Is Bill O'Reilly ready to take on Rush Limbaugh? (Ted Baxter as the voice of the RINOs?)

In response, Bill O' asked the logical question — but one that no right-winger in their right mind would have the temerity to ask, given the power of Limbaugh. "Why would President Obama purposely destroy the economy?"

Rush answers that almost every day it seems.

0 (as in 0bama not 0'Reilly) dogmatically asserts that the foundation of this country is immoral and that wealth must be transferred from those who have to those who don't for social justice reasons including punishment.

Rush cites 0's close connections to Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright as evidence among other things.

So that's why.

It's a perfectly fair question and one any good interviewer would put to Rush. Let Rush then back up his claim.

Notice, I haven't seen Obama or the Dem's criticize Rush for this statement. They don't want that idea spread, even in the attempt to refute it.

Am I wrong?

I like Bill O'Reilly. He does great work and has a great show. In my book, he's really an old-fashioned kind of crusading liberal editor that Hollywood used to make movies about (see Jessica's Law).

I don't know if it's a generational thing or due to his background in the MSM, but O'Reilly has two (at least) real big holes in his knowledge. First, he's clueless about economics and how a free market economy operates (see his conspiracy theory about speculators driving oil prices up and down). Also, check out Ann Coulter teaching O'Reilly about economics.

Second, he's clueless to that other 'eco' work, ecology. He's bought environmentalism hook, line and sinker.

Ignore him on these two issues and enjoy the rest of his program.

"Why would President Obama purposely destroy the economy?" O'Reilly asked. "When that would damage him and never get him re-elected."

Thw political backlash of a bad economy is nothing a good World War can't fix. Just ask FDR.

“If you destroy the economy, you can still get re-elected by using a compliant media to put the blame on someone else (such as George Bush or Wall Street), and then promise the voters relief from the misery that you caused.”

That’s exactly right! That’s also WHY he’s in such a big hurry to ruin the economy completely by pushing through health care, cap and trade, ect. He has to get this stuff done quickly so he can blame it on Bush and it will stick with the (stupid!) sheeple.

O’Reilly is a guy who measures success by how many books and doormats his show sells.

O’Reilly has tried this before and failed.

He used to have a radio show, like the rest, it is now dust like err amerika.

O’Reilly is just another tabloid tv hack. He was current affair and he still is current affair. BOR is all smoke and mirrors.

The sooner FNC replaces him with Beck, the better.

The BOR can go somewhere else with Shep Smith.

"Why would President Obama purposely destroy the economy?" O'Reilly asked. "When that would damage him and never get him re-elected." Touche. But it took O'Reilly to say it.

Anyone who has to ask this question, let alone agree with it, knows nothing about economic history and politics in this country. I'll give you a clue...

FDR

Because Obama knows once he gets all of his big government socialist programs in place, it would take an act of God to rescind them all, and he views the socialization of America and the punishment of Whitey as much bigger and important than that of himself or his Presidency.

Obama does not even bother with him.

Obama’s WH only goes after Beck and Rush.

BOR is irrelivant.
BOR is insignificant.
BOR add NOTHING to the public conversation.

BOR does not read enough to even get his facts straight half the time. How is he going to promote anything when he has no understanding of constitutional freedom and Marxism? Today he is a marxist. Tomorrow he is for freedom. The Marxist in him will kill the American in him right on tee vee.

Whoever wrote this is so stupid he thinks O’Reilly is a conservative? And that defending Obama will make him more popular than Limbaugh? This guy’s been drinking wood alcohol.
