Joel, HONEY, I just came across your response to my comment.
The first thing that I have to say is that for you to suggest that folks who demand a serious investigation of this travesty should by ridiculed and marginalized shows me that you probably possess neither the desire or skill to take on such serious questions. In this country, we do not just decide to marginalize and ridicule fellow Americans for asking for an investigation into such pertinent and hugely influential matters., especially when they are asking in concert with many who have done their own investigating, like, what is it, six members of the Official Commission.
We do not need to insult each other over a simple quest to find the truth. That is wholly what we are actually to ask for as citizens priviledged to have been born American.
If you are thusly an American citizen, then you should respect the basic right to free speach and also a right to question any “official” story. Our Founding Fathers wanted us to be more, to be willing to be truly informed and to welcome a robust debate. Asking questions is not un-American or simple minded. It is actually the essence of democracy.
So, I challenge you to watch “Loose Change” one more time, and then come back and talk real issues. Blessings.

Dear Mr. Goldberg:”For What’s It’s Worth” Thank you for your analogies. You are insightful and thought provoking. That said I want for nothing. While all the roosters and hens are in the barnyard participating in poultry activities, you sir, have maintained your edge and dignity. I’m sure you’ve been cannon fodder for some rags + hacks, but you never seem to loose your wits or integrity.
I think the reason for the media free for all is the number of media outlets. Compare it to the watered down pitching in MLB due to expansion. We went from 3 local + network feeds to several. Teletype was AP + UPI. I always liked Mr. Cosell”s hook “Tell it Like it Is”, bad toup and all. Never thought you had to sell your soul for a scoop. Guess you actually have to owne a soul to be able to sell one.
Same goes for radio. Top 40 jocks are wearing pancake and hollering about politics. I like some of their passion,but find most of them over the top and theatrical. Going for and falling far short of ,Orson Wells,”War of the Worlds”live broadcast. The independent 25yr old filmmaker and a convincing actress scooped the media complex on Acorn. I Loved It! It’s like the old bait and switch and 3 card montie spawned.
How about the “Late Nite Debacle”. Yea like an affair with a staffer is a new concept. Ethics are involved, but two consenting adults having an affair, Stop The Presses. What about the producer? Maybe we should all fire off a resume to ,Worldwide Pants, before they hire Polanski, provided we aren’t required to “Take One For The Team”. Best Regards, Anthony Ferreira

Mr Goldberg was on Oreilly last week, and talked negatively of an unnamed Fox host who he claimed told lies and pretended to be a journalist and how bad this was. Well Bernie, why are you so infatic that commentators state whether they are a journalist or not?? There are millions of them that work for the Main Stream media, who tell lie after lie every day, they are the people who are suppposed to get the real story for the people, but in their failure the rise of conservative commentators seems to be the only ones in media who are looking for the truth and the crooked ties between Obama and his cohorts. I dont see any journalist at CBS,NBC ABS reporting the Obama ties, so give me a break with your comments

I don’t listen to Rush so I can’t speak to your criticism of him but I do listen to Bill O. You obviously don’t. Otherwise you would get your facts straight. Listen to the man if you want to criticize him – not some pieced together clip from a competing news source. That’s just good advice for both Left and Right.

I LOVE it!!! “My point is that I don’t hate anyone, what I hate is the uninformed people….” she doesn’t hate anyone….. LOL
By the way, have you ever looked at the hate speech that comes out of the left wing. The hate that comes out of the fringes of the right wing can’t even match that hate that comes from the ordinary left wing….

THAT WELL CHOREOGRAPHED SCENE BETWEEN GOLDBERG AND O’REILLY WAS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD. NOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS HAVE SHOWN THEIR DISLIKE OF FOX
POX, BERNIE SAYS A FEW DISINGENUOUS THROW-BECK-UNDER-THE-BUS COMMENTS, THEN PARRYS THROUGH IN TIME TO TELL O’REILLY THAT HE IS NOT LIKE THAT. BILL FEIGNS SURPRISE, BECAUSE IT’S JUST LIKE “EDITORIALS”, “EARTH DAY”, AND “PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT”,SO WHY ARE PEOPLE UPSET. THIS RANKS RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE BODY LANGUAGE “EXPERT” WHO TELLS O’REILLY WHAT PEOPLE REALLY MEAN, ROUGHLY TRANSLATED: DEMOCRATS, BAD. REPUBLICANS GOOD. THEN REASSURES BILL THAT HE NEVER USES BAD BODY LANGUAGE. WOW, I DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING. DO THOSE STEAMING PILES OF FODDER EVER STOP? EARTH DAY, AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT, DO NOT CALL THE PRESIDENT A RACIST, DO NOT ENCOURAGE VIEWERS TO SUBBORN TREASON BY OVERTHROWING THE GOVERNMENT, DO NOT RACE BAIT, AND DO NOT USE LIES AND INNUENDO TO FRIGHTEN THE CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY. WE HAVE FOX NEWS, RUSH, AND DOBBS TO DO THAT FOR US! YOU CAN ONLY LISTEN TO NEGATIVE HATE SPEECH FOR SO LONG, THEN YOU TUNE IT OUT! CYA ALL YOU CAN BECAUSE THE MAJORITY HAS HAD IT WITH PIN HEADS LIKE YOU, LOOFAH BOY!

