Sweet Jesus, I Hate Bill O'Reilly

Sometimes O’Reilly surprises even us. Occasionally, his lunacy and denial rival that of Betty
Broderick as portrayed by Meredith Baxter Birney in the Lifetime favorite “A Woman Scorned:
The Betty Broderick Story."

On Tuesday, the Mexican foreign secretary went on a radio program in Mexico City and said,
“If there is a real wave of rights abuses, if we see the National Guard starting to directly
participate in detaining people, we would immediately start filing lawsuits through our
consulates.”

Last night, O’Reilly fired back:

“Okay then, Mr. Secretary. Here’s a no-spin message right back to you. If the Mexican
government files one lawsuit in the USA, one, pertaining to the National Guard, I will call for
a total boycott of Mexican goods and no travel to your country. Now that might sound
presumptuous and I don’t mean to be threatening, but enough’s enough. It is your
government’s fault, sir, that there is border chaos. We in America have a right to security
and a right to expect our immigration laws be enforced. So, once again, any action by the
Mexican government that impacts border security in the USA will be met with a boycott
call. And if you don’t believe me or you think it doesn’t matter, Mr. Secretary, why don’t you
give the French ambassador a call. He’ll fill you in.”

(Their message board is overrun by freeper trolls, so if you want to fire back, jump in!)

What a total choadmonkey.

The French economy never rebounded from the damage his boycott caused.

i am so pissed i didn't buy up that name!!

Beelions of dollaires!!

Mon dieu!! C'est formidable!



:rofl:

pile de merde!

We don't want those beavers building dams with substandard material!

It should be called "The Narcissistic Factor."

Two night's ago, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's excellent investigative news program, "the Fifth Estate," broadcast a one-hour special on the hijacking of the American media by conservative bullies -- whose knowledge of foreign policy seems to run the gamut from A to B and tends toward scream-o-ramas in which dissenters are accused of being unpatriotic.

They aired this clip:
O'Reilly: then Americans are going to take action. Are you willing to accept that boycott which will hurt your economy, drastically.

MALLICK: I don't think for a moment such a boycott would take place because we are your biggest trading partners.

O'REILLY: No, it will take place, madam. In France ...

MALLICK: I don't think that your French boycott has done too well ...

O'REILLY: ...they've lost billions of dollars in France according to "The Paris Business Review."

MALLICK: I think that's nonsense

The U.S. and Canada are the two biggest trading partners in the world. As for The U.S. economic boycott of France... dispite O'Reilly's comments to the contrary since he jumped on that bandwagon two years ago; French/American trade actually went up. And the Paris Business Review O'Reilly quoted; to the best of our knowlege no such publication exists.

Doesn't Mr. Luffa know where GM's "factories" are??

So I guess o'lielly won't be buying a Chevy this year.

is shaking in thier boots. Becouse the 8% of Americans that actually Listen to STUPID SHIT lying Oreally might not go to Mexico. Trailer trash WHACKO Oreally followers don't go on vacation. They're too busy working for MINIMUM wage and going to NASCAR races.

I have been to exactly one NASCAR race in my life. It was one of the fall races at North Carolina Speedway in Rockingham, and The Home Depot paid for my ticket. (I worked at the Home Depot fan trailer and received the ticket after the presentation.)

They paid $65 for this ticket. The seat was on Turn 3--a terrible grandstand--and it was at least an eighth of a mile from the racing surface. You couldn't hear the announcers even when the cars were in caution periods. You could barely see the cars. For this people paid $65. The people who could actually tell the cars apart without a telescope paid well over $100. The people seated in the first twenty rows along the frontstretch paid $150. North Carolina Speedway is NOT what one would call a prestige track, either; there are $500 seats at Indianapolis and $500 won't even get you in most of the grandstands at Daytona.

Trust me on this: those folks may LOOK po', but they have serious money to spend.

His "boycott" of France didn't do a thing, French imports dropped for a while when the dollar fell against the Euro. He was delusional enough to claim credit.
However - I hate having to say this - I agree with him re Mexico filing lawsuits against the Guard - when the Mexican government is actively encouraging Mexicans to go North they have a real nerve threatening lawsuits.

