Bill O'Reilly: Interrupting Freedom
December 16, 2011

By Bill O'Reilly

As we reported, the Occupy Wall Street radicals are not interested in the free exchange of ideas. They are totalitarians. It's their way or the highway and that, of course, is dangerous.

This week, Newt Gingrich appeared at the University of Iowa and so did some Occupiers.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

NEWT GINGRICH, GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I want to start by drawing two distinctions. First I never...

OWS PROTESTER: Mic check.

OWS PROTESTER: Mic check.

GINGRICH: What's wrong?

OWS PROTESTER: Mr. Gingrich, we are here to protest your speech today.

OWS PROTESTER: Mr. Gingrich, we are here to protest your speech today.

OWS PROTESTER: We object to your callous and arrogant attitude towards poverty and poor people. We cannot forget your continued vilification of poor people...

OWS PROTESTER: We cannot forget your continued vilification --

OWS PROTESTER: ...of poor people... and willing to work.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

So don't you just love that one loon yells a line and then all the other lemmings repeat it. Isn't that good? Unbelievable.

Now, Mr. Gingrich isn't alone. President Obama, Governor Christie of New Jersey, Karl Rove have all recently been shouted down by these idiots. But have you heard one condemnation of that from the far left? Just one? I haven't.

The point here is that radicals are dangerous. We said it before these Occupiers are going to hurt somebody. They are also being used as point people by some in the Democratic Party.

Recently Nancy Pelosi praised the Occupiers despite all the problems they are causing. So don't be surprised to see these loons in the upcoming presidential campaign disrupting the process.

Right now the Occupiers are dominated by professional agitators and anarchists. These people are not going to stop. They have no respect for freedom, no respect for due process, no respect for property and no respect for opposing points of view.

So the next time somebody praises the occupy movement, think about that. And that's "The Memo."

Pinheads & Patriots.

Comedian Dana Carvey may be the best impersonator... impersonator, I should say, in the country.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JAY LENO, HOST, NBC'S "THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO": How is Obama doing?

DANA CARVEY, COMEDIAN: Well, he's doing pretty good. He's doing pretty good.

The Republicans don't think the rich should pay their fair share. They want everybody to fend for themselves. They do. They do. They do. Now hold on, hold on. Let me finish. Let me finish. They want Grandma to operate on herself.

LENO: No, no, no.

CARVEY: Hold on, Jay. Let me finish my point. Let me finish. They want Grandma, who can't remember when to take her blood pressure pills, to remove her own gallbladder.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

O'REILLY: Close between Carvey and Darrell Hammond, as far as political impressions go. They're both patriots.
