The Further Fictional Adventures of Bill O'Reilly

Falklands Drama: Cornered Narcissist Bill O'Reilly Lashes Out

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the media casts a spotlight on his fake journalistic endeavors, Bill O'Reilly is becoming more and more unhinged. Last week he threatened to send David Corn of Mother Jones to a "Kill Zone," and this week he made threats against a writer for the New York Times.

He's a classic loud-mouth bully who can dish it out but can't take it, thin-skinned and violent. And why is he so defensive? Because he has been caught lying over and over again and there's no way out.

From New York Times
Mr. O’Reilly’s efforts to refute the claims by Mother Jones and some former CBS News colleagues occurred both on the air and off on Monday. During a phone conversation, he told a reporter for The New York Times that there would be repercussions if he felt any of the reporter’s coverage was inappropriate. “I am coming after you with everything I have,” Mr. O’Reilly said. “You can take it as a threat.”






"(O'Reilly is) the biggest Kahuna in all of cable news - a man who at any other news network would be in a fight for his professional life right now, but so far for him apparently no consequences."
~ Rachel Maddow






Statement from Fox News:

But reporters are not backing down. If anything, they are digging deeper into O'Reilly's mountain of lies.

The Guardian is investigating O'Reilly's coverage of the Los Angeles Riots in the 1990s when he worked for Inside Edition.

From Talking Points Memo
Six former co-workers disputed O'Reilly's tale of being bombarded with concrete and bricks by rioters while covering the 1992 unrest in Los Angeles, according to the Guardian.

“They were throwing bricks and stones at us,” O’Reilly told an online interviewer in 2006, according to the Guardian.
“Concrete was raining down on us. The cops saved our butts that time," O'Reilly added.
O'Reilly repeated the story to conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt this month.
“We were attacked, we were attacked by protesters, where bricks were thrown at us,” he told Hewitt, the Guardian reported.

“It didn’t happen,” one colleague from "Inside Edition" told the paper. “If it did, how come none of the rest of us remember it?”

. . .

Hunter Walker of Business Insider points out that O'Reilly's "heroic" version of himself in Buenos Aires saving a cameraman in a combat zone during the Falklands War was included in a novel written by O'Reilly called "Those Who Trespass." When Art Imitates Ego! However, it is mostly fiction:

From Business Insider
In O'Reilly's novel the protest was broken up by soldiers, or as the author put it, "combat-ready shock troops dressed in full battle gear and armed with machine guns." At this point, Michaels, one of the characters described as O'Reilly's fictional "alter ego" realized he "had to get away" with his cameraman and soundman. As Michaels and his crew escaped, the soldiers let loose on the crowd.
"Without warning, they began firing directly into the crowd," O'Reilly wrote, adding, "Hundreds of people immediately fell onto the cement."
O'Reilly wrote that Michaels "saw one man take a bullet squarely in the right eye" and he "was killed instantly." He described "ten thousand tightly packed demonstrators ... desperately trying to get away from the gunfire any way they could."
These scenes written by O'Reilly contradict contemporaneous reports of the real-life protest, which do not describe widespread gunfire or any deaths.

In another book, O'Reilly claimed that he saw some war action in Northern Ireland and El Salvador in addition to Buenos Aires, but under scrutiny he is backing off.

From Washington Post
In his 2013 book, “Keep It Pithy,” the Fox News host recounted,“I’ve seen soldiers gun down unarmed civilians in Latin America, Irish terrorists kill and maim their fellow citizens in Belfast with bombs.”

On another occasion, he said, “I’ve covered four wars,” and ticked off El Salvador’s civil war in the 1980s, the 1982 Falklands conflict, Northern Ireland and an unspecified conflict in Israel. “I’ve seen the best and the worst.”
. . . O’Reilly traveled to Northern Ireland in 1984 to research a book about the Troubles, according to Fox News. The book was never finished, and it’s not clear whether he covered the conflict for any news organization. At the time, he was working for a Boston TV station, WCVB, but his then-boss, Philip S. Balboni, said that O’Reilly covered only local news and did commentary for the station.
O’Reilly didn’t mention seeing any terrorist bombings in Northern Ireland during a radio interview with syndicated host Hugh Hewitt last week. Instead, he told a milder story: “We went on a raid in Divis Flats with the police. And it was a pretty intense situation. There was stuff being thrown, arrests being made, all of that.”
“Were you in fear of physical harm?” Hewitt asked.
No, O’Reilly replied.

