Bill O’Reilly: Ron Paul’s Foreign Policy ‘Disqualifies Him’ To Be President

Among other things, the Holiday season means end-of-the-year gift giving, and as such, television viewers receive the gift of promotional appearances from authors looking to hawk their recently penned tomes. Take for example Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, who this morning appeared in enemy territory to sell his recent biography Killing Lincoln on NBC News’ Today Show. This appearance wasn’t all about pushing product, however, as O’Reilly shared his opinion on a number of GOP candidates and their chances on getting elected.

After discussing the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Ill, O’Reilly was quizzed about the GOP primary. Regarding the recent rhetorical back-and-forth between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, O’Reilly sort of shrugged with a “who cares?!” attitude, claiming that both of these guys will say whatever they can to get the nomination. He is a big fan of Michele Bachmann as a person, though not as a serious presidential candidate. And the legion of Ron Paul supporters will note that O’Reilly thinks that Paul’s foreign policy disqualifies him to serve as commander-in-chief (though some have surmised that his loyal support comes as a result of the very same foreign policy.)
