O’Reilly Panel Gets Fiery Over GOP Treatment Of Obama Muslim Conspiracists

video
» 70 comments

Two years into the Obama presidency, the issue of where he was born and what religion he follows somehow continues to be an issue for many on the far right, and now House Speaker John Boehner is coming under fire for telling NBC’s David Gregory that it’s “not my job” to dispel those rumors. Bill O’Reilly dedicated his regular panel with Juan Williams and Mary Katharine Ham tonight to the matter, railing passionately about why giving the matter airtime was destructive.

The trio, who usually get along quite well despite their regular disagreements, appeared testier than usual tonight from the get-go, with Williams firing the first shots and wondering why Gregory was being criticized when he wasn’t the first to bring the matter up– it was, he argued Brian Williams– and the Republicans appear unable to distance themselves from the birthers and those who believe the President is Muslim. O’Reilly argued that the question wasn’t in order because “I don’t think this has any traction at all” and that the fringe that believes such things don’t have an impact on policy. To that Williams countered that there were nine Congressmen trying to legislate based on those believes. “They’re pinheads,” O’Reilly retorted.

Ham came to the floor from a completely different direction, noting that the criticism of Speaker Boehner was illustrative of a “double standard” when Chris Matthews had called to see the President’s birth certificate and Bill Maher had noted he did not believe the President was Christian, but a secular humanist. Here Williams’ point applied more than O’Reilly’s, though the two did not intersect much– the problem, as Williams explained it, was the influence in Congress. Neither Matthews nor Maher have the kind of influence (or any, really) on Congress that Boehner has, nor are they elected. O’Reilly also continued to argue that the entire discussion did not matter, while Ham, in the process of O’Reilly rebutting her claims, appeared more impatient than usual, dramatically rolling her eyes while she waited to speak.

But while Ham was rolling her eyes and O’Reilly’s “straight talk” was somewhat elevated, the panel didn’t really lose their patience until Williams proposed that there was “coded language” in what the Speaker was saying, or at least in what he was refusing to condemn. At this point, O’Reilly cradled his forehead in rage and proceeded to insist, after six minutes of talking about it, that giving the issue any airtime was a complete waste. “The issue doesn’t matter,” he insisted, “it doesn’t matter. Sane, clear-thinking people understand that the President is not a Muslim and he wasn’t born in Indonesia or whatever they’re putting out there. So why does Meet the Press and NBC News take up valuable airtime to hammer a guy who has nothing to do with it?”

The discussion ended with O’Reilly telling Gregory off in the persona of Speaker Boehner, wondering why the Speaker hadn’t done the same. Not the most peaceful day on the ranch for this panel. The segment via Fox News below:

    This is the Fox plan for 2012. Not that he’s black, or sat in Rev. Wright’s church or so on, but that he might just be a closet Muslim, and that Muslims are without question our enemies. Because Muslims don’t have a big lobby. The Southern Strategy reincarnated.

    Gregory was having a strawman argument. “Why don’t you condemn these nutty people?” Well why didn’t every Dem speak out against those nut jobs that believed GWB planned 9-11… like Rosie O’ and a lot of the code pinkers…. oh ya and Van Jones???

    *sigh* Of course, O’Reilly doesn’t explain that this came up because of a focus group on his own channel, on Hannity’s show of all things, and that this is something that should once and for all be just squashed.

    Anyhow, he’s spot on in his assertions otherwise. This is a non-issue. We know the President is a citizen and a Christian or what have you. End of story, let’s move on.

    “Under Fire?”

    Like the “Racist” canard, it’s always the Left-Wing Media that brings the issue up as a calculated political strategy to demean Republican opposition.

    It’s not Boehner’s job to tell people what to think – that’s the Democratic Party that does that!
    And even if he did, what so-called “truth” was he gonna tell?

    This President LIED about virtually every major legislation he passed – from Stimulus, to Obamacare, to FedReg – so how is Boehner supposed to know what he believes about religion?

    Because no Dem Congressmen has been vocal publicly about this 9/11 as an inside job nonsense…oh wait, but Ron Paul has…odd.

    Way to bring up Van Jones too, got that from Glenn Beck did ya?

    I agree with Bill it’s a non issue and it’s a waste for NBC News to ask it. But why on earth does he have to go waste 7 mins on his own show?

    My goodness can you imagine how much policy can be discussed in the amount of time Matthews and others have spent time debating this? Sheesh.

    Well O’Reilly is an opinion show, for starters. Also, Ham & Juan always have a segment on his show over a multitude of topics. They tend to get along genuinely. You know – disagree on politics but get a beer together afterward.

    So you think the people who believe that 9/11 was an inside job, are somehow less crazy than the people who think Obama may have been born outside the United States, or the people who (like Bill Maher) don’t believe he’s actually a Christian?

    Is that what you’re saying?

  • BFD

    Rarely have seen O’Reilly come off as so illogical as to state this has no bearing on public policy and then admit nine “pinhead” Congressman are trying to legislate based on those beliefs.

    He was basically arguing with himself in this segment.

    And he lost.

    Yes – when you have a media that does not vet candidates, this is what you get. Simple way to make it all go away:

    Produce birth certificate.