It is against OUR laws for the Guard to act as the police in any capacity. Bush knows that, which is why he said they would not arrest or detain. O'Reilly is too stupid to know that.

I guess he is full of it after all (like I didn't know that!)

... she still in prison...? What brought her to your mind, I'm curious...? That was a huge case back in the 90s I think, or maybe 80s I can't really remember, I just know I haven't heard that name in a really long time...

Sorry for the confusion.

I am a Betty Broderick maven.

There's something so wrong with that, I know, but I can't help it.

... I was so taken by her and her case back then, I actually considered writing to her in prison...

What do you think her chances for parole are...? What, she's got to be in her 50s now?

I don't think Dudes "get" Betty Broderick, if ya get my drift.

Who knows? She's probably closer to 60.

She's a real piece of work, she is.

... speech than anything but forgive me, nevertheless... You're right, I should have known better... After all, I can't think of too many "dudes" who spoke up on her behalf... Kind of thing you have to be a woman to understand...

PS - Dear DU friends, Before I get flamed here I would like to say, no I do not condone or support murder, even for someone as tortured and abused as Betty...

She's perfect, she's so thoroughly crazy.

You know, it just occurred to me - I might not really love Betty.

What if I love Meredith, acting as Betty?

(Dude, Dudette, it doesn't matter - OldLeftie is heading rapidly towards "pansexual" - or else I'll turn into a tree)

I wish Lifetime was showing that movie right now. . . . . . .

... Damnit, I don't have a VHS player anymore... I might have to go out and spend $300 on a brand-spankin' new VHS player, just so I can watch that movie whenever I want... And I don't think Meredith has anything to do with it... Did you see the Oprah interview after the movie came out? She was exactly like you imagined her to be, even better, she should have played herself in the movie...

By the way, it's OK to love Betty, she's just that insane... Or not...? She's a perfect liar? Perfect actress? Or perfectly insane? Who knows, all I know is, I could watch her talk about her divorce for hours... I saw a clip about her a few years ago somewhere and prison life hasn't changed her attitude a bit... She's the same Betty she always was... Imagine if they let her out in 2011, she'll be in "talk-show circuit" heaven...(and so will we...) :)


Do you think it's true what they say, that she did what every woman in her position wants to but doesn't have the guts to do? Actually, you couldn't compare too many women to Betty, after all, they weren't married to Dan Broderick...

in my first marriage. But that was a long time ago. I had more energy then.

What woman, in a bad marriage, hasn't fantasized about doing what she did?

But, see, Betty did it. And she was sure she didn't do anything wrong.

I wonder if Dan Broderick really was that bad. I mean, if five years passed, she really did exceed the "cooling down" period.

Can you imagine what it was like when her attorney - you just know this had to have happened - suggested a "not guilty by reason of insanity" plea to Betty?

... he drove her crazy... It became him against her at all cost... I too have a nasty divorce under my belt but at some point you say to yourself, there are kids involved and I really don't care anymore, I'm just too tired to fight... Not these two... And the fact that she couldn't get a single lawyer in her town to take her case, that had to make her crazy... Then all the fines Dan imposed and the selling of her home without her consent, gaining full custody of her children, with no visitation...? He knew how to work the system and how... At some point you would think he would realize he's doing this to the mother of his children... No winners there, are there? Ok, now I'm thoroughly depressed...

If she was crazy enough to murder two people in their sleep, she was too crazy to have custody of her children.

Sure sounds like one of those things that caused everyone to lose. Maybe the modern stalking laws could have prevented the murders, though I don't know who was stalking who.

Who took cares of the kids?

... married his new bride the year before, I think... Betty was in touch with her two older kids because they would come stay with her but the two younger ones were still under Dan's control and not allowed over her house... She did some crazy things but so did he... These two were like children, tit for tat all the way... Except, Dan was the more powerful one and eventually stripped her of everything they owned due to her bad behavior, including her kids... If you saw the kids today you would feel so sorry for them... Their pain is written all over their face...

By the way, I believe three of the four kids support their mother's parole and want their mother back home...

