I'm sorry, I know we have more than enough Bill'o threads but I had to post this. O'Reilly pounding his fist and screaming "You want Anarchy! You Want Anarchy! This is a War!" is just unbelievable, why is this man still on air?

Probably because you encourage him by watching his show and posting these links.

If I click the link will I see anything new? I've already seen multiple examples of his shouting rants and telling his guests to "shut up". I find it more amazing that O'Reilly finds people to keep coming back on his show when they just get shouted down, ridiculed and to have their common sense sneered at.

I have seen O'Reilly on only a handful of occasions, not living in the US and not having FoxNews, but I have NEVER seen people yell at each other like this on a TV show outside Jerry Springer-esque offerings.

It is quite common. O'Reilly cutting someones mike happens pretty frequently, personal insults as well, all the while maintaining how he has some kind of neutrality and will only give the "truth". Amazing he can keep saying this with a straight face the way he treats guests he doesn't agree with.

Really? From the links I've followed (provided right here on NSG), it seems these sorts of exchanges are a regularly-recurring feature of Mr. O'Reilly's program. And I agree with Utracia - I too find it amazing that Mr. O'Reilly can find people - anyone, really - to come back on his show when they're subjected to this sort of abuse.

Personally, I'd haul off and beat the crap out of him for all our sakes - if I was ever on his show (though I can't for the life of me think how I'd manage that).

Doubt it. O'Reilly is their biggest show and they've been hemorrhaging viewers in the lat 6 months. O'Reilly's rate of decline has been slower than the rest of the network, from what I understand, so a fight with Geraldo would probably give him a boost. Maybe they'd start booking people with that in mind. "See BillO punch a grandmother because she's anti-war!"

I have never really been much of a fan of Geraldo. Now, however, that has changed by that simple clip. Muchos kudos, to Geraldo, for not only having the balls to go against O'Reilly face to face(Where he can't cut your feed), but stand on a controversial subject using facts to support your side. Bravo. Bravo.

Huh. Maybe I only always followed the tamer links, then. I was shocked by how his voice seemed on the verge of cracking into fullblown temporary insanity mode.

I can't believe the show is (almost) like that all the time!

Indeed, before I saw that clip, I thought that Geraldo was just another sensationalist journalist, scrounging around for anything that would have shock value. Now, however, my opinion is that he is indeed a very intelligent.

Geraldo is the same guy who got kicked out of Iraq for drawing a fucking map of where the unit he was with was at and planning to attack.

His intelligence I question, but against O'Reilly I don't doubt he would seem quite bright.

He does his histrionics because it gets views. In fact, it gets more views from people who, if he was more behaved, would never want to see him. This way though, the publicity skyrockets. He gets more money.

I don't think he believes in a goddam thing he says.

He's nothing but a fucking troll.

I doubt it. He'd post, a bunch of people would offer logical, reasonable (and some not so much reasonable) arguments which tore up his argument. He would be undeterred, would continue posting, several posters would get banned for flaming him, and it would be well over 9 months before the mods had enough to ban him for trolling at all. Then he'd come back with different account names.

In the nearby gym(it's a very small gym, really) there's a TV with a news channel on, which two times out of three thus far has been Fox. I actually saw this while on the exercise bike earlier today, although it was muted and I was really trying to ignore it because I was focusing on thinking about something else.

It's typical of Bill O'Reilly, really. He's a bigoted racist jerk who has been given far too much damned attention and ought to be shut down. Permenantly.

As if we should expect someone with their own show trying to get to the truth of various issues to act better than we may in private debate. He just looks like an ass for shouting down those who give a differing opinion. Then he looks like an idiot when he says "you're wrong" when you just go on google and find that the guest was right all along!

I'm sorry, I know we have more than enough Bill'o threads but I had to post this. O'Reilly pounding his fist and screaming "You want Anarchy! You Want Anarchy! This is a War!" is just unbelievable, why is this man still on air?

The same macabre impulse that makes slow the car down to watch the car accident or makes you turn over the dead animal to see the rot underneath.

Yeah. Just like Bill O'Reilly makes up dumb crap and spouts it all over the air to get people whipped up into a froth to push a neo-conservative agenda, Jon Stewart puts the news on the air and points out how stupid people are being about it...

Oh, wait, those two aren't the same at all.

