O’Reilly: What Obama Can Teach America’s Kids
Steve Krakauer who I slammed earlier this week for a ridiculous piece on Mediaite about Glenn Beck, has an excellent piece up today about Bill O’Reilly.
Krakauer writes about the upcoming column in Parade magazine by O’Reilly entitled, “What President Obama Can Teach America’s Kids.”
Krakauer notes what many O’Reilly critics refuse to admit, that even though he’s a conservative he’s not a republican party shill.
For those who are absolutely floored, you probably don’t watch enough of The O’Reilly Factor. The top-rated cable news host undeniably leans right, but by no means can be grouped with conservative Sean Hannity or pseudo-conservative Glenn Beck.
O’Reilly’s upcoming piece is about president Obama’s background and what that should mean to America’s kids:
What he has achieved in his 48 years is simply astounding. Consider the odds. The United States is a nation of more than 300 million citizens. Only one person is currently the Commander in Chief. That man had no fatherly guidance, is of mixed race, and had no family connections to guide him into the world of national politics. That adds up to one simple truth that every American child should be told: “If Barack Obama can become the President of the United States, then whatever dream you may have can happen in your life.”
The O’Reilly piece has many on the left stunned. Their knee-jerk response is to attribute cynical motivations on O’Reilly’s part for writing it. However, the stunned reaction by many on the left only proves what most of us have always known — many critics have never even watched his show.
The only exposure many lefty critics have to O’Reilly is from 2-minute clips taken out of context from repugnant hate sites like Media Matters or Daily Kos.
Anyone who actually watches O’Reilly night after night knows that he takes heat from both sides and often takes positions at odds with the right.
His program is not and has never been about ideology, but simply about cutting through the bull and getting down to the facts.
As for the O’Reilly article itself, I can’t imagine anyone on the left or the right disagreeing with it.
No honest person can say he or she is not inspired by the rise of Barack Obama. He had every disadvantage a person can have as a child including being of mixed race, but overcame all of it to become our nation’s 44th President. How can you not admire that?
Having said all that, his policies are still a disaster that will destroy our country and rob us of our liberty — but, more on that later.

Mediaite Joins Daily Kos In Blaming Glenn Beck For Causing Violence
Mediaite is the new website created by MSNBC left-winger Dan Abrams that covers media related gossip, etc. So far, the site has been pretty fair but I guess it was only a matter of time until it devolved into yet another dishonest, progressive cesspool.
Proof of this comes from a phony story by Steve Krakauer with the blaring headline “Tipping Point? Glenn Beck Fan Arrested With Guns and Ammo.”
The NY Post is reporting that a single mother was arrested with guns and ammo in her car for allegedly scouting out and taking pictures of an Air National Guard base in the Hamptons.
Not surprisingly, the nutty left wingers at Daily Kos went to work scouring the woman’s background looking for some kind link to right-wing “extremism.”
Low and behold they discover on her MySpace page that she’s a fan of Glenn Beck! Ha! There’s the connection! She posted a clip of Glenn Beck on her Myspace page which obviously means Glenn is to blame.
As someone who’s never missed an episode of Glenn Beck since he came to Fox News, I don’t recall him ever advocating violence or implying that he was advocating for violence against anyone.
Furthermore, Glenn Beck has done nothing but praise military and law enforcement and often has them as guests on his show.
It’s complete lunacy to suggest that anything Glenn Beck has ever said would drive someone to case a military base and plot violence.
Making that kind of phony connection is something to be expected from the scumbags at Daily Kos. They’ll say anything and make up anything to further their destructive progressive agenda.
I just find it disappointing that Mediaite decided to run with the phony Kos narrative and pretend as if it’s a legitimate issue.
Steve Krakauer really is a sleazy asshole for writing such a pathetic story. He talks about Glenn Beck’s “dangerous side” like when he called Obama a racist last week. It’s apparently fine for the left to call anyone on the right a racist for anything at anytime, but to call the president a racist — that’s dangerous talk.
Krakauer goes on to label the woman arrested as a “deranged Beck viewer” which is laughable. How do we know she wasn’t a deranged “Oprah” viewer? Maybe a deranged “American Idol” viewer? Or how about a deranged “24” viewer?
The truth is that Krakauer and his Kos buddies can’t stand the fact that Fox News exists. If it weren’t for Fox, Obama’s plans to turn America into a socialist utopia would go completely unchallenged.
Beck, O’Reilly, Hannity, and a few others are the sole voices of opposition in an otherwise compliant Obama media.
The rank hypocrisy of people like Steve Krakauer and his ilk is breathtaking. During the Bush years, Keith Olbermann took over-the-top rhetoric to new heights with his anti-Bush screeds.
He called the president a liar, a fascist, a killer, and told the American people in a dark and brooding tone that Bush was illegally wiretapping the entire country. He repeatedly told his viewers that Bush had “blood on his hands” for the war in Iraq and called him a “pathological liar.”
If Glenn Beck’s message can drive someone to violence, then so can Keith Olbermann’s.