What happened to the reporting of the NYT? I remember as a young french girl when we entertained NYT reporters and others in our home. My older sister dated one of them . They were our heroes and better than the French newspapers related what had happened since D-Day. They listened to my father who shared with them what life had been under the German occupation (we had a camp across from where we lived) to the average person,. The nightly bombings ,the shortages , the constant fear . Little did I know that years later, living in Manhattan ,I would be reading read the newspaper every week end and working closely for a then famous man, Bernard Baruch. We would do the crossword puzzles together. Where did this, one time the best newspaper, lose its way?…

Bernard:
Thanks to you, I’ve been able to refute the liberals I see every Saturday morning at the local coffee shop. An ex-Marine who claims to be an independent said George W. didn’t “volunteer” for Viet Nam.
It’s also a pleasure to read so many thoughtful comments. Apparently the liberals who search blogs to attack conservatives haven’t discovered you yet. Or… the arguments posted are so irrefutable, they are left speechless.
Bravo to you.

Again, to all you who have those special sensations running up and down your leg or legs whenever you see or hear Barrack Obama; IT’S NOT about the color of his skin, IT’S ABOUT THE CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER!!!!!

LISTEN to what he says, listen to what he doesn’t say, hold him accountable, keep him honest, who DOES he surround himself with, who HAS he surrounded himself with?

MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL (Listen up MSNBC),
PRETEND
HE
IS
white
and a moderate!!!!

If he were applying for any federal job requiring a security clearanc such as a military officer, an agent for Secret Service, CIA, FBI or any job with the Justice Department, could he, even with all his education, obtain a Secret clearance? I think not!

Could he obtain a Top Secret or Crypto clearance? Absolutely not!!!!

This isn’t about race (as White bitch whines) it’s about content; the content of policies, bills, the content of intentions, and the content of this man’s character. To say that any criticism of Barack Obama’s policies is racist, is itself stupid and racist. The man was elected president!

On the subject of Van Jones, I give you the former mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown:

“The only question I have about Van Jones’ resignation as the White House green czar is why didn’t they call me before they hired him. You would think that, as part of the vetting process, they would have called the mayor of the city where he was from.

I would have said, “Yeah, I know a lot about him. He’s really a pain in the ass. When he ran Bay Area PoliceWatch, he slanted every case to make the cops look as bad as possible. And while he might be talented enough, he’s totally and completely unreliable.”"

Bernie, I’m just thinking about how they wanted to pass this healthcare bill in August and there wasn’t even a bill yet. I think they want to pass a bill and figure out the details later and this is so dishonest. We deserve better representation. I am so afraid they will add 300 pages to this bill at 3:00 in the morning just like the cap and trade bill. It’s not just about our money anymore; it’s a matter of life and death, our health and our freedom. Can you explain why access to all our financial information and private medical records will be in this bill? What about our right to privacy?

By: mvale

mvale — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 02:02:01 +0000

Bernie, I’m trying to think of a way to improve our healthcare without a big government takeover. I’m just hearing that this healthcare bill will add over 50 new government agencies. Tell me it isn’t so. And it’s suppose to save us money? Why don’t we just use the low income people’s tax rebate and buy them some health insurance? Thanks for all your comments on O’Reilly. I really enjoy the show when you are on it.
PS When are you going to discuss the billions we are giving Brazil for off shore drilling while we won’t explore for our own oil?

