Bill O' Reilly

I know better than to try and talk with you when you're in one of your anti-whatever moods, Breuk. We'll agree to disagree on Jimmy. We already have.

Good luck getting votes with your campaign in 2012.

[Kwali]

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that you're kidding around and just being instigatory...

But I still don't see any real humor in it.

I agree

[Ozarks]

Carter is not a "bad" person but he is a prefect example why some people should NEVER be president.

BA,

Reading your article brought back lots of memories,all of them bad, about 99% of that article is true.

Defending his good works is one thing, defending his political judgment or presidency,is sad

I survived 4 years of JC in the White house and it was bad,real bad.

[graymatter]

Same here. Jimmy isn't dumb by any stretch, but he wasn't effective as a leader and he didn't do GI's any favors.

Granting amnesty (no consequence to your actions) to draft dodgers wasn't the right message and neither was his famous "Malaize" speach. It Typified his entire approach to leadership: Tell millions of people what's wrong with them.

He also did away with the GI bill (a spending program that was off the scale favorable in regard to the cost/benefit to our country and economy).

I do agree that the removal of the GI bill was a bad and destrutive move. I definitely agree that that, plus the holier-than-thou factor, would easily slot him into that category. I just needed specifics. I was a mere child when he was first in office, you see, and rather oblivious.

BG,

I know that the character of this man is very poor. You don't know me, but I can assure you that I can say this with certainty. I was a young adult in my mid-late 20's at the time that he held office.

Carter may well be a fine writer, and convincing debater, but he is very, very, misguided - and ignorant.

A much better man was Adlai Stevenson, who ran for president 20 years and more before Carter. The circumstances of his time were not in his favor, though, and he lost to Eisenhower twice. I was young, but my father, a powerful but self-controlled non-violent man, threw a couch pillow across the room after Ike won in 1956. The popular version of WWII vets voting for Eisenhower was not true. Many of them, including my dad, were not supportive of this, or any other, general. Richard Nixon referred to Stevenson as an "egghead" during the 1952 campaign- which was a compliment, considering the source.

[Ol Schwaggy Bastard]

I don't want a blatantly mean president, and if he cuts the phone lines on people with dissenting opinions, I can't imagine President O'reilly at press conferences. Or debates, for that matter.

[Spiritual]

Bill O'Reilly is a pathetic excuse for a man. I don't say this about very many people at all, seeing as how I'm all about peace and love.

Who exactly are these "socialist liberals" that I'm hearing about? I'd take a socialist liberal over a fascist conservative any day.

When Moslem terrorists in Iran ransacked the US embassy and kidnapped the ambassadors and marines he launched a ridiculous little invasion of a couple jets and helicopters that crashed and burned on landing. The US media blamed the Moslems. In fact, the reason the helicopters crashed and burned is that "Jimmuh" had defunded and shrunk the military to the point that the maintenance of the military hardware was unable to be done.

[/I]

Nonsense. The crashed because they collided. Even with our ridiculous military budget and 30 years of technical advances when two helicopters collide, they still crash. Funny how we aren't told that the shah was a dictator as brutal as saddam hussien, isn't it? Or that the people of iran overthrough him in the fifties, only to have him returned to power by a cia backed coup. Which was ran from the the US embassy, that's why the embassy was attacked in 79. Had an elected US president been overthrown by a pro-iranian dictator funded by the iranians, from their embassy, would you have been among those storming that embassy the next time we managed to get rid of that dictator?

And people buy into the bullshit story that we're invading Iraq because we want those poor people to have freedom and democracy. We're convinced they hate us only because they're jealous religious fanatics who don't love Jesus.

We can't imagine why someone like Hugo Chavez would get up in front of the U.N. and talk such trash just because we conspired to have him assassinated.

Like the great prophet John Lennon said 'Instant Karma's gonna get you.'
