Glorious!

Wow!! O'Reilly gets my vote!

Oh wait...

wowsers. that was fun! thank you.

Frank and the dhimmicrats have their grubby hands all over this financial scandal. The unintended (maybe intended) consequences of social engineering. Heaven help the USA.

Thankfully Hannity is on Fox or it would be totally unwatchable. O'Rielly really has lost it........ if he ever had it.

mmmm...yummy desserts!

Classic.."She in with no assistance from her husband."
That's gonna confuse some angry feminists.

Saw them both last night. Delightful.
Doesn't Allan Colmes look like a Klingon?

And THAT'S why I watch Fox.

Being unable to watch the O'Rielly clip for more than 30 seconds or so, I decided to pause it and just click various points through the time line.

At no point did he have his mouth closed. I managed to find two bits where Frank's mouth was actually closed.

More like 3:46 of a rancid steaming heap of inanity. Classic O'Reilly.

Do you really think faux news' resident sleazebag Dick Morris has one iota of credibility??

With anyone with an IQ above their shoe size, I mean.

Caught that too eh bluetech? Classic is correct.

My,my. The Red tories(atlanticjim,manny)are really upset about O'Reilly. What's the problem,boys? It's OK for your lefties to be rude,insulting,and down right ignorant,but a rightie can't respond to that? Tolerance...NOT.

manny ,manny, manny. Calm down. Look at a picture of Olberman or something.

Red tory? Me? Pull yer head out of yer backside nothinkin.

Anyone who thinks that O'Rielly is a conservative needs a dictionary. He would not recognize a conservative thought if it head butted him.

Thankfully they have Hannity for a voice of reason.

I wouldn't be too hard on O'Reilly...it's all relative. We are so used to soft balls...no.. make that nerf ball being handed to Libs by the media when they mess up.O'Reilly isn't letting anyone off the hook...he's calling out the 'whole Federal government' on this.
O'Reilly is the extreme opposite of Mansbridge.
It's about time someone in the media acted on calling the mess what it is(like bloggers are doing) instead of the boring day to day 'report.'

"Frank and the dhimmicrats have their grubby hands all over this financial scandal."

no kidding

Don't forget, Morris is credited with being the brains behind the Clinton victories, much like Rove/Bush.

don't forget the great Reno, who threatened legal action if the numbers of "visible minorities" didn't rise in the accepted column of the mtg. balance sheet

Good catch bluetech. It was a classic. Orilley probably had a sh*tload of money in there and is mad as hell that maybe his stock went down.

Loved it. O'Reilly's was a tad o/t. But he said he was mad, would name names and would hold people responsible. None of it stuck to teflon Frank though, and no one else will dare come on the show.
AC deserves the take down, and it was a good one. Rove has done it also, but much less forcefully.
Can't ruffle the programmed AC, although a kick in the hard drive might help.

I thought it revealing that when Allan Colmes wanted to disprove McCain's concern for the middle class, he cited McCain's opposition to a raising of the minimum wage. In my opinion, raising the minimum wage does nothing for the middle class, but pretending that it does is in line with the "concern" for that class that Democrat's suddenly acquire prior to an election.

Yes atlanticjim.....you are so far right,you think you're in left field(which you are).Been there,raised there,got the TS. And now which part of the welfare state which is the Maritimes are you working for? As they say Lotto 7/45. Work 7 weeks,collect UI for 45.Only in NB,NS,PEI,and NFLD.

O'Reilly is a megalomaniacal a**hole. It is not his job to abuse guests no matter how correct his view or how scummy the guest is.

I'm as conservative as it gets but I think O'Reilly is a creep. He is a very bad advertisement for conservatism and adds to the Herculean task of winning over borderline liberals.

Please refrain from insulting each other, ok?

The chairman of the SEC went on O'Reilly and admitted he'd screwed up.

Barney Frank, chairman of the House Finance Committee, whose responsibiilty it actually is to make sure these financial dealings are on the up-and-up did not admit his inaction had a part to play in this mess.

That's what set O'Reilly off: ‘So, it's everybody else's fault but yours?' is classic.

Frank's inability to admit any culpability in this turn of events shows where the Democrats are at.

They blame Bush for what? For not telling Frank he was supposed to be protecting the American public from this eventuality?

That's Frank's job, not Bush's.

If he would have taken some responsibility, like the SEC guy did, O'Reilly would not have jumped down his throat with both feet.

Good for O'Reilly. He has publicly stated he's not going to let anybody get away with this, that he's going to track down all the perpetrators and call them out.

Grow up Barney and take some responsibility.

