On his radio show Monday morning, Bill Press took on this weekend’s Million Vet March by denouncing the participants as “idiots” who’ve been used by “right-wing organizations” to protest against their own best interests. Ultimately, he said, they shouldn’t be following people like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), they should be expressing public odium towards him.
“Absolutely drives me crazy,” Press said of Sunday’s protest activities. “Here’s what wrong with it,” he continued, “Those three idiots leading the protests, but they’re not the dumbest ones. The dumbest ones there are the idiots that are protesting. These are people, they call them vets. I wonder how many really were veterans. I don’t care if they were veterans; they don’t know what they hell they were doing.”
He accused the protestors of being used by right-leaning groups: “I think they were organized by Heritage Action. They were organized by, that’s Jim DeMint. They were organized by Americans for Prosperity, that’s the Koch brothers. These people, again, don’t know what the hell they’re doing, don’t know what they’re saying, don’t realize they’re being used by these right-wing organizations, and they’re being used by them to argue against something that’s in their own best interest.”
He continued on to express bewilderment at the movement’s support for Texan Sen. Cruz:
“I mean, how dumb can they be? Don’t they realize that the guys that they were cheering yesterday, Ted Cruz, is the guy behind the shutdown? He’s the guy, doesn’t everybody know that? Not those idiots. He’s the guys that came up with this idea that has proven to be a colossal failure. That the way to destroy and kill and get rid of Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act is to shutdown the government. That was his idea adopted by the House Republicans and it’s a total failure. Total failure. And we wouldn’t have entered the shutdown yet, but they’ve abandoned the idea of getting rid of Obamacare.”
Press concluded: “Everybody says it’s never gonna happen, so why are they why are they following Ted Cruz. They should have been hanging him in effigy at the Memorial. They should have been booing him.”

Bill Press, another liberal son of a bitch too stupid to be an idiot.
Wouldn’t it be nice if Mr. Press were to run into a Marine in a back alley?
When all this shutdown nonsense is over and the dust has settled, people are not going to remember the stalemate over the budget or the debt ceiling... They’re not really going to even think about ObamaCare which, one could argue, is what caused the shutdown in the first place.
What people will remember are the images of our war memorials being barricaded shut, for no reason other than spite.
Bill Putz can’t even tie his shoes.
just imagine the cries of racism if conservatives ever hung an effigy of the current POTUS...
I ran into Bill Press in a Newport Beach hotel restroom in 2004. Another person and I were thinking about confronting him about his politics but he was drunk so we backed off.
This man, along with Micahel Moore, would be before a firing squad for treason if we were living in true America.
I don’t care what Press says or thinks, but it is going to be very interesting to see how history records these events.
If, as Karl Rove and Mr. Press and most other political operatives think, Ted Cruz picked the wrong strategy and damaged the Party, that should become apparent and he will doubtless pay a price for it.
On the other hand, every journey starts with a single step, and history always notes the singular events associated with key events - such as the bombardment and surrender of Ft. Sumpter that marked the beginning of the Civil War.
Or maybe a more apt analogy would be the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in 1914 that set off a chain-reaction that led to World War 1 less than a month later.
To many this came as a shock, but the assassination was really a trigger event that touched-off the war which had been building for a long time. Similar pressures exist today, and one can argue that Sen. Cruz’s speech could be the trigger for whatever happens next with the shutdown/budget/debt ceiling/Obamacare crisis.
The wheels are in motion, but we cannot know how things will turn out. But it will be very interesting indeed.
Dear Mr. Magoo,
If you had opened your eyes and looked, you could have read their signs, their hat insignia, coat insignia, shirt insignia or just seen the teed off look in their eyes. Either one would have told you they were veterans trying to get to one of their own memorials.
Awesome job men and women. You went right up to the line of getting arrested. If you had walked away with a barrycade they could have arrested you for theft. But hey, other then Obama, who the heck wants a barrycade ? They sent in that formation of baby blue coats consisting of small statured men and women to see if they could promote an assault. But hey, other then Obama, who the heck wanted to see that line of police attacked ?
The next move is his.
CAUSE they know they are traitors.. and not true believers in communism..
They have a point...

