VANITY -- BOYCOTT O'REILLY THURSDAY NIGHT
Self ^ | 2 Sep 08 | Laverne

Posted on 09/02/2008 6:27:17 PM PDT by Laverne

Please Boycott FNC at 8PM on Thursday Night. O'Reilly, the ultimate panderer will interview Obama on the VERY NIGHT THAT MCCAIN ACCEPTS THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION.

It is not only unprecedented for the opposing candidate to intrude on the acceptance speech, it is beyond belief that FNC would permit Mr. O'Reilly to pander and kiss up to Obama.

BOYCOTT 8PM HOUR ON THURSDAY NIGHT.

This is my first vanity ever, but I'm shocked that O'Reilly and FNC would agree to such pandering.

Bill has been trashing the MSM advocacy of Obama. Might he ask some serious questions of The One in a way that nobody else has had the journalistic huevos to do?

Bill is and always has been a suck up. Most nights I do boycott him.

I will have to say that I’m alittle surprised he is falling for this after all this time of trying to get bambi on his show. Pretty pathetic.

Though i’m not a huge fan of O’Reilly, I will watch the interview. There’s a chance he’ll actually ask some tough questions. If he throws him softballs, or let’s him escape without answering a tough question, then I’ll turn the channel.

LOL! I've been boycotting him for years. Nothing worse than an obnoxious bloviating jerk.

BOR complains how all media types are in the tank for BHO. But, BOR himself has been pandering to BHO with his lightweight reporting just to secure an interview. BOR has no class to put his show ahead of McCain's night. If the shoe were on the other foot I doubt the outcome would be the same. Fox should move the time slot....

I don’t believe this.

Somebody just told Obambi his speech never included the platform so O’Reilly is going to give him a do-over?

During the convention? What horse puckey is this?

If someone would actually ask Obama some real questions I might be interested in watching.

Don’t boycott him-tell him not to throw softballs. Give him a list of questions to ask Osama.

My email to O’Reilly:
Mr. O’Reilly:
I’ve been a loyal viewer of the Factor for the past 7 years. IF you throw Obama softballs during your upcoming interview, you can consider me a former viewer. This guy has gotten a free pass from the entire mainstream, leftwing media establishment for far too long. I wanted to pass you some questions that perhaps you might use because they’re relevant to people being informed about their choice in November. Thank you sir.

1.) Senator Obama, when and under what cirumstances did you first meet William Ayers?

2.) Records from the Chicago Annenberg Foundation show that domestic terrorist William Ayers, along with Anne Hallett, co-founded the organization in 1995. How then, and when, did you come to be elected as Chariman of the Board for the Chicago Annenberg Foundation? Who appointed you to this important position of this new organization?

3.) You told the American people that Bill Ayers was simply “a guy who lives in my neighborhood.” Yet recently released and reviewed documents for the CAC show a close working relationship between the CAC Board, which you presided over, and the Collaborative, which William Ayers presided over. Can you expound on the extent of your interaction with Ayers while working at the CAC?

3b.) Can you explain why over $100 million was spent on the CAC with little to no positive results (according to CAC records) to show for?

4.) Given Ayers’ radical views on education reform (”education is the motor-force of revolution”), shouldn’t one conclude that you share somewhat similar views, since you served as Chairman of the Board for the organization he started?

4b.) In 2007, Linda Darling-Hammond, a prominent professor at the Stanford University School of Education, in an article in The Nation, endorsed the idea of “education debt,”-defined as the repayment of centuries of “education debt” that allegedly is owed to people of color as a result of slavery and discrimination. This idea is also endorsed by William Ayers. In late 2007, Darling-Hammond was named an education advisor to your campaign. In February 2008, Darling-Hammond issued a blueprint for education reform by the next President that set as its #1 priority the repayment of the “education debt,” as proposed originally by University of Wisconsin Professor and former President of the American Education Research Association (AERA), Gloria Ladson-Billings.

Senator Obama, can you explain to the American people exactly what education debt is and if you espouse this idea? If not, why do you have someone that eschews such radical ideas serving as an education advisor for your campaign?

5.) According to CAC records, in 1995, an Implementation Grant of $175,000 was given to the Small Schools Workshop, headed by Mike Klonsky. The Workshop had been founded by Bill Ayers in 1992 and was headed up by his former Weather Underground comrade and hardcore Maoist, Mike Klonsky. What is the extent of your relationship with this former Weather Underground collaborator of William Ayers? What role did he play in the CAC?

5b.) Klonsky also hosts his own blog on your official website. Is this something you’re proud of Senator?

6.) You and Ayers also served together on the board of the Woods Fund. Do you mean to say, that you never had any formal relationship with Ayers during all your time as Chairman of the CAC and while serving on the Woods Fund board?

7.) Can you explain why your campaign for the Illinois senate was kicked off at a meet and greet at the home of William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn in 1995? Was this before or after you were named Chairman of the Board for the CAC?

8.) Your campaign manager David Axelrod said you have a friendly relationship with Ayers. Why would Axelrod come to such a conclusion if you have no relationship with Ayers?

9.) Before the CAC was dissolved in 2001, you stayed with the organization as a consultant of sorts. Do you know who the donor of the CAC records to the University of Illinois-Chicago library is, that initially restricted access to these files at the Richard Daley Library? Do you know why access to these records, which are currently being examined, was initially restricted after Stanley Kurtz requested them?

9b.) Senator Obama, can you explain why your campaign would contact the Department of Justice (twice), in regards to trying to prevent a perfectly legal advertisment from being run by the American Issues Project, regarding your relationship with Bill Ayers?

10.) Senator Obama, would you like to apologize to the American people for being dishonest about the extent of your relationship with Bill Ayers and admit that you made some very poor decisions in judgment to associate yourself with this self admitting, domestic terrorist?

Bonus Question:

In a 9/2/2008 article, Cliff Kincaid says that the mentor you refer to as “Frank” in your book The Audacity of Hope, will soon be reveraled to have been the subject of an FBI investigation for 19 years and that his FBI file is 600 pages long. Davis was included in the FBI’s “security index,” meaning that he could be arrested and detained in the event of a national security emergency. Can you explain how a highly visible communist party member, could be viewed as a mentor?

Boycott will be easy, as I haven’t watched him in years. I find him very boring.