University of California Berkeley Study proves,
Children described as "feeling easily victimized, easily offended, indecisive, fearful, rigid, inhibited and relatively over-controlled and vulnerable" favored CONSERVATIVE politics when they grew up."

Righto. Sorry for the insults Kate.

Question for liberaleducator...is that conservative as in small"c" conservative,or as in large "C"?? There is a difference.Which one does the study refer to?

Could we get a link to that study liberaleducator?

Of course Berkeley is a totally impartial source of information on political viewpoints, right?

Liberaleducator is a waste of letters, we already know that the vast majority of educators are either Liberal, far left wing and a smallish number of communist.

That can't be a quotation,i.e., with the word 'Conservative' in capitals. I also doubt that such a study has any validity.

First, correlating such a large number of variables (8!!): 'feeling easily victimized, easily offended, indecisive, fearful, rigid, inhibited and relatively over-controlled and vulnerable" - with most of these variables subjective values and therefore not objective or quantifiably measurable - is in itself a biased study.

Then, attempting to link this arbitrary SET of 8 variables to ONE result (Conservative) is impossible.

After all, what variables have been excluded from this study? What are the control variables?

In other words - this is pure junk as a study, if indeed it even exists.

... if indeed it even exists. LOL.
I actually lost a friendship once when I told the guy, "listen man, the next time you tell me 'studies show' I'm asking for chapter and verse". I didn't learn this until many years later.

liberaleducator actually contains two problems. The two words result in a redundancy, and the second word is a euphemism

hey can you remember in school when the 3 Rs ment READ,RITITTEN and RITHMATIC and not REDUCE,REUSE,RECYCLE? like the greenfreaks are shoving in thier heads today SCREW THE GREENS

So, liberaleducator, you're saying that there's a study that says that people who, as children, have to deal with bullying (feeling easily victimized), are sensitive (easily offended), have thought through much of their choices and waited until they are more experienced to make responsible ones (indecisive), have their eyes opened too early to the problems of the world (fearful), and have developed disciplinary and responsible coping mechanisms at an early age (rigid, inhibited and relatively over-controlled and vulnerable) choose conservative? Well, hardly surprising to us conservatives that the more sensitive and truly introspective should do so, don'tcha think?

I'm still waiting for the Berkley study that proves that liberals are from Neptune and conservatives are from Uranus. I've got a feeling they're getting closer and closer to it.

http://www.thrfeed.com/2008/10/vp-debate-ratin.html

"Final: 69,989,000 viewers -- Palin-Biden the most-watched vp debate ever

83097955UPDATED: Thursday's highly anticipated face-off between Alaska governor Sarah Palin and Delaware senator Joe Biden was the most-watched vp debate of all time.

Last night's event was seen by nearly 70 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.

That's the most-viewed debate -- presidential or vp -- since the second round between Bill Clinton, Ross Perot and George Bush in 1992, and possibly the most since 1980's famed debate between Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter.

Thursday's event was 33% higher than Friday's top-of-the-ticket debate between John McCain and Barack Obama. It's 61% higher than the 2004 debate between Dick Cheney and John Edwards. And it ranks 23% higher than the former title-holder for the most-watched vp debate -- the 1984 match between George Bush and Geraldine Ferrarro (56.7 million)."

I think we have a new nickname for the VP candidacy:

"Sarahcuda the Im-Palinator"

Any way you slice this it, this gal has turned the Republican ticket into a winner.

Kudos to John McCain for an incredibly shrewd choice. All John has to do is work this ticket for the next four weeks, by taking the high road on ditching the toxic sub prime waste and exposing the systemic nature of the beast.

The "take no prisoners" approach of corporate raiders and leaving no leveraged profit unspoiled is not the sound footing to put the economy on.

If you leave no lo hanging fruit for the field gleaners you wind up with a severely injured economy.

Sometimes a little bit of charity goes a long ways, but the scorched earth approach is definitely over.

That might explain why conservatives are less likely to tolerate a bunch of crap.

Hey, c'mon, take in easy on Barney, he's a man's man....er, um.....yup!

Hey, c'mon, take it easy on Barney, he's a man's man....er, um.....yup!

nice to see DanBC's homophobia. What would a SDA thread be without racism or homophobia?

It's interesting how you Righties so love thugs like o'Reilly and Limbaugh. You fancy yourselves conservatives and someof you even call yourselves "Christians". But you like these guys who can't abide by laws of basic decency or mature civil discourse.

That goes for Ann Coulter and her wanna-be disciples such as the webmistress here and K Shaidle. The more snide, rude and even racist they get, and you guys eat it up.

