Bill O'Reilly unleashed one of his patented vicious attacks last night on the ACLU, blaming them for fighting to have photos of detainees being abused by American soldiers released to the public:

O'Reilly: Now, last night we told you that the New York Times and other committed-left media want the pictures out so they can blame them on President Bush and the Republican Party. It is a pure political play. But the ACLU is a different story. That vile organization believes the USA is a bad place, desperately in need of an overhaul. The ACLU sympathizes with the New York Times but takes the situation much farther.

...

I believe the ACLU is the most dangerous anti-American organization in the country. And if clear-thinking Americans do not confront this group, and their members, and their support system in the media, people will die.

Gee, this all has a familiar ring to it. Back when the ACLU was the only organization to take up the legal cause of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, the jingoistic Bill O'Reillys of the day similarly attacked them for ostensibly hating America and siding with the enemy.

Pauling door_9e677.JPG

This was the graffiti painted on Linus Pauling's garage door in San Francisco after he hired a Japanese gardener after the internment camps closed. Pauling's wife was an ACLU activist who had been vocal in opposing their forced evacuation and internment, while Pauling himself had been a "center right" Republican up until the jingoes attacked him and his wife in 1945. It included death threats.

Now, can O'Reilly produce a single shred of evidence -- any document, statement, speech, photo, whatever -- that the ACLU "believes America is a bad place, desperately in need of an overhaul"? No. He's talking out of his rear quarters, as usual.

Mostly, O'Reilly wants us all to forget that clear and irrevocable object lesson of this controversy: Torture makes us less safe.

It's not the photos themselves that have made us vulnerable, but the policies that enabled the acts captured on film:

What's clearly never occurred to O'Reilly is the reality that what he's looking at is one of the very pragmatic and practical reasons American forces have historically eschewed torture: Indulging it not only gives our enemies a rationale to employ it on our own soldiers when captured, but in fact motivates them to capture our soldiers solely for the purpose of retaliatory torture.

I guess Falafel Boy doesn't consider any of the groups listed by Southern Poverty Law Center to be dangerous hate groups.

Of course, he's a rich cracker so he would think that.

Now, can O'Reilly produce a single shred of evidence -- any document, statement, speech, photo, whatever -- that the ACLU "believes America is a bad place, desperately in need of an overhaul"?

evidence? proof? that isn't o'reilly's thing. not his bag, nor his MO. making him the perfect posterchild for the failure of establishment media.

Listen carefully. O'Reilly doesn't produce a single direct quote or cite a single source during this entire rant. It's entirely his twisted interpretation of things. That's what he does.

O'Reilly can't spell ACLU.

I fully expect the O'Reilly factor to show footage of prominent civil libertarians driving hybrids made by Mitsubishi, Honda, and Toyota.

dangerous? the aclu? there's nothing more dangerous to the country than the defense of our civil rights, bwahahaha. the rightwing is being led by the most cowardly pussies on the face of the planet. none more so than this goebbels in diapers.

i guess that means that o'reilly prefers NAMBLA and the KKK?

wow, i think it is time to increase my ACLU donation.

teammarty's picture

In O'Reilly's case, that would be VAMBLA.

ricky's picture

O Reilly said "most dangerous anti-American organization in the country." NAMBLA is continental, as its name implies, which means it is in other countries. The Kluxers are merely anti-Negro, anti-Jewish, and anti-Catholic. Thus they are pro-American.

He never said they were not dangerous.

Bill, torture is illegal and the ACLU is protecting OUR rights by persuing this. After all, who would have thought the NSA could or would listen in on our phone calls or the phone calls of troops in Iraq talking to their wives, husbands or children? I mean, I did, the ACLU did. Bill, would you torture someone if there was the proverbial ticking time-bomb? If you answer YES, well then, you are entitled to stay at the luxurious Leavenworth Hotel for the rest of your life. And don't tell me you wouldn't be first on line at the ACLU headquarters if you felt like your rights had been savaged by a dictatorship similar to the W crime family.

What a dumb, racist bastard. My dad was a Chicago cop for thirty two years, and he always taught us that racial profiling alienates innocent minorities whom law enforcers will ultimately need to solve crimes. Part of the "No Snitching" attitude in minority communities is due to the tremendous hatred and total lack of respect many policemen/and inner city criminal justice systems have earned.

Bill O'Reilly is as knowledgable on race matters as your average 8th grade educated red neck from Alabama.

Hating America?

Quote:
New York City is now largely safe because of aggressive policing. Thousands of lives have been saved.

Quote:
Study; 69 % of NYC violent crime victims describe their assailants as black. 5 % white.

Then the misrepresentation ..

Quote: The ACLU thinks society causes some blacks to be violent. It's the country's fault, not the perp's fault.

Assuming that morality is not hereditary, what are we to assume about society? It could not be anything other than that society makes the criminal, no?

And in addition: Is this the fault of your country?

Depends on what you put into the phrase "country". If it can be traced back to nationwide agreed policy then, yes it is the fault of the inhabitants of your country. If you narrow it down to politically motivated policy stemming from ideological beliefs then it is the fault of illogical belief systems imposed on you.

Assuming that morality is not inherited, every country on the planet should use statistics just like this to adjust policy. What else is there to do?

If you believe in the freedoms and liberties that have been the foundation of this country for over 200 years, now is a crucial time to support the ACLU that has been defending our rights in and out of court since 1920. The type of lawlessness surrounding not only the acts of torture but it is a cancer that is poisioning our government and destroying the people's faith in government.

Remember, it is very easy to give away our rights; it is extremely difficult to win them back. I will side with a group that is dedicated to protecting the Constitution any day.

... that the ACLU doesn't actually do any of what O'Reilly objects to. They do not release pictures, they ask the courts to decide on whether they should be released or not. Then if justified, the courts will order them released.

It is the courts who decide, not the ACLU.

The ACLU wants to prevent the trashing of Constitutional rights and civil liberties and to help uphold our own precedents for the proper treatment of prisoners of war. AND THEY'RE UN-AMERICAN?

And O'Reilly wants to uphold the rights of the State to torture whomever it pleases, to deny people's rights (even to a trial), to make our soldiers less safe by setting the precedent that America is lawless and torture is okay, essentially to fight freedom. And HE'S NOT UN-AMERICAN?

If he's a patriot, a true American, I want nothing to do with America, because it stands for nothing I was taught to believe in.

"I believe the ACLU is the most dangerous anti-American organization in the country. And if clear-thinking Americans do not confront this group, and their members, and their support system in the media, people will die."

Bill just placed a fatwah on the heads of ACLU members. By saying: "if clear-thinking Americans do not confront this group, and their members, and their support system in the media, people will die", what he really means is: if your head is not straight and think that the ACLU will take this country and turn it into Dantes' hells (all of them), pick up your weapon and dispense of some of this America-haters. Oh, the doublespeak. Don't take everything these "journalists" spout out of their mouths at face value. Listen, look between the lines to see the real meaning of what they're feeding their followers. It's a matter of time before some "clear-thinking" American grabs a gun and goes down to the nearest anti-american activities office and starts spraying the place down. Then watch Bill say: "You say this is my fault, how dare you?...prove it". After that the yelling and screaming starts. He'll turn red-faced and call bloggers anti-american and...well, wash, rinse and repeat.

A fascist warning us to beware of people who disagree with him? You can't make this shit up.

On another note: O'Reilly's almost bald, O'Reilly's almost bald.......


If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
