Comments on: UPDATE III: Demonizing Due Process (O’REILLY & O’BAMA SITTING IN A TREE…) https://barelyablog.com/demonizing-due-process/ by ilana mercer Tue, 17 Jun 2025 00:05:42 +0000 hourly 1 By: Robert Glisson https://barelyablog.com/demonizing-due-process/comment-page-1/#comment-10944 Sun, 20 Jun 2010 13:26:59 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=26527#comment-10944 As a kid in school, I read the history of 1920-1945 in Central and Western Europe and poor as the schoolbooks were and only being about ten years old, I remember thinking ‘How could anyone believe in phony money, propaganda of hate and stupid politics like that?’ Brown shirts used to stand out in front of a Jew’s store and discourage customers, now the O’Reilly’s spout the same message from behind a desk. Self Righteousness pushed to hate. Nothing has changed except the technology. When my brother told me that Europe was totally socialistic and we needed to forget it and concentrate on keeping our country a bastion of freedom; I told him he needed to go back to school; because, that’s only partly true. I later realized after he calmed down that he is in school, not libertarian school, but O’Reilly is his schoolmaster; closet socialist trainee.

BP may have tort liabilities but that is different than the President deciding on an ad hoc damage award by himself. I have to say that Levin’s rant is hard on the ears.

BP is not a sympathetic victim but neither were the Scottsboro boys 80 years ago. When one stands up for rights vs. government, it must be for the non-appealing victims of government as well as the appealing ones.

I can’t stand to watch him because he is so arrogant and stupid. For some reason I was surprised when I heard him say it was ok for the Obama administration to go after BP with the full force of the Federal Government. Of course, I should not have been surprised at all. The man is a complete ass and a phony.

Apparently Mr. O’Reilly is willing to waive due process in this case. I guess there must be some fine print in the Constitution I missed about big oil companies being deprived of due process!

I am very disappointed but not surprised. It is fitting that the Republican party is run by a coward because it sure is full of them.

marginally more honest believers in big government socialism vs. hypocrites who on rare occasions will emit healthier rhetoric but who also deliver big government socialism. Only one item is on the (statist) menu but you can choose between mustard and ketchup!

Joe Barton called it like it was and in doing so scared the bejeebers out of the Republican brain trust. They are so afraid of upsetting “moderates” and falling on the wrong side of the liberal media they forget about the “non moderate” Americans out there who actually care more about the country than they do about the opinion of the Democrat party or their lickspittle lackeys in the media. (Lickspittle lackeys. I stole that from Mercer a long time ago and try to use it from time to time. I would claim it as my own but she would probably blow my cover.)