Honestly, it really makes one wonder whether your political views are a justification for a serious deep-eated emotional problem. What mature person would want to have their worldview represented by the ignorant, bellowing O'Reilly?

I think Oreilly was a little over the top but on the issue they were dealing with he was dead-on right. Barney Frank tried to weasel out of what he actually said. He accused Oreilly or "misrepresenting" what he said. Oreilly did no such thing. The tape is there for all to see and hear. I played the thing thru once and watched the Frank tape again and Oreilly was bang on with his challenge to Frank to take responsibility.

Lets face it, Oreilly is like a bull in a china shop but Frank knew that going in. I fully agree with Oreilly's contention that Frank should step down as Chair of the House Banking Committee though I may not agree with his style.

I think Bill O-Reilly is voicing a lot of Americans' concerns here.

Great; that made me feel better

Un-real

real babbled: "...serious deep-eated emotional problem".

Yeah, my blood sugar goes off too if I don't drink enough. Gee, John, what would ya know about decency? You haven't made a respectful post on this blog yet. Or is just another case of standard lefty "do as I say not as I do".

What mature person would want to listen to anything you have to say about any view?

"feeling easily victimized, easily offended, indecisive, fearful, rigid, inhibited and relatively over-controlled and vulnerable"

Sounds more like Dion, Duceppe, and Layton than any conservative I know.

These studies are worse than useless, they have virtually no validity. There are too many parameters, so there's no way of validating the outcome, even if they followed their subjects from cradle to grave. What child doesn't have any or all of those feelings at one point or another?

Coincidence is not correlation and correlation is not causation. We are not preprogrammed or hardwired as some of the social scientists want us to believe.

I like Bill O-Reilly . May disagree with his tone or ideas at times. But he does at least try to stand up for the normal guy. He ought to watch his blood pressure though, or he’ll end up with a heart attack like me.

Reminds me of Sam Kinnison from the movie "Back to School" ... SAY IT! ... SAY IT!....

"It is not his job to abuse guests..." Oh contraire, the name of the show is The O'Reilly Factor. It is his frikkin' show. Yeah, on occasion (or more) he goes over the top but seriously, someone has to ask why Barney Frank doesn't think his shiat stinks. Besides the fact that he and others are up to their eyeballs in this stuff, he plays the innocent and tries to dump everything on anyone but the Dems and himself. Facts that theMSM seem to forget.

Ever wonder why when the first bill failed to pass it was the 12 Republican that didn't vote for it that were at fault and not the Democrats, many of whom are big shots on several financial committees? Look it up sometime, it is precisely the reason you shouldn't take the MSM at it's word.

Pretty clear that the leftoids can dish it out but they sure can't take it. These bullies have had it their way far too long. Now that the right is pushing back their feelings are hurt. Boohoo.

The Dems own the credit crisis, but they are in denial. They know they can get away with it because the judiciary & media will cover for them.

Sorry Kate, but I will not stand by and allow justhinkin's comment stand.

What do I do for a living? 17 years into a career in Her Majesty's Canadian Navy. What have YOU done for your country lately?

Dick Morris gives not so much a hissy fit as a rather deft and well deserved smack down of an idiot. And Jiminy Glick is pure comic genius.

Love the comments. Alan Colmes is as pompous and non thinking as you can get, yet all the meat heads that hate Fox still bray at the moon. If Fox is so one sided, why is their viewership way up? Where is the left/right dialogue on any other network? You sure don't see it on MSLsD CNN has the house plant Larry King asking the probing questions. Hannity and Colmes are polar opposites of each other, except in my opinion, Hannity at least has a pulse. Palin did what she will do best, connect with the population, more men than women I would think. But, she connects none the less. Colmes deserved the smack down he got. As for BFrank,who is anything but Frank. Regardless of what people that don't like BillO think, his show is highly watched because he has passion for what he believes in, and it can be damn funny. I believe strongly McCain and Palin had better pick up the pace use this debate as a tactic changer and get back in the game. Call Obama for being the socialist and Biden the whack job they are, and do it 24/7. Call out the media as they attack you turn it right back at them, and do it now. The media is hard after the Obama ticket winning. No quarter to be spared. You run elections too win, not to be nice.

Just watched Ann Coulter lay waste to poor Alan. He's had a bad couple of days.
Canada should have a FOX News Canada channel...

Enetertaining ideos. Liberaleducator has yet to respond ,I wonder why? Is it possible that his Berkely study involved asking Berkely students how they felt as children,and to take the easy way out they believed that they were conservatives. C'mon now,how many kids considered themselves as conservative or liberal or any political affiliation when they were children? I doubt if the dweeb with the hockey stick even considered his political leanings when he was a child.He just knew that he was odd and bullied and prayed everyday that no one would wipe a peanut butter sandwich on his forehead.

