Bill O’Reilly: Rep. West Is ‘Making A Mistake’ By Not Explaining ‘Nasty’ Comments

video
» 103 comments

Rep. Allen West has outraged a good number of people in the media with his infuriated email against DNC chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, in which he calls her “vile” and “a coward” and a number of other colorful epithets. The email was so venomous, it seems some that may agree with the sentiment hesitate to support it. Take, for instance, Bill O’Reilly, who argued today that the exchanges between the two were “nasty” and “personal” and that Rep. West “hurt himself” by not explaining himself more publicly.

O’Reilly played the comments Rep. Wasserman-Schultz made on the House floor that enraged Rep. West, and noted that the Factor invited him on the program to explain, but he declined. Speaking to Fox Business’s Dagen McDowell, O’Reilly explained that, in response to the backlash, Rep. West “issued some kind of very scorching statement on his website,” but that it was no enough. While McDowell explained that Rep. West had brought up “a previous beef” between the two Congresspeople, O’Reilly argued that the website notes were not enough. “I would come on and say… here’s why I’m so angry about this,” O’Reilly advised. “By not doing that, he hurts not only himself, but his cause.” While O’Reilly did not entirely take positions, aside from calling the spat nasty and personal, he concluded that Rep. West could not come out looking good in this situation without going public with the policy.

    tell me about our “polite society”.  Please, explain to me the heinous statements that have been made about the Palin Family and the Bachmann Family.  Please, enlighten me about this polite society.

    You mean the one where people highlighted the fact that a person who trades on ridiculous family values has a daughter who gave birth at 17?  Or that she used her position to settle person scores?  Or that Marcus Bachmann calls homosexuals barbarians and monsters?

    When is the last time you heard any of the hortatory loudmouths at MSNBC criticize a liberal congressman?  Even with Weiner, they were willing to give him a pass.  So I don’t watch it, but from the Mediaite clips I watch, Fox seems much more objective.  It’s obvious they both have an agenda, but with MSNBC, you are reminded of Tass and Pravda the way they toe the party line.

    I am just pointing out the FACT that most other stations will not call out Democrats for their outrageous behavior and statements.

    How many called out all of the Democrats getting together and planning to specifically use “extremist” as a descriptor for Tea Party people or candidates?

    You know for a fact it is a not a wash, the other channels do not call them out. I just find it amazing that you have leftist bomb throwers calling out Fox and you can see that Fox does have a fair and balanced approach. Heck, they now have Bob Beckel on as a regular.

    I could name probably 100 things off the top of my head that the other News networks and media will not only not cover it, but make excuses for it.

    Nothing “faux” about it.  And I understand “faux.”  I once gave a statement to the gendarmes in Grenoble in French.  (They erroneously arrested a bystander totally unconnected to the incident on the basis of my statement.)  And you’ll be laughing out your ass if Obama gets re-elected and wrecks the economy with debt.  If you were smart enough to get through law school and actually find a client, you might be able to test your relative intelligence to mine, but I imagine with you the issue of your intelligence is still somewhat academic.  I’m guessing community college.

    But that is not really the point.  He got angry over some comments she made on the House floor (maybe he does not understand that C-Span shows other programs when Congress is not in session) and shot off an angry e-mail.

    Why would one be bothered to understand his policy positions?  Instead of an e-mail that said, “My policy positions are X,Y, and Z.” he sent an angry e-mail to the head of the DNC.

    I could give a crap, but don’t pretend that he is not exactly the sharpest spoon in the drawer.

    The DEMS give her the marching orders and to her credit she never strays. Unfortunately she doesn’t have a brain in her head and I hope West keeps fucking with her. Schultz and Weiner and Pelosi do more harm to the Dems by uniting Conservatives and Independants with the constant repeating of talking points, the constant putdown of Republicans. Instigates class warfare.I can see you’re part of the minion.  If you watch her once you can replay the same shit in your head the next 10 times you see her. 80% of Florida hates her and my guess is more than 80% of the rest of the country can’t stand her. BTW she couldn’t be bothered to help her district with the Chinese Drywall problem.

    FIRST, Schultz has a long history of throwing bombs at any Republican.  She also has a history of insulting Mr. West.  Then she uses her “femaleness” to deflect those who rightfully respond.
    SECOND, both houses of Congress have a rule that you do not attack another member by “name”.  The word “name” includes direct reference to a specific individual, which she clearly did.

