sighting in my AR carbine with iron sights. It was during the then unsloved sniper shootings in the Virginia area. O'Reilly opined that the shootings were proof that the shooter was a highly trained sniper because an average person could not make those shots. The distances were really not that great. My wife doesn't shoot much and had never fired an AR but I asked her to shoot an IPSC target at 100 yards with my rifle. She placed all 5 rounds in the body A zone of the IPSC target. So much for O'reillys firearms expertise.
 
I must say, I am getting tired of his e-mails where he continually mentions ad nauseum how somone loved page 67 or 76 or 89 of his book to boost sales....but his show isn't news, it's commentary...usually semi-hot blonde commentary...which makes it entertaining....still, we should all write him and express our opinion on this matter....:)

A friend, who is an EXCELLENT rifle shot (once 12th F-Class shooter in the world) suffered from the same delusion. I shot him down (metaphorically) by noting that all available evidence indicated that whoever was doing the shooting wasn't doing anything that any basic trainee didn't have to do to get out of basic training (and not even basic COMBAT training). As it turned out, we were of course right.
 
Bill O'Reilly usually gives me a headache. He's so wrong at times... And yet he thinks if he says it loud enough, he'll be right. To be fair, a lot of media commentators suffer from this (Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, etc.). In fact, I don't even watch the shows anymore, because the only thing that is left spinning is my eyeballs when I think of all the stuff they're trying to feed me. Very rarely does a decent piece on guns ever come up (John Stossel had that good one on 20/20, though).

Also, the Katrina gun grab was one of the worst moments in our history in regards to gun owners, IMO. A mistake that I hope is never repeated. It flies in the face of exactly what the 2nd amendment is there for, does it not?

Of course, he's the first to let you know that he knows everything. Last night he was going on about how he knew Military Law, and then he argues with Megyn Kelly about law when she's the one with the law degree... Amazing.

Then again, nothing beats the night he said "I know reality better than anyone". Yeah, you would say that, in your $3000 suit and tie, pretending you give two nickels about 'the folks'. You better wise up, O'Reilly. We're on to you.

It was no more of a "mistake" than forcing the Japanese-Americans into concentration camps. They were both calculated CHOICES, intended as naked power grabs.
 
That segment would have been a good one for Lou Dobbs to intervue.

Is he still part of FOX? I haven't seen him on O'Reilly since a couple of short subjects when he first came over from CNN.

O'Reilly skips over too many important points with a wave of the hand. Not letting someone explain, interupting them, and generally pushing the conversation towards an end that meets his show entertainment value rather than what may perhaps be a truer picture.

Sometimes in their haste, people show their true colors. I think that's the case here.

Gotta keep those ratings up there..
 
I distinctly remember him being Pro-Gun after the Katrina crap. He said, basically, Look! A perfect example of why you need to be able to defend yourself. The police couldn't get to these people to help them.
 
TO ANY JUNKIES WHO MAY BE LURKING:

I believe mr. O'Reilly lives in Connecticut.
(Not sure. Look it up.)

Why worry about where your next fix is comin' from during a weather emergency?!

Just put your shopping list together, steal a snowmobile, and hit O'Reilly's place. Safe as mother's milk, you'll be.

TaTa.

living on the texas gulf coast all my life, i have been through many hurricanes. About 15 yrs ago,,me,my family(8 people),and three dogs,had to evacuate. if you've never been through an evacuation,you cant imagine the unrest,and fear in everyones mind.
two highways were merging into one lane,and it was a major traffic jam. a car broke ranks and was headed for the highway,trying to go around everyone. they pulled up along side my van and started honking for me to move,however i had no where to move to. the car had about 6 young guys all drinking, and singing to a sound system that rattled my windows. they got out and were laughing and singing,like this was a big party to them. that was one time i wish i had a shotgun or handgun. you could tell everyone around us were scared and defenseless. Luckily ,a Texas highway patrol came up behind us and arrested these guys, after searching their car and i assume took them to jail. people are crazy even before the hurricane hits. it took us 14 hours, in a packed car to find a place to stay.Hurricane Ike (2007) did the most damage to our area. our local beach,crystal beach, was completely gone,nothing was standing,,looked like the after math of an atomic bomb.

And the first 15 minutes of his show is dedicated to how great Fox News is doing in the ratings, thanks to him.

We've just about had it with him and his self-promotion/congratulations. His true color has come out and it's green.
 
He lost me when he had to write a seven million dollar check to get out of his sexual harrassment predicament. I guess he realized he couldn't refute audio tapes. Mr. Culture Warrior is a perv, and won't discuss it any further:

I won't post a direct link since there is some distinctly non-family friendly content, but if you go to the site and search for O'Reilly, you'll find it.

I don't why your guys keep calling him a right wing conservative. He's not! Not even close.

He calls himself an independant, but seems he has been leaning further left since obama got into office. He constantly defends him if a guest should attack obama.

Mostly the only reason we watch him now is to catch a good conservative guest....like Ann Coulter!

Megan told him twice he was wrong but he glossed it over so you wouldnt notice, well I noticed Bill!! your way wrong on this and I dont want Anything to do with him or people like him. These are the people to be carefull about!!!
 
I love how he teaches "The Folks" a big, hard word every day. I have trouble with big words, so thanks for the help Bill.

Now I'm clinging to my guns, my religion... and my dictionary too!

Last I heard it was Glen Cove on the Island , LI, NY
 
Bill O is one of the few who offers an opinion that is of his own rather than partisan pap.

While I may not agree with him on all views, I'm not sure it's time to throw him overboard as some traitor to the American cause.
 
I'm not a Bill O'Reilly fan and seldom watch his show. He seems so pompous and self important that I doubt anybody can teach him anything.
 
Pissed me off so much and he's so dead wrong, I sent hin this email at Fox:

With all due respect, you are all wet on gun confiscation.

The government is NEVER allowed to confiscate firearms from law abiding citizens - ever.

The Constitution and Bill of Rights spells this out clearly.

We are citizens, not subjects.

Disasters and emergencies are exactly the time a citizen needs to be armed.

Overzealous government agencies and the intelligentsia notwithstanding, I'll stick to the Constitution and Bill of Rights, you can observe and obey all the unconstitutional dictates you please.

As Ben Franklin said, "an unconstitutional law is no law."

A cell phone can be a great defensive, weapon! It just depends which phone...:rolleyes:

I've heard enough of these double talking blowhards. I knew there was a reason I stopped watching most TV.