Fact of the matter is, O'Reilly DID misrepresent what Frank said.

Frank's original statement was that Fannie&Freddie was a bad investment. He said that 'going forward' things'should' be better.

O'Reilly tries to make it look like Frank was encouraging people to invest. I don't think someone saying it's a 'bad investment' is much encouragement, do you?

But O'Reilly thinks by bellowing and talking over the other person he can hide the fact that his central point makes no sense, and is, in fact, a lie.

And he's right! You goobers all eat it up!

Not that you guys really care whether it's a lie or not, right? ;)

nice to see DanBC's homophobia. What would a SDA thread be without racism or homophobia?

Posted by: real at October 3, 2008 7:35 PM

Real; Lets see if I got this right. DanBC's homophobia remark is racist. Yet one of the men "Barney Frank" responsible for signing a 1 trillion dollar loan package is not being a racist. Did he not see this coming "with all his untold advisers". Your view of the world must be very broad indeed.
I don't think that I would be to happy about it, "bailing out the wall street market is only going to give short term gain for long term public debt" that is owned by foreigners.
Lets move onto the 3 women that you mentioned. I personally do not find them racist. I find their comments, analogy's quite astute and viewpoints very reassuring in a world where thin skinned values are sought out on the "you hurt my one and only feeling" world.

US liberals consider Alan Colmes a lightweight at best.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., compared him to the losing team in a Harlem Globetrotters game, where Colmes' "whole job is to lose every argument."

O'Reilly's mad as hell and he's not gonna take it anymore. Millions of people lost their asses in the market crash. That's not deserving of anything less than an iron glove treatment by those in the media that care.

The truth behind the horrendous harm caused by the market meltdown won't just present itself for royal review at the appointed time. Somebody's got to roll up their sleaves and drag it out from under the slimy rocks of denial and obsfucation. Since the passing of Barbara Frum, in my books nobody does it more deftly than O'Reilly. If that bruises the tail feathers of the social policy peace doves or the tender loins of the Wall Street trough pigs that share direct responsibility, then so be it.

O'Reilly's much more dimensional in character and possesses way more heart than a "bully" could ever understand. God bless him for his stand. Too many other media mouthpieces are just trying to cover their eyes, ears and mouths until the disaster becomes history instead of news. Whatever people can say about O'Reilly's faults, being a yellow-striped journalist isn't one of them.

Just to clarify (in case anyone thought of it) 'DanBC' ain't I (DaninVan)...
I can put my own foot in my mouth ;)

Frank and Co. are going to lead the "investigations" into how the financial system came to it's troubles ... lord help us. Without the likes of Mad-Bill, no truth would ever come out ... and in the end it'd all land on the shoulders of Rove and Bush.

Frank made "forward looking" statements concerning Fanny and Freddy, which in his position are incredibly dangerous and possibly illegal. For investors, his words were clear ... the stock had some down side left, but going forward would be solid. That is a buy or hold for long term investors. Recall, that at the same time, Goldman Sachs and others were saying the same thing in their evaluations of Fanny and Freddy. The charts show that about the time that Frank and others were making "positive forward statements", Freddy went from $3.00 to close to $5.00 in August ... hundreds of millions of dollars flowed into those shares as Frank and others tried to prop them up ... and it worked. Then everybody was blindsided with the bailout and they lost their shirts.

Frank should be dragged out, stripped, and dropped in Waziristan.

liberaleducator: " ... favored CONSERVATIVE politics when they grew up."

Are you saying that they favored liberals if they never grew up?

I'm sure Barney would proud of his man. There is nothing wrong, nor insulting about that statement.

Racist? Hilarious...I could dig deeper, but I will leave it alone, other than to say, that if the rainbow people are a new 'race', it's news to everybody. It's a sexual preference, a choice, nothing more. There's a lot of things you could call Frank that would be truly insulting, such as another liberal crackpot politician, yet is still true.

Love the sinner, Hate the sin.

Good on O,rileed, that bottom feeder Barney Frank has been liberalling around for years, living off the public teat, stealing, lying, cheating, doing all the things every good liberal is proud to do every day. And Alan Colms is such a despicable man, and like every liberal they take on the looks of the animal they most act like, he looks like a salamander, and Fat Albert Gore resembles a rat. Suzuki, well he just looks like a .. I just can't say it.

real @ 9:59:

You have to stop selectively hearing only what you want to hear, now that you've swallowed the dem BS.

