LOL-O'Reilly thinks "people from India" own Circuit City
This is surely news to all the people here in the City's Richmond Va. headquarters. BTW_ Circuit City started as a mom and pop store on Richmond's Broad Street. This is too funny.

Secular City? O'Reilly falsely claimed "people from India own Circuit City"
Summary: Purporting to explain why Circuit City, in his words, refuses "to acknowledge Christmas," Bill O'Reilly said, "I think people from India own" the electronics store retailer. In fact, none of the major stockholders of Circuit City Stores, Inc. -- a publicly traded company -- is Indian.


Contrary to O'Reilly's ownership theory, none of the major, direct, institutional, or mutual fund holders of the publicly traded company is Indian. The same appears to be true of the company's senior management and its board of directors. In addition, the retailer limits its business to the United States and Canada.

CALLER: And, I am seeing signs around that say Christmas but the reason I'm here is, last night, for the first time, I saw -- I saw a commercial for Target, and at the end, a big "Merry Christmas" came up on the screen.

O'REILLY: Yeah, Target's changed its policy. And we appreciate that.

CALLER: That's fantastic. So, I hope now you can do something about Circuit City. I was in there last week --

O'REILLY: Circuit City --

CALLER: -- and --

O'REILLY: I think people from India own Circuit City. I think that's the problem there.

6. Good, now maybe Circuit City will sue
The more the lawsuits pile up, the more he'll be a liability for Pox and whatever idiot radio network carries him.

He's gone completely off the deep end. His days are numbered.

7. This is one reason why the GOP has been so successful...
Strategy One: Permit American corporations to outsource American jobs to foreign countries, thereby solidifying the "haves and have mores" base...
Strategy Two: Then bitch and moan about so much foreign involvement and influence in American business, thereby solidifying the freeper/fundie base...

They've got this refined to an art!

8. WHY do people listen to that idiot?
Do people LIKE to be lied to? I guess O'Lielly tells them the things they want to hear, he brings some sort of twisted validation to their bigoted, ignorant impressions of the world, at least in their opinion.
What a fucking twit. Only the terminally brain dead listen and watch the FUX News propaganda machine. Sweet jesus these people are stupid!