But I don't get it. How could she be a folk hero? Is it like a Loreena Bobbit thing? (Not that I got that, either.) I'll keep an eye out for the movies and try to understand.

... She's one of those people that you're just fascinated by... You know deep down inside that she isn't crazy but the things she comes out with... She almost has you feeling sorry for her... I do think of Dan & Linda's families though, which keeps me from being fooled by her... Bottom line, it's always "fascinating" until it happens to your own family, God-forbid...

Maybe it's something like Bonnie and Clyde or Thelma and Louise.

And "fascinating" until...

Sometimes I lurk the "The Sopranos" HBO message board, and everyone is crying for more murder, more violence.

That's pretty easy to do when it is out there somewhere, but as someone mentioned already, who hasn't thought about killing a spouse, male or female? Guess it works both ways, and I'm safe in saying that since I've never been married. My sisters' and brother's divorce was enough for me.

... which it wasn't... Even if it was, Betty would have faced the chamber first, than admit "they" didn't deserve it... She maintains her "innocence" til this day... Battered-Wife Syndrome, she claims... I kid you not...

You think it's cases like this that make lawyers take an early retirement in St.Thomas? That guy had to be exhaused... I mean the third lawyer... She fired the first two... :)


Edited: Spelling

Even though she's doing time, she can rest assured that Dan isn't still out there having a good time with the young wife he left her for.

He really did bait her, though, doing such in-your-face things to the point of having his girlfriend's voice on his answering machine. It drove her nuts. She even drove her car through his front door.

That's exactly how she feels... It was worth it to her to sit in prison for decades, just so long as Dan and Linda are not out there enjoying themselves... She says outright, " I would rather be here in prison where I'm safe, than out there under that kind of pressure"... We all know what that means, it means "It was worth it"... What a tragedy all the way around...

though Jean was smarter than Betty, she was less likeable, which didn't do her much good with the jury.

Dr. Tarnower also ditched his long-time middle-aged lover for a new model - the young nurse in his office. Jean wasn't beneath cutting up her rival's dresses discovered in Tarnower's closet and throwing her curlers around.

She finally drove from VA, where she was headmistress at an elite private school, to Tarnower's house, purportedly to commit suicide, claiming the gun went off (several times) as they struggled with it.

Hell hath no fury…

Jean was finally released from prison, having done good works while there. Amy Fisher met her there and noted that Jean wasn't well liked. She still had a haughty attitude.

... Must have happened when I was a young girl or I'm sure I would remember it... What is it about certain women who can't accept that they're dispensible...? I am always prepared for anything, especially the worst so if God-forbid it should happen, I won't be so shocked... Especially infidelity, if that's the worst thing that should happen to me in my life, I would consider my self damn lucky... Damn lucky...

Thanks for the above info! Have a nice evening... :)

I can't imagine anything more painful.

I've suffered the betrayal of just a casual friend and that was bad enough. I can't even imagine how horrible it would be if the person I was closest to in the world betrayed me.

Thank God I have a trusting and loyal partner. I would never want to undergo what these women, Jean and Betty Broderick, endured.




Cher

... The difference is, if you're going to do something like this, leave your partner for a younger version after being with someone for a long time and them having supported you through thick and thin, if I was to do something like that, I would GET THE HELL OUT OF TOWN...!

I think where people go wrong is, they start a new life right down the street and that brings out something very ugly in the ex that's left behind, driving them to temporary insanity and eventual murder... I really believe that if any of the above elements were missing, most of these people who do this would go their entire lives without ever being violent to anyone...

I am a true crime fanatic.

Is she still in prison?

until 2011, the date of her first parole hearing.

Oh, what I wouldn't give to be at THAT hearing.................

I had forgotten allot about the Betty story, until it came up in this thread. So i did a quick google and found this, it's a juror from Betty's trial and he's answering questions.

Didn't notice how old it was, but if you're interested here's the link.

TOTAL DOLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<running to read everything>

... over there...? Do people not work for a living? I wish I had that kind of time on my hands... It's "Betty-Heaven" over there...

but now I see that I'm barely a rank amateur.

That was, uh, how can I put this?

Intense?

Well, I've just learned that there IS such a thing as "too much Betty."

