There are no dots to connect your claims of fascism is a baseless attempt to project your own agendas fascism onto peace loving people.
WTFU, you are being left behind as the majority of other good americans are coming up to their sense on how they have been scammed.

Coit Tower? Coit Tower? Is O'Reilly drunk? Does he even know what Coit Tower is? Nobody lives in Coit Tower, nobody works in or at Coit tower. It's a small monument to the Firefighters who fought the fires that occured after the 1906 SF earthquake. I'm pretty sure 99% of the world has no idea what or where Coit Tower is. I know he was just ranting and trying to make some kind of point... but Coit Tower? Perhaps the Golden Gate Bridge? Maybe the TransAmerica Pyramid Building? Perhaps the San Francisco Bay Bridge? Hell maybe even the St Francis Hotel... but Coit Tower? LOL.

I think Coit Tower is most famous nowdays for the wild parrots that live in the trees around it.

(That are endangered becasue they are being cut down), If you go inside there are many murals of working class San Franciscans and cowboys of CA etc..

It is not all that famous at all, nor is Union Square a place where locals gather as it is the tourist shopping area.

Personally I think even the loud squaking parrots of coit tower should crap right on big mouth oriellys head.

(See The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill trailer here)

Its a great modern small budget movie.

Of course if California became its own country the remaining US would have to pay more taxes since California is one of the biggest donor states to the money grubbing Red states.

Fascist? How did you come up with that?

A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism."--American Heritage Dictionary
It's so ironic: When, in a democratic election (the antithesis of what happens in a dictatorship), the people (not a fascist dictator) vote for non-belligerent, non-nationalistic policies (the precise opposite of the belligerent, nationalist policies that would be forced on the people in a fascist state), the righties here on AT (and I'm sure they're representative of the greater right-wing "brain" trust) say that's fascism.

Given this transposition of reality and fantasy by the right, is it any wonder that these same defective intellects see convincing evidence in support of Intelligent Design, in support of the notion that homosexuality is a psychological "problem" that can be "cured", against the notion that greenhouse gasses and CFCs emitted into the atomsphere by human activity are a significant cause of climate change and ozone depletion, and against the notion that needle-exchange programs significantly reduce the incidence of new AIDS infections in IV drug users.

Right is wrong. Wrong is right Good is bad. Bad is good. Big brother is protecting your liberties.

You become what you resist.

I lived at Grant & Union for years and I know the parrots of which you speak. Very funny. A friend on mine actually got attacked (well a mini attack) by those parrots. He was climbing around in the thicket of trees that surround the Coit Tower parking area and the parrots tried to nip him. :)

Wild parrots can be kinda testy if they think you are coming in to jack their berries heh

I almost got nipped climbing up a tree for a exellent shot of the city from up on the hill.

Check out the movie about them, its actually really good even though the subject matter seems weird.

They're no longer Americans, they are San Fransisians with no regard to the Constitution.

Had to make it's own thread for this eh?

Why all of a sudden do you care about the Gay's??? :confused:

hahaha he was speaking of treason being a executable offense and of course stated that literal execution of the president is not what he meant. that is really pathetic.

But then treason IS an executable offense and there is nothing wrong with pointing it out. He even clarified this point in almost the same sentence.

Unlike oreally who called for the bombing of an american city and even reaffirmed his stance today on the radio saying "SF hurts america"

Franken = Stating a american LAW

O'Really = Calling for terrorism on a american city

No comparison except to partisan hacks like you desperatly clinging to your hate.

If o reilley was muslim he would be under serious investigation, but then why would the right-wing terrorists prosecute one of their own.

Well, since we're arguing semantics here, where exactly did O'Reilly *call for* the bombing of SF? He said it should be ripe for the picking, but he didn't invite AQ to bomb SF.

I'm sorry - do you know me? I surely don't know you. I'd appreciate the same courtesy I'm extending to you - not generalizing somebody you don't know.

every other place in America is off limits to you except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.

Ripe for the picking is nowhere in there, looks like you are either lying or making something up here.

I may not "know" you but your character is being shown fast.

You are doing nothing less then defending a call out to aq to bomb a american city.

Should I take him any more serious because I havent heard him say that yet?

No, but I would think O'Reilly is more of a threat to US citizens.

Where does he say "Please come blow this up?" Are you making that up, or are you a liar?

Please - you label me based on evidence you disagree with, and then you attempt to define *my* character? That's sad. Just sad.

Are you are playing stupid here?or if it just natural for you?

This is not even the first time he has willed things like this on places that do not fit his agenda.

Allowing is not the same as requesting.

What's with the insults? Typically, people turn to insults when they have nothing else to offer.

edit: or if they are trolls

Beause you are doing nothing less then "playing stupid" or support his agenda of a terrorist attack on the US.

It is nothing less then stupid to support terrorism in america, and here you sit looking it right in the face.

I am sure OBL would pat you on the back for your complacency.

But then what aspect of the right wing agenda has done anything but support the rise of terrorism in the world, I should expect no less.

Have a crap day and thanks for backing up a terrorist threat fellow "american"

If you can't defend your statements, I guess you might as well change the argument.

Do you understand the concept of predicate clauses:

"Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead," O'Reilly went on.

He's saying that if San Fran wants to secede from the union and establish itself as its own country (his reasoning being that they are already currently rejecting many US tenets, so why not extend this to the extreme end of the spectrum,) he would not be supportive (were he the PotUS) of any attempt to continue to defend this newly-established country, should they become the target of a terrorist attack. He's not actually inviting or calling for an attack on the current city.

No, this certainly doesn't make O'Reilly any less of an asshat blowhard, but your ability to twist and distort the interpretation of select quotes rivals that of the man himself. Good job! :roll:

Besides, I thought you were a huge proponent of free speech? Even if he was saying that San Fran should be attacked, as despicable as that would be, do you not feel that is one of his basic rights as a American citizen? I mean, you've said that it is ok for rioting mobs to burn down buildings and hurl bricks at vehicles, as they are merely exercising their right to express their anger at oppression. Do you feel race, economic status, or political affiliation should be a determining factor in what is allowable and what is not?

Why do people defend O'Reilly? I would think that he represents the kind of person I would think the Republicans would want to take a big step away from. Not because they disagree with him so much as that he's a jackass. He's the kind of guy that, I would imagine, one day Republican voters are going to look at and wonder if they really want to be listening to these people.

Link?

Last time I checked, Al Franken is a comedian, Bill O'Reilly is not. Look at the context of Franken's comment, it seems clear to me that's he's joking. More Daily Show than "The Factor". Bill O'Reilly, on the other hand, seems to be holding back his rage every time he talks. My guess is that he was very serious.