"A picture is worth ten thousand words.."
What a pig.
There are a handful of leftists talk show hosts/TV talking heads, who are certifiably insane, and Bill Press is right up there with:
* Ed Schulz
* Chris Matthews
* Lawrence O’Donnell
* Al Sharpton (besides being a con artist par excellance)
* Mike Malloy
He’s so crazy and full of hate that no reputable insane asylum would have him as a patient. That’s why he’s in radio, a haven for the mentally ill with a good voice.
In the confusion of the first few days one might plausibly argue that Obama had not realized that the park service was wasting resources to punish veterans, and had not had a chance to correct them. Now there is no more doubt. Obama is punishing veterans on purpose. He is the lowest of the lowest low as he sits protected by their blood.
Poking the bear with a stick has killed many a fool.
I am glad he got some coverage. No one listens to his radio show. Otherwise, I would not know what a douche this guy is.
Figured this would be about that Mike Molloy fellow.
Tom Hartmann, he’s real radical too, have to add him to that list, radio host on the same stations that run Schultz basically.
Bill Press is one of the most vile of the lefty talking heads and has been for years. Just an obscene, putrid little man.
Bill Who?
I thought it was Michael “Savage”.
Cruz and Palin should have stayed away. Sunday was about the vets, but being stinking politicians they couldn’t resist stealing the spotlight from the vets.
and then within two seconds...... "These are people, they call them vets. I wonder how many really were veterans. I don’t care if they were veterans;..."
this dirt bag can't keep a thought
Nothing matters right now aside from removing/punishing the traitors. We WILL continue to lose our liberty and prosperity as long as the control the government. Elections will continue to be stolen. A lot of state congresses are doing a great job, working very hard, but will come to naught if the traitors aren’t dealt with. Any red state can be turned blue.
and then within two seconds...... “These are people, they call them vets. I wonder how many really were veterans. I don’t care if they were veterans;...”
this dirt bag can’t keep a thought
Lib on Foxnews last night said the WWII vets should have been arrested for breaking the law.
Jackson Lee wants Martial Law to keep vets away from the monuments...
Cruz and Palin should have stayed away. ....................... I guess their handlers didn’t see the whole picture. This was more for the Vets than the Tea party photo op. Vets are members of both parties and I’d say mostly Independents with a lean to the right. If it was strictly Vets, that one Confederate Flag would not have drawn the criticism it had.
AHh, Bill Press... Good little Bolshevik Useful Idiot for the commie left...
Reading his Talking Points memo, making sure he’s on the “Demonize Ted Cruz At All Costs” meme...
Never misses an opportunity to show what a piece of crap is, and never fails to disappoint.
In a world of constant uncertainty... it’s GOOD to realize that some things are in fact constant... and Press being a douchebag is a one of those things...
Typical leftist arrogance in action: “I know your best interests better than you do, you stupid peon.”
I guess those lib talking heads never gave it a thought as to why those illegal aliens were not arrested last week on the National Mall.
Governor Palins son is in the Army.Sunday was for the vets. It was about America, the real America. Cruz I haven’t made a judgement on yet, Governor Palin scores high in my book. The vets didn’t seem to mind at all her being there. My great regret is that I never served. What’s yours?
Governor Palins son is in the Army.
Thats good, but she still should have known she would be a lightning rod and draw attention away from the vets. She and Cruz made themselves into the perfect gift to the lib media Sunday.
Screw the lib media. Maybe you haven’t noticed but here at Free Republic we don’t give a rats ass what the liberal media thinks. I didn’t notice the veterans having any problem with Governor Palin being there. I don’t know for certain but I wouldn’t be surprised if she and Cruz were invited.
Who is this person?
I never even heard of him.
I hope all three of his listeners were impressed by his tirade.
I love it when they rant because they expose themselves most proudly.

You had best start giving a damn what the lib media thinks considering how dominant they are and how successful they have been in brainwashing people and re-writing history. And vets on Foxnews have said they wished the politicians had STAYED AWAY from THEIR event.