O'Reilly also tried to use photographic evidence to "prove" that he saw nuns being shot in El Salvador. He doesn't seem to understand the difference between "seeing" a picture of something and "seeing" something in person, yet he always uses first person when he talks.

From Talking Points Memo
“While in El Salvador, reporters were shown horrendous images of violence that were never broadcast, including depictions of nuns who were murdered," he told Mediaite.

During a Dec. 14, 2012 episode of "The O'Reilly Factor," O'Reilly talked about the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. He compared it to something he said he'd seen earlier in his career.

"I was in El Salvador and I saw nuns get shot in the back of the head," O'Reilly said, according to Media Matters.

He explained to Mediaite on Wednesday that he brought up El Salvador while discussing the Sandy Hook shooting to talk about "evil."

"I used the murdered nuns as an example of that evil," O'Reilly told the website. "That’s what I am referring to when I say ‘I saw nuns get shot in the back of the head.’ No one could possibly take that segment as reporting on El Salvador.”

Media Matters also pointed to a Sept. 27, 2005 episode of O'Reilly's radio show in which he said, "I've seen guys gun down nuns in El Salvador."


Media Matters also found a good example of O'Reilly claiming that he covered a dramatic story in person when actually he was several states away at a TV station.

George de Mohrenschildt was a Russian emigre who befriended Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and testified before the Warren Commission investigating the Kennedy assassination. On March 29, 1977, the same day he was contacted by the House Select Committee on Assassinations, he committed suicide at his daughter's home in Florida. At the time, O'Reilly was a reporter for Dallas' WFAA-TV who regularly reported on stories related to the Kennedy assassination.
O'Reilly has bizarrely inserted himself into de Mohrenschildt's story, claiming in books and on Fox News that he was outside the house seeking to interview de Mohrenschiltd at the time of his death.

. . . In his 2012 best-selling non-fiction book Killing Kennedy, O'Reilly writes on page 300 that as a "reporter knocked on the door of de Mohrenschildt's daughter's home, he heard the shotgun blast that marked the suicide of the Russian ... that reporter's name is Bill O'Reilly."

. . . "Bill O'Reilly's a phony, there's no other way to put it," said Tracy Rowlett, a former WFAA reporter and anchor who worked at the station with O'Reilly. "He was not up on the porch when he heard the gunshots, he was in Dallas. He wasn't traveling at that time."
Byron Harris, a reporter at WFAA for the past 40 years, agreed that O'Reilly had not traveled to Florida for the story and accused him of stealing his reporting on de Mohrenschildt's suicide from a newspaper.
According to Harris, O'Reilly "was in Dallas. He stole that article out of the newspaper. I guarantee Channel 8 didn't send him to Florida to do that story because it was a newspaper story, it was broken by the Dallas Morning News."

White House Intruder was well-known to Secret Service

photo white_house_plaque_n13329.gif

In a scary moment last Friday, a man armed with a knife rushed past Secret Service Agents on the White House lawn and got as far as the door. The first family had just left the building, thank God, but why wasn't this guy stopped? And media is now reporting that the guy is an Iraq veteran who also happened to have 800 rounds of ammo in his car, and he is a repeat-offender with weapons charges in Virginia who was well-known by the Secret Service.

This is baffling and disturbing. Why was this guy allowed anywhere near the White House grounds? At least he is in custody now, but it's worrying that others might try to breeze past security and blow up a bomb or something.





From New York Times
. . . Federal prosecutors said that officers found 800 rounds of ammunition, two hatchets and a machete in the car of Omar Jose Gonzalez, 42, of Texas, after they searched it on Friday. The prosecutors made their disclosure before a judge as they argued that Mr. Gonzalez should continue to be held in jail because he posed a danger to President Obama.

