Anthony Weiner Vs. Bill O’Reilly Showdown Could Be Opening Bout To Weiner Vs. Beck

video
» 219 comments

After a week of Rand Paul and Richard Blumenthal, it’s refreshing to see a politician as polished and well-prepared as Rep. Anthony Weiner was tonight when he went one-on-one with the most-watched cable news host, Bill O’Reilly.

With O’Reilly only spending brief moments firmly in Glenn Beck‘s corner, the Goldline discussion O’Reilly gave Weiner “props” for agreeing to made for fantastic television.

O’Reilly came out with his main argument: “Why are you bothering with Beck?”

While Weiner didn’t answer directly, he said Goldline was the “biggest” of these gold companies, and that his independent report did look at others. “Glenn Beck has a responsibility to the people who watch his show to say, ‘you know what, there are smart ways and dumb ways to buy gold, and I’m advocating, this is a bad way,” said Weiner.

“That’s not true, he doesn’t have that responsibility,” fired back O’Reilly, who said Weiner’s attack “smacks of a witch-hunt.”

In the end, O’Reilly promised a Factor follow-up follow-up, as Beck would be back on Thursday. Weiner wanted to keep it going too. “We should have some hot dogs and some Beck’s beers and have some fun,” he said. O’Reilly just may hold him to that:

O’Reilly: Would you do it, though, one-on-one?
Weiner: I would be glad to.
O’Reilly: Alright we’ll set that up next week.
Weiner: O’Reilly can do anything.

Will we see Beck vs. Weiner, mano-a-mano? Maybe WeinerFacts.com will keep the scorecard. This also shows something else – why Bill O’Reilly is in a league of his own on cable news. Can a conversation (and it wasn’t a shout-fest, it was definitely a conversation) like the one below happen on any other program? The closest would be the Rachel Maddow/Rand Paul showdown, but that was a) a shock and b) not being watched by upwards of three million people.

Here’s the interview:

    Thousands of companies advertise on TV and radio, yet Congressman Weiner launches a crusade against this one. O’Reilly is right. This is just a witch hunt — part of an ongoing (and failed) attempt to persecute people who advertise on Beck’s show.

  • AikidoJoe

    This is a witch hunt.

    Where is the link to Weiner’s page?

  • Big_F-ing_Deal

    Beck, chickenshit that he is, wont be on with Weiner.
    The last time he debated someone on the left (the Acorn guy) he got his ass kicked so badly he cut his mike off and then bragged how he personally threw him outta the studio. lmfao

  • http://politicsofdestruction.com/ Bobomatic

    Weiner is the definition of a hypocritical prick. He wouldn’t be going after this gold company if they hadn’t run advertising on Becks show.

    Once again, an A+ rating and/or accreditation from the Better Business Bureau only means they resolve complaints, have a clear contract, have been in business for at least a year and they are properly licensed. It is not an endorsement of the actual business, rather it reflects upon the way they conduct it and whether they do it within the terms of their contract.

    I said the other day that Beck’s use of the BBB rating isn’t a direct violation of the group’s standards because he’s not a member and subject to their rules, but this O’Reilly segment seems to b teetering over the line and though they may be reluctant, perhaps it’s time for the Bureau to make some kind of clarifying statement to protect their good name.

  • TROLLING4LIBS

    So Anthony Weiner was all over the media during the HealthCare debate advocating for a bill, which forces Americans, to have to buy healthcare or be penalized in fines.

    Now he goes after Goldline a consumer choice?

  • roxsteady

    Every hear of car insurance? Weiner just neutered Bill O the Clown! Did he actually say at one point that he didn’t care? I wonder if the gold buying idiots who watch Beck care? P.T. Barnum was right and they all watch Beck!

    The following grid displays the number and responses to complaints over the last 36 months:

    Just in case the adults come back to the room, and the kids above go to bed, does anyone find it plausible that Weiner would, out of the blue, and with numerous legitimate “consumer” issues out there where people are really getting scammed, would decide it was his civic duty to single out and protect a bunch of relatively well heeled conservative tea partiers that not long ago he was calling racist violent loons?