Stewart's position as the opposite of O'Reilly is not because he's the liberal counterpart to O'Reilly's conservatism. It's because he's the intelligent counterpart to O'Reilly's stupidity. Yes, he's as intelligent as O'Reilly is stupid, but that's not the same as being just as dumb in a different way.

Pretty much. And that's the case for Fox News in general. The average age of their viewers is around 60, I believe. That makes sense, as older people tend to be more conservative, and it's not a half-bad short term business strategy either considering that the Boomer generation is hitting that age group, and they're still the largest group around. But long term it's a problem, I would think.

Bill was naturally upset that illegal immigrants are stealthily creeping into this country and committing vile atrocities, leading to the deaths of innocent bystanders. And to compound the problem, nobody seems willing to curb this deadly flow of criminals into the US because of our laissez-faire policies. I don't blame him for getting emotional when talking to an anti-American (yes, Geraldo betrayed his country and the military by giving the enemy vital intelligence) imbecile with a galling mustache, no less. He may have went a little over the top, true, but who can blame him? He was simply trying to awaken the cold-hearted public to the horrors perpetuated by such illegal immigrants while his opponent was of the disturbing opinion that allowing a murder to happen is fine. I'm not proud of what he did, but it needed to be done if we're to have any chance at all of halting the corrosive flow of crooks into our great nation.

If you want to stop the corrosive flow of crooks, look to the politicians in the US who won't do what it takes to enforce immigration laws because they want cheap labor for their companies and the companies of their supporters, and because they want the tax money from those who can't receive the benefits of paying taxes.

Do you have a source for this? Furthermore, more crimes are committed by illegal immigrants than by one-armed transvestite Kataris. Does that mean that one-armed transvestite Kataris are not dangerous? No, it simply implies that there are fewer one-armed transvestite Kataris than illegal immigrants. Similarly, there are more Protestant whites than illegal immigrants. Thus, even if true, your assertion is pointless.

Evidently, you don't know how much of a workforce immigrants provide to the US.

That workforce can be replenished by legal immigrants after all the dangerous illegal elements are expunged from our society.

I'd like to see a very good source, please.

It's common knowledge.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/31/sprj.irq.geraldo/

Find me one quote in that source where Geraldo condones murder. Go on.

He passively allows it to happen by not taking steps to ensure such ghastly crimes are not committed. If a policeman sees a murderer walking down the street but refuses to arrest him, that implies that he condones murder. Similarly, if Geraldo is fine with killers flooding into our country through underhanded means but refuses to stem this inundation, he too is implicitly condoning murder.

Aye, especially if the Mexicans, in their cunning, evil(?), illegal, baby eating(?), job stealing, liberal(?) way, discover boats, or indeed The Light Aircraft.

Hell, they could recreate those awesome Chinese war kites which they attached people too and ballista'd them over city walls and such. That'd be rather clever.

I'm more pragmatic than that. I'd rather make it easier for them to get citizenship--they're already here, they're already a part of the society and the system, they're already paying taxes and using services, so it's pretty obvious that they fill a needed niche and that the legal system isn't doing it. So lets change the legal system and make it easier for them to continue doing what they're doing and feel like they're a part of this society.

The problem is that the people who have hired these illegal immigrants aren't being forced to pay the price for breaking the law--they've got the best of both worlds. They've got a cheap, easily exploitable work force and no truly bad consequences if they get busted with them in their employ. Change that side of the equation, and you'll get real immigration reform.

Of course, that'll never happen, because like abortion, illegal immigration is far more useful as a political issue than it ever would be if the problem were actually solved.

Dont get me wrong, its not about the ones already here(even though i wish it was possible to send them back--ones that been here years already) its about the border and how media(news or non-news like Jon Stewart)take this issue and spin it and twist the facts of it.
BOTH Bill and Stewart and Geraldo do this. If you are in denial of this, then you have been duped a looong time ago.....

O'Reilly is absolutely right. It is completely relevant that that drunk is an illegal immigrant. First of all, if that illegal was never in this country illegally, that person he killed would have been alive.

BUT.....That's not even the main point. The main point is that illegals, specifically, illegal Mexicans come here, they drink, bring crime and poverty to our country. They should not be here. They should not be here in the first place to commit crimes, rapes, killings etc. I bet if Geraldo's family member was killed by an illegal, his words would be harsher than O'Reilly's words.

