Oreilly is really losing it today
Edited on Thu Apr-29-04 11:44 AM by AussieInCA
lets see:

1. the Iraqi's are a writeoff, freedom goal is a writeoff, we're there for America (don't know what the hell that last point means)

2. Calling for Canadian Boycott because 2 American dodge service by going there, at the same time he says the 17 soldiers that where shown are 17 out of 250K (wow thought we had 135k there). (hey Bill don't blame the Canadians for 2 American's going there if you don't want Iraqi's to hold all of American soliders accountable for those 17).

3. OReilly factor boycott will push Canada into a recession (HAHAHA)

4. Iraqi's only listen to the cleric's (even though the Gallop said that only happens in the slums there and their is no scientific statistics to make that assertion)

5. Canadian's see the US as barbarians and they are enlightened, hate the O'Reilly viewers, press in Canada are left wing bias, blah blah blah.


lol it's funny to listen too. Noticed he hasn't really had any callers today.

O'Reilly is such a smeghead

2. As if enough of the world doesn't already hate us, he wants us to
piss of the country we share a border with!

That is a great WAY to fight the war on terrorism!

He is a national embarrassment.

7. Maybe he has been hanging with Rush and is high?
Maybe he did too many pills with Rush and that is
why he is incoherent?
Maybe he is just an idiot.

4. We've always been there only for American interests, not Iraq's
Our interests are having 1)military basis and 2)an example to 3)intimidate the rest of the region into making sure we get our oil and a favorable price, with no interruptions in supply.

6. And I'm SURE
Absolutely, positively CERTAIN beyond a reasonable doubt that O'Liely's boycott has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the fact that Canada was smart enough to call a duck a duck and call Fox News a lying propaganda arm of the U.S. administration.

10. Iraqi people aren't worth american lives
I don't care if we bribe them as long as they don't support terrorists.

LOL, the same idiot is saying terrorists are the ones killing our guys there. (what fookin planet is he on)

Caller: what if this creates a mess in 15 years?
OReilly: I don't care

Caller: how is bribing any different to what past administrations did to contain them?
Oreilly: that's ok, they aren't worth dieing over.

What a debacle

12. I heard something on the BBC
that Canada had rejected FOX News.

I've tried searching for news, but can't seem to come up with good search terms to find what I'm looking for. I believe it had to do with whether or not FOX would be on Canadian basic cable or premium cable.

Any Canadians out there who can clarify?

19. I'm not Canadian, but this is directly from the source...
http://www.ccta.ca/english/news-information/news-releases/2004/04-15.htm

They are not saying "yes," they are not saying "no," they are acknowledging the fact that authorization has been requested from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. So anything that O'Reilly is saying about Canada wanting to keep "the truth" (also known as "Fox News") off of the Canadian airwaves is a pile of horse crap. The ISSUE is that they are taking the time to make the decision and they are not making it on O'Reilly's timetable, also known as "I snap and you jump."

"OTTAWA, Ontario, April 15, 2004 – The Canadian Cable Television Association (CCTA) today filed an application with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for authorization to offer FOX News Channel to cable customers across Canada.

If approved, FOX News Channel would join a growing list of international news and public affairs channels authorized by the CRTC including BBC-World, EuroNews and CNN. The CCTA will continue to look for additional news services to add to the channel line-up this year.

“The addition of popular services like FOX News Channel provides Canadian digital cable customers with access to more choice when selecting their information sources,” said Mr. Hennessy. “These also help stimulate the rollout of digital platforms that are used to provide a range of new Canadian specialty, on-demand and high-definition television services.”

22. You are my hero...
I searched for that for SO long.
Don't forget (ugh) MSNBC is in Canada as well...
I wanted to find something on the CRTC site, though...

20. You have to read this from NYT on the Fox hate mail
that a Canadian editorial columnist has received. It's hilarious/scary.

When a Canadian Insults Fox News, Them's Fighting Words!


http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/25/weekinreview/25krau.html

"...Two weeks ago, the Canadian cable industry filed an application with the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission to begin including the Fox News Channel among its listings. That would bring the channel to a country with a very un-Foxian knack for legalizing same-sex marriage and teasing Yanks for burning down their own White House in the War of 1812. The cultural divide burst into raw insult when Fox News' Bill O'Reilly recently got into a public brouhaha with John Doyle, the television critic for The Globe and Mail, Canada's most influential newspaper.

American news junkies couldn't help but get into the cross-border food fight, with many Fox News fans seeing red and, in response, other Americans feeling the need to apologize for their less-than-polite countrymen. The mess, without some of the more colorful language, is on display below. "

25. Doyle's Irish, real Irish, unlike Bill. He can take it. Here's his column
http://www.globeandmail.ca/servlet/story/RTGAM.20040429.wxdoyle29/BNStory/Entertainment/

I think Fox News Channel is comically overheated with its wailing about "left-wingers" and "elites." I also think O'Reilly is nothing more than an intolerant windbag, what the Irish astutely call a gobshite.

21. Sort of...
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=ed81acbf0e875aac
http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20040429/DOYLE29//?query=Iraq

Basically, it was rejected under the Canadian Radio-television and
Telecommunications Commission's programming guidelines.
I can't find the article, but it should be at http://www.crtc.gc.ca somewheres. Or else they haven't put it up yet.

aneurysm?
He's well on the way to exploding, like that man in Scanners.

14. O'Reilly: "Thousands of letters have poured in"
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,118511,00.html

Letter #1: Paul in Kingston, Ontario writes, "I feel real anger towards Canadian media people who are so blatantly anti-American. Please do not use my last name, I fear government reprisal."

Back to O'Reilly:

"Canada is now on notice. Undermining the American military by giving sanctuary to deserters will bring action by the most powerful force on this earth, the American people."

Err...ahem...maybe he should stick to writing erotic thrillers.

Freudian excerpt from Bill's best seller "Those Who Trespass"...

"All of that made Ron Costello an angry, bitter man. Despite his obvious limitations, he thought he deserved to be in the first echelon of broadcasting stars. He wanted a lead role, more fame and, especially, MORE POWER."

17. Savage is racheting up the rhetoric, too.
I don't think they can sustain the fever pitch until November and that does not bode well, IMHO.

24. Yeah....
A Canadian boycott...
That will go over REAL well when half of the northern US is blacked out and drinking water becomes scarce...
Or is it only a boycott of Canadian stuff that most Americans are AWARE of, which doesn't include power and water and other sort of essential stuff like that...

28. What has O'Reilly's position been on Catholic communion
and denying it to pro-choice presidential candidates? Because if he's said anything against Kerry about it, then point 4:
"4. Iraqi's only listen to the cleric's (even though the Gallop said that only happens in the slums there and their is no scientific statistics to make that assertion)"
would be pretty damn weak too.

29. No, O'Reichley is just one of many Bushevik "Julius Streicher's
http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/biography/Streicher.html

Tell me that ain't O'Richley, Limbaugh and Insannity.

Got news for you Nazi Fucks. Try and finish the job of destroying the Old American Republic so that your Bushevik masters can rule unchellenged, and you will have MUCH MORE to deal with than a few Canadians.

You will have Free America to deal with. We are stirring, and we HATE your bootlicking brainwashed (or brainwashING, for the Coulters and Streichers) asses for the same reason we hated the Nazis and Soviets.
