O'Reilly Cranks Up The Propaganda!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/11/bill-oreilly-new-york-times-msnbc-arizona-shooting_n_807233.html">Bill O'Reilly Attacks New York Times, MSNBC, Liberals For 'Exploiting' Arizona Shooting (VIDEO)

You can watch O'Reilly pile on the lying spin as he attempts to cover the right wing from exposure for the Arizona shooting. He tries to make it look like the left is blaming the right for the recent political assassination because of the right's political positions against immigration and the "nanny state."

But you tell me, what does the following right wing advocacy of violence against left wingers have to do with immigration or welfare?

Time and time again the right wingers have sent a clear message, do it their way or there will be violence. And now that they have their violence, the violence they called on their base to provide, look at the assclowns pretend it's not their fault.

2. And Why Not?
Edited on Wed Jan-12-11 07:27 AM by affrayer
When it comes to advocating political violence the right wingers own the market...

In fact history shows the same pattern over and over again. The right wingers mount a campaign of advocating political violence until someone is killed. Then they pretend to be contrite but within a few years, they are back at it again.

3. +1 -- that lougner was crazy is one thing -- that he didn't misunderstand
the violent rhetoric of palin, limbaugh, o'reilly, and others is another.

he did what they wanted him to do -- he did not misunderstand -- and they get to stay on message.

4. It's A Numbers Game
Edited on Wed Jan-12-11 07:41 AM by affrayer
Out of a population of over 300 million there are millions of people who can be considered unbalanced at any given time. Now all we have to do is convince a handful that if they grab their gun and go shoot someone that the world might be a better place.

That's the right wingers secret, all it takes is the motivation of one lunatic to act in a violent manner and they can control the political process.

And then, after the violence they can put on their best Alfred E. Newman face and say "What, Me Worry?"

6. Being Bellicose Is One Thing
What O'Reilly is doing is mounting a campaign of lies, deceit and misinformation to protect his right wing anal sphincter.