    SUMMARIZING:  Wasserman-Schultz deserved everything she got.  She is the closest thing to a female Keith Olbermann.

    She said, “I am surprised at that the congressman from Florida would vote for a bill that cuts medicare when many of his consituents are elderly.”

    He said, “Wasserman shultz is no lady, she is vile and a coward.”
    There is a vast difference between these two statements. One is a critique of policy and his support of a bill. He is insulting her person and character. He could have criticized her suppot of no cuts to these programs but instead he insults her.

    This is similar to having a debate and scoring a point and your opponent then saying, Oh, yeh, well you stink.” Completely irrelevant to the details of the discussion.

    I remember West from a NYT article in 2004 that was written shortly after he was removed from duty.  I honestly see a man who is loyal and is set on doing what he believes is right.  However, it is abundantly clear, from this event as well as the interrogation incident, that he has some anger issues.

  • Anonymous

    A very common argumentation/debate tactic is to return the onus back to your opponent.  Wasserman-Schultz’s ugly and clumsy speech, denigrated both West and Conservatives in general.

    West and the Conservatives had, pretty much, two options: 1.) Take the assumed moral high ground and move on.  Unfortunately, such an action would be all to reminiscent of much of America’s foreign policy since the end of the Vietnam War.  2.) Be pro-active and take advantage of the Socialist’s faux pas, because, she and her compatriots have it coming.  Also, the old adage: “a good defense is the best offense!”  LOL

    However, the combatants, ALL combatants must remember, there are always variables that play a part in any battle or war.  In a real battle, weather plays that kind of consideration.  Moreover, in this “battle” for the hearts and minds, the big variable is the Media, particularly the Main Stream media.

    Unfortunately, for Colonel West, I don’t think he expected Bill O’Reilly to, metaphorically, “rain on his parade.” Or, again, metaphorically, Stab West, in the back!

    These Democrat Socialist Progressives have always been the political party of the Slave Owner.

    The Tea Party is the American underground Railroad.Let’s all remember in disgust the dirty little history of the Racist Liberals in America.  All these Racist Democrats do is talk about race.

    Right or wrong, Wasserman stuck to the business of the day.  She spoke to his policy beliefs as she saw it.  She did not attack this man personally.  He left the congressional floor, got his little self on his computer and sent her an email…which tells me that this man was angered by Wasserman’s statements.  He didn’t let it go.  And then later he lashed out at her…using one of the most uncivilized methods of communicating – name-calling.  I’d expect something like this from some teenage girl.
    Maybe he should have spoken to his daughters and asked them how he should have handled his anger.
    BTW, Wasserman Schultz was NOT lying when she said that West’s position on Medicare would hurt seniors.  I am a senior, and I understand the negative repercussions that the republicans plan would cause for my husband and me. I can not, in fairness, let you continue spreading this without calling you on it.

    Apparently you think that anyone who attacks a woman is a sexist.  You’ll have to find a way to live with that.  It appears to me YOU may be the sexist here.  It also appears  you are unaware of Ms. W-S previous comments & activities.  If you’re a hard core progressive, you probably like them.  To me she is just a despicable person who happens to be a woman.

    PS:  I have NEVER met a married woman with a hyphenated last name who, when asked, didn’t REGRET her decision.

    “Apparently you think that anyone who attacks a woman is a sexist.”

    No, I don’t.  I think people who expect a woman to live up to what they think a woman SHOULD be are sexist.

    “It appears to me YOU may be the sexist here.”

    It’s hard for me to take such a character judgment seriously from the guy who said this:

    “Never trust a woman with a hyphenated last name.  I know half a dozen,
    and every one regrets their decision.  Take his name, keep your name,
    but hyphens are for indecisive, uncommitted, emotionally dangerous
    women.”"

    No, Steve, women hyphenate their name because, in the same way your last name is part your your identity, so is theirs.  There are numerous women who would like to keep that part of themselves, my wife being one of them.

    “PS:  I have NEVER met a married woman with a hyphenated last name who, when asked, didn’t REGRET her decision.”

    Because all of the women you know are representative of all women in the world, ever.  Don’t make me laugh.  And if they regret their decision, what is keeping them from changing their name back to their maiden name or to her husband’s name?  Names are not set in stone, you know.
