Bill O'Reilly Photographed Palling Around With Terrorist Supporter Medea Benjamin
Friday, March 19, 2010 | Kristinn

Photo from the Washington Examiner

The Fox News Channel's number one star, Bill O'Reilly, host of The O'Reilly Factor, was photographed palling around with terrorist supporter Medea Benjamin at Wednesday night's Radio and TV Correspondents Dinner in Washington.

Benjamin is a co-founder, along with Barack Obama funder Jodie Evans, of the terrorist support group Code Pink.

O'Reilly has made Benjamin a frequent guest on The Factor without ever challenging her on her support for Hamas, al Qaeda, the Taliban and Hezbollah, nor her work with state sponsors of terrorism including Iran, Syria, Cuba and the government of the late dictator Saddam Hussein.

Benjamin has waged psychological warfare against American troops and their children on the homefront while aiding those trying to kill them overseas. Code Pink has repeatedly called our troops baby killers, the terrorists, murderers, assassins and more, yet O'Reilly treats Benjamin as a friend.

Up until 2005, Code Pink used to protest Fox News, now they pal around with Fox's number one star.

I may be new to this site, but at least I know the rules. NO PERSONNEL ATTACKS. your post 36

If you can’t handle differences in opinion, then get of this site you jerk.your post 22

Yeah, you know the rules, alright.

And it's "personal", not "personnel".

Please. I've been freeping outside media dinners like this one. If someone doesn't want to be photographed with you they don't stop and pose for the cameras with you.

If David Duke went up to O'Reilly with a KKK banner do you think O'Reilly would stop and pose with him?

“When a seasoned member of FR asks a new member to get a bit more informed, it is not “hatred.” It is a courtesy to a newbie - or a pushback to a disruptor.”

I was called a noob, douchebag, mocked over a typo, mocked for not being on FR for long, accused of not knowing history (like they know me), and accused of being a troll. Why? Because I don’t see what the deal is about O’Reilly taking this picture. I never heard of any terrorist connection. From the post, it seemed as if the poster was calling Code Pink a terrorist group just because they were anti-war. Someone could have just gave me a link about the connections. They didn’t have to verbally assault me like that.

You seem to have missed this in comment #16, so here it is again. troops. Click here for several articles published by Big Government detailing Code Pink's work with terrorists and state sponsors of terrorism.

Bill O’Reily serves a purpose.

Is he a conservative??? No.

Do we all agree with him on his political views?? No

However, he does an excellent job of exposing BOTH the Code Pink nut jobs and more importantly, the pedophiles,especially NAMBLA, during his broadcasts.

He should be commended for this.

Yes, I got the link. And thank you for that. My frustration was not directed at you. Just those who felt the need to chastise me like they did.

Sorry x82, but I've been here 11 years too and I think you're kind of being an a$$ here. For some reason you're spooling up on a difference of opinion and making a mountain out of a molehill.

And, for the record I agree with both you and EternalSoldier....I think that BOR has not excoriated Code Pink anywhere near as much as he should have and I also think that this picture looks like he was "ambushed" as he was going into an event. I do not believe the picture shows him "palling around" with the Pinkos.

Well I would like to think this isn’t a place where people attack the new guy.

Even paranoids have enemies. We are so frequently inundated with lying leftist seminar posters that we tend to harbor suspicion of newcomers. If you are one of them, go away. If you are one of us, just a bit newer, try to clear up the misunderstanding and realize that we don't all agree on everything.

Let’s be fair. He was almost certainly ambushed in a public area with cameras all around.

He'd have gotten more respect on this board if he'd been photographed giving them the finger!

He gives ALL leftist organizations the benefit of doubt... but the SWIFT BOAT VETERANS FOR THRUTH were all right-wing nuts and liars... even though there were 19 Medal Of Honor recipients amongst the crew. Screw loofah boy.

AT LAST !!!!!!

Last night's "Factor" was notable. In between giving Obama his usual "benefit of the doubt" on the talking points and having to "be fair" to the ACLU, O'Reilly was soundly slammed by Bernie Goldberg, one of about only three BOR guests that has the cajones to stand up to him and his bullying.

On last night's show, Bernie had enough of Bill's interruptions, put-downs, demeaning remarks, smugness, know-it-allness plus the abasement and disrespect of Goldberg's professional status as a bona fide journalist.

Bernie let His Pithiness have it out of both barrels and he stood his ground despite Bill's efforts to throw him off stride....and Bernie didn't mince his words, either. It was a JOY to behold.

Bravo Bernie!

Why pros like Morris, Stossel and others are routinely lectured to, countermanded, humiliated, belittled and insulted by the know-nothing Bloviator....and swallow it like pinatas.....is beyond me.

It can only be because they need their Factor fees and show's exposure which enables them to make further money in speaking engagements, books, articles, etc.

O'Reilly and some of his merry guests are starting to remind me of congress. A likeable but incestuous group, selling books and souls for the privilege of kissing O'Reilly's sorry butt every week.

Thanks, Bernie, for breaking out of the pack. Let's hope the others are encouraged by your spine and independence.

I can’t stand O’Reilly as he preens for the camera. Whenever I see him preaching, my vision is him on Inside edition which at the time was a mix of tabloid crime stories, investigations, and celebrity gossip. Bill loves the camera and will do anything to be “on”. Makes me wonder “who carries his head” when he goes anyplace.

You are spot on, Kristinn.

I'd like to contribute to your considerable knowledge of Code Pink the fact that Wikipedia has a complete list of Bill O'Reilly's REGULAR GUESTS list.....and the name of Medea Benjamin (aka Susan Benjamin) sticks out like a sore thumb.

Her REGULAR paid appearances on the Factor give vitally-needed exposure to enable this anti-American, anti-war, troops-despising anarchist to make even more money in speaking appearances, article-writing, college-campus-hopping as a lecturer, and the like.

The Bloviator will just sit back and say in his faux-elite, arrogant, condescending, smug, know-it-all manner that he has her on "just to be fair" to both sides.

BS, O'Reilly. You are a clever leftist.....one of the best I personally have ever seen and heard......but we are catching up with you every day that passes.

Everyone talks to everyone at these events. Laura Ingraham said on her raido show she was joking around with Ben Nelson. Pictures without context mean nothing.