Here's how you've been duped on the subject. Think most illegal immigrants are coming across the southern border? Think again. More than half the illegals here came here legally on work visas and overstayed them. The border wall is a sham, a sleight of hand trick to make it look like the feds are doing something about the issue. It's the Republicans in Congress who are playing to the xenophobes in the party saying "Sucker!" If they were serious, they'd start doing a better job of tracking people with expired work visas. But they don't want to. And the sooner people wake up to that, the sooner we can really address this issue substantively.

So, when you get rid of all the illegals, will there be no crime, drinking or poverty?

You people and your rabid hatred of 'illegals' simply astounds me with it's lack of coherency and/or insight. Which is really the definition of bigotry.

BTW undocumented workers commit crimes at a lower rate than citizens.
They get healthcare, welfare and other social benefits at a much Lower rate than Citizens.

Most of the time they "borrow" a social Insurance number to be able to Work.. so most of the time they pay taxes..yet they cannot claim a return.

The llama is a quadruped which lives in big rivers like the Amazon. It has two ears, a heart, a forehead, and a beak for eating honey. But it is provided with fins for swimming.

Llamas are larger than frogs!

Llamas are dangerous, so if you see one where people are swimming, you shout -

Look out, there are llamas!

If all of those filthy pestilent and psychotic illegal immigrants should not be in «your» country in the first place then what do you suggest as a remedy? Building a 10 foot wall won't solve anything, no policing of borders could ever be enough, and domestic witch-hunting for illegal aliens will turn the US into a police state. Essentially the third Reich with Mexicans as a substitute for Jews.

Obviously the most sensible course of action is to develop technology that will one day be able to float-lift the USA from the earth's crust isolating itself from the rest of the planet.

First of all i am not duped, i aknow the truth of the matter. I never denied that there is plenty of illegals are from overstayed visas. Never denied that, can you show me saying that i deny that? Point is, they are KNOWINGLY staying here illegal, that is the point.



The border wall is a sham, a sleight of hand trick to make it look like the feds are doing something about the issue.

Never said anything about a wall, that is you my friend.


It's the Republicans in Congress who are playing to the xenophobes in the party saying "Sucker!" If they were serious, they'd start doing a better job of tracking people with expired work visas.

Now this is where you have been duped, its BOTH the Republicans AND Democrats that have been doing this.



But they don't want to. And the sooner people wake up to that, the sooner we can really address this issue substantively.

No its the open up teh border types that need to wake up the reality of we need more onteh border for security, we need to punish ALL companies for hiring illegals.

Can't think of any Democrats in the House or Senate who are all about the wall, or even really making the case for harsh immigration policies--appealing to the minority communities is pretty standard for Democrats. We're the coalition party, after all.

No its the open up teh border types that need to wake up the reality of we need more onteh border for security, we need to punish ALL companies for hiring illegals."The border" isn't the issue. It's the entire system that's the issue. And no one is taking it seriously--it's a political football used to raise money and motivate voters.

Actually there is some local Democrats that are for strong immigration policy around here...but i guess that wont persuade ya huh? they are not big time "Democrats"....

And your right they dont make it a big issue when IT IS. Sorry it is an issue for me when they come up here expecting to get everything free in welfare and such...i saw it in my own community of immigrants over all getting funding, while they sat on their collective asses...but i also noticed these were the illegal ones mostly...the ones that came over legally tended to want to work and do the legal thing.

Sorry it is a security issue that BOTH Democrats and Republican have ignored....

Now how, I wonder, can you just LOOK at people and know what they EXPECT?

Telepathy?

while they sat on their collective asses...

Ah, yes. Them immigrants are all lazy. And right now you are doing what I wonder? Typing while standing up?

but i also noticed these were the illegal ones mostly...the ones that came over legally tended to want to work and do the legal thing.

I suppose you can tell an illegal immigrant from a legal one just by looking at them, too? More of that amazing telepathy that anti-immigration folks seem to possess, I suppose.

Sorry it is a security issue that BOTH Democrats and Republican have ignored....

A security issue, but your main complaint was that they expect welfare? Come on, you have to argue that it's a security issue because immigrants are all thieving murdering raping criminals, not because they're welfare queens. Be consistent.