I need to see that movie again, dammit!

You called it perfectly, I was crackin' up when I read that...... After twenty minutes of scanning posts over there, all I could think was: "Oy, I've got a headache"...

I promise, if I see the movie scheduled, I will drop you a line... ;)

Easily the most disgusting channel on basic cable.

I worship it.

Thanks for all of this - it was fun!

single-handedly!! :eyes:

That Lifetime movie is one of our alltime favorites. We know the dialogue by heart, we've watched it so many times. A Meredith Baxter Birney tour de force, for sure.

And Betty would have known exactly what to do to Bill and his falafel when he was talking dirty (and getting it wrong) with Andrea Makris, would she not?

Where's Betty when we need her? Hell, I'd buy her the ammo.

they're on. Birney kicked some major ass in that movie.

..is MY "Betty Broderick."

Not bad. Not bad at all.

But, what about Karen Homolka, thinking of Canada? Now THAT one makes even me queasy.

And she's out now.

... She is some piece of work that Betty... I am just so facinated by her, she's one of "those" people... The stuff she says is "classic" and if you know anything about the human nature, you don't know if to laught or to cry...

I didn't recognize the name or the trial.

She's still in prison:

"Today, Prisoner Number W42477 continues to tend to her various responsibilities -- menial and then some – that are required of any prisoner at the Central California Women's Facility at Chowchilla. She has resigned herself to her daily fate of routine mornings and early bedtimes, and keeps her eyes and hope on the year 2011, the date of her first possible parole. Her children do not visit, but she still sees a man named Brad Wright, whom she met during her separation period."

http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/family/broderick/1.html

Seems to me a little thing called divorce might have worked better.

... Actually, they were divorced for FIVE years before Betty shot both her ex and his new wife, Linda Kolkena, if I remember correctly... This was no ordinary divorce though, this was classic "war"... He was one of the top lawyers in Southern California and also possessed a law degree... You have no idea what this man put her throught... Forget "War of the Roses", this was something else... In the end though, she deserves to be in prison for what she did... Those poor kids...


Edit: Spelling

Double Edited to say: I meant to say above that her husband possessed both a law and a medical degree... Duh...

I hadn't realized that.

She waited FIVE YEARS to kill them?

I love her. Madness like that deserves nothing less than my total, absolute love.

Just keep her behind bars.

He was also an M.D. The guy was apparently very good at what he did, and got Betty to work to pay his way through all his schools.

Those poor kids, indeed .................................

... He also possessed a medical degree, in addition to his law degree, so I believe he specilized in malpractice law... A real sweetheart of a guy... He waited until Betty put him through both Law and Medical school, had four kids with him and then, "buh by Betty, I got a chick half your age now"... Can you imagine the rage? But that didn't drive Betty to kill him, the way he treated her the following five years did... Sorry Dan, I'm sorry you're gone and ya'll did not deserve it but damn, you were a prick to her...

While surfing this one caught my eye on CourtTV and is it the same?

he will call for a boycott of Mexico and Mexican goods. That means we won't have anything to buy in this country. I'm sure Americans are going to give up their vacation to Cancun because Bill O'Reilly said to boycott. He did a real good job with Freedom Fries and French wine. When republicans started with the French I made sure I went out and bought myself some good French wine. Without the Mexicans picking chick peas here O'Reilly won't be able to have his falafel.

and wear it proudly whenever possible.

You wouldn't want that would you sir? I call Bill "sexual predator" O’Reilly's bluff.

LOL

How's that working for ya, osama bill?

Does that mean Bill's gonna boycott Tyson foods?

Does he mean goods sold & manufactured by Mexican companies?
Or goods sold by US Companies but manufactured in Mexico?
What about goods manufactured in the US but sold by Mexican companies?
What about oil from Mexico?
What about mexican food? Taco Bell? Picante Sauce?

This will be very confusing for his listeners.


AValdoux

I'll start buying all my drugs from Mexico now!!!

I was in Mexico City on business when we had Our Last Elected President in office. Against a mighty chorus of screams, rants, and dung-flinging from the Repig Congress, you may remember that Clinton rammed thru an essential loan for the Mexican government. (A loan, it should be noted, that was paid back ahead of time with full interest.)

