Bill O'Reilly is No Friend of the 2nd Amendment

[graywolf]

I had heard on this website that Mr. O is no friend of the 2nd Amendment, but I didn't believe it until I saw his interrogation of Stewart Rhodes of the Oathkeepers.  He questions, but he doesn't let his guests respond.  He pointed out that the New Orleans police had every right to disarm law abiding citizens in the wake of the Hurricane Katrina.  How were citizens supposed to defend their lives and property from looters and others who were intent on doing bodily harm?  O'Reilly's slant on soldiers disobeying unlawful orders  seemed off base as well.  I would appreciate if some of you ex-military members would comment on the Oathkeepers and O'Reilly's comments regarding a soldier's duty as relates to "unlawful orders" and the oath to protect and defend the Consitution.  Thank You For Your Service to our Country.

An accurate portrayal my friend.

I missed it but will watch it when it is on the foxnews website. Usually I agree with oreilly when it comes to politics, activist judges, and other dipsh**s that infest most of the MSM, and politically correct dolts that are in the world today.

I know he's a pushy guy, and was unaware he would find a Constitutional right, based on the foundation of this country, a problem.

Until I see it for myself, I will hold off posting on what I haven't seen. Although I will say, he has an open feedback email address, and if this is how you interpreted it, let him know, he's a big boy, let it rip.

The thing you all need to keep in mind is that Bill O'Reilly  is a fairly LIBERAL Democrat who probably voted for BO.

You wouldn't know it, he seems to disagree with most of the Obamic Plague's agenda. He does, however, bash both sides for their rampant incompetent and corrupt actions. Which seems worthy in this day and age, and HE HATES THE FRENCH.

I'm not defending him, I find his talking points, and analysis, regarding the direction the politicians are taking this country pretty damn accurate. I know he is a blowhard, and he's tough in a face to face interview. Have to bring your "A" game, and I look forward to seeing this interview for myself.

Haven't seen O'Reilly since they took the TV away at work.  In the past I have noticed he has an antigun position.  Can't tell you anything specific from memory, other than to paraphrase what I think his reasoning is, and that is private citizens don't NEED to have guns.  I personally think he is ignorant and unknowledgeable about firearms.  It's like he has been listening and taking as fact everything the Brady bunch and antigunners say.

twyacht, took your advise and emailed Mr. O'Reilly.  Will watch to see if he replies!

   O'Riley has always been a moderate and tha means he is "all wrong half the time and half wrong all the time"  I listened to his radio show because I was bored with Rushs's Republo Speak and O'Riley does have some insight to the big city media wack jobs. He should, he is one.  He is still sort of a statist wannabe.

Fides sed veritas!

I listened when he had his radio show until I got fed-up with his refusal to let anyone actually answer a question.  Anyone who disagreed with him was "talked over."  Anyone who tried to make a point that countered one of his points was not allowed to get his viewpoint aired.  Even some of the people he had on his show, like Lisa Wiel (sp?) were routinely talked down to or shouted down--and she's pretty liberal, too.  Perhaps the one thing that sealed the deal for me was when the tapes were released of Bill telling one of his young producers/interns what he would like to do to her in the shower--and this from a married guy who portrays himself as the most moral of commentators and a dedicated husband. (I called "BS" and switched stations)

If you really gave him a listen, you would find that he is a moderate dummycrap with no solidly conservative views.  That he is anti-gun comes as no surprise because he is a fan of bigger government-fewer rights in many areas.  I think he would strongly oppose the concept of "The government is best that governs least." 

I was rather pleased when his radio show was discontinued and do not understand why FOX would keep him on their TV network.

That's all I'm sayin'

He is a moderate with some very outspoken traditional values -- which have caused him to be vilified by the far left.
