OPEN LETTER TO BILL O'REILLY

Vanity ^ | Saturday, November 15, 2008 | Gargantua

[Gargantua]

Hi Bill,

In your recent Townhall piece you posit that there are Republicans who feel that

Governor Palin is too unqualified to lead, so it's better for them if they maginalize

her now so they won't have to deal with her again in 2012.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Her assailants, from the Right and the Left (and the media..., ahem) have seen

what she has done in Alaska as Governor. Huge Oil Company lobbies shut down.

Oil revenues going into the hands of the voters. Powerful, entrenched "old boy network"

mavens gone, castrated, or in jail... Democrats and Republicans.

Palin's attackers have no misgivings about her ability to lead. They see what she's done

in just two years in the Great White North, and they are justifiably terrified. They watch her

draw 30,000 screaming rally-goers in the same city where Biden drew 400, and their

bowels loosen.

For one as astute as you to imply that their concern, for good or ill, is over her

qualifications or ability to lead... ...really only speaks to your own candor and integrity. You can fool

some of us some of the time, but you don't fool me with your subtle innuendo. And as for

Palin's public detractors; their redeeming speck is that they at least don't masquerade as a

spin-free impartial observer who is "looking out for me."

Standing in for your conscience

while it's on vacation,

(Name redacted for FR)
Warren, MA

I am so sick and tired of this holier-than-thou plastic Narcissus pontificating as though he had some magical glasses that let him see what we all are missing. Just want him to know that he doesn't fool me one bit.

You?

[gunnyg]

o’pinhead has nothing of any value to scream; ignore him and he can do no harm!

After all, he’s only an announcer, and not a very good one at that....
Semper pinhead

I agree completely.

Many times Bill IS right. In fact, maybe even most of the time.

But not always... and when he is wrong he seems to be completely incapable of accepting that. Even when some of his other Fox hosts call him (like Greta or Megan Kelly).

He doesn’t like Palin because she didn’t appear on his show. Plain and simple. Never mind the fact that McCain wouldn’t let her.

[Elkiejg]

DITTO, DITTO, DITTO!!!! Love it - please tell me you actually sent this to the blowhard.

[NordP]

EXCELLENT - WELL SAID - TOTALLY TRUE

Is it 2012 yet?

What will President Palin be doing today?

[econjack]

I agree. I think BO is throwing a hissy-fit simply because he couldn't get her on his show.

[hinckley buzzard]

McCain wouldn't appear on BOR show either. I think he didn't want to risk winning some votes by accident.

[EagleUSA]

The first time I heard BO come down on Palin, that was it. I knew he was pandering to someone for something — maybe to Murdoch for a bigger paycheck, maybe for ratings, who knows? But I don’t care. I sent protest emails to FOX about it. Frankly, I don’t care what he is after.

If he does not care for Palin, he should just STFU about her. She did more for the Repub ticket, to revitalize a near-dead conservative base than McCain did, let alone what the entire FOX staff could do.

I put little credibility into him anymore. He has an agenda.

[NordP]

"McCain wouldn't let her..."

EXactly!

[trisham]

I don’t watch or listen to him. He’s not a conservative.

[bray]

OhReally is a fiscal conservative and a social lib who wouldn’t like her on political terms. Don’t forget Reagan and Bush were both foreign lightweights to the Establishment and they excelled in both. She is an outsider and the NY corridor hates that.

Pray for W, Palin and Our Troops

[RepublitarianRoger2]

I think that might be the first time I’ve heard the phrase “subtle innuendo” attached to The Great Bloviator.

[avacado]

For anyone interested, go read up on the Alaska Highway Pipeline that Sarah Palin negotiated to be built by TransCanada Corp. Sarah busted the chops of ExxonMobil, ConnocoPhillips and BP who had been sitting on their butts for years not wanting to build a much needed gas pipeline coming off the North Slope. In doing so, this new pipeline will provide the USA with 6%-8% of natural gas needs. Iran, Russia, and Qatar are in the process of forming a natural gas cartel. Sarah Palin just beat those three countries in a geopolitical economic war and put the USA on the road to ensured independence for our natural gas needs.

And Obama has done what? What has that nasty little do-nothing ever done? Nothing! Obama can't hold a candle to Sarah Palin’s achievements!

Sarah Palin is a very intelligent woman who is making America energy independent and Obama is a complete MORON who is going to strangle the USA into serfdom to the terrorist nations who produce energy.

[Just mythoughts]

Send him a PS.... Have you seen that hidden birth certificate of Bama’s?

[imfrmdixie]

Well, he said on the Stephen Colbert show the other night that he liked and respected Barack Obama and thought he ran the best political campaign of his lifetime. I watch him sometimes because it is like watching a snake, for me.....I am frightened but fascinated. With him, it is more of bewilderment for me. He is such a mealymouthed pompous ‘arse’ of a man.

[Past Your Eyes]

Let me know when you find a pure one that meets your standards. I’m sure he or she will be swept into power on a tide that never turns. In the meantime, give it a rest for a few minutes. Take a breath and stop whining.

[EagleUSA]

He is such a mealymouthed pompous ‘arse’ of a man.
::::::::::
I saw the clip of the same show — I was struck by his comments about Obama — why does he not just hand pictures of our new Commander-in-Retreat all over his show banner? I bet it makes Hannity’s stomach turn.

[pillut48]

I’ve been boycotting BOR since he blasted Kristinn and FR as purveyors of ‘hate speech’. >:-(

The other night my DH was watching and I was nursing one of my babies (so essentially trapped in my chair for awhile) and he flipped to FOX. BOR and Carl Cameron were going to town BLASTING Governor Palin with UNSUBSTANTIATED GOSSIP FROM UNNAMED SOURCES, and having a field day!!! Reporting it as if it were fact—I was so disgusted I picked up the boppy nursing pillow and the baby and went to the bedroom. >:-(

[boxer21]

O’Reilly is a big mouthed idiot.

[Jeff Head]

AMEN! and spot on.

Libs and RINOs hate Sarah and fear her for precisely the reasons you cited.

They saw her impact in Alaska and know full well what she is capable of. They loathe her ability to connect with common Americans all over the country.

That appeal was evident not only in the large numbers who came out to see her, but in the excitement generated at those rallies.

She accomplished more in a few short weeks in that regard on the national stage than other politicians have in a life time...and so they want to do whatever they can to marginalize and stop her and keep her from bringing that to DC.

But they shall completely fail in their attempts to destroy her because this is EXACTLY what most Americans want to see happen in DC and many will find out soon enough how they have been bamboozled by Obama in that regard.

The more these people seek to down play her and besmirch her with these underhanded, cowardly attacks, the more the conservative base and common Americans will rally to her.

For our part, we must do what we can to stand in the breach and write our GOP senators and urge them to stand.

At the same time standing up in any way we can ourselves over these next four years until we can turn this OBAMANATION out.

Many more designs here.