At the time, it was...tense down there. I was traveling with a translator who was a retired U.S. military officer. At least officially...

Now that I think about it, we could have solved a lot of our problems right then by shipping Newt Gingrich and a few other geniuses off to Mexico for an all-expense-paid "fact-finding trip." The first fact they would have found: criticizing Bill Clinton at that time in Mexico could be hazardous to your health.

One of my fondest memories is a night after a giant Congressional Dinner. (Lots of pork.) After a drink or five, I was ready to pay the check.

The translator said something to our gorgeous hostess, who plopped herself down in my lap and kissed me on the cheek.

I asked: "What the hell did you say to her? (And please say it again!)"

The translator laughed and said: "I just told her you were a personal friend of Bill Clinton's."

:evilgrin:

He makes his living making us hate him. If there werent that hate, there wouldnt be ratings. If I had my way all Dems would be forced to ignore him and his show. That would drive his ratings down and maybe he would go away.

But it wont happen. Dems love to be outraged by right wingers. If not, they wouldnt drive up ratings of these whackjobs.

And think it is great he is in the news and is getting so much attention. Perfect example of what a fascist dictator or a theocracy would be like.

just keep driving up those ratings then.

Im sure theyll be laughing all the way to the bank.

We all pay for those for the common good.

FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD, WE BRING YOU TWO MINUTES OF HATE.

Small print: just so you can see how ugly it is.

And an organized boycott would probably drive his ratings up more.

His ratings are falling anyway:

Excerpt from "A ratings downer for Fox News"
By Scott Collins, Times Staff Writer, LA Times
May 8, 2006

Some recent ratings news no doubt gladdened the hearts of Fox News Channel
haters.

First, Nielsen Media Research reported that Fox News' overall prime-time lineup
dropped 17% last month compared with a year ago (MSNBC grew 16% during the
same period, while CNN plummeted by 38%).

Late last week, a reliable television industry website, TVNewser.com, reported
that in April, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly had his worst month in nearly five years
among viewers age 25 to 54, the most coveted audience in TV news.

EDIT: forgot a word :)

Continually mischaracterizes everything any "liberal" says (or even a republican who dares to criticize Bush)

Reminds me of life w/ my abuser ex. Words twisted around and attacked for things I didn't even say.

I sometimes think I want to listen to the rightwingers to try to understand what they think and know what they say. But good grief--who needs that kind of abuse

Bush on the Constitution: 'It's just a goddamned piece of paper'

http://p073.ezboard.com/fsweetjesusihatefoxnewsfrm10.showMessage?topicID=3418.topic

You know, I can't even "see" or imagine Bill O'Reilly anymore. I don't watch his show and never have, not even for comic relief. So I guess it must have been easy for Steven Colbert to replace him in my mind. When I think of O'Reilly, all I can see is Colbert doing O'Reilly in his comedy schtick.

Poor O'Reilly. In some minds he's been "disappeared."




Cher

I remember reading that after he encouraged his dozens of followers to pour their french wine sown the gutters, it was revealed that French exports to the US during that year had actually RISEN, despite the Wingnut "boycott". (As if the idiots that watch Fox News ever drank French wine anyway).


It's the same as the Dixie Chicks - after their career was "ruined" by Clear Channel, which blacklisted them for criticizing the lunatic Bush's unwarranted invasion of Iraq. Even after the blacklist, the Chicks SOLD OUT EVERY SINGLE DATE of their national tour, including all the venues in the south. The notion that right-wing boycotts add up to anything is nothing but propaganda and puffery.

into work. Chapter 4 about his sexual peccadillos was particularly funny.

Great to be here, and it will be great when the White House and both Houses of Congress are painted BLUE!

OOps

and a funny thing...our most cherished symbol///The Statue of Liberty/// was designed and made in FRANCE?

about 20% of our vocab...is FRENCH....

I am not gonna give up my Freedom TACOS...

Awesome reference!

on that Mexican gas.

I think O'Reilly is confusing Conservatives with people who think they should have to suffer anything, ever.
