O'Reilly Talking Points?

I have been aware of O'Reilly's "machineguns and bazookas" rant for literally years--its old news, and one of the reasons I have lost interest in watching Bill. And for a guy who let's the other side have the last 30 secs after a "debate" to say what they please without interruption, he still has not done research on his "machineguns and bazookas" rant and i doubt if he's correctable.
 
In a debate, O'Riley would mop the floor with him, no matter what the topic or which side of it he was on. I'd like to see them settle it with a good ole fashoned fist fight. :)
 
I enjoy Bill O'Reilly on occasion, but he really annoyed me with his noisy nonsense about guns. I haven't seen many "bazookas and machine guns" at the dozens of gun shows I have walked through. Hopefully, he will get a number of intelligent response. It will be interesting to see if he publisizes any of the progun emails he is likely to get. I won't hold my breath. If he does, will someone let us know? I don't watch that often but I spend time on THR almost every day. My bet is though that anti-gun people are loading both barrels to go after us one more time. Get ready folks.
 
I don't take anything O'Reilly or Ice T say with much more than a grain of salt. After last Fridays show Micheal Savage can pretty much shove it too.
 
Most of the time I agree with what Bill O has to say. I think he tries to remain objective (for the most part). But this was just ill informed, if not just plain ignorant. I think he has been living in hell, I mean NYC too long.
 
Bill was pathetic, but then there's Piers Morgan!

Last night he and Alan Dershowitz ganged up on John Lott - both filibustered, and 'bout every time Lott complained he was not being allowed to answer, Morgan shot him some line 'bout the reason he was not being allowed to answer was because his answers were rubbish!
(2 minute video here - can't find full segment clip, but this is how the entire segment went, if not worse)

But...Dershowitz railed against the NRA and how hyperbolic they were on the gun issue, then proceeded to make some statement 'bout the NRA being OK with up to and including nuclear weapons (mebbe that's what the N in NRA stands for?).
Unbelievable - had just ranted 'bout NRA hyperbole, then dropped the nuclear weapon in their lap?

Mebbe Bill will add nuclear weapons to his bazooka etc rant tonight?

No, I don't normally watch Piers Morgan and MSNBC, but DVR 'em for research purposes on issues like this.

Darn if the 'No Spin Zone' didn't seem to be a whirling dervish last night!
 
O'reily is an ignorant POS.
This.

When he first hit the scene, I thought he would be the next best thing since blackberry jelly. After getting an overdose of him for the last decade, I can hardly stand the sound of his voice.
 
When Bill and Hillary Clinton's gun laws were being crafted it was proposed that the federal governement shouls keep a list of all transactions and gun owners. The NRA and others rejected this idea becasue they beleive it could lead to easy confiscation.

As a result, the background check information for gun sales is NOT to be kept by the feds.

This is a good idea. The government should not keep records on who owns guns. It is an invitation to confiscation.
 
I've quit watching BOR. He is one of the most arrogant, pompus, and as in this case, often ignorant personalities on TV.
 
O'Reilly is worthless. I don't care on what topic he's speaking.

I take that back. As a model for Steven Colbert to follow, he's priceless.
But other than that...
 
O'reily is an ignorant POS.

Yeah, terrorists can buy bazookas from gunshops without it being reported to the ATF on a form 4.

Suurrre, FFLs can sell without records.

When did an AK47 become a "heavy weapon"?

Riiight, NFA weapons like machine guns are available without background checks, 6+ month waits, local LEO approval and approval by the ATF.

What a lying sack of fertilizer. O'reilly has shown himself to be an anti in the past and here we see more of the same.

You know what you call and enemy dressed as an ally? A traitor.

I concur. I just could not compose my thoughts in fear of violating the High Road standard :)

BOR is anti-gun, and he does not have problem to spread the ignorance around. I'm as flabbergasted of people who follow him as those who watch the MSNBC.
 
O'Rielly has come up with this crap before. When the "Assault Weapons Ban" was about to expire, he said something like "I don't want to see bazookas on the street." Obviously, he never read the "Assault Weapons Ban" and did not know about the NFA.

I sent him an email last night -- who knows, maybe he'll read it.
 
Here is what I sent today.

Dear Mr. O,



Please do your research. You sounded uninformed on what “heavy weapons” are. Also, civilian owned AK-47’s and AR-15’s are not machine guns, they have no auto sear and can only fire one bullet with each pull of the trigger. That’s why the federal government refers to them as “Semi-Auto” not “Fully Automatic” or “Select Fire”.



I do not fear that the government will eventually take some action but what I do fear is that it will be easier to remove a right guaranteed by the second amendment in the name of public safety. Freedom has risks and a person who has evil in his or her heart will find a way to act. This guy, Holmes, could have easily figured out how to lock or block the doors and set fire to the place which would have resulted in a much greater loss of life.



The one tool that our forefathers had to fight a tyrannical government was the gun, it made them at least as dangerous as the British army.



Regards,
 
O'Riellys ignorance of the topic was on display for all to see.......the media giant gave us a first class example of the meaning of the word..."Bloviating".
 
Say what y'all want about the fellow.
I happen to like his editorials, he seems like a nice guy!

Nobody's Prefect.:)

I will admit, though, I did watch that one and I felt he is just a bit under-educated when it comes to guns.

I would like to see him as president!
 
I think Bill is just not a gun owner,and ignorant on that issue. He couldn't identify an AK-47 if it shot him in the ass. I don't think he's anti at all, just not versed on the gun issue.

And that's an ethics issue.

If he's that ignorant on the subject, he should shut up and start studying.

If he's not ignorant, then he's spinning the issue -- and that would make him no better than Dan Rather.
 
O'Rielly wrong again

Second night in a row O'rielly spouts about gun laws/sales and He is totally misinformed again. Makes Me ask what else has He been totally misinformed about over the years. He has lost all credibility with Me ! .......WVleo
PS The Congressman from Utah ( name escapes Me ) gives Me faith in Congress as He knew the facts and told Bill He was misinformed.........leo
 
O'Reilly ranks just slightly above to Geraldo when it comes to journalistic integrity in my book. Quite honestly, I can't think of a single news anchor who isn't a compete idiot, especially when it comes issues concerning our right to keep and bear arms.

Can you give us an example of the dribble and diatribe he was spouting on this particular night? The only time I ever watch FOX news is while I'm changing channels.
