BillO must have missed the last eight years of BushCo because he says that all our economic problems are the fault of the dirty f*&king hippies. You see, O’Reilly asks: Is America a nation in decline? As if that’s a legitimate question. You know the answer he’s going to give. In his mind the media wants Obama elected and while most Americans aren’t liberals they want a president that will look out for them. The gap in wealth throughout the land is due to liberal policies that have led to the collapse of our education system. You see it’s all the kids fault since they can’t read or write well enough to compete in the work place so Obama will set up a huge Welfare state that takes his money and give sit to us. Why, it’s all so simple. Oh wait, when did they actually try to get a job?

It’s the media that says the nation is in decline and not the folks. Heck, I see them going on a record number of vacations, all the retail outlets are doing better than ever and SUV’s are selling like hot cakes. Aren’t they? Heck, Bush has only been in power since 2000 when Americans were doing pretty damn good and we weren’t in a needless war, but who cares. Hey Bill, when was there Islamic fascism in Iraq? He says the military defeated it. Saddam was a secularist and I think we’ve been fighting an insurgency made up of many factions, but initially they largely consisted of Saddam’s military that got kicked to the curb by Paul Bremmer. And yes, he brings up his favorite country of all—FRANCE. Who needs facts when you have The Factor.
As Logan wrote a few days ago in response to Lieberman on CBS:
I wonder if Joe read the GAO report released last month (PDF) that states that the surge isn’t going as well as he says it is? A little truthiness goes a long way with the uniformed American, and Joe has shown amazing talent in that area. SOME of the surge troops will be coming home this summer, but President Bush put a freeze on further troop withdrawals. This freeze is supposed to be temporary, but it’s not likely to be lifted before the November election. As for Iraqi reconciliation:
Has the Iraqi government followed through on its promises? Well, the GAO reports that while some legislation has been passed to restore Ba’ath Party members to government (although many have questioned the legitimacy of these efforts), give amnesty to some detainees and define provincial powers, on many of the larger, stickier issues, no progress has been made. The report notes that the Iraqi government has not enacted “important legislation for sharing oil resources or holding provincial elections” and that “[e]fforts to complete constitutional review have also stalled.” Read on…
No Trackbacks To “Bill O’Reilly says it’s all Liberal policies that have destroyed America’s economy“
Thanks Bill for setting me straight.
Damn liberals.
Wow…it’s all my fault? Cool! I didn’t realize I was so important!
First, nationalize the government; second, nationalize newscorp; third, fire them all and replace them with journalists.
I played the BillO video several times, forwards and backwards, slow and fast. Also had a body language expert with me analyzing it in great detail.
Clearly, Bill O is lying thru his yellowing teeth.
Again — the moment Barack Obama takes office (crossing fingers), the preceding 8 years will simply never have happened.
Every problem that has ever existed will have been created on January 20, 2009, or else it was caused by Bill Clinton.
You watch. History will vanish. Republicans will all act like they just woke up from suspended animation, nothing has been happening for 8 years except they have a hazy recollection of “9/11″ and “victory” and “surge”.
why isn’t this asshole in front of a firing squad for treason and fascist, anti-american propaganda?
VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
um… it is time.
BillO - pure comedy. Almost as good as Colbert!
2fargone @ 6:
Che ?
dat yoo ?
i think i just puked a little in my mouth
anyone, ANYONE, who could make such a dishonest, inaccurate and deceitful claim proves to the world that they know NOTHING of which they speak.
but, this is billo, so we already knew that.
what is most infuriating is that this lie is the inverse of the truth: it is the fiscal “conservative” policies that have detroyed the economy. the economic ideology latched onto like a swollen teet by both parties for the past 3 decades.
this reichwing tactic is, sadly, very effective though. doesn’t speak well for a large swath of americans, who eat this up like chocolate pudding.
sad, sad, sad…
Remember!

Exotic Blue Lensman @ 7:
The similarities are daunting.
Oil companies have had 6 1/2 years of republican lock on Washington to ask for permission to drill if that’s our current answer.
Why didn’t they?
The housing and loan crisises were the result of LACK of regulation, something republcans favor.
All those tax breaks for the wealthy didn’t trickle down like some bathroom version of the economy, but went with our jobs outside our borders.
This constant warfare has eviscerated what was left of our economic health.
Even boosh when he tried to put a positive spin on the sour economy would tout the numbers of new home owners to put a smiley face on it, until the bubble burst and covered us all in puss.
El Cid @ 5:
good point. the bush years will be glossed over by the rightwing/msm.
(although, clinton is reponsible for some of our current ills)
The Loofah insutry is BOOMING !
… thanks to liberal policies that is.
When you look up the word moron in the dictionary, you will find a picture of Oreilly as an example.
O’Lielly should blame Dumbya and all the stupid Reslug assholes in the media, like him, for ignoring or denying all the Right Wing-Nuts horrible destruction of America for the last eight years.
Why do you even waste time posting crap like this? Better yet, why do I waste my time posting about it??? Ignoring O’Reilly is the best action to take — case closed.
McCain may not want a timetable for US with drawl but the Iraqis sure do!

