O'Reilly Talking Points?

I think it was Mark Twain that said," there are educated men and there are educated damn fools". The longer I live the more I think he was right.
 
Beck just reminded Billy that He Beeeaaatch slapped Him on His radio program and flat out told Him He was wrong on the Tv show ! O'Rielly has lost all alot of what He calls " The Folks " over His ignorance about 2nd Ad and guns here in America ......WVleo
 
O'Reilly 'officially' surrenders...

You know he's been bombarded with e-mails telling him exactly how many of the numerous points he got completely wrong last night, not to mention how he responded exactly like he accuses some of his left-leaning guests of acting.

At the end of the show tonight, he read a couple of e-mails, no doubt carefully chosen to not point out his specific mistakes.

What he said: This is an emotional issue and I'm not going to convince you...
What he meant: Yeah, it was I who emotionally lost it last night - I got my butt handed to me by numerous e-mails, bloggers, websites, etc., pointing out I had absolutely no clue what I was talking about, but rather than wade in deeper or man up and apologize, correct the record, and admit I was wrong, I'm going to spin this to paint all you e-mailers as the emotional ones! :what:

No Spin Zone indeed... :rolleyes:

I think we can interpret his response to the e-mail as an official surrender on this subject, for which Bill probably wishes he had a mulligan (assuming his ego would allow it)!

The second e-mail also asked him who should define "heavy weapons"?
He replied that Congress should!

Wow...that's a scary thought, but I'm sure Carolyn (I believe it is a shoulder thing that goes up) McCarthy and Dianne (we flipped through a book to pick out what were assault weapons) Feinstein are up to the task!
 
Let's hope enough people see through this charlatan that he ends up running a blog pulling Google ads for revenue.
 
hso, the only bad part with that would be the reduced charity he would be capable of. The wounded warrior project and some of his other pet charities are worth supporting.

Tommygun, that's H***, Michigan, they freeze over every winter. Shorter wait than the other place. I am not waiting for the other place to freeze over. No patience.

Not surprising at all. I don't remember where or when I picked up that picture but it was included for its obvious humor value. My grandmother went to college in Michigan and I remember her stories of their winters so I am not at all surprised they feeze over yearly!
 
His call for the feds to track the names of people who buy powerful guns (????) would create a federal registry of guns and gun owners. This is an extremely bad idea since it could eventually lead to wholesale confiscation of guns by the federal or state or local governments.

It's also extremely illegal. 18 U.S.C. 926(a)(3):

No such rule or regulation prescribed after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or dispositions be established. Nothing in this section expands or restricts the Secretary’s [1] authority to inquire into the disposition of any firearm in the course of a criminal investigation.

As HSO said, it's the back-door gun control using ammunition that we have to worry about, since ammo isn't included in the language of Volkner-McClure (FOPA)
 
Little else could have generated the amount of controversy than what O'Reilly said... rabid controversy from gun owners and supporters of the 2A. He needs controversy to remain relevant and generate ratings, and it doesn't matter if from the left or right. His comments about how machine guns, bazookas, mortars or whatever can be bought without government knowledge is quite silly, so I don't know if it's ignorance or designed to enrage, but I would not doubt the latter. I believe it's all a ratings ploy and most of his fair and balanced schtick is an act. He's not so much fair and balanced, his opinion is absolute and he'll violently argue it. He'll chose from the left or right, but his choice is law, not so fair, not so balanced... you're mileage may vary depending upon which side of the fence he falls on. =o)
 
I have been an O'Reilly fan for many years... but last night's telecast really pissed me off. That was one off-the-tracks monologue.

I emailed him, outlining the ludicrous statements he made last night. Not sure if he will read and absorb...he doesn't seem to be the most open-minded guy. I hope I am wrong.

Well, we will see--hoping for the best.

Regards, Rich.
 
He's a jourannlist who proclaims to "watch out for the folks". Therefore, he is an elitist, and thinks we are all stupid idiots. What the heck are the "folks" anyway. He's a statist in disguise.
 
Use of the term "heavy weapons" without the explanation is intentional on his part in this poll. No one that knows the background of how he applied the term to AK style semiauto rifles will think to answer "NO" because they'll be thinking he's talking about something far beyond your or my rifle.
 
I saw part of it with Lou Dobbs. O' is an idiot. He can't tell a heavy weapon from a rifle as he can't tell a loofah from a falafel.

He was a jerk as a newsman in OR when I lived there.
 
Sounds like Lou has done a bit of homework or either is a knowledgeable gun owner, but like Senator Chaffetz, he wasn't going to get through to O'Reilly with those pesky facts.

Mebbe it's me, but I saw that little jab at O'Reilly Glenn Beck took at him a few nights ago on O'Reilly's show on this subject.
I ain't no 'body language' expert like that gal he keeps trotting out, but I'd say Bill's body language when Beck hit him with it says yeah, I screwed the pooch and got caught on that one!

I admit that I'm a fan of Bill's but his recent statements on Gun Crime/ownership make me wonder.
Lou Dobbs obviously echos the thoughts and words of the entire pro-gun community by stating " existing laws are not being enforced",
a dilema that is taking place Nationwide.
WHEN is the Justice system going to wake up??

You should send that to him as an email.

Feel free to rip off anything I said and send it his way!

I got a feeling Bill is going to try to bow out gracefully on this one, but he probably has a problem - his ego [strike]may[/strike] will not allow him to do so.

Who knows what will trigger an emotional outburst as was on display the other night?

Shades of his Entertainment Tonight days!
(explicit language)

And if that didn't make you laugh, here's the longer version! (I really like the you screw this up again and we'll ship you to FOX News line!)
(explicit language)

Now that you're done laughing, everybody get outta your seats and group dance!
(warning - more explicit language)

Hey...I see you Vern - you're not dancing!