    Wow, quite a turn of the heart Mr. Weiner.

    This doesn’t even pass the laugh test.

  • felixw

    Fox gives Beck critics air time during their most popular prime time show. And that is something that you will never see at MSNBC, CNN, CBS News, ABC News, NBC News, etc. etc.

    And that is also why Fox is growing its audience, while the Thought Police at the other networks are losing theirs. People want to see frank and open debate between differing views, and not the filtered, censored, politically correct pablum that the Left wants them to consume. So they have no choice except to tune into Fox.

    The biggest loser and the real victim in this latest example of “freeze a target and polarize it” politics will be the Better Business Bureau, a non partisan American institution.

    Weiner, a US congressman, flat out accused them of taking bribes on national TV.

    O’Reilly having a critic of Beck on his show would be the equivalent of Rachel having a critic of Olbermann on her show. And the original point was, you’ll never see that equivalent on MSNBC. It’s not that complicated, real john.

    I noticed, but you did not articulate your point and you also did not address the point I, and WRITER, made about MSNBC.

    It’s doubtful the other networks would give air time to someone to specifically attack one of their own. With MSNBC, it’s a lead pipe cinch you’ll never see them allow someone airtime to criticize Olbermann.

  • writer

    MSNBC won’t even allow one of their own to criticize Olbermann. Look what happened to Shuster. And Chris Matthews walks on egg shells, afraid he might say something their golden boy won’t like.

    John’s point (I think) was ABC etc. broadcast situation comedies etc. during there prime time hours, but Felix’s point had merit when it came to MSNBC and CNN.

  • writer

    real john, felix was saying that MSNBC won’t allow anyone on to criticize their personalities the way Fox will. Then your argument was that MSNBC has critics of Beck on all the time. Duh.

  • http://www.sailrabbits.com Magister

    @writer: While the guest did get in a few lines critical of Beck, my impression from the above clip is that Fox’s biggest, most-watched and one of their most-respected personalities was defending an important advertiser and one of the network’s rising stars.

    John,

    So far, you implied that I have the intelligence of a 4th grader and that I am ignorant. That is the equivalent of name-calling.

  • Rogue-Comic

    MAGISTER,

    That is the real issue here. Weiner is trying to scare off Beck’s sponsors, and he is throwing the Better Business Bureau under the bus in his effort.

    I’m not, by any means, a gold investor or a Beck zealot, but this strikes me as nasty politics.

    “and you only addressed the broadcast networks in an effort to make Felix look bad while omitting MSNBC and CNN

    real john may have a point. Calling someone ignorant and questioning their reading skills is not name calling per se. That falls more in the insult category.

    I loved Mary Katherine Hams comment that to believe Weiner is sincere, we have to believe he’s all of a suddent worried about the tea-partiers who have invested in Gold. Yeah we all know how much the left cares for the tea-partiers.

    Yeah, Michelle. The fact that Weiner hates Beck had nothing to do with which gold seller he picked to go after. Pure coincidence.

    HUH! Rogue, I pointed them out because they don’t have news programs in prime time. They are not a 24 hr news network. Do you even understand now.

  • writer

    I think you’re seizing too much on felix’s ‘prime time’ comment, and ignoring the gist. The point was that Fox gives air time to its critics, and you won’t see the other news/opinion shows doing that. (Especially on MSNBC, where everyone is terrified of Olbermann.)

  • http://www.sailrabbits.com Magister

    @Rogue-Comic: Weiner did get a little specific, but I’ve made several comments to the various threads that it’s Beck & Co. who are throwing the Better Business Bureau “under the bus” because they keep misrepresenting the meaning of the rating and I’m sorry, but I’ve also commented a couple of times that though the BBB may not want to issue a statement because Goldline pays their dues, it’s starting to look like they’ll have no choice.

