O'Reilly, useful idiot, and some plain liars

This Just In ...  Useful Sometimes Idiot O'Reilly falsely claims Conn. was residence for Obama Sr.


In his viewer email segment Wednesday night, O'Reilly was asked: "What about Obama's Connecticut Social Security card? He never lived there."

O'Reilly responded: "Obama's father lived in Connecticut for several years, and sometimes the child gets the Social Security number based on the father's address."


  • The records indicate the number was issued between 1977 and 1979 (to applicant with Connecticut address), when Obama was between 16 and 18 years old and living in Hawaii.

  • The assertion that Obama is using a Social Security number issued to an applicant with a Connecticut address because his father lived in Connecticut can be traced back to a piece Carol Bengle Gilbert posted on the Yahoo blog "Associated Content."

  • In that piece, Gilbert claimed, without providing any documentation, that Barack Obama Sr. lived in Connecticut after divorcing Obama's mother.
Obama's Witch Doctor
It's hard to say whether Carol Bengle Gilbert is, like O'Reilly, just another misinformed blabber-mouthed guess-pert, or like Chiyome Fukino ( or Joshua Wisch of the Hawaii attorney general's office),  a bald faced liar providing on-demand services to the White House poseur.

  1. Heh. The lies have to get more and more complicated. And, as all of such things go, once it gets out of control, they have no idea where the lies end up going from day to day, as they have to make up new shit to cover the new holes.

    Now they have to invent a grandfather in Connecticut.

    What's next? Alien abduction?

  3. O'Reilly is a guy without much depth. He is a guy who can hold opposite opinions at different times because his ideas are based on a vague idea of the way things ought to be and what resonates in his mind at any particular moment.

    It is okay to change your mind over time but you should always be able to state what caused the change,

  4. His audience is old women. His success is built on pandering to them. That's why his schtick is what it is.

  5. Hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but F&B O'Riley is a prevaricator of the first water. He loved the G. Bush papers and hated the Swift Boat guys. Another dirty rotten lying media sombitch. We don't like him so much, do we?