Look, there is NO MAGIC WAND !!
k?
Our education system has clearly failed us - just look at our preznit!
More like people are just going through the motions, following some implacable rote programming induced by forty-odd years of TV addiction and a diet based on corn-syrup byproducts.
what is most painful for the centrist dems and GOP to even contemplate is that their experiment to “free” the market: privatize everything, cater to corporations/industry, deregulate everything, skew the econ to benefit the already rich, etc. has proven to be a complete and utter bust.
this has been going on (by BOTH parties) since the 80s.
and it has failed.
so, now, what do the market fundies do? like any good integrity-lacking movement would do: shift the blame.
they have friends in the msm (like oreilly) that will parrot their lies.
I think it’s time Bill O’Reilly is posted to Iraq.
Yup, it was only a matter of time before everything is the librul’s fault and: George dubyah Bush (D)

(fixed my screwed up quote thingies)
not to mention the HUGE areas already owned by the oil cartels that they have yet to drill…
this is just a landgrab by our oil overlords, with the govt doing their bidding (again)
And sadly, all the MSM and A.M. hate radio mongers are going to pick up this factless rant and gladly regurgitate it.
I actually got into an arguement with someone that was seriously convinced that Hippies in the 1960s and 1970s had impacted the way patents were issued an regulated. Because of this impact (which supposedly freed up patent regulations according to this person) is the reason why America was in decline.
As the great Hank Hill once said: “I don’t whether to laugh or vomit.”
It’s all those Hippie ideals (free love, peace, etc.) that conservatives can seem to grasp.
Wow. That’s like the exact opposite of reality.
These guys have gotten out of control. Colbert isn’t even a parody anymore - his character is tame and sane compared to the real deal.
Bill-O’s yellow teeth are the result of his sh*t for brains.
roger @ 17:
Agreed, he’s not worth the airtime. The man is insane.
O’Racist and the myopic reich-wingers fail to recall that over the last 40 years there have only been two Democratic Presidents…..but, it’s all their fault.
Another fine meal from the McDonald’s of journalism, Fox News.
“WASHINGTON (AP) — Former secretaries of state James Baker III and Warren Christopher say the next time the president goes to war, Congress should be required to say whether it agrees…”
“the next time”.
Think about that for a minute …
Sick, very very, sick.
There is some truth to what Bill said. Our education system has been turning out morons that vote for Republicans.
superchuck @ 34:
Your constitution doesn’t allow foreigners to hold the highest office in the land.
In this day, it’s more or less a figurehead position.
The MEDIA/propaganda machine in the US and A is MUCH more powerful.
Why not press congress to enact some draconian, beat Bush Co. at their own game, legislation and disallow any foreign owned or controlled media outlets.
Then offer a value to owner, non negotioable, and then put each outlet up for public bid to the highest bidder?
That would fuk Murdoch and perhaps put chunx of his Empire in less malevolent hands….. See what his tabloids do around the world, how deep his effect is felt there… just thought that would be a good way to reclaim an important and dying arm of Us and A democracy AND give him a good kick in the balls while he’s shown the door.
Barry @ 32:
i generally agree that shunning the loofah dude is the best course of action.
but, in this instance, the lies he is peddling will travel far and wide. the (some) centrist dems, the msm, the corporatocracy, the GOP, and any and all moneyed interests will support and repeat this lie.
it is too big of a lie, too damaging, and too important to let it go w/o comment/email/letter/etc, imho
roger @ 17:
This sounds like a good idea, but it’s not. Far to many people have been ignoring what has been going on in this country. They don’t spend anytime educating themselves about things. This kind of attitude plays right into the hands of Republicans. They want fewer informed people, they want less education, they want fewer voters. Ignoring it is exactly why people like Bill O’ get away with their garbage for so long. They preach to a choir that’s just big enough to keep Republicans relevant. If more people spent a little more time participating in this country rather than just living in it, Bill O’ and his ilk wouldn’t stand a chance.

That would explain why the intellectually bankrupt Kathryn Lopez thinks Dubya would make a great high school teacher.
Great callsign by the way…
Arrogant jackass. Not one fact to back up ANYTHING he spewed.

Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazeeeeeeee!
what’s scary there are a lot of people who believe every word this ass clown says
Geez,
I guess I have to explain the obvious
The oil companies DIDN’T want additional drilling during that period.
More oil would mean lower prices. They’re trying to manipulate the supply so they earn more for less.
So you can’t blame Democrats who’ve been in Congress only about a year-and-a-half.
Additionally, I think it odd, that we’re having all these high prices right at the end of the perceived republican lock on Washington.
When even conservatives and churches are agreeing that global climate change is for real (although some may argue that there’s little we can do about it.)
And alternative energy R&D has finally gotten a leg up.