    Beck and O’Reilly keep giving the impression that the Bureau endorses the company and its pricing, while they are only vouching that they real.

    Of course, as I’ve also said on other threads, we’re talking about a pricing difference of $154 on Krugerrands. Yes, the company is free to set their own prices and people are free to purchase products from whomever they want, but a Krugerrand is a Krugerrand and I know that I’ll take a special swing by one store to pick up peanut butter or Newman’s Own because they’re a dollar and a half cheaper than the other place, two blocks away.

  • MichelleF

    Beck also noted that Weiner’s newly hired press secretary until recently worked at Media Matters, a liberal media watchdog that has accused Beck of crossing ethical lines in shilling for sponsors including Goldline, and asserted that Weiner was targeting Goldline and Beck at the behest of the White House, which has rebuked Beck for his scathing attacks on Obama.

    Hm, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Media Matters one of many lib organizations leading a boycott against Beck? Now I’m sure that’s just a coincidence. Hey Rox, when you do your conference call with Media Matters tomorrow, can you find that out for us?

At that’s why you seized on that ‘prime time’ comment and shook it like a pit bull, all the while pretending you had no idea what felix was getting at. Reminds me of Bill Clinton wanting to know what the definition of ‘is’ is.

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    First, to all libs, you don’t get to set prices or profit margins for anyone, you just think you can. Nobody cares what you think and the polls are proving it everyday. Pushing your socialism is bringing down the Dems.

    Second, Weiner says there are 40 complaints about Goldline so we need to investigate them. Using the Weiner logic, I get 400 complaints a day about Congressman Weiner, I think we should investigate HIM. We already know he has finacial complaints against him and he has the nerve to complain about someone else, LOL.

    Magister, what do you think would be the solution to the problem as you perceive it of some markets running up out of proportion to any abstract worth and companies legally charging what the market will bear or selling their over valued stock?

    Remember that at this time we really don’t know when gold will reach its peak and/or which Goldline investments will prove to be good and which bad. What did you think of the dotcom and real estate bubbles that burst in the past that left our economies in ruin for a while.. I don’t think Beck had anything to do with those events and I seriously doubt that Goldline single handedly will have any major, or even minor, impact on our presently sick economy.

    Fox gives Beck critics air time during their most popular prime time show. And that is something that you will never see at MSNBC, CNN, CBS News, ABC News, NBC News, etc. etc.

    And that is also why Fox is growing its audience, while the Thought Police at the other networks are losing theirs. People want to see frank and open debate between differing views, and not the filtered, censored, politically correct pablum that the Left wants them to consume. So they have no choice except to tune into Fox.”

    Are you kidding me?
    It’s car crash ratings gold! ALL stations want opposing views on to give the people a chance to put their foot in their mouth.

    Do you really think MSNBC, CNN, CBS News, ABC News, NBC News have not invited every single top conservative TEA party player onto their stations???? If you honestly don’t think they haven’t you must be delusional.

    ANY station would LOVE to give Sarah Palin an open debate. How about Rand Paul just turning down the chance to go on one of those stations? Many of those political figures are not on those stations not because they are not given the opportunity, they are not on those stations because it is most often not in their best interest to do so.

    Pull your head out of the FOX hole.

    @Rogue-Comic: Private businesses are already getting thrown under the bus, follow John T’s link to an article from a non-political numismatic trade publication and while you’re there, if you’re in the market for gold, click around to compare prices.

    @Grammie: As I’ve revealed in other threads, I’ve traded in coins as a kid and I’ve played mining stock as an adult.

    My “expert” analysis is that the gold bubble probably won’t be popping soon, precisely because there are elements in the media who are telling their followers to buy and as long as there are people who believe in them, the price will be artificially inflated. There’s also a couple of other “fears” which have been driving the market for a long time and I see none of them letting up soon, so though it’s dependent largely on what I feel is hyped and irrational demand, I don’t think the bubble will burst next week.