Hi Bernie, Love listening to you. You are so right. I will never again refer to MSNBC,CNN,ABC,CBS as the “mainstream media”. If you flip back and forth between FOX and the others, it`s like polar opposites. It`s either one is either really lying or telling the truth. But it is clear that FOX News just makes common sense, but the others ,I cannot understand, do they actually believe what they say to be the truth. But it`s all in the lanuage. One I hate the most is Obama`s “overseas contingency operations”. Contingency meaning, a possible or unforseen or accidental occurence. No, call it what it is, A WAR on Terror. Our soldiers are not putting their lives on the line for a possible accidental occurence! How do people get away with that ridiculous lanuage? Why is the CIA going to be prosecuted for three cases of waterboarding of terrorists hell bent on destroying us? Does Obama think AlQaeda to be more of a threat than our own CIA. It`s insanity. Sincerely, Rosa;ie Dill

Hey White Bitch: Mrs. Pelosi, is that you?

By: White bitch

White bitch — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 01:16:29 +0000

Actually the people you listen to on a regular basis needs psychiatric treatment. Glenn Beck, Bernard Goldberg, all of FOX news employees, all of them! If you really look into and do research on one topic that they discuss you will find discrpancies in the stories. They misinform and have people believing this stuff. You wouldn’t buy swamp land from Florida would you? No. Use the same analysis. If you can’t find anything to discredit a story that they report, you seek help.

By: White bitch

White bitch — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 01:10:26 +0000

My point is to do your research and not be a follower. If you can’t read and understand what is in a bill or policy, ask someone who is neutral and can explain it to you in laymans terms. None of this is about Obama’s policies, it because he is an African-American President and some of us white (some ) people just can’t handle this. I can. Anything is better than a government who spies on you and defies the constitution that guarantees us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Not somebody listening to my everyday phone calls or watching my every move. Make your legacy in life something to be remember by that your family or children and grandchildren will be proud of. Make a difference in this world that is not negative or ugly. That’s my point!!!

I know God loves me and you have a blessed day as well. Tell the people who are carrying the hate signs, the guns and spewing hate towards our President to clean up their language. Really try.

By: White bitch

White bitch — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 00:59:55 +0000

My point is that I don’t hate anyone, what I hate is the uninformed people who are causing a mass of uneasiness and unrest in this counrty and dividing it in a way that can be detrimental. My argument is for those of you who are not engaging in a civil debate regarding the issues, should look for specific legislation in the bills and focus on what’s really important for people in this country, not including the INSURANCE CEO’s who are making trillions of dollars ON the death of others. THAT IS MY POINT. Don’t use the fact that we have a very intelligent black man who is president of this country and we as white people should either accept it, or NOT ACCEPT IT BUT AT LEAST NOT CAUSE A RACE WAR IN THIS COUNTRY. THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ALL LEADING TO AND I DO NOT WANT MY CHILDREN TO DIE UNNECESSARILY BECAUSE SOME OF US WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACISTS.

By: White bitch

White bitch — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 00:38:00 +0000

My point exactly! It’s a shame that I had to resort to signing this blog as White Bitch and then spew the names that I did in order to get the attention from people like you to see how ridiculous it is to treat those who are not white like myself and you to notice what creates a world of hate. Get my drift?

By: White bitch

White bitch — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 00:34:35 +0000

No us white people are because we are the ones that are spreading the hate in this country for as long as its been in existence.

Hello Bernie – Please keep O’Reilly honest. Thanks for doing such a good job on your reporting.
As a senior citizen, I am appalled with the dictates of Obama’s czars, his ignoring
our constitution, and with every other socialistic aspect of his presidency. I now
live in Fairview but grew up in SC. I well remember how we changed the face of
politics many years ago, by electing a senator by a write in vote. Is it possible
to do that now? Keep up the good work.

There has to be something more to this widespread media silence. Is it possible there is a darker conspiracy to be discovered? It seems like there is a consensus that if they ignore all the stories that Fox or talk radio talk about, it will marginalize Fox and give all the rest of them more power. I can’t imagine that dead fish Rahm hasn’t had conversations about this.

By: ScottyDog

The word Czar is not found any where in the Constitution.

Barry Soetoro aka Obama is trying to re-write the Constitution by decree creating another branch of the Federal Government with no accountability or oversight by Congress.

I would like to know how these 37 Czars are being paid without legislation from Congress.

IMHO-This is not only unconstitutional but an impeachable offense by the Kenyan. May the impeachment proceedings begin.

BTW-Until I see Barry’s Birth Certificate and College records, I refuse to believe he is a natural born citizen. If that makes me a birther then I am proud to be one.