The judge agreed, and Mr. Gonzalez will remain in custody until a hearing next month.

In late August, Secret Service officers stopped Mr. Gonzalez in front of the fence on the White House’s South Lawn after they noticed a hatchet in his waistband, the officials said. The officers searched Mr. Gonzalez’s car, finding two dogs, camping equipment but no weapons. He was not arrested or questioned further.

In July, Mr. Gonzalez was arrested after he led Virginia troopers on a high-speed pursuit along Interstate 81 in Southwest Virginia in his Ford Bronco. After being stopped, police found the vehicle filled with weapons, according to a release by the state police.

Among the items found in Mr. Gonzalez’s vehicle in July was a mini-arsenal of 11 guns including two shotguns and four rifles, some equipped with scopes and bipods that a sniper would use and “a map of Washington, D.C., with writing and a line drawn to the White House,” law enforcement officials said. He also had four pistols, three of them loaded, and a revolver. The inventory of Mr. Gonzales’ vehicle listed by the Virginia State Police indicates the items were found stored in his vehicle’s “bulky floor.”

#BundyRanch Supporters Have Sniper Denial

Now that the FBI is investigating the Bundy Ranch crowd, there's a whole lotta screaming denial and rationalization going on. "It's not us, it's them! Our guns weren't pointed at anybody - that was the BLM! Snipers? What snipers? Well, the BLM had guns too, neener, neener!"

Okey-dokey, let's just see how that excuse works in court when YouTube has hours of video with pictures of the self-professed Militia members. Not to mention all the talk on Twitter, Facebook, Message Boards, and other social media about what was happening at Bundy Ranch. There's a record all over the internet.

"Why the Gun? Because they have guns."
~ Militia Member at Bundy Ranch





From Talking Points Memo
Las Vegas TV station KLAS reported Thursday that the FBI has begun interviewing Clark County sheriff's officials in what the news station describes as a "formal investigation into alleged death threats, intimidation and possible weapons violations" on the part of the Bundy militia.
Sheriff Doug Gillespie confirmed to KLAS that FBI agents asked him whether he saw Bundy supporters point guns at metro police officers during last month's showdown, but declined to share what he told the agents.

KLAS News - Las Vegas, Nevada
FBI agents also spoke to an entire squad of Metro officers, who were on the scene to act as a buffer between the crowd and the BLM. Bundy supporters have insisted in emails and calls to 8 News NOW that no one in the crowd pointed weapons at BLM or Metro, but officers told the I-Team that is exactly what they saw, that many with guns set up behind women and children.

"It is not a rumor. When we first got out there and made a left to divide I-15, that is all you saw. You saw kids and women and horses in the backdrop and then men with guns, laying on the ground, in the back of pickup trucks. We're going, 'wow, this would never happen in Las Vegas,' But it was there. That is not a rumor. It is reality and I saw it with my own eyes," Metro Police Sgt. Tom Jenkins said.
Sgt. Jenkins has been interviewed by the FBI. A second squad is expected to be interviewed by week's end. The bureau does not confirm or deny the existence of any investigation but the I-Team have confirmed from multiple sources that a criminal investigation is underway.

I see. The King’s Men can point machine guns at the peasants all day long, but WOE BETIDE a peasant who points a gun at a King’s Man...
~ kiryandil on Free Republic

I've wondered if this guy was a plant. From other photos you can see that he has an unscoped AK and is, what? 400+ yds from the feds and would be shooting over friendlies? Unless he's experienced shooting that rifle with open sights at that distance and angle he could dropping rounds right amongst the good guys.
Also from other photos it appeared that he was the only militia up there with a bunch of sightseers.
~ eagles6 on Free Republic

He’s pointing a paintball gun, that’s weird.
~ Bulwyf on Free Republic

I watched the live feed for the entire 8 hours it unfolded. The Feds were the ones pointing guns. I never saw the protesters aiming guns at the Feds at any time.
~ ambrosia on InfoWars

