Governor Mark Sanford Videos

On 6/25/09, Bill O Reilly had a Talking Points commentary which dealt with the celebrating the destruction of others. Of course, O Reilly is talking about the news covering South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford s debacle.  Celebration?  I don t think so.  I haven t seen any evidence of celebration.  Not in the mainstream media.  I haven t seen it on any of the major liberal blogs either.  It isn t that Mark Sanford hasn t given many critics adequate ammunition.  That s not the problem.  The problem is Governor Sanford s complete inability to come up with a coherent story and stick with it.  His story has been evolving ever since we first thought he was missing two weeks ago.  We don t need to celebrate.  When a political rivel is stabbing himself multiple times, all you need to do is get out of the way. Bill O Reilly states, as fact, the left has been especially vicious of late.   He gives us no information or data to support this wild allegation.  This is a Bill O Reilly trademark. He then compares the wild left celebration to the restrained coverage of the John Edwards affair.  Of course, he doesn t mention that John Edwards had already dropped out of the presidential race.  His presidential bid was in the toilet when the story broke.  John Edwards was holding no public office.  Finally, the fact that John Edwards had a extramarital affair with a woman, did not fit with the frame that the conservatives were painting John Edwards as a closet homosexual. Remember Ann Coulter s disgusting refrain? Again, Bill O Reilly then gives this sweeping statement Fox news did not celebrate or dwell on the Edwards affair.  Really?  Where is the data to support this?  How do you define dwell?  A simple search of the Fox news website, using Google,  reveals 1940 references to John Edwards and Affair.  So what do you think maybe a thousand of them are real and pertinent? Bill O Reilly, who regularly likes to attack even the New York Times or the Washington Post, on this particular occasion chooses the Post.  (The Washington Post has plenty of problems of its own. It was revealed that the Post was selling access to its Op-Ed columnists and reporters. That can t be good for unbiased journalism.) Bill O Reilly chose to single out Eugene Robinson who is a Pulitzer prize-winning columnist.  Instead of playing Eugene s video clip in which he and Keith Olbermann were talking about Eugene s unique qualifications to talk about this particular situation (the fact that Mr. Robinson had lived in Argentina while he covered South America and grew up in South Carolina).  Eugene Robinson was clearly joking when he said that he was grateful to the governor for doing this.   This was a quote that was clearly taken out of context and Bill O Reilly doesn t seem care.  (See the video below and decide for yourself) Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Bill O Reilly then singles out several other people to prove his case that the far left was celebrating.  By the way, where is the far left?  Is the far left people who believe that the government should not decide who can and cannot marry whom (outside of medical restrictions)?  Is the far left people who believe the government shouldn t torture and should not have invaded Iraq?  If this is the far left then more than 50% of this country is far left. Anyway, he eventually winds his way around to attacking Christine Pelosi, the daughter of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, she is a filmmaker and outspoken critic of many conservative policies that we ve seen over the last 8-20 years.  Somehow, Pelosi mentioning the hypocrisy that many of these family values Republicans have shown to the American people is un-American in Bill O Reilly s book.  Somehow, criticism, without name calling (pinhead, moron, baby killer, etc.) has become un-American and vicious. Bill O Reilly concludes his incoherent rambling by comparing those who reported Mark Sanford s adultery and subsequent lies to Muslims who believe in stoning criminals.  He says, apparently some in the USA believe in stoning as well, only with words.   Maybe I need to go back to college but that doesn t seem to make any sense.  When you stone somebody you kill them.  Valid criticism is somehow equated to stoning or a death sentence?  I don t understand.  Then again, after listening to several of Bill O Reilly s Talking Points Commentary I m usually more confused at the end than I was at the beginning.
