Monday Nov. 7th – Bill O’Reilly held a quasi presidential forum which included an online voting poll. Mr. O’Reilly does not like Presidential candidate Ron Paul and has consistently attacked Dr. Paul with shallow ad hominem. During the Paul portion O’Reilly introduces Congressman Paul as ‘flamboyant’ and then poses the question ‘would you support a declaration of war against the terrorists?’ Paul replied ‘I introduced the Letters of Marque and Reprisal’. Mr. O’Reilly showed his ignorance of the constitutional measure for dealing with terrorist groups when continuing to push Dr. Paul on the subject.
After interviewing all of the candidates O’Reilly’s voting polls were conducted and Ron Paul won by a landslide but was disqualified since his supporters ‘slammed’ the polls. Then Bill told his audience ‘there’s not a chance in the world that he will be nominated for the Republican run at President Obama’.
According to O’Reilly slamming the poll means they (Paul supporters) put out an internet warning telling everyone to vote for Ron Paul in the polls and they didn’t even listen to the interview. Apparently Bill O’Reilly has the technology to know who is listening to all the radio stations across the country and penalized Dr. Paul because his supporters are organized by communicating about this event and the voting opportunity.
A firestorm has ensued on the internet which may cause blowback for Bill O’Reilly and his sponsors. 100’s if not 1000’s of people have commented in favor on Ron Paul on the official
