O'Reilly: I Defended Palin -- So Why Won't She Come On My Show?

Is Bill O'Reilly upset with Sarah Palin for not interviewing with him (Video)
Sarah Palin will do her first interview since the Arizona shootings interview next Monday on Fox News.  Palin has been engrossed in the debate about "heated political Rhetoric" in the year before Congresswoman Giffords (D-AZ) and 18 others were shot.  Palin's "crosshairs map" has been cited as an example of this kind of "toxic Rhetoric", though Palin vehemently denied any connection in her recent statement released through Facebook.  Palin has chosen Sean Hannity to be her intervi...

O'Reilly: No gender bias against Palin, Bachmann
Bill O'Reilly got into it last night with conservative, Fox commentators, Margaret Hoover and Gretchen Carlson. CARLSON: I believe there is some gender bias associated with Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin. O'REILLY: Gender bias? CARLSON: Yes, and I think Margaret would agree with me on this that, as women, they would be more criticized than you might be and what you would say about this topic [the Arizona shootings]. O'REILLY: [interrupting]... I don't think so. I mean, look, I don't know gen...

Bill OReilly While Discussing Sarah Palin: There Isnt Anybody More Vilified Than Beck
Fox’s Bill O’Reilly-who delivered what he describes as a “devastating” indictment of those who linked the shootings in Arizona to politicians like Sarah Palin-does not see the former Alaska Governor as the ultimate Victim of hypercharged political Rhetoric. It’s Glenn Beck. In a discussion with Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson and Fox contributor Margaret Hoover , O’Reilly dismissed suggestions that there’s a gender bias in politi...

OReilly dissects Palins media strategy
Bill O’Reilly is incredulous that Sarah Palin – a Fox News contributor -- won’t come on his show in the aftermath of the Arizona shootings. Last night, he hosted a segment with “Fox And Friends” co-host Gretchen Carlson Republican Strategist and Martha Hoover about Palin and Michele Bachmann’s absence from the media this week, which he found particularly surprising considering that he devoted his “Talking Points Memo” on Monday to defending them ...

Metaphors Don't Kill People; People Kill People
metaphor: a figure of Speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in “A mighty fortress is our god.” Sticks and stones might break my bones but words will never hurt me. ~Nursery rhyme The recent tragedy in Arizona managed to unleash the pundits on both sides of the aisle. In this world where there must be a root cause for every wrinkle in the landscape and every calamity that befalls us, eve...

Congresswoman Giffords and Congresswoman Bachman
What surprises me is how little Republican and Democratic politicians know about each other or even the fact that they don't know each other at all.   They work in the same building but they are worlds apart.  Their lack of familiarity with each other leads to rancor.  Not really knowing each other leads to the unthinkable (and I guess the media is also at fault for this): in talking about their political opponents, they seize upon soundbites of their political opponents take...

The War on Rhetoric
Today marks a week since an American Terrorist went on a murderous rampage in Arizona and so began the American War on Rhetoric.  The lone gunman was apparently fixated on Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. He met her three years prior to the tragedy in Tucson but that hasn’t stopped political pundits from placing blame, pointing fingers and blasting accusations.  The media should be ashamed for wagging their crooked fingers at anyone other than the American Terrorist who pulled the t...

Nation drenched in blood expresses surprise at violence
What has been amazing is the outcry of surprise and disgust that the USA has come to this—once again. Of course we hear these expressions every time, and the times seem to get closer together all the time, that some person decides to solve his problems by killing everyone he can. This time, it included the Murder of a nine-year-old girl, who surely had done nothing whatsoever to merit being the Victim of yet another jerk with a grudge and a bullet-packed gun. How can this happen, people ha...

Views on the News 1/15/2011
The leftist predisposition towards irresponsibly blaming every act of violence with political connotations on the “climate of Bigotry” created by right-wingers speaks volumes about the ideology of Liberalism. After the shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords and the Murder and injury of several others, the liberal media commenced their annual “Let’s Silence Conservatives” campaign. The deranged gunman, Jared Loughner, was deeply disturbed, not politically astu...

OReilly Calls On AZ Attorney General to Investigate Far Left Sheriff Dupnik (Video)
Bill O’Reilly called on the Arizona Attorney General to investigate Far Left Sheriff Clarence Dupnik after details were released on the lack of security at the public event by Rep. Giffords. “…We got three (hot) issues. Three issues and this Dupnik says, “The Rhetoric is so hot.” Well then I’m saying then why weren’t six deputies standing in front of her (Rep. Giffords)… I think there’s got to be a very, very stringent investigation by the At...

Is Sarah Palin Ready for Prime Time?
Forgive me, father, for I have sinned by saying nasty things about Sarah Palin. My excuse is the same as Flip Wilson’s favorite character, Geraldine, who said The Devil made her do it. On Monday, Palin will be interviewed and asked to explain herself for her latest social network tidbit that tweaked a few liberals the wrong way. Something about blood letting: hers by libelous political pundits. Sean Hannity will conduct the interview after winning a bidding war with his fellow anchor per...

Death threats against Sarah Palin spike after Tucson shooting
It's not just the criticism of Sarah Palin that's increasing in the wake of the Tucson shooting -- death threats against her are too. according to the former Alaska Governor's aides. "There has been an incredible increase in death threats against Gov. Palin since the tragedy in Arizona, since she's been accused of having the blood of those Victims on her hands," Palin aide Rebecca Mansour told USA Today.  "When you start to accuse people of having the blood of innocent people on their hands, ...

Audio: AZ shooting victim blames Palin, Beck, Angle
The new civility! So as to give Mr Fuller something to think about while he’s recuperating, let me note that, should someone become so angered by his plight that they decide on his behalf to exact revenge on Governor Palin, or Mr Beck, or Spearker Boehner, or Sharon Angle — even after we’ve learned that the shooter, Jared Loughner, was hardly some sort of Tea Party adept — the blood will be on his hands, and on the hands of all those who have decided to run with this &#...

Palin to do Hannity Monday
Sarah Palin may be on the Fox News Payroll, but that doesn’t mean her colleagues at Fox News can book her whenever they want. Bill O’Reilly said earlier this week that he was trying to get her on the air, and then she scooped her whole network by releasing her own video via her Facebook page. But as that video continues to receive a fair amount of criticism from the right – Charles Krauthammer on Fox News last night said it was unnecessary – she has been urged to submit...

Do you not understand that Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly ...

Sarah Palin will give her first interview since the Arizona shootings--and her Controversial "blood Libel" video--to Fox News' Sean Hannity. Palin will appear on "Hannity" on Monday, Jan. 17. The New York Times first reported the news. The Times said that the interview is scheduled to span over several commercial breaks.

The Show Must Go On, If Just for Show
It's back to work for House Republicans next week, and the agenda and front-line language of their top priority--repealing President Obama's Health Care bill--will be as it was before an assassin tried, but failed, to assassinate one of the 219 Democrats who voted for it, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz. The bill, H.R. 2, will still be called "Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act." The underlying rule governing debate on the measure has already been approved, and GOP leadership aides s...

Terry Newell: The Arizona Shooting and the Problem with Asking Who's to Blame
The tragic shooting of 19 people, six of whom died, in the attack on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has raised, quite naturally, the question of who is responsible. Jared Loughner's rampage is an affront to civilized society and a direct challenge to our form of government. It's a critical question, and the Victims deserve a thoughtful answer. But that does not mean we'll approach it thoughtfully. If we do not, we compound one tragedy with another. The question of responsibility can quickly lead to ...

Washington Week
This past week, the House conducted Memorial Services for those murdered and injured in the Arizona shootings last weekend. The House of Representatives also passed resolutions and conducted general speeches concerning this horrific act of violence. On Thursday, many members of Congress traveled to Tucson, Ariz., for the national memorial service where the president and dignitaries addressed the nation. The memorial service was moving, inspiring and especially uplifting when the president announ...

John Dingell (D-MI) blames Palin, GOP for rhetoric leading to AZ shooting. Flashback: Dingell links tea party to KKK, called rad
Curiously, Dingell said:"I saw the district of Gabrielle Giffords has a crosshairs put on it. As a lifetime rifleman and shooter, I know what crosshairs signify when you put them on somebody and I know what happened.Is he talking about Palin or Daily Kos? The liberal Daily Kos put a bullseye on Giffords in 2008 (via HillBuzz): More from Henry Payne at The Michigan View: Dingell just accused Palin as an accessory to Murder? Yawn.Dingell had previewed his comments Monday when he toured the Detroit...

Guns In U.S. Politics: 10 Recent Examples
In the wake of the Saturday shooting of in Tucson, Ariz., Rep. Peter King (D-N.Y) announced he will introduce Legislation to make it illegal to bring a gun within 1,000 feet of a government official -- but if recent political events are any indication, there's been little interest in separating guns and U.S. politics. Just last year, Giffords's Republican opponent Jesse Kelly encouraged voters to join him in rallying to oust Giffords from office by shooting a fully-loaded Assault Rifle: "Get o...

Dem: Fairness doctrine needed 'as long as it's the people's airwaves'
Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said on Friday that the Federal Communications Commission should reinstate the fairness doctrine for broadcast television to ensure that multiple sides of Controversial topics are offered to the public. “For over the airwaves TVs, I think they should bring it back,” said Nadler on Fox Business News with Andrew Napolitano. “I think it makes sense for people to be able to hear as many sides of political opinions as possible, and as long as it's the people's a

Confronting Hate In Arizona
Faced with rising anger against ideological zealots who have turned the murderous atrocity in Arizona into a political circus, President Obama had to respond. In an excellent Speech eulogizing the six dead and paying respect to the critically injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Obama appealed to the nation to cool down and stop the nonsense. His signature line was: "What we cannot do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on each other." Unfortunately, his words came too late. The strugg...
