| Bill O’Reilly brought on Bernard Goldberg tonight to take on the almost immediate politicization of last Friday’s tragic shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut. Both O’Reilly and Goldberg agreed that the liberal media was very quick to jumpstart the gun control debate, but Goldberg acknowledged there was a fair amount of politicization on the right from people who he said want assault weapons not because of the Second Amendment, but because of their paranoia over the government coming to take away their guns. (Snip) O’Reilly was amazed at how it “took minutes” for liberal pundits to direct

Comments: Goldberg´s criticism of conservatives was outrageous. What Huckabee said about taking God out of schools and society was absolutely correct. And his criticism of Rush (although not mentioned by name) who said you cannnot have a culture, a society where over a million babies are aborted every year and not have a dwindling respect for the sanctity of life. Goldberg was absolutely wrong. I don´t call that politicizing, I call those comments statement of facts.

O´Reilly, for his part, had no business putting a shell-shocked 9-year-old girl in front of Fox´s camera lens within hours of the event.

This tragedy was the worst reported that I have ever seen. All stations were disgusting in the way they handled this. I would expect this from the commi MSM, but was surprised how bad Fox has handled this also.

What SHOULD have been discussed on O´Reilly was this:
1. Why do liberals think we/they are entitled NOT to be harmed by evil? Are they special? If you think about it, this coincides with their "be nice to the terrorists and they won´t hurt us" beliefs. Or their belief that there is no such thing as evil.
2. Why do liberals and leftists want to emasculate America making us dependent/weak with no self defenses? TAKING OUR POWER AWAY IN EVERY WAY. And what about those who live in the concrete jungles of NYC and others? Have they lost their abilities to defend themselves and their families? I think they need to see the Jack Nicholson movie, "Wolf". And should cars and airplanes be regulated since they kill people?
3. Why are so many liberals quick to smear the entire country with the act of one mentally ill person?
4. And lastly, for O´Reilly: Did you not know about Lanza burning himself with a lighter?? Is this not true?

Not surprised that o´reilly was "amazed".
This simply reveals what seems to me to be his shallow approach to most subjects. This explains why he seems to have no firm moral core: he can vascillate easily from one side to the other.
Most events and trends in history are complex and irreducible to simple notions or solutions or diagnoses.
Why won´t people step back and take a breath? No-one has all the facts. "All" the facts may never be known. For one thing and most importantly we´ll never get into Lanza´s mind.
But look at his eyes: they´re the window to his soul ...perhaps. Vacant, wide, pleading, horror-struck.
The Dem/lefties do what they always do and that is to fan the flames of emotion, a lot of it irrational, and becoming tinged with anger and hostility.
We´d all better watch out. This community organizer, rabble-rouser, this POTUS who with incredible alacrity stirs up strife between races, ethnic groups, young and old, even playing the disgusting marxist "hate the rich" game, he is just fine with roiling emotions.
We don´t want to become what we despise.

The entire segment, Goldberg and Mr.O. was pure cow flop. The Facturd let Goldberg get away with saying everyone has taken advantage of the CT horror, not counting themselves, of course, but with no specifics. Pure cow flop.

Wrong, Goldberg. Another fool who talks about guns like he knows anything beyond the thousands of hours of media brainwashing on the subject. Try this for the ´truth,´ Bernie. If any gun is wrong, they are ALL wrong. You start with the supposition that a citizen with a clean record can´t be trusted with certain weapons that paranoid gun haters have suddenly decided are now too dangerous for any American to own. Except for people who they approve of, THOSE people can be armed with anything they want. We are either dangerous children or we are of equal standing with people like Feinstein and Schumer who carry whatever they want. Man up and get to the bottom line you poser.

The media and their reporting on mass shootings is 100% the cause for them all. Every one has to be worse tha the last in order to make the news. This last one even got the flag lowered to half mast, must be a hero to who ever ordered it lowered.

I watched the segnment. O´Really?´s monumental ignorance on the subject of guns was handily eclipsed by Bernie´s colossal ignorance. I´m still waiting for the Aurora"s report to confirm most of the killing was done by the shotgun, and I´m willing to bet the handguns were the culprit here.
Will somebody please drill it into O´Really?´s thick skull that semi-automatic means one bullet per trigger pull. Make him sit down and watch some reruns of Chuck Conners in The Rifleman TV series.

