Is O'Reilly even CAPABLE of being truthful any more? Total meltdown.

re: O'Reilly maintained false denials of on-air comments on immigrants
Okay, does O'Reilly, or any of these other commentators, ever dig into his little archive and listen to the stuff that he says? Just a question. I really want to know. You always hear people deny what they say or state that they were taken out of context, but do they ever go back and listen to what they've said? I think if they did they may learn how to either speak thoroughly or not say things that can be "taken out of context" by a so-called "liberals" or anyone else that knows how to speak English living within the United States.
I am serious, I really want to know.

re: O'Reilly maintained false denials of on-air comments on immigrants
Here's another way to ask the question (perhaps?):
Do World Wrestling Champion Wrestlers ever watch themselves on video and cringe?
The truth is most are having fun, making $, yelling, masquerading, pretending to be swept up in the big drama-rama.
Ho'reilly is kicking a$$ in his own way. But it's sort of like a mental patient that's suddenly been allowed to chain smoke. Funny in a way, but mostly predictable and off-putting.

O'Liar! The funny thing is that you cannot hold a tape recorder to his ear and if he listens to his own voice… He will deny, deny, deny! This cartoon character is living in his own world in where he is king. Wally George, Bevis and Butthead and Bill O’Reilly are three of a kind.

Weren't his earlier comments correct?
Now, certainly, little ears might find them distressing, but weren't his earlier comments correct? In fact, the 10 to 20 million illegal aliens in the U.S. have probably caused more than 3,000 deaths or injuries.
Hundreds of illegal aliens have fled back to Mexico after killing people in the U.S., so that provides a good chunk of that. And, a good percentage of those in prison for major crimes in California and other states are actually Mexican citizens. Just last year the feds alone paid $2 billion to house illegal aliens. Check out the The Illegal-Alien Crime Wave. Those who are troubled by facts should not read that.
And, here's what O'Reilly said before: "3,000 Americans have been either killed or injured".
And, here's what he says now: "How can a columnist like Cindy Rodriguez say that I basically told people that illegal aliens killed 3,000 Americans?"
Now, surely, anyone with an IQ above 70 can see that those two comments a consistent.
As for Cindy Rodriguez, perhaps MMFA might slightly raise the bar on who it quotes. I consider her a completely discredited source.

When will the "hard border" Republicans realize that they have been sold out to the corporate interests vis-a-vis NAFTA and now CAFTA? There are no jobs south of the border, Einstein's. This is what the corprate wing of your party wants, and you serve them. Any policy with a prayer of actually solving the problem of illegal immigration has to start by adressing the problem of Latin American job-lessness, so don't get your hopes up that the problem will be solved in your lifetime.

big johnny,
There's overlap in the Republican Party; those with corporate interests, who also support builing a wall/sealing off the border.

Mexico's problem, not ours. You don't want us in the Middle East solving that little dilemma, surely you can't expect us to "fix" Mexico's economic woes. If you do, you're a hypocrite.
NAFTA was Clinton's fault.
Fine every business that hires illegal, and build a concrete wall, preferably one with electrified barbwire running along the top.
That will solve the problem

re: Weren't his earlier comments correct?
Your point is immaterial. I hope you didn't spend a lot of effort typing it out. It's all for naught.
O'Reilly denied having said what has been proven that he said. O'Reilly lied. Period.
Diversion tactics are the last refuge of a poor debater.

Not Cut And Paste, Just The Truth
“I think you could probably make an absolutely airtight case that more than 3,000 Americans have been either killed or injured, based upon the 11 million illegals who are here.
You could make that case. And, you would be absolutely right.”
From his own words, this man is guilty of what he's being accused of. What is interesting is Fox knows his following could care less if he said it or not. In front of camera, Fox executives, and God, this man stands to say his accusers are wrong. Well pee in my face and tell me it's rain. In this case, media really does matter, and this absolute finding of O'Reilly ill-moral boundless claim that others don't see his lies is classic O'Reilly tactics and should be used to illustrate what he would go through to win the moment.
