Politicizing children burning to death
So Glenn Beck and O'Reilly have read off the same script in the last few days. This is pertaining to the horrible death of 8 children in the fire in New York City last weekend.

I heard Beck on the radio saying that Mayor Bloomberg held a press conference to make sure everyone knows how compassionate they are of course they are who wouldn't be compassionate these are children.... they probably came here to escape the horrible nightmare of radical islam (Beck's favorite issue-there is no other reason they might have come here)....the media is not allowed to mention that this was a polygamist family a Muslim polygamist family.... hey (missed name) check on this for me but I am pretty sure that this was a polygamist family under some sort of Sharia law (don't hold your breath on the follow up)

Now where in the world would he get such a spin on things? Who could POSSIBLY....oh

O'Reilly to viewer: "Your so-called compassion helped kill those children" in Bronx fire
http://mediamatters.org/items/200703120002

On the March 9 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly responded to an email from a viewer complaining about his statement the previous day that the victims of a March 7 fire in the Bronx in which one adult and eight children were killed "may be illegal aliens" by stating: "Your so-called compassion helped kill those kids." He later added: "It's people like you, , who promote that kind of chaos in the name of compassion, who look the other way while poor workers and children are exploited by greedy landlords and businesses because you don't like the immigration laws."


Later in the program, Fox News host Geraldo Rivera chastised O'Reilly, claiming that "to make the connection between illegal immigration and that horrific fire in the Bronx two days ago is an injustice to the victims of that fire."

From the March 8 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:

O'REILLY: In the "Unresolved Problem" segment tonight, a new tactic by the pro-amnesty, open-border crowd: using children to demand sanctuary for illegal aliens.

In New York City, eight children were killed last night after a fire broke out in the Bronx. Twenty-two people were living in just two apartments, 17 of them children.

Those involved are from the West African nation of Mali and may be illegal aliens. The city of New York is a sanctuary city and does not give out that information.

From the March 9 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:

O'REILLY: And then there is that terrible fire here in New York City, where eight children were killed, children of parents born in Mali, West Africa. Because New York is a sanctuary city that protects illegal aliens, The Factor cannot confirm whether or not all these children were in the USA legally.

After our report last night, I received this letter from in Houston. "O'Reilly, it was despicable to hear you question the status of those children. I was a big fan of yours but I'll never watch you again and urge others who feel compassion for immigrants not to watch you as well."

OK, , but here's the no-spin truth, so listen up. Your so-called compassion helped kill those children. They should have never been in that circumstance. If the authorities had investigated as they should have, those kids might be alive right now, legal or not.
