O'Reilly right?

 YOU BETCHA!

I saw it and loved every frame. Kalb is another jerk acting as if he is so neutral and a curse to both libs and cons. BOR stopped him cold. If he was in Alaska he would have died from EXPOSURE!

This morning I got an up close and personal look at the stupidity infecting 65 million people who went to the polls on NOV 4th.  On my way to work, I stopped to pick up a few things.  At check-out, I glanced at the stack of USA Todays on the counter and noted the headline "Obama's Plan for Iraq" above the fold.  I chuckled, pointed to it and said out loud, "That's pretty funny."  The clerk shot daggers at me and responded, "Well, we'll see.  Bush screwed it all up."   I had to smile at her presumption, the vast font of wisdom and erudite decision-making which led her on the 40+ year journey to a cash register in a convenience store.  Heaven knows why, but I suddenly felt inspired, so knowing full well, it would do no good, I simply said that there are those who simply believe that President Bush was put into an untenable position.  I'm sure that it was completely lost on her, and why shouldn't it be?  It's lost on the liberal intelligencia who teach our children, and it’s lost on Katie and Oprah, (who look to influence our moms) neither one of whom to my knowledge has ever given credit for their prosperity to the freedoms inherent in our republic.  Freedoms which are maintained for them because this president dared to project our power away from our shores, keeping the enemy at arms length.

It's always nice to see someone on the left get whacked with a good helping of logic. Its a shame it never seems to take roots and grow.

On a side note it really seems as if billy O has down shifted his rhetoric concerning the PEO and the future administration.

Marvin Kalb, just another liberal who sees military service as a negative. Has Kalb ever put on the uniform? I'm willing to bet that Kalb thinks that he is responsible, because he is in the media, for our freedoms.

Well, his freedoms as well as the freedoms of every American, including Obama's, has been bought and paid for by the blood and sacrifice of the men and women who have served and are serving in the United States Armed Forces. It is the United States Military that ensures that the American people have the rights outline in the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution.

Remember folks, FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.  

     That was a beauty to watch. Kalb, A Liberal Dinosaur, been around since the Last Supper, and he gets a solid liver punch. The audience is clapping, the best touche I've seen on T V in a long time. Bill did a real good job with that spot. We need to see more of that from Bill.

It was heartening to watch Bill O'Reilly pull a "gotcha" on Kalb. Did everyone notice how shrill Kalb was?  He was rude, postulating, or as my Dad used to say, "Had his peacock feathers spread" while asking Bill O the questions.  So, once ol' Bill asked if he meant Clinton, the deer in the headlights look on Kalb's face was priceless. 

Kalb is a perfect example of what is wrong with today's journalism.

Sweet! BO'R just ripped the veil off what was a Bush-bash disguised as an honest, objective question.  The reason I still watch O'Reilly is to see him do what he did to Kalb, which you won't see anywhere else. He's lost his edge lately, IMHO.  Nice to know he can still be sharp on occasion.

"Well, I've got nothing against the press...they wouldn't print it if it wasn't true..." -- Joe Jackson, "Sunday Papers"

 I confess, I have quit ALL broadcast news on TV.  FOX, all of them.

 Cold turkey.

None of them are worth a damn and they're getting worse.

Now, I can pick and choose which Conservatives news I care to review. 

I was disappointed in that O’Reilly didn’t ask him about his military service.

But, according to his biography Kalb did not serve in the military.

What do they say about people who throw stones and live in a glass house?

Kalb, being born in 1930, would have made him eligible for Viet Nam service, but working for Harvard University at the time he probably got a deferment.

Isn’t that how the liberal elites, most of them journalists, did it?

But first...bravo zulu to BO'R.

Why do people like Kalb seem so offended that Prez Bush, or anyone else, was "only" in the National Guard?  Smart people realize that career military personnel like...me, for instance, function as caretakers and first responders during seasons of peace, and that when the excrement hits the fan it's the reservists who must drop what they are doing, get a haircut, kiss the family goodbye, and report for duty.

I didn't (and still don't) care whether a person is a reservist or a member of the National Guard; he wears the uniform, he received the same training, and when called to active duty is subject to the same hazards as us regulars. 

Anyway...I think somebody like Kalb should be required to have "worn the uniform" before he's permitted to ask a question or write about military matters (that's silly, I know.)  I just get tired hearing questions and comments about the armed forces from lilly-livered, spineless, gutless weasels like Kalb and his ilk.  

...but I don't know how to make it any clearer.