FBI are domestic terrorists. Shoot first and worry later! Remember folks this is the same agency that bombed Boston to bring in a beta version of Martial Law!
~ Pissed-Off and Ready for 1776 on InfoWars

People had their weapons pointed at the crooks, they were stealing/killing cattle, taking their land, using force against unarmed civilians, intimidation and these crooks were armed and pointing their weapons at these civilians. Once this happened our American Patriots ran to the call. What else would you expect free Americans to do, guess what feds..we fear for our life everyday because of the federal government, now we have the right to destroy you? Thank you, happy hunting
~ AE on InfoWars

They are not pointing at them... Just looking through their scopes to identify the agents.
~ Escondido73 on World Net Daily

It was self defense. The people of Clark County need to replace that candy-assed sheriff.
~ FedUp on World Net Daily

It was reported at the time that the feds physically assaulted Bundy's peaceful supporters; abused and frightened Bundy's cattle and caused the terrified cattle to die.
A lot of people were genuinely frightened that the feds were going to shoot to death Bundy's supporters. Thank God they weren't. It was a very scary time.

This is ridiculous. The fbi are just trying to get someone to fire the first shot. The government is looking away to declare martial law. They just want a reason to lock down the country and take away our guns.

Alex Jones said in a video a few days ago the following. "If you are questioned by the FBI, you're ending up dead more and more in their custody". I'm going to believe him on this one. The FBI are trying to silence the people, there is no crime against pointing a gun at someone, there is a crime against firing a gun against someone (situation based). The argument the BLM is using is the exact same argument that Bundy's supporters can, and will, use against them. You had 200 heavily armed BLM threatening murder to people who protested out of "free speech zones", sicced attack dogs on them, tazed people, and you wanna claim the victim, BLM? FBI, don't do this. It will not end well for anyone.
~ ancient18 on World Net Daily

THe photos I saw, yes the protesters were on an overpass with weapons pointed at the Govt. goons,who were pointing their guns at hundreds of Bundy supporters. I think the supporters had no choice as the Govt. goons had been there for days,tazing people, herding them into areas like cattle etc. I beleive the Govt. is not done with the Bundy's. THey are waiting for things to die down,then will sweep in and do what who knows. THey will not just drop this. They fail to realize the American people are not going to let it drop and won't put up with this COMMIE control'

Rep. Michael Grimm R-NY Threatens Reporter With Bodily Harm

photo imagesqtbnANd9GcTlnIEYNd3GaOd-tXrE1.jpg

This happened after the State of the Union Speech on Tuesday night: a reporter for the New York One station named Michael Scotto was interviewing Representative Michael Grimm R-NY, asking about a political donor scandal that has been in the news for months. Grimm flipped out and went completely thug, threatening to hang the reporter by his bootstraps or worse:




From NY1 News
Grimm: "Let me be clear to you, you ever do that to me again I'll throw you off this f-----g balcony."

Scotto: "Why? I just wanted to ask you..."

[[cross talk]]

Grimm: "If you ever do that to me again..."

Scotto: "Why? Why? It’s a valid question."

[[cross talk]]

Grimm: "No, no, you're not man enough, you're not man enough. I'll break you in half. Like a boy."

In a statement, Grimm said,

“I was extremely annoyed because I was doing NY1 a favor by rushing to do their interview first in lieu of several other requests. The reporter knew that I was in a hurry and was only there to comment on the State of the Union, but insisted on taking a disrespectful and cheap shot at the end of the interview, because I did not have time to speak off-topic. I verbally took the reporter to task and told him off, because I expect a certain level of professionalism and respect, especially when I go out of my way to do that reporter a favor. I doubt that I am the first Member of Congress to tell off a reporter, and I am sure I won’t be the last.”

