Bill O'Reilly episode 9 February 2011 - Introduction

Americans are turning against Obamacare, says O'Reilly. Sick people turning up at hospital who don't want to be bankrupted are not competitive under the proposed laws - which O'Reilly wants repealed, not changed. Obviously. Waka waka a Florida judge last week ruled Obamacare unconstitutional last week - a fact that O'Reilly must repeat every day. It is going to the Supreme Court which will decide anyway.

There are two guests in the studio who keep interrupting each other. They think they are being hilarious but I don't know what the hell is going on.

AP GFK poll says 40% of Americans in favour of Obamacare and 41% against which in-studio guest says is a better poll than O'Reilly's Rasmussen poll. That looks pretty even to me. At around a 2% margin of error, that could go between 39%-41% for or 39% to 42% against.

O'Reilly and the woman who is an in-studio guest (someone whose name I should know - journo on radio - apologies) are debating whether people hate Obama or his policies. She says that the left HATED Bush but the righties at the moment only dislike Obama's policies - idiot woman. O'Reilly correctly says that a lot of people hate Obama.

Next up - a civil organisation called Planned Parenthood is in kak for trying to cover up underage sex.

Bill O'Reilly episode 1 February 2011 - Introduction

We've got Glen Beck on to chit chat about Egypt later on. Seriously... yeugh. Really, Bill? Is he a foreign policy expert?

A federal judge declares Obamacare unconstitutional. So we've had some for and some against. The aspect declared illegal is the point that Americans have to buy health care by 2014. That's two judges who have said it IS unconstitutional and two who have said it ISN'T. O'Reilly says it will go to the Supreme Court. O'Reilly reckons Obamacare will lose in the Supreme Court 5-4.

Instead of changing that aspect of the bill, O'Reilly wants people who are rushed to hospital to remain in debt for ever or be refused treatment.

This is the same shit we've been hearing forever. Let's get onto Beck and Egypt. Let me get my vomit bucket first, though.

Bill O'Reilly episode 20 Jan 2011 - Obamacare

Obamacare (O'Reilly's favourite drum he likes to bang) is being debated... O'Reilly with Karl Rove.

Rove just spat out a whole lot of stats in the 40%-49% of a whole lot of crap being against something like free healthcare. In my book that's less than half. O'Reilly did mention that there is often an undecided portion of a poll vote but we got no inkling as to what proportion that was.

O'Reilly is right on one note. Steve Cohen, a Democrat from Tennessee, said in the House that Republicans are Nazis (indirectly). What a stupid comparison. Rove says that Cohen should be ashamed of himself. I hate agreeing with Rove.
