Tonight O'Reilly falsely equated investigations in to the mafia to what Peter King is doing with his investigations in to the Muslim community in America. Since all people in the Mafia were Italians O'Reilly doesn't understand the difference between that and what King is doing. As Rep. Ellison points out the only way the two would be the same is if Kennedy in the 60s was investigating all Italians for signs of criminal activity, which of course is not what Kennedy did.

Once this is made clear by Rep. Ellison O'Reilly quickly changes the subject and says that congress should have Frank Gaffney testify before congress because he made a claim that 75% of mosques in this country support violent actions against the United States. O'Reilly says that he doesn’t know if what Gaffney says is true but because he made the claim he should have the opportunity to testify before congress and appear on O'Reilly's show (which he will do next week). And Gaffney clearly has a lot of credibility. In 2003 he called on the United States military to take out the Al Jazeera news network. He also believes that Barack Obama isn't a natural born citizen of the United States and cannot be president. Or as O'Reilly would call him: a expert witness.

Sorry about the bad editting in this video, it's my first. I'll get better at it.

3. That was your first video? If it is, nice job!

Not sure if those comments were yours, "no limit", but assuming they are, I am impressed.

Bill O'Reilly is really a tool, just throwing low hanging fruit out there for anybody with half a brain to respond to.

If I was there I would have asked him if he considered all Italians to be part of the Mafia. Does he still believe that, after all every Mafia member is Italian. It is actually a great counter argument to throw out, now that I think about it.

I would have also mentioned that debunking the obviously false assertion of 75% of Mosques practicing Sharia would have no impact on whether it is covered on Fox "news". They continuously referenced fully debunked and easily debunked information daily.

5. Thanks! Yup, first one.

That's a good point about the Italian argument.

I just don't understand how these people can get away with constantly spewing absolute horseshit. How they can take a claim from a birther and elevate that claim to such prominence on their network is truly disgusting.

4. King is trying to be the Senator McCarthy of his day.
