O‘Reilly Tries to Give Stewart a Lesson on Big Gov’t: ‘Are You Ever Going to Wise Up?’

Bill O’Reilly is not afraid to confront those who disagree with them. And as a former teacher, he’s also not afraid to try and teach them a lesson. That’s what he did last night on the “Daily Show” with host Jon Stewart.

In an appearance to promote his new book, “Killing Lincoln,” that really wasn’t about promoting his book at all, O’Reilly went head-to-head with Stewart on high taxes, government efficiency, and even $16 muffins. There were plenty of money quotes, but halfway through the interview O’Reilly asked Stewart, “Are you ever going to learn?” Stewart responded, “Teach me, professor.” And he tried, with both men getting in their playful jabs.

Watch the government lesson below:

      Stewart, besides being a professional idiot, “IS” a socialist. Folks have got to past this notion that ‘hollywood’ people are just like you and me. They aren’t. FAR more ‘hollywood’ types are communists (outright) than the general population demographic. That is a polluted mindset. They don’t mind your money in their pocket. But, they really want socialism for all.

      I suppose you think little children swearing or holding a cigarette is funny as well. But when they grow to the teens and do it for real…it’s not so funny. This is all about making a living but on which side do you stand, much like raising a child? Do you sit in the chair and laugh or work hard at raising a morally productive future?

      I‘ve never seen Stewert’s show so I can’t speak to his comedy talent. Since he is communist I can say I quit finding any humor in it given they’re attacking our nation. Bill O’Reilly on the other hand needs to wise up himself before lectureing others. Bill constantly reports on topics Glenn has already pointed uot to us here, or told us was coming months ago. Then he tries to make them his own as though he is the first to break the story. Not cool Bill.

      Bill has a show that is on the right time at night. Let him swap that time slot for a show in Gretta’s time slot and he would disappear off the radar. Really, I would rather watch an idiot like Bob Beckel. At least Bob is an entertaining pinhead.

      You can find out thru internet research or from people relating what he said.

      I first came aware of Stewart from a person (20 something) at work, who watched him for comic relief. That is how he got his news.

      “Stewart generally agreed but described his political affiliation as ”more socialist or independent“ than Democratic” – wiki

      I hope that clears up that mystery for you.

      I almsot forgot how this works. Anyone who disagrees with you is suddenly a Socialist…That‘s like me calling you a racist because you have a different point of view from me and I’m Mexican. You could actually try to study socialism. If any socialism exist within our system at all, it’s called Social democracy. Countries like Denmark, Sweden, Finland, all operate under this form of socialism. Stop trying to associate some of the current policies with full-blown Leninism, or Marxism and check your facts.

      Ruler4You said “Stewart, besides being a professional idiot, “IS” a socialist.”

      Then he said ” Folks have got to past this notion that ‘hollywood’ people are just like you and me. They aren’t. FAR more ‘hollywood’ types are communists (outright) than the general population demographic”

      It is easy to conflate marxists, socialist & anarchists.

      Many of the people professing to be one of them also profess to the others as well. They are really not sure where they fit on the continuum. I have heard people say they were a marxist & anarchist with my own ears. They were very educated leftists working on post bachelor degrees. It is really hard to get into the working world when you can stay in academia on scholarship or as an graduate assistant.

      I personally know a “former” communist and they told me they were taught that it was okay for people to make different wages based on their job. It had nothing to do with their needs. That was eye opening. However the communist system they came from died leaving the more equal animals, pigs, in charge as an oligarchy. Funny how that always works out that way. And the communist system was not replaced by a socialist one. That is funny too.
      There are so many variations of socialist that most people know what they are talking about specifically least of all the left.
      I also note that Sweden became less socialist because too many piglets were suckling off of mother governme

      Stewart is not funny. He is indeed a socialist who makes millions off a capitalist system. Actually I agree with Ron Paul that it’s a corporate system as the Government continues to do bailouts and makes all these subsidies handing millions of dollars to companies so that they can grow larger as small businesses struggle, and in return companies give millions of dollars to politicians for their ad campaigns but that is beside the point.

      In this nation people like Jon Stewart and Micheal Moore have gotten rich, and they are free to their own opinions, but indeed the founding fathers would be rolling in their graves if they saw successful people like those socialists complaining about the capitalist system which works much better than Communism. If communism worked than why aren’t millions of people flocking to get into China, Russia, North Korea, or even Cuba? It‘s because those country’s SUCK and have no FREE SPEECH that is why!

      Bill O’Reilley is just as bad as the leftists to say he would be willing to pay more taxes. The reason our great country broke off from England was because of the high tax rates and Bill is smart enough to know that. I think it is safe to say that O’Reilley is a classic democrat but not like the now common socialist democrats that have taken over the government.