    Now as I’ve also said… Goldline advises their clients to be in a position to hold their investment for three to five years, probably because Goldlines fees are four or five times the standard, but if you were to hold your investment for three years, you’d be into the next administration and either you don’t think things will get better after the election or you’re “betting” against your own success.

  • Rogue-Comic

    @Magister: I’m Lex Luther-like in my investments; I prefer real estate over things such as gold and Gene Hackman’s comedic advice has kept me comfortable so far in the current economic meltdown. It seems I rely on comic villains for investment advice, not Weiners or Becks. The point though:

    This business is a shakedown on Beck’s adverts targeting Goldmine specifically but the message has been sent; if you pitch your product on Beck’s show the government will come after you. This isn’t good no matter which side of the battlefield you plant you flag on. Thirty years ago Alice Keaton of Family Ties fame would have marched against tactics such as this.

    You can hate Beck but hopefully you can hate government intimidation even more. Beat Beck with ideas not like a bully a on playground .

    @John: because you were rude to John Simpson and Felix, and I really didn’t think it would carry on for over 100 posts. Do you have an opinion on the Weiner/Beck war?

    No MichelleF, I was busy with my own affairs. Unlike you who watch the blogs 24/7, I have a life. Michelle, Colour of change are leading a boycot of beck, are they not allowed under the freedom of speech. Just like beck does regularly, by comparing his fellow citizens to Nazis and Communists. So what goes around comes around. If you can dish it out, you should be able to take it. Now Beck is hiding behind his kids by stating they are after his kids. Now that sounds like a coward to me.

    Michelle, this is not a joke you know. Playing with people’s emotion. Do you know to these people its like a game to them. Lets see who can say the most outrageous thing, so we can get in front of the Times magazine, or who gets the highest rating. If you think its ok to spout all those rubbish (which is protected under the first amendment) then those who are screaming boycott also have the right to do so weather you like it or not. Its up to the public to decide what to follow.

    Just like beck does regularly, by comparing his fellow citizens to Nazis and Communists.

    You’ll recall it was Nancy Pelosi who called the tea-parties brown shirts. You do know what a brown shirt is, right?

    Oh and as far as calling people communists, he’s using THEIR OWN WORDS. He didn’t call them communists, they refer to themselves as that. Let’s get your facts straght before maligning Beck.

There’s no pint debating you, you’d stick to a particular position even if you can see clearly that it wrong. I’ve laid it clear and you cant argue about it, but you keep going round and round. So if its fair game for beck to call them Nazi then they can boycott him. In the end its the money that count for most of them.

    One aspect of racism is treating one race differently from another. Did criticism of the president only start since Obama took office? No. Every president we’ve ever had has been criticized.

    Obama Presides Over Most Jobs Lost Since 1940
    By Julia A. Seymour
    Business & Media Institute
    1/8/2010 11:03:00 AM

    Unemployment shot up in 2009 from 7.7 percent in January to 10.1 percent in October before settling at 10 percent in December. Behind those percentages were more than 4.1 million people who lost their jobs during the year. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that’s the most job losses in a year since 1940. (BLS could only provide data from 1940-2009)

    Oh, snap!

    As for the deficit, CBO shows that over the first three years of the Obama Presidency, 2009-2011, the federal government will borrow an estimated $3.7 trillion. THAT IS MORE THAN THE ENTIRE ACCUMULATED NATIONAL DEBT FOR THE FIRST 225 YEARS OF U.S. HISTORY.

    Oh, snap!

    Deficit climbs to record under Obama’s budget

    $3.8 trillion budget: Jobs take priority; reaction swift
    February 02, 2010|By Carolyn Lochhead, Chronicle Washington Bureau

    Washington — President Obama’s $3.8 trillion budget blueprint for next year sets a new deficit record of $1.56 trillion, includes a big jobs program and rolls back Bush-era tax cuts for high-income Americans.

    Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
    Tuesday, May 25, 2010

    Overall, 42% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. That is the lowest level of approval yet measured for this president. Fifty-six percent (56%) now disapprove of his performance.

    Writer,
    those were war rallies that were against the war, not against government.
    Teabaggers are against big government and tell me wasn’t that what Bush started? So where were they then?

    Jeffy Simpson, the oil spill was not Obama’s fault, it was the party of “Drill baby Drill”

    So Jeffy are you just mad that your horse fluffing business did not get any stimulus?

    BTW, scooty, is fully 1/3 through his presidential term. People wanted a commander-In-chief,not the blamer-in-chief which we have now.

    So what is your point, Scott? That since we have a black president, we should do away with the right to protest?

    No, no, no son- the rig had not even begun to pump oil, child! They were still drilling for oil when the spill occurred and it was BHO’s Dept. of Interior who exempted BP from the required environmental impact study.

    First of all, the tea party movement wasn’t around then. And second of all, if you think that conservatives didn’t have a problem with Bush’s spending, you are absolutely delusional. You’re just remember it how you want to.

    Oh and Obama had the power to change anything Bush supposedly did to aid BP with the stroke of a pen and didn’t so you’re argument holds NO water. Oh and btw, the regime was set to give BP a safety award the day after the spill, so you lose again. Your blindness when it comes to obama is scary.

    U.S. exempted BP’s Gulf of Mexico drilling from environmental impact study

    Washington Post Staff Writer
    Wednesday, May 5, 2010

    The Interior Department exempted BP’s calamitous Gulf of Mexico drilling operation from a detailed environmental impact analysis last year.

    The decision by the department’s Minerals Management Service (MMS) to give BP’s lease at Deepwater Horizon a “categorical exclusion” from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on April 6, 2009 — and BP’s lobbying efforts just 11 days before the explosion to expand those exemptions — show that neither federal regulators nor the company anticipated an accident of the scale of the one unfolding in the gulf. ”

    Why Did the Obama Admin Exempt the Deepwater Horizon From Environmental Impact Study?
    by Matthew McDermott, New York, NY on 05. 6.10

    “It somehow boggles the mind, doesn’t it? But you’re reading the title correctly. BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig was exempted from having an detailed environmental impact study done by the Department of Interior last year. The Washington Post looked at federal documents and found that the department’s Mineral Management Service have the project a “categorical exclusion” from review, something which BP had been lobbying for more broadly just prior to the explosion that kicked of this series of tragic events. ”

    Oh, snap- joth t you are dumb!

    Okay, Scott. Now the protesters have a name attached to them. And they don’t like Obama’s policies. And they only popped up since Obama has been in office. Again, what is your point? That they have no right to protest?

    Michelle, as soon as most Americans see what Obamacare will do, people will change they’re minds?

    Michelle you can disagree with Obama and not be racist unless you are a teabagger or support the movement like you do. Sorry wrong again.

    Jeffy, Obama will be re-elected because the republican have no one that can beat him. He took over a mess and sure his policies might not be popular, but he want what is best for us. Unlike Lame Duck Bushie.

    I know you libs think using the term teabagger makes you sound cool, but it’s pretty pathetic. The honest truth is you can’t stand any criticism of this president, but you are just going to have to get over that. He brought it on himself by saying he was going to “fundementally transform America”. He reached TOO far to the left too fast and it woke the silent majority. Now, you have to deal with those consequences.

  • jrcmi

    If unions had “infested” BP’s operations, eleven people might not be dead and billions in damage might have been avoided.

    Details of events leading up to the explosion, fire and spill are emerging – pointing to possible improper shortcuts and safety violations. Unions typically require safety inspectors with the power to “blow the whistle” on misconduct.

    Similarly, if unions had “infested” Massey’s coal operation, a couple dozen more workers might not be dead.

    If you care more about corporate profits than human lives, God forgive you. I won’t.