Play this clip and actually listen to what Barney Rubble says (around the 1:50 mark), then stop trying to spread the liberal/dem manure here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPSDnGMzIdo

From Wikipedia:

In 1998, he founded the National Stonewall Democrats, the national gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Democratic organization. In 2004 and again in 2006, a survey of Capitol Hill staffers published in Washingtonian gave Frank the title of the "brainiest", "funniest", and "most eloquent" member of the House.[9] As of May 2007, Frank is one of two openly gay members of Congress, the other being Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin.

But that's not what makes him a bad person.

[quote]The charts show that about the time that Frank and others were making "positive forward statements", Freddy went from $3.00 to close to $5.00 in August ... hundreds of millions of dollars flowed into those shares as Frank and others tried to prop them up ... and it worked.

Well said Paul! Least we forget that the CEO of Enron was charged for the same Conduct. [Convincing Employees to buy Company Stock in their K401's (converting IOU's to cash) when they knew the street had lost confidence.]

O'Reilly was over the Top, but he was making a point. Frank is not a thief!

Real,
US politics are not as transparent as you seem to believe. Try counting the issues, in November, that McCain & Obama have agreement in principle, and the political fall out on those that they disagree. What they are NOT saying, also helps.

I am a Republican and this race has worked out for me regardless of who wins the WH.

A) California is bankrupt & begging for a bailout... The Congress in 09 will not be lead by the dead heads from California or Nevada

B) Gore has been left waiting for a Bus to obscurity.

I'm afraid that link is too complex for me to figure out.

'Ever occur to you, le/ec, that "complex" might be another word for "screwed up"?

That thought did occur to me.

complex = confused

'Just another perspective for you to think about.

Other than the fact Hitler himself named his movement the National SOCIALIST party ...

Only a Marxist would consider Hitler to be a right-winger, since he allowed a private enterprise economy instead of a command economy directed by the Central Committee.

It's well worth googling Communist Manifesto to see how much further the US is along the path to slavery that is Canada.

When the FBI concludes its investigation and uncovers the level of corruption and follow the Fannie Mac money, people like Barney Frank will be luck to escape jail time.

At the very least, I'm expecting there will be many phony loans to non-existing properties, since nobody had to prove they had the ability to repay loans.

There has been much political interference in building the false American Dream of home ownership entitlement and the story, once it's fully exposed, will make the perpetrators of Adscam look like amateurs.

I wonder how many members of The House were "short" Fanny and Freddie in August? I bet Frank made some "friends" richer ... if not himself.

Dufus real said: "Frank's original statement was that Fannie&Freddie was a bad investment. He said that 'going forward' things'should' be better."

Of course he did. He is going to pressure a forward view at all costs. Going "backward" means his ass will be in a very deep sling - he is up to his armpits in Freddie and its chairman. Going backward could mean he will face criminal charges, his involvement may be that deep.

26 years - U.S. Navy...

To my fellow brothers in arms...Thanks for your service to your respective countries.

Barny Frank's former "lover" was an exec for Fannie Mae...some questions about Frank's objectiveness about the Fannie/Freddie issue. Also, there are clips dating back the last 5+ years where Frank and others (Maxine Waters is one) that state that Fannie/Freddie were in great shape and did not need oversight.

Frank had to have known what was going on...his inability to either speak up or try to take action is more than enough grounds for me and other Americans to ask for him to step down form his chairmanship position.

Question - Would you want Barney Frank to manage your checkbook? How about your local bank?

I watched a special on Fox news last night trying to track the financial downfall and it isn't all Bush's fault... not by looong shot. Think back in the 1930s and Rosevelt's "New Deal", in an attempt to get votes from the folks that would not normally qualify for a house.The Start up of Fannie May and then Freddie Mac with government backing. The bill signing and encouragement by Johnston's, and Carter signing in things before he left. Clintin did similar. The present gang of mouthpieces love to point fingers at the bad boy republicans, fell on dear ears. Democrats skuttled any plan the republicans put forth to get some regulation.

That documentry on Fox News laid out how the mess got so bad and who had their fingers in the pie. Any doubters of my facts can simply go to Fox News for actual video of the idiots telling us it was all fine. Hot Air will help you follow the train and will the Library of Congress.

Asearlier dawn strikes here in Nova Scotia than the ROC (except the ROCK)I had better retire so as to earn my wages for the next week.

I cannot believe DICK MORRIS went after Alan Colmes like that. That was a frickin' thing of beauty. What amazing video.

Watching O'Reily T off on Barney Frank, it was nice to see the Frankster get told off, but that's theater. Dick Morris telling Colmes to stop reading the talking points and use his brain, that was the Real Thing. Awesome!