      Bill is funny. Stewart can occasionaly be funny. I don’t think Stewart is a communist or socialist. Stewart is just a child who has not yet progressed past the level of a rebellious teenager. Since the 60′s it has been popular to replace seriousness with rebellion. Stewart is a nihilist. He believes that life has no meaning. He believes that nothing he does matters. As a result, he will say or do anything that makes him feel good, just like teenager. We have a nation full of adult children like Stewart.

      Man some people on this site have a stick where it doesn’t belong. Just because Jon Stewart is a Liberal doesn‘t mean he can’t be funny. He’s actually hilarious, even though I disagree with him politically on pretty much everything. Plus I met him in a shop down in NYC once and he was a bit of a douche when I tried to say hello. But to say he’s not funny is just dumb, because he is.
      Plus he gets props for being the ONLY one in the media to call out his brethren on blacking out Ron Paul, who is by far the most conservative candidate in the GOP race!

Tell me what other companies could do the same job in that part of the world. Or would want to. Did they even bid? Some soldiers who were there when Kuwaiti companies were executing contracts to provide logistical support felt like they were having their health put in jeopardy by contractors before American contractors took over. They didn’t trust the potable water or the food. Was it perfect afterwards? No, but is was a helluva a lot better. I would like to see you go head to head with someone who spent 3 tours in Iraq. Tell them about how bad American contractors were. Some American companies, which are not oil companies have been working in the Middle East for a long time for oil companies or on infrastructure projects. They know the area.

      In June 2008, Charles M. Smith, the senior civilian Defense Department official overseeing the government’s multibillion-dollar contract with KBR during the early stages of the war in Iraq said he was forced out of his job in 2004 for refusing to approve $1 billion in questionable charges to KBR. Smith refused to approve the payments because Army auditors determined that KBR lacked credible records to support more than $1 billion in spending. Smith stated, “They had a gigantic amount of costs they couldn’t justify.“ He said that following his action he was suddenly dismissed and according to media ”his successors — after taking the unusual step of hiring an outside contractor to consider KBR’s claims — approved most of the payments he had tried to block.”

      Of course there is also KBR’s shoddy electrical work in Iraq that lead to the of several US Soldiers and the story of Jamie Leigh Jones. Yeah, the so called scandels you list are bush league compared to what Cheney and his cronies did.

      You cannot ‘delete’ my voice. If you stand up for Bill O’Reilly, you are a bigger idiot than he is. Say what you want, but ATLEAST JON Stewart lets his guess speak instead of cutting them off before a point is made.
      He claims he is the voice of the american people, and the american people are struggling. Nobody wants to pay taxes, but his snobbish on the subject is indicative to what the Republican Party has become. His “take my ball and go home” is now considered american exceptionalism in most of your books.

      I am a registered republican and I refuse to play stoop to the new status quo. Fact is, you had almost 3 years now to get your candidate prepped and learn their policies, and what have you done? You put all your eggs in the basket’s of the non-existant candidates. Donald Trump, Bobby Jindal, Jeb Bush, Sarah Palin, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, and now Herman Cain is the flavor of the week, and they mostly got your support for their harsh rhetoric. You had a chance to s***, now get off the pot.
      One more thing, it makes me sick when you folks beat down the rights of young americans because they are out using their freedom of speech. You cheer on cops to bash their heads in, now how is that better than any communist country? You older folks had YOUR freedom of speech, but now it should be suppressed because the youth are “marxist, socialist, communist, etc.”. No, they are AMERICANS.

      I am not a big fan of John Stewart but he does have a good side, before Walter Reed closed he treated 100s of wounded soldiers to a fine evening of entertainment and dinner on more than one occasion. He has also used his personal funds to help quite a few wounded warriors to upgrade their wheelchairs to lighter easier to manage models. His politics may stink but he does have a compassionae soul. I know this is a fact because he assisted one of my best friends in obtaining an upgraded wheel chair that would better suit his needs on a day to day basis.

    Mmmmm, I quit watching O’Reilly after he tried to get an innocent person killed by using his show to convince the world they were guilty of a crime that had not even gone to trial yet…. Innocent until proven Guilty…. That is a principle we live by here in America… And those in the media who abuse their position by using their status to influence the outcome of a Trial By Jury are unprincipled in at least one area of their lives… I truly think the hypocrisy of Bill O’reilly forgetting that everyone is Innocent until proven Guilty and then asking if others are pinheads or patriots for doing stupid or silly things, was the straw that broke this viewers back…. The issue, for me, was not the arrested persons guilt or innocence… It was the fact that so many in the media forgot a principle of America, that has been a staple of what separates America from the rest of the world… Here we are Innocent until Proven Guilty by a Jury of our Peers… And that is one of many Ideas, with an underlying principle, that makes America a great nation… Honesty, Integrity, Humility, and Faith, are just a few of the principles that fall under the idea of “Innocent Until Proven Guilty”.
    Now, all that being said, I do acknowledge the responsibility of the media to put forth information on controversial issues and news stories… I also acknowledge the difficulty someone (like O’Reilly or any one else in the media) may have when talking about stories they are passionate about…

And that is a line of thought that led me to understand where so many in the media went wrong on this issue of “Holding the Court of Public Opinion” on T.V., before many cases go to trial… I hope that many will see that their shows really can have an influence on juries that may be chosen for future trials… And that is not right…

      Innocent until proven guilty? One example of the erosion of that principle is the rules and regulations, not to mention unreasonable search and seizure of every trucker on the road. Ask any random, typical American and he‘ll tell you how he agrees with what’s being done. He‘ll go on and on about how much safer he’s been told he is because of the freedom taken from truck drivers. He won‘t see that his allowing and supporting the loss of someone else’s freedom will lead to the loss of his freedom. And he’s probably never heard the Benjamin Franklin quote, “He who would exchange freedom for security deserves neither freedom nor security.” He won’t understand my reference when I say. “Thanks for the Republic, Mr. Franklin. I‘m so sorry we’re not keeping it.”

      Truckers have to pull into those infernal weigh stations several times a day and prove they’re not guilty of being overweight. They can also be stopped at said weigh station for any number of frivolous reasons and subjected to a comprehensive “inspection.” Truckers have to account for every minute of their lives and be able to prove they haven‘t driven for longer than they’re “allowed” and that they have taken the required sleeping break, etc. and, basically, used each minute in each 24 hour period in a way “approved” by your representatives in the government.

      I agree with Jeff Benton. We are entirely about innocent until proven guilty, period. There can be no alternative if we are to remain the people and the country we are and were founded upon. I, too, believe Casey Anthony is guilty as sin of at the very least substantial child neglect, and most likely murder (or possibly manslaughter). However, her day in court was important the same as OJ’s was. I didn’t agree with, nor like, the outcome of either, yet we have to retain this system.

      I, too, still watch OReilly. I think he has some wrong ideas and makes mistakes like anyone else, so I don’t believe I should hold him to some higher standard than others. Likewise, I watch GBTV. I’m sure Glenn makes his share of mistakes as well, but I have a hunch he’d tell you that, too, and admit to every one of them.

I think if they would play fair and actually be willing to sit down to HONEST and OPEN debate then this would be a totally different country. But the point is, that’s not what the politicians that are running the government want. They want chaos and for us to be against eachother so they can step in and “save the day” and take over. I applaud Bill O’Reiley for continuing to battle these pundits on their own ground. The more the message of small or even smaller government gets out there in ways like this the more seeds are planted that Obama, Soros and his cronnies that are making a “KILLING” (hint hint) off of our demise and then the more people wake up and start to mature a little bit and realize it‘s not right to take anyone’s stuff just because we don’t have it and we want it too like a bunch of pre-schoolers.

The only conclusion I can come up with on why you folks don’t like Ron Paul, is because you think that gvmt is what makes this country great, well its not, the people make america great! Don’t be scared to be responsible for yourself, and your actions, it will actually result in a more civilized and responsible society. Not to mention the examples we would be setting for ALL other nations. FREE THE PLANET!

    Jon Steward is nothing more than a left based hack.

      No, Stewart is a commedian. I think he’s funny. Sad thing is a lot of progressives actually think he’s a news guy.

      Stewart USED to be funny. He is now a legend-in-his-own-mind who has usurped his entertainment platform to inflict his politics on his followers. He pretends to remain above the fray and keep his self-imagined ‘street cred’ as a non-partisan observer by occasionally criticizing a patently ridiculous antic of the president. He would enjoy far more success if he really were such an observer rather than demeaning well more than half the population with flagrant insults to our intelligence.

    I don‘t know why we can’t just ban Stewart from broadcasting. He is the clearest agent of the Leftist Islamofascist agenda. He is also clearly a friend of the gay agenda as well. It’s just because some knucklehead thing he is funny that he is allowed to keep poisoning the hearts and minds of out youth. This is a dangerous thing to allow, soon they will allow Nazis and Pinkos talking to our high schoolers, then our tweens and so on, since they already allow them to preach to our College kids… AND WE PAY FOR IT with our taxes. We need to take our morals back, get this turkey off the air!

      Really? Ban Stewart? Besides the fact that that is scary and fascist,He is actually pretty funny sometimes and does some funny bits. Google the race card, or the Walmart union.

      PEIKKO is a troll right? Surely he’s not so stupid as to demand facism to protect us from facism? Next you’re going to tell me we have to abandon free market principles in order to save the free market.

    I rarely watch O’Reilly anymore because he gives a forum to frothing-at-the-mouth liberal pundits who otherwise would not be waisting our time- all in the interest of being “fair and balanced”.

      I can see that point.

      Especially that Fox goers out of its way to include the view points of the left & they are still considered partisan.

      So what is the point?

      But look at it this way. We’re not kool aid drinkers like enicom or the rest of the left.

      Just tiresome to hear it & dismiss it for the thousandth time because of the left’s obvious flaws.