What was Grimm so ticked-off about? Well . . . he's in hot water:

Greenwald Threatens America


photo drEvil.jpg

From Reuters
"Snowden has enough information to cause harm to the U.S. government in a single minute than any other person has ever had," Greenwald said in an interview in Rio de Janeiro with the Argentinean daily La Nacion.
"The U.S. government should be on its knees every day begging that nothing happen to Snowden, because if something does happen to him, all the information will be revealed and it could be its worst nightmare."

From Guardian UK ~ "About the Reuters Article" by Greenwald
...That Snowden has created some sort of "dead man's switch" - whereby documents get released in the event that he is killed by the US government - was previously reported weeks ago, and Snowden himself has strongly implied much the same thing. That doesn't mean he thinks the US government is attempting to kill him - he doesn't - just that he's taken precautions against all eventualities, including that one (just incidentally, the notion that a government that has spent the last decade invading, bombing, torturing, rendering, kidnapping, imprisoning without charges, droning, partnering with the worst dictators and murderers, and targeting its own citizens for assassination would be above such conduct is charmingly quaint).

From the Associated Press
He said the "literally thousands of documents" taken by Snowden constitute "basically the instruction manual for how the NSA is built."

"In order to take documents with him that proved that what he was saying was true he had to take ones that included very sensitive, detailed blueprints of how the NSA does what they do," the journalist said Sunday in a Rio de Janeiro hotel room. He said the interview was taking place about four hours after his last interaction with Snowden.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~








~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's one thing to say that Mr. Snowden possesses some information that could be harmful, and that could be part of the calculation that everybody makes here. It's another to make that kind of an aggressive, non-reportorial statement [that] a reporter has no business making.
~ Famed Reporter Carl Bernstein on Morning Joe

I realize Carl Bernstein hasn't done any actual reporting for a couple decades now, but he should nonetheless take the time to read what he's opining on. The Reuters article he's referencing is a complete distortion of what I actually said in that interview. The point I made is the opposite one: that Snowden has been as responsible as a whistleblower can be in ensuring that only information the public should know is revealed, but not gratuitously harmful information.
~ Glenn Greenwald in letter to Politico, responding to Carl Bernstein on Morning Joe



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The USA should be "on it's knees"? Who talks like this? What is this, the W.W.E.? This is an absolute joke.
Is Greenwald a journalist or Snowden's agent? I've seen subtler hype machines for Paris Hilton reality shows.
~ WinSmith on Daily Kos

What an amazingly arrogant, skin-crawlingly creepy statement, even for this most arrogant of journalists. Is Greenwald trying to get Edward Snowden killed?
~ Charles Johnson on Little Green Footballs

I’ve been thinking about this all weekend: what’s to keep Snowden from changing the terms of the threat? What if Snowden is apprehended by U.S. officials and they take away his beloved computer? What if he doesn’t like the ways he’s being treated in custody? This is a very paranoid guy under a lot of self-imposed stress, and he’s surrounded by a team of other paranoiacs. As far as I’m concerned just about anything could engage the “dead man switch.”
. . . Greenwald volunteered the threatening language, not Snowden or Wikileaks or Assange. He did it in classic noir mob movie style: “Don’t nobody move, see, or the United States government gets it!”
~ Bob Cesca on The Daily Banter

Starved for attention? Greenwald is becoming rather obnoxious. I wonder if he's actually the one afraid for his life, and he's trying to make himself feel better.
~ StarGazer09 on Democratic Underground

Greenwal and snowden are sounding more and more like terrorists
With their threats, demands, and accusations.
~ BushIsAnIdiot on Democratic Underground

The American government does not negotiate with terrorists and will not negotiate with Snowden while he holds a gun to the head of Americans security.
~ Bocalou in Huff Post

Glenn "it's all about me" Greenwald.
~ Shadrack Hyde on Huff Post

Is this Blackmail??? Is this a Felony??? Is he a Conspirator???
~ Bob A D on Huff Post

pure and total b.s. if that was the case snowden would have been dead weeks ago. the navy seals would have done a bin laden on him and he would be deep in the pacific ocean. i am losing respect for greenwald more every day. america will get him, he wil serve his 10, and then become a greeter at walmart. that is his future.
~ aldoray on Huff Post

This is what heroes do, right, inflict damage on their country and bring it to its knees. So says the hero's champion, the altruist and all-wise journalist Greenwald--just like Ben Franklin.

