O'Reilly says he's going to "hang" Bill Moyers [View All]

[Syrinx]

I was just watching the late replay of Bill'O. He was talking with Newt Gingrich about Jeremiah Wright.

In his "Talking Points Memo," O'Reilly said Wright and Moyers and Louis Farrakhan (?) should go on a vacation to Iran, "because they would like it there."

:wtf:

He "opined" that Moyers, Wright and Obama "hate America," because they have the temerity to criticize past and current U.S. policies.

O'Reilly said, after all that, "We're not going to hang Moyers until we watch the segment."

Not only did O'Reilly admit to a premeditated metaphorical "lynching" of Moyers, and by extension, of Obama, he admitted that he hasn't even seen the interview on which his supposed anger is based.

I watched the Moyers interview of Jeremiah Wright in its entirety. I thought Mr. Wright came off as a thoughtful, soft-spoken, kind-hearted man. I wish he had chosen his words more carefully when he spoke of Obama as a "politician saying what he had to say."

But the media will prove, once again, just how shallow they are, and how "dumbed down" they think the American public has become, by again taking a quote out of context, and marginalizing the decency of an American patriot. Dan Abrams already did it earlier Friday night. And we can expect a barrage of it, come Monday, and probably earlier.

I guess the moral of this story is that if you criticize our country's support for despots around the world, you "hate America." If you want to make America a better, more fair country, if you stand up to support the Constitution against the abuses it has received during the last eight years, or throughout history, you "hate America."

In the views of these phony "patriots," you can only love America if you support abuse of power, illegal wiretapping, the elimination of Habeas Corpus, torture, racism, hate, and a two-tiered society of the dirt-poor and the filthy-rich.

You can't really love America, I guess, unless you bow down and pray, not to God, but to the pasty, puffy faces of the Republican blowhards on the cable-tv dial.

If that's the case, I guess I hate America.

But that's the thing. I don't hate America. I love it with all my heart. And I want to see the criminals that have perverted it's meaning to be punished for the things that they have done. I want America to live up to the promise of it's ideals.

I want Americans to realize again that our constitution, and the lives of our citizens, mean a hell of a lot more than empty slogans and shiny, red, white and blue lapel pins.
