Billo Reilly: Only Loons Are Against War (TYT)

[pokerfan]

"Who would possibly vote against a military strike on Syria in response to its government's use of nerve gas against rebels? Only "the loons," Bill O'Reilly said last night on his show.

Joined by Karl Rove, the Fox host was confident in his belief that despite there not being a strong majority of Americans supporting military intervention in Syria, President Obama would have no trouble getting congressional approval to strike."

Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

1. Bill O'Reilly is a First-Class chickenhawk who learned how to make money promoting war activties.

In fact, he is in the Chickenhawk Hall of Shame along with many of his buddies.

name: William "Bill" O'Reilly
rank: Chickenhawk First Class with Distinguished Fleeing Cross
date-of-birth: September 10, 1949
home state: New York
missed opportunity: Vietnam War
excuse: None
preferred activity: Sneering
occupation: Propagandist

Bill O'Reilly loves to come off as a straight-talking, blue-collar kind of guy. Funny, a lot of guys who fit that description and graduated high school the same year he did — 1967 — went straight to Vietnam. Not our Bill — he went to college. And he didnâ't just go to college, he spent his junior year, 1969-1970, in London. He graduated in 1971, briefly exposing him to the draft again, but Bill was miraculously spared.

If you find someone who is publicly in favor of another war in the Middle-East, it is likely that they never served.

If you need to find more chickhawks, such as Lieberman, you can find some of them here:

Not all are listed, however.

2. no problem with republicans

problem is many of the new chickens are anti war. o_O

I'm not Iraq. no destabalized the whole area. Syria. didn't give us a reason until now. This question over 400 dead children tortured to death seperates the true anti war people from those who really aren't. and I'm not anti war.

Iran is not wise to strike. Too many who hate that govt within that country. In Syria we are trying to level the playing field. what happens later have no idea, but if we were supporting the 20 in sandy hook why the change.?

3. Spoken like a loon. I guess it does take one to know one. If only loons are against war then all...

loons had a moment of clarity on that issue.