North Korean Missile Threats Equal Comedy Gold

photo Kim-Jong-Un-Launch.jpg


Tensions continue to mount in this North Korea situation. The U.S. has moved a Navy warship off the coast of the Korean Peninsula. Is that going to scare the North Koreans? If you really want to scare them, don't send a warship. Send a Carnival cruise ship.
~ Jay Leno on The Tonight Show

Japan and South Korea are on high alert after North Korea successfully launched a long-range rocket. Both countries are surprised by North Korea's successful launch, but definitely not as surprised as North Korea.
~ Jimmy Fallon

Why do I feel like this whole thing could be solved by sending Kim Jong Un a Disneyland pass?
~ Jimmy Kimmel

North Korea has the same ability to launch a nuclear strike against America as I do. It's like walking through a parking lot and getting barked at by a chihuahua locked in a car.
~ Bill Maher

In high school Kim Jong Un starred in a production of the musical 'Grease.' That's also where Kim met his first wife, Olivia Newton Jong.

Japan gave warnings too. They said if North Korea tests this new weapon, Japan will have no choice but to set up their own missile defense system. They're adorable little missiles with 'Hello Kitty' on them.
~ Craig Ferguson

Dealing with the North Koreans is very difficult. They have a history of making irrational decisions to divert the world's attention from the fact their system has totally collapsed. No wait, sorry. I was thinking of NBC.

Threat Level Midnight ~ Bob Woodward Afraid of Coded Threat from White House

photo tumblr_lqd154E9oQ1qarclzo1_500.gif


From New York Mag
Woodard reiterated that he never said he felt threatened, and resisted Sean Hannity's efforts to get him to say that the White House is lying, or accusing him of being a liar. "I'm not going to use words like that," said Woodward.
However, he went on to explain that he still thinks there was something sinister about Sperling's apologetic note. "The problem I have with the Gene Sperling email — and this comes after a shouting match, lot's of people shout at me — he's says I'm going to 'regret.' That goes into the coded, 'you better watch out,'" Woodward said. But to be clear, he still hasn't uttered the word "threat."



From Business Insider: David Axelrod Versus Woodward on Morning Joe
"I know what intimidation is. And Bob, the headline in the Washington Post, your newspaper, was that 'Woodward said he was threatened by the White House,'" Axelrod said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" today. "... But when the full emails came out, they were as cordial as can be. His email was cordial, and your response was cordial."

"So if you felt threatened," Axelrod continued, "why didn't you say to Gene, 'Don't threaten me?'"



"No, I did not feel threatened," Woodward responded. "What I have said, David — come on, you are putting words in my mouth. I said I don't think this is the way to operate. And you and I have had many discussions. You've never said to me, 'Oh, you're going to regret doing that.' Am I correct?"

Axelrod said that Sperling and Woodward were having a "specific discussion about a specific point."

"And by the way, I'm not putting words in your mouth, Bob. It's your newspaper that said you said you were threatened," Axelrod said.

photo tumblr_lqd154E9oQ1qarclzo2_500.gif



Good evening, I was threatened. Well, not threatened. I felt threatened. I mean, I could have felt threatened. At first I didn't feel threatened, then I did, but I don't know why.
~ Craig2 on Huff Post

-Was he trying to give the GOP cover on the sequestor?
-Was he trying to insert himself into the story?
-Was he trying to create a mini-gate to become more relevant?
-Was he playing partisan whiny politics?
-Was he playing victim?
-Was he trying to give himself cover for claiming the President initiated the sequestor?
The answer is yes.
~ HolyCowBatman on Huff Post

He tweeks his story just a little bit everyday. It seems to have gone from a hostile threat, to a warning and then to coded language. By next week it will have turned into an invitation to play a couple of rounds of golf.
~ nikki717 on Huff Post

Woodward was trying to create some excitement for himself. Most people want to end their career on a high note, looks like he's determined to take the fool's road.
~ Texian Life on Huff Post

Bob is the old Guy who keeps talking about the 3 touchdowns he scored in the High School Homecoming game.
~ LabRodent on Wonkette

I was threatened by a sign I saw today that said "Caution: Wet Floor"
What? Wet with my blood? Why do I have to be cautious? Is that a threat?
Finally somebody had to pull me away from the sign.
~ Iburl on Wonkette

Woodward hit the journalistic version of the Life Call button too many times.
"My career has fallen and it can't get up!"
~ John Birf Society on Wonkette

If you’ve been keeping up with The Perils of Bobline, when we last left Bob Woodward, he was tied up and left on the railroad tracks by the evil Snidely Obama who threatened him that if he didn’t pay the mortgage, he would foreclose on his publishing house and let the train run over him.
In response, Bobline cried out in a high pitch, “Help! Help! Oh please, someone help poor little growing irrelevant me!”
But it was too late, the train of media opinion ran over the melodramatic Bobline and his professional credibility was killed.

Obama Tells Wingnuts "No Secession"

Previous Posts:
Snark Amendment: To Secede or Merely Succeed, That is the Question
Snark Amendment: Secession Wars


Official White House Response to Secessionists
Thank you for using the White House's online petitions platform to participate in your government.

In a nation of 300 million people -- each with their own set of deeply-held beliefs -- democracy can be noisy and controversial. And that's a good thing. Free and open debate is what makes this country work, and many people around the world risk their lives every day for the liberties we often take for granted.

But as much as we value a healthy debate, we don't let that debate tear us apart.

. . . So let's be clear: No one disputes that our country faces big challenges, and the recent election followed a vigorous debate about how they should be addressed. As President Obama said the night he won re-election, "We may have battled fiercely, but it's only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future."


Party-Pooping White House
Well, this is certainly disappointing. All those people who signed all those petitions for secession on the White House website are going to be like soooo annoyed. I mean, what’s the point of petitioning for secession rights for South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Louisiana if White House is just going to blow you off?
~ Scholars and Rogues

If at first you don't SECEDE, try, try again.
~ Sir Wizard on Freedom Outpost

Yes, I signed every dam secession petition I could find! Of course this was all symbolic, I don't think any of us seriously thought anything more would come of it than a few dismissive remarks from the Collaborationist media. But what we are facing here is more than a regional disagreement, this literally has the potential to embroil all 50 states and the territories & commonwealths besides. All I'm saying is, let's be very sure of what it is that some are suggesting. Let's not fool ourselves with pious talk of reformation or restoration, but keep carefully in mind the words of Patrick Henry, "If this be treason, make the most of it.”

That's all right people. When TEXAS decides it has had enough, all hell will break loose. Texas has more of a right to seceede than any other state in the U.S, Her economy is better than all of the U.S. economy put together, we have a better school system, we have our own oil to depend upon, we have cotton, soybeans, and every other form of food, PLUS our Santa Gertrudis cattle to feed our populace. We even have our own space program!!! Don't push Texas too far Washington.

Empty gesture and a mockery. What's the purpose of a petition, if the "president" rules by decree anyway???

So the guy in Mobile who was mad at the FEDERAL government because the LOCAL government shut down his topless car wash won't get his wish? Aww, dang. Hate it for the little goob.

Umm, sore losers mad because Obama got elected, then they ask his permission to secede! lol

Well, we are not prisoners to dictatorships, so we must have the right to leave the union once it no longer serves its intended purpose and treads on our liberties.

Rights are granted by God not Government. Certainly not the Lying POS who sleeps in our house at 1600 Penn. Ave.
~ TexasFossil on Free Republic

There is a right to secede. It comes from the same source as our Right to keep and bear arm - God Himself - and a government that no longer rules with the consent of the governed and under the rule of a written Constitution cannot stop secession except by force. I hope and pray that our soldiers are too honorable and patriotic to obey any unlawful orders that they may receive in such a situation. I wish the thug in our White House would reread the Declaration of Independence; it articulates our right to secede quite well.

where can we find someone that will ignore the ayatollah barack and rise rough shod over him as he is doing to the entire United States of America. We need a leader who respects the Constitution Lives by the Amendments and represents WE THE PEoPLE
~ Barb P. on World Net Daily

The idiot sitting in the office of the President couldn't understand the constitution if it was spelled out in first grade language for him. Unless we can get rid of him, his czars and every illegal cabinet member he has nominated we are doomed!!

. . . The "right to separate" was resolved from 1861-65. There is no right to secede. Not only did the Civil War resolve this issue, in Texas v. White the Supreme Court ruled that states do not have the right to secede. You are welcome to move elsewhere though.
~ Teddy_Roosevelt on World Net Daily

Where did this weird idea of petitioning the president come from? It`s not up to the president to "allow" secession.

I CANNOT get passed the fact that MOST EVERYONE had Romney as the WINNER, some going as far as saying it would be a LANDSLIDE. FACT is that the MAJORITY of the INDEPENDENTS voted for Romney, and the establishment say that the BASE didn't vote. WHAT? There weren't a ton of people that were motivated to vote this incompetent idiot out of office? BOLOGNA! My question is HOW do they know the base didn't come out and vote?? Would it show the base didn't come out if the voting machines in 5 states changed every 3rd Romney vote to BHO? I know there are a lot of lazy people on the oboma dole, and are motivated to ruin the country before the will give up their stuff and go to work, but I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THIS CHICAGO INCOMPETENT THUG WON THE ELECTION WITHOUT A LOT OF VOTER FRAUD GOING ON. They HAD TO WIN this election, OR THEIR AGENDA and LIBERALISM/COMMUNISM WOULD BE SET BACK 100 yrs because of what Romney would have done to turn this country around. I THINK WE HAVE BEEN SNOOKERED BY SOME CHICAGO COMMIES.

When you lose all of our military bases and other federal entities, to say nothing about the amount of federal money you get in excess of what you contribute, please explain how you will survive. Gun shops, walmarts, and Ted Nugent concerts are not enough to sustain you.
~ everymothersson on Huffington Post

My guess is that the people circulating the petitions probably had to hire someone to spell "secession".
~ fishnfool on Huff Post

We don’t need to sucede! WE NEED TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!
WE, THE U.S. CITIZENS, ARE THE BOSS AND WE’VE BEEN LETTING OUR EMPLOYEES RUN THE SHOW!!!
We must now begin to disassemble this beast we’ve complacently allowed to grow before it consumes us all!!!
~ freedomnetworker on The Blaze

These states just need to stand up and do a proclamation to secede.. not ask for permission. The governors need to come together and convene.
~ freedomnetworker on The Blaze

Glenn Beck’s hero, Abraham Lincoln claimed the states have no right to secede and form their own government. So in order to get past this roadblock, we have to convince liberals AND people like glenn beck, bill o’reily, etc….That will be tough
~ soybomb315_II on The Blaze

I’d rather die defending the Constitution and my rights than live under the Soros/Obama communist utopia.
~ behindblueeyes on The Blaze

Perhaps Lincoln was wrong. He should have let them go. By now they would be begging to join the modern world.

~ Fig Newt on Politico

South Carolina was 1st to vote to join the Confederacy, and 1st to vote to secede from the Union. Surprise, surprise. A hand full of spoiled kids sign a petition because they aren't getting their way, and it' news. Let Texas secede....and when the Mexican druglords are making Texas their bitch, don't run to Uncle Sam. The advent of social media and blogs has really put a spotlight on a number of unwell people amidst decent folks. The people who are signing petitions to secede would wet themselves if they awaken tomorrow with the strength, wisdom, and greatness of these United States backing their moves. Really. SC leaving these United States is not going to happen but the politicians in SC need stop fanning this kind of lunacy. And the hate speech on this blog is so 1960's. Hello, its 21st century. Hate is a poor commodity to trade in these days, and God really doesn't like ugly!
