O'Reilly buys Obama propaganda on Syria
Renew America ^ | 9-8-13 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on 09/08/2013 9:50:16 PM PDT by ReformationFan

Bill O'Reilly objects to "bloviating," which I think means giving opinions not based on fact. So what should we make of his claim that "I believe there is overwhelming evidence that the Syrian tyrant Assad did gas civilians, including children." Where is the "overwhelming evidence?"

One day earlier, O'Reilly had claimed, "The evidence is strong that Assad violated the Geneva Convention by using poison gas to kill civilians."

So in the course of one day, the evidence had gone from "strong" to "overwhelming." On what basis did this occur? O'Reilly doesn't say.

I submit that O'Reilly is engaged in bloviating.

O'Reilly, who is about to begin celebrating his 18th year on the air as the host of the most popular Fox News program, is doing tremendous damage to the notion that he can be relied upon for "fair and balanced" coverage of the major issues of the day.

This is far more serious than an error O'Reilly made when he came under fire for falsely claiming that no Republicans were invited to the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington. "The mistake? Entirely on me," O'Reilly said.

In the case of going to war, a far more serious matter than talking about invitations to a civil rights event, O'Reilly makes claims that parrot Obama's talking points, but he offers no evidence to substantiate them.

On this issue, O'Reilly should rename his "Talking Points Memo" the "Obama Talking Points Memo." He is one of the best allies that Obama has going for him as he attempts to persuade conservatives in the House to vote for war.

His network is Saudi owned. The Saudis want Sunni extremists to take over, and are funding the insurgents.

Shoot, they even say they’d be happy to pay for Americans to do the fighting and dying while their lazy sons stay home laughing at us.

He has the most popular program only because he has the best time slot.

O’Reilly is a pompous ass of little intellect.

People watch him because there is nothing else on at that hour.

I haven’t watched O’Reilly in years.
But this sounds like he was slobbering to get this interview with The Won.

Sorry dude, Chris Wallace won.

Perhaps BOR would like to join the attack forces? Given such a chance in 71, he opted to get a teaching deferment in South Florida. Once the draft was essentially over, he decided teaching was not in his future. Now he is the epitome of a pro military attack supporter. I had to turn him off a few days ago when he had two former colonels telling him we need to stay out of Syria. Stratego champion BOR telling the military guys what would be the right thing to do!

I quit watching him years ago when the Saudis bought him-—and he quit referring to the “muslim” youths who were burning cars as “muslim”. Such a coward and liar (by omission) which is evil).

Another interesting thing is how sympathetic to homosexual behavior he is-—since the Saudis prefer little boys for sex. Seems like since the Saudis were allowed to fly out after 9/11—as if they owned America-—there is a big push to normalize homosexual marriage/sodomy promotion in Kindergartens/Boy Scouts, etc. They really are forcing Christian Ethics out of the minds of the masses and paganism in.

Trying to get us ready for the NWO when polygamy/sodomy/pederasty/slavery will be the norm again (Worldview) like in pagan/occult cultures and like in the muslim countries of today.

They’re happy to provide chemical weapons to the insurgents too. and then blow them up so Obama can blame Assad for using chemical weapons.

He has the most popular program only because he has the best time slot.

The time slot helps, but BOR has the most popular program in large part because he has absolutely zero competition. If you're a conservative or any other thinking person and you cannot bring yourself to watch the pro-democRAT propaganda that passes for programming on all the liberal networks, what other choice do you have but to watch BOR?

If and when a network decides to air programming during BOR's time slot that isn't far left, programming that conservatives would want to see, O'Reilly's ratings would drop like a rock.

BOR has been in obama’s corner from the beginning.

I stopped watching the liberal asswipe in 2004 when I heard him say the Swift Boat Vets had no right to be heard. They fought for this country. So as far as I am concerned, they have more right than he does.

O’Reily also thought that Obama would lead from the center despite nothing in Obama’s rebid Alinski left wing history to support such a claim. O’Reily like Obama is not as smart as he thinks he is.

I watch O’Reilly every chance I get because it is entertainment. I do not go there expecting a pure conservative forum. It is strictly a variety of guests talking about a variety of subjects.

And you are right it is not Saudi owned. 7% does not make you an owner.