    So you missed that Popular Mechanics had to do an entire expose on the Towers? I guess enough people were talking about it that they felt they had to do a full spread on it.

    The only reason less people might raise their hand now, is because enough time has passed. However, ask the same group of people (or an average group of Liberals) whether or not the 2000 and/or 2004 election was “stolen,” and see how many people raise their hands.

    I’m not surprised you think “the other guys” are crazier, BFD. You also think “the other guys” are meaner and ruder, that’s why you have to be so mean and rude. You have demonstrated time and time again a complete lack of self perspective, personal responsibility, and respect for anyone other than yourself. So why should this instance be any different?

    It is too funny how DavidGregoroy, who pushed the “Bush is a liar” story-line (despite all facts pointing to theopposite), is now having hissy fits when some people won’t denounce individuals who want to see the birth certificate? Obama can make it go away, he won’t. Why doesn’t David Gregory just ask Obama to release all the relevant records from his past (including his undergrad school records, which for some reason the press just isn’t interested in seeing).,

    David Gregory is a democrat hack, partisan propagandist. It is always the left who bring up the birther issue, why is that? David should just ask for all the relevant records and examine them, and put the story to bed. he won’t, why is that? Speaking of code words, it’s david and his democrat crowd that are always throwing around the code worded arguments.

    “To that Williams countered that there were nine Congressmen trying to legislate based on those believes.”

    Based on those beliefs? I don’t think so. I think the attempts to enact new legislation, at this point, are attempts to prevent this from happening in the future. I don’t see anything wrong with a new law that says any and all POTUS candidates provide proof that they meet the Constitutional requirements to be POTUS. I’m surprised this hasn’t happened sooner.

    But O’Reilly is right, Gregory and Williams, and even Tingles and Maher, give this legitimacy by constantly bringing it up. They are the ones fanning the flames and keep this thing going. Which is probably their intent actually.

    First there’s man made global warming. People with any intelligence knew that global warming was BS. You kids called us “flat earthers”. Then the emails came out showing the whole thing to be a scam. Silence in the media…In fact, some of you silly libs still rant on about a proven scam as being fact.

    Now we have the birth certificate. Us “birthers” have been screaming since before 2008 to show his BC. You libs and the Pinhead O’Reilly swore Barry produced his BC on line. We said no, we want his BC not a useless COLB. Then Matthews and Abercrombie finally admit that Obama should release his BC. Basically proving us “birthers” right concerning Barry’s BC. Again crickets! And you libs are still using Barry’s COLB which now has been proven NOT TO BE HIS BC as proof!

    But wait….there’s more. Abercrombie says he can’t find the BC in Hawaii….and crickets once again. Unbelievable…what’s wrong with you people…you can’t be that intellectually dishonest can you?

    Oh, and just for the record…the BC isn’t really the issue….It’s the fact that Barry was born with dual citizenship and therefore not Natural Born Citizen…thus, not eligible for POTUS.

    O’Reilly…..YOU ARE A PINHEAD

    If you can only list winning a Swedish Beauty Contest as an “accomplishment” for Obama, then he’s in some serious trouble come 2012.

    now that was flipping hysterical!

    Try these. Obama has already created more jobs (3mil) in two years than Bushwa did in eight (2mil). Obama has protected people with pre-existing conditions and children up to 26. He signed equal pay for women. He got combat troops out of Iraq. There is a lot he hasn’t done yet, and a lipless gnome named McConnell in the Senate who’s blocked most of that. He and “Hell no you can’t!” Orange John , the Weeper of the House have made a religion of the word NO. Now John, at least, has to take some responsibility, unless he wants the shortest majority in history.

    As long as Mrs.Obama was a legal citizen at the time of Barak’s birth, no matter where he was born, he is a legal citizen of this country.

    We conservatives need to keep this “place of birth” issue alive and in the forefront of discussion. If there is no truth to this issue, why does it drive the liberals so nuts???

    Also, their only response seems to be accusations of racism and other irrelevant banter, rather than simply providing the proof. Hmmm. This issue will easily cost the democrats a lot of political capital that could be spent better on other issues.

    Mrs Obama? His mother? Well, she was not married at the time. No, he is not a citizen just because he was born to her somwhere in the world.

    Boehner was right. It’s not his job, even when baited by Gregory, to defend Obama against people who think, rightly or wrongly, that he is not a natural born citizen or that he is a Muslim. That’s Obama’s job.

    And, on the birther issue, yes, it did originate from Hillary’s campaign and Obama could easily put that issue to rest by producing a long-form birth certificate, instead of spending considerable money on lawyers to keep all of his records, not only his BC, sealed up. What is he hiding, anyway?

    As to the NPP, it seems almost anyone can get one for almost anything anymore. Gore got one for fraud, Obama got one for making speeches, both proving my opening point, and an empty chair recently got one because the repressive Chinese regime wouldn’t let the real recipient, a political prisoner, out of prison to attend the ceremony.

    Oh, and, yes, sometimes Bill O. is a pinhead, just like his fellow Hah-vahd alum Obama.

    Fred Ziffel was a talking pig and apparently he’s a typing one too.
