Falafel Boy Bill O'Reilly wants to help you "Understand the Democrats"...
A Message for the Democratic Party...
Friday, June 16, 2006
By Bill O'Reilly

Understanding the Democrats. A new Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll says President Bush's job approval rating stands at 40 percent -- 52 percent disprove. That's a five-point improvement since May, the death of Zarqawi most likely helped the president. But it's clear that the Democrats still have an advantage right now as most Americans are not happy with the Bush administration. So my question is: Why are the Dems squandering that advantage? This week in D.C. the far-left group, Campaign for America's Future, held a convention of sorts and just about every big name Democrat showed up. As you may know, Hillary Clinton was booed when she said cutting and running in Iraq would be dumb. That's how radical this future group is. If you don't believe me, here's more backup: The crazy left Air America network partnered up with America's Future for the week. They don't come any nuttier than Air America. Here's what one of them said after Zarqawi went down.

(BEGIN AUDIO CLIP)

RANDI RHODES, AIR AMERICA RADIO: Even the White House press secretary says this today at the press briefing. He says if you look at some of the Al Qaeda memos to Zarqawi, where you had direct pleas — will you please top beheading people? It's bad P.R. I think you have to say to yourself, my God, Al Qaeda is telling Zarqawi to cut the crap with the killing of the Iraqis. And yet, we haven't cut the crap with the killing of the Iraqis.

Now, most Americans reject that kind of radicalism and will not vote for anyone associated with it. Why, then, do people like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Kerry, Ed Rendell and others associate themselves with those kinds of people? I just don't get it. Even though most Americans believe the country's not in good shape right now, most Americans do not hate President Bush. But the "Take Back the America" crowd is full of Bush haters and people who routinely reject all but far-left thought. So once again, "Talking Points" has a strong message for the Democratic Party: If you associate with these far-left haters, you'll lose.

2. hmmmm
I found this quote, and who he included, very interesting.

Why, then, do people like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Kerry, Ed Rendell and others associate themselves with those kinds of people?

Funny who he considers moderate all of a sudden, isn't it? I wonder how many quotes we could dredge up of him lableing those people as far left whackos. I think mr falafel is starting to see the writing on the wall and trying to cozy up to dems he thinks are going somewhere.

3. I don't get it.
What does O'Riley consider offensive about the Randi Rhodes statement? I keep reading and re-reading it and I cannot see anything in her quote that is radical or crazy or out of line. It certainly does not warrant him labeling her as one of "those kind of people".


Iraqis do not like being killed by either Americans or one of their own homegrown terrorists. Is O'Riley suggesting they like being killed? Is he implying Randi Rhodes is crazy and hates America because she suggests we should stop killing Iraqi's? What is radical about her statement? Why can I not see what Bill O'Riley sees?
:shrug:
