- Insightful, on 07/25/2008, -7/+85Does O'Reilly support torture if America soldiers or civilians that were captured? Can we torture O'Reilly and his cohorts?
- wynja, on 07/25/2008, -5/+74Since when has denouncing torture become anti-American? I say do people like Bill exist in the real world? Surely this man cannot be so stupid. He must just be acting this ***** out. There is no way he can truly believe that denouncing torture is un-American.
I mean by his very words. Vietnamese soldiers whom tortured McCain are more American than Obama. Does that make any sense to you? - slifty, on 07/25/2008, -7/+73Its times like this that I wish facepalm hadn't been abused to the point that it doesn't mean anything anymore.
- slifty, on 07/25/2008, -7/+52Did he actually or are you blowing steam? When you make a claim like that about a publicly available speech, it is wise to reference the quote to which you are referring directly, thus enabling others to come to their own conclusion while taking your statement into account.
You have presented the hypothesis poorly and added noise to the conversation. Furthermore you have helped to polarize things through miscommunication on a hot topic.
So yeah, sauce please. - inactive, on 07/26/2008, -5/+34Urge to kill...rising...
- Apokalyps2547, on 07/26/2008, -6/+32You didn't actually HEAR the speech, did you? You just listened to Rush Limbaugh's review of it.
- TrevorBelmont, on 07/25/2008, -11/+37Bill O'Reilly says lots of crazy things. He is a professional troll. Why do we continue to call him out on this stuff when all it accomplishes is carrying his nonsense to a broader audience?
Let's be productive and keep the O'Reilly chatter on the subject of his sexually harassing and assaulting his female producer or on his childish and obscene "off air" freak outs. - somestranger26, on 07/26/2008, -4/+28………………..,-~*’`¯lllllll`*~,

- themonkman, on 07/26/2008, -2/+23Watching "The O'Reilly" factor is torture. I'd rather have my nipples attached to commercial high voltage power lines.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -5/+26Uh, digg is a user-run site with user-generated front page content, Fox News isn't.
- Murrabbit, on 07/26/2008, -3/+23That's just the way the guys at Fox work - anything negative that happens as a result of their preferred party's policies (say like people being very upset with the fact that we torture detainees in violation of both our own law, international treaties and war crime law), then it just didn't happen. Not only did it not happen but anyone who keeps talking about it is anti-American.
- damonic, on 07/26/2008, -3/+23Watching O'Reilly get tortured on Fox News would be the only thing that could get me to tune in...
- dupswapdrop, on 07/25/2008, -7/+27Waterboard O'Reilly! then Taser him!
- inactive, on 07/26/2008, -4/+21So let me get this straight...you support us going into another country and killing the people who are fighting to keep an invader out, but you don't support people trying to protect their own country? So if China invades the USA, you think it's okay for them to kill any American trying to protect his/her own property, but Americans better not shoot at Chinese?
- staeiou, on 07/26/2008, -3/+21Torture goes against everything America is supposed to stand for. Anyone who supports torture is spouting anti-American propaganda.
Also, I find it amusing that the "respect the rule of law" talking point which was so passionately yelled by conservatives during the immigration debates is being dismissed by conservatives when it comes to torture. - donshi, on 07/26/2008, -6/+23Anti-American? What's more American than torture?
- baldick, on 07/26/2008, -1/+18Go dip a rag in water, put it on your face for a couple of minutes while continuing to poor water on it and then come tell us if you still think waterboarding is "too bad" or justified even on ONE single person, ass
- lonehunter01, on 07/26/2008, -4/+19It's not hypocrisy if they aren't claiming to be fair and balanced.
- Murrabbit, on 07/26/2008, -3/+18There are very few pro-Bush or pro-Fox articles out there these days, and rightly so. You'd do well to pay attention to the world around you and figure out just why that is.
- Apokalyps2547, on 07/26/2008, -3/+17We're not claiming to be journalists. We're private citizens with opinions.
- Ebonsteel, on 07/26/2008, -0/+14Hey, don't knock it; some GOP Senators and Congressmen pay a lot of money to have that done to them! :D
- inactive, on 07/26/2008, -2/+15Lets look at it again: They were attacking obama for bringing up the "most hated steriotype in america..."
1.) Would you rather he not address the situation AT ALL?
2.) He said we DIDN'T torture. Fox fails at trying to find things wrong with obama. They really do.
Fuuuuuck you bill O'rielly, I'll be DOIN IT TO YOUR MOM LIVE! - Dymphna, on 07/26/2008, -2/+151) No matter how guilty somebody is, they deserve a fair trial. Then they can be punished AFTER a jury finds them guilty.
2) Torture is NEVER a justified punishment. Even if the person in question tortured somebody, if you torture them it makes you absolutely no better than they are. If you want any kind of semblance of morality, torture is wrong, it doesn't matter who it is.
3) This is assuming any of those involved in the tortures were at all involved in the world trade center attacks, which is unlikely in Iraq, but regardless cannot be proven without a FAIR TRIAL.
3 people tortured is still a reprehensible crime against humanity AND should be spoken out against. One single person being torture is unacceptable, and should be a grave crime. - sk11, on 07/26/2008, -3/+16He makes a good living out of being a neo-con mouth piece, I'm sure his masters pat him on the head and feed him doggy biscuits too. He's just like the tabacco company lawyers/lobbyists, who were lying through their front teeth about the effects of smoking. There's no mystery.
It's the people who believe the crap he spews you have to really wonder about. - relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -3/+16I remember being told about how the US does not torture its foreign prisoners like it was a code when I was little, and whenever I was reminded of wars I would think about it often and be really proud just at the very idea. Now its like nobody gives a *****.
Don't know what Bill is thinking, but I thought it was a traditional American principle to, you know, oppose torture. - artfiend77, on 07/26/2008, -1/+13Obama isn't making America look bad abroad, Bill O'Reilly is.
- inactive, on 07/26/2008, -3/+15Where do I start? Have you read any of the comments above? Saying torture is a bad thing is not dissing the US, it seems to be a matter of common decency and about 200,001 people agree with that.
- stealthc, on 07/26/2008, -2/+14That's three too many.
- inactive, on 07/26/2008, -2/+13The truth is, at the very heart of what America is supposed to be about, believing and following the U.S. Constitution, BillO is one of the most anti-American people in the world.
- sk11, on 07/26/2008, -4/+14He'd probably just enjoy it on a sexual level.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -0/+9How the ***** is it a diss to try and make your country and its image abroad better by opposing systematic military torture? That logic is ass-backwards to me.
- nblsavage, on 07/26/2008, -2/+11And I give a crap what other people think? Life isn't a popularity contest you schmuck but for the record, I have 420 fans, I'm just selective about who I friend.
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 07/26/2008, -1/+10How is saying we will defend the rule of law and not torture people denouncing America?
He was actually really nice about the whole thing and didn't call anyone out. Such as all the people who still deny anything happened when it did. Which is also known as telling a bold faced lie.
He was talking about America moving forward, and what he would like to see the country become. It's laughable that you're offended by the simple fact that we have not recently lived up to the standard he sets for us and then blame HIM.
You're a joke. - inactive, on 07/26/2008, -1/+10I've said it before and I'll say it again: the day Bill O'Reilly chokes and dies, party at my house.
- omegared, on 07/26/2008, -1/+9ya it does make sense how can America claim they care about human rights, speak up when other country's torture, yet than go torture people? if America does torture they can not claim they are better than other countries in regards to torture till they stop this practice.
- Renian, on 07/26/2008, -3/+11The O'Reilly Factor is "anti-American propaganda." What a tool.
- djdingo, on 07/26/2008, -1/+9My friend's two roommates recently signed up for the Navy. He told me one of them was offered the opportunity to work at Gitmo and "work with" the detainees. His job was to "belittle the detainees as much as possible". Basically torture them without the military using the word "torture".
He turned down that position and is now in limbo until the military finds him something else to do.
So even if the media tells you otherwise, torture is STILL happening and it must be stopped. - luciofulci, on 07/26/2008, -1/+9Regardless of your stance on torture, it violates what was stated in the geneva convention.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -0/+7I'll bring the falafel.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -0/+7There are some things that are a bedrock of our constitution, regardless of how we feel about them. The notion that the United States unconditionally does not torture its prisoners of war speaks volumes about our character as a nation and our reputation for following the rule of international law, and our own.
There's no reason to undermine it by putting it in quotation marks, it doesn't make the tactics being used by the military any less valid. Waterboarding was classified by our own military and government as torture when it was used by the Japanese and Nazi Germany during WWII. Nothing has changed since then.
Many intelligence analysts and interrogators in the FBI and CIA have claimed repeatedly that there isn't even any solid evidence that torture works. One of the biggest cases for this cited is the Al Qaeda captive who produced the "evidence" under CIA torture in 2001 that Saddam Hussein's regime had supplied Al Qaeda with WMD knowledge and capacity. He admitted to lying about that years later of course, after the CIA had called his credibility into question.
If there were evidence to support your '24' scenario and show that military torture has saved lives, that might change alot of minds.
Besides, after WMD fell through the floor all the Bush apologists were saying it was right to invade because Saddam tortured. - WasabiBomb, on 07/26/2008, -0/+7shewy, torturing ANYONE, for ANY reason, is bad. Period, full stop, end of sentence, close the damn book.
- LuCiFer6, on 07/26/2008, -6/+13Why do people still listen to Bill'O The Clown?
- StarlessKnight, on 07/26/2008, -1/+8Ah, ah, excuse me. Excuse me, sir! *Sheepiesh raise of hand* But, uh, isn't the Freedom of Speech an American value?
/Was there a recent Amendment to the Constitution stating the only Free Speech is speech that is neutral or praises America and/or its leaders?
Anti-American is an American aiding and abetting the enemy. They have a name for that in the Constitution: Traitor. Speech, alone, however does not constitute aiding the enemy to a degree necessary to call them a traitor. It might be enough to use that in a trial in order to prove they are a criminal, however. Speech is Free, but that doesn't absolve you of consequences if it's used improperly (inciting riots, yelling fire, conspiracy, etc). Criminal != Anti-American. - filldeviant, on 07/26/2008, -8/+14Sweet Jesus I hate Bill O'Reilly.
- inactive, on 07/26/2008, -2/+8Even if they are extremely conservative how can someone stand any of the diarrhea that comes pouring out of O'Reilly's mouth on a daily basis.
- nblsavage, on 07/26/2008, -4/+10Quad, do us all a favor and stay lost....putz.
- nblsavage, on 07/26/2008, -4/+10yeah I love you too.
- MWeather, on 07/26/2008, -2/+7"As for Iraq, you're naive if you think the insurgency is "people who are fighting to keep an invader out."
So you think there are a lot of Shiites in Al Qaeda? You are a ***** moron. - Bologner, on 07/26/2008, -0/+6I hate O'Reilly, but they missed a few words in there that I find changes alot of the argument.
"This torture ON A MASS SCALE garbage is rank, anti-American propaganda" is what he said. He didn't say we WEREN'T torturing, he said it was happening as much as some people say it is.
Granted, any torture is too much. -