I haven´t watched any of this sickening coverage. The media went wall-to-wall with it, and did so regardless of whether they had accurate facts. I am sick of the wallowing in the grief and misery of the families. The media wonder how this happened, well, what is a future shooter to think when they see all this coverage over one sick person´s acts? Will they want this same fame?

Does it really matter what we here have to say about O´Reilly´s agenda when he has B. Goldberg as guest on a regularly scheduled basis? I don´t believe it is.
Carefully planned and taped for our "listening pleasure" is insulting and once again reminds us that we,the sheep,will bleat on schedule.
If FNC wanted the respect of the viewer,they would seek,somehow,to solicit opinions and Roger Ailes would/could address the mediocrity that that Channel has become.

Bernie has made the connection between the media´s bias and our ill informed public, but he hasn´t quite gotten to the part where he´s still ill informed and thinking with a leftist/collectivist mindset.
It´s been a while since he broke out with "Bias", so maybe the scales never will fall from his eyes. But we can always hope.

The FOX NEWS coverage has been just as bad as the other networks. Insinuations, gossip as the bass for whole segments. Gee, don´t let facts get in the way. The preachiness of most of the top anchors has been nauseating. Why grieving parents give ANY media ANYTHING is completely beyond me. Bernie and Bill were both disgusting in this segment. Bernie loves bashing conservatives.

The White House is circling the wagons as one of the most feverish periods of President Obama’s tenure enters its second week. Obama and his aides have taken a more aggressive stance in recent days after fumbling their initial response to headline-grabbing scandals at different government agencies. The administration’s strategy is centered on a simple defense: “Our basic thrust is that nobody, here, did anything wrong,” an Obama administration official told The Hill. “That’s why none of this is going to stick.” Even though there is no evidence yet of wrongdoing in the White House,

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg used a commencement speech to push his gun-control agenda, telling graduates of Kenyon College in Ohio that gun control is “something you really should think about.” Bloomberg, who co-chairs Mayors Against Illegal Guns, spent at least $14 million in support of legislation that would have required universal background checks for all gun-buyers. Although the bill died in the Senate on April 17, Bloomberg said the battle isn´t over. “I believe we will win, sooner or later, because I believe that all of you, your generation more than any other at least

Now that Hillary Clinton no longer has a nonpartisan badass day job, the universe is reverting back to its natural state in which Clinton is a controversial figure with a complicated past and more than a few enemies as well as the symbol of some people´s anxieties about women in power. The excuses to engage in the old Hillary Clinton narratives today come in the form of a biopic titled Rodham, which shows the former secretary of state´s early relationship with Bill Clinton in a not totally flattering light, and a report on her 2008 campaign aides by

Swamped in controversies, President Obama and his slow-footed team are essentially telling the American public, “We’re not crooked. We’re just incompetent.” The IRS targeting conservatives, the Justice Department snooping at The Associated Press, the State Department injecting politics into Benghazi, the military covering up sexual assaults, and the Department of Veterans Affairs leaving heroes in health care limbo – each of these so-called scandals share two traits. First, there is some element of “spin," the cynical art of telling just enough of the truth to avoid political embarrassment. Obfuscation and demagogy, the dirty tools of political quackery that

Delivering her only speech at a high school graduation this year, first lady Michelle Obama joked about the failures her husband, President Obama, has encountered in life as she told a graduating class of high school seniors in Nashville, Tenn. today that in order to achieve success in life, they must first experience failure. “When something doesn’t go your way, you’ve just got to adjust. You’ve got to dig deep and work like crazy, and that’s when you’ll find out what you’re really made of during those hard times, but you can only do that

Shortly before the second-term inauguration of Barack Obama this January, I wrote the following of my worries over the Obama way of doing business: But the untruths and hypocrisy hover in the partisan atmosphere and incrementally and insidiously undermine each new assertion that we hear from the president — some of them perhaps necessary and logical. Indeed, the more emphatically he adds “make no mistake about it,” “let me be perfectly clear,” “I’m not kidding,” or the ubiquitous “me,” “my,” and “I” to each new assertion, the more a growing number of people will come to know

The idea that Nancy Pelosi would again become Speaker after the 2014 elections was always something of a Democrat fantasy. It may be a good story to get a lefty to sleep at night, but it wasn´t likely to happen. In the last 100 years, only once has a President´s party picked up seats in the sixth year of a term. Redistricting in 2011 has put many of the seats the Democrats need out of reach. Whatever confluence of events Democrats envisioned would allow them to retake the House have been swept aside by the IRS scandal.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure
