Hahaha. I don't think you've watched Mr. O'Reilly's show recently. I won't even respond to this. If you want to know why I'm laughing at you, do your own frickin research. You might actually learn something.

And don't you think the timing of this is interesting? Of course not.
So they're letting him investigate himself?

The real issue is that few people who watch Fox care whether O'Reilly is telling the truth or not, and neither does Fox management. The White House got it right when they referred to "NBC News" and "Fox." --Bob
LOL. If anyone should be investigated it's Mother Jones and David Corn. But they won't be. We all know it.
I'll couple this story with the predictable attempt by the usual media suspects to smear Scott Walker. They've already picked their image. "He didn't graduate from College".

Unlike your namesake (see above), you're smart enough to see it, Bob. You just don't choose to.

This story supplied a few irony infused chuckles to the guys in my fraternity. We had a guy in my pledge class several decades ago named Brian Williams. Very few people in our fraternity called him Brian. His nickname was what we used whenever we wanted to get his attention. That nickname was "Bullshit" and it was given for Brian's propensity for tall tales. :wink: Our Brian was not related to the Brian at NBC.

I have seen it all over facebook and the internet. The left's branding of Scott Walker is in full force. It's amazing how it happens, but there are enough useful idiots out there that it works. They do their best to create a caricature of any conservative or republican that is a threat to them. And that's what they're doing to Walker.

They have started on Ben Carson, too. The SPLC gang had put him on their 'Hate Watch' list. They had to take him off it because it was so frickin obvious a smear that even they recognised how stupid it was.

Ted Cruz is a man of integrity and vision. But the left (along with the republican establishment) has pretty much succeeded in branding him, so he is, at least now, segregated to the background. Every one of the potential candidates on the right will have this happen to them at one point or another. The intensity of it will be in proportion to how much of a threat they are to the Washington ruling elite. Why does it not happen to the left? Why are idiots like Pelosi, Reid, Biden, et al taken seriously by the mainstream media, and people like Ted Cruz are marginalized? Because there is no one on the left who is a threat to the Washington Ruling Class.

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

My understanding is that one of the whoppers ol' Brian so casually tossed around was that one of his daughters was the Spokane NAACP chapter president...*

As to his demotion to MSNBC - delicious...

The mafia must be looking at the Brian Williams situation and wishing they had a place like MSNBC to hide their dead bodies.
