flackpc's Full Review: Bill O'Reilly - The No Spin Zone: Confrontations W...
The “No Spin Zone” name is simply too perfect! From the get-go, Bill O’Reilly has said that he takes no prisoners, whites, blacks, Christians, Jews; Republicans, Democrats, Independents; pro war, anti war, but the real spin sits with the people who dislike him. Why do people dislike Bill O’Reilley? He’s all about the truth, and the truth sometimes hurts.
I started watching Bill about two years ago on FOX NEWS. Fox news, you have to hand it to them. They really mix it up and kick fair and balanced news to a new level putting CNN to shame. Adding O‘Reilley back sometime, propelled FOX NEWS to the top and other shows like Hannity and Colmes contributed to the fanfare. Bill writes in pretty basic form, to the point without trying to confuse you. It’s simple. He lays out the people, organizations and businesses that has crossed his way or in most cases haven’t crossed his way. Once again, Bill is for the truth. He takes on the ACLU like it’s your worst nightmare and he he should. The ACLU has to be taken on and Bill is the ONLY one who will. For some reason the words “Civil Liberties” scares people and that makes people afraid to take them on in fear that they will be attacked or politically assassinated. Does Bill fail? Nope, he cuts to the chase immediately in this book. Detail explanation of the ACLU’s backing of the “NAMBLA” If case you have no idea what that is, it’s the: North American Man/Boy Love Association
Ok, so right about now you are wondering, “what the heck is that. This CAN’T be legal?” Well, this is a legal organization. In a world of pedophiles, child molesters and psysho’s the ACLU decides to defend it in litigation. Billy explains briefly, the history surrounding recent litigation between the NAMBLA and a family wanting to sue the organization because a man who raped their child for days on end, then murdered the child was a member of NABMLA and had sexual pictures on his home PC and magazines with NAMBLA all over his house. Bill has a point, and that is, why would ACLU protect this? Well, it’s all about freedom of speech and all that good stuff that is suppose to be protecting our kids. Well, this infuriated me when reading this. I too, was unaware of this nonsense organization. A) How is it legitimate? B) Why are they allowed to exist and of all things, have a website with nude pictures? C) Why is the ACLU defending this? I suppose, after thinking long and hard about this, it doesn’t come as a complete shock. After all, the ACLU isn’t tilted to the right, in regards to family values and conservatism. But that’s a different issue. But they are a liberal organization that needs to be questioned.
Jesse Jackson. Crook or good man? Maybe both. Bill wants to know, so he invited him on his show. Does he enter the “No Spin Zone?” Does he go on the “Radio Factor?” Nope, of course not. Why? It’s simple, really. Jesse Jackson has a lot to account for, the likes of adultery, illegal money donations. He’s owns a non-profit organization, but yet he pays all his workers between $68,000-$200,000/yr in salary. How is THAT possible? Bill wants to know, but won’t get any answers because Jesse Jackson will not talk to Bill. Neither will Hillary Clinton. Why? The truth hurts. Let’s say, Hillary were to enter the “No Spin Zone”, what would happen? Bill would open with “How come, after McDougal was found dead, all the documents in McDougal’s office were shredded? Why did you order staff members to go to his office and rid the place of all evidence? Why would you have to shred all documents? Why do they have your finger prints?
The theme of this book is obvious, those that won’t talk to Bill, obviously have something to hide. And they KNOW that if they enter the “No Spin Zone” they will be asked to answer without them being allowed to “spin” out of it. OK, so why does Hillary and Jesse go on, say, Barbara Walters, Katie Courac’s TODAY SHOW and Good Morning America? Again, it’s simple. They will ask canned questions that are prepped with canned responses. You’ll never hear a “rape charge” question pop up on “The Today Show” or “WhiteWater” or “Illegal Campaign Finance” on Nightline or CBS news with Dan Rather. Ok, so who does bill write about that he HAS talked to? Plenty, and here are a few. Al Sharpton, Susan Surandon, ACLU and many others.
Bill O’Reilley writes in a slightly bizarre way. His books are setup with a brief look at what you are going to read in the following three to five pages. He sets up the chapter and then jumps right in. This book is written somewhat like a transcript and it’s ok to read but I prefer standard chapter by chapter page to page. It’s important to point out that I suppose it has to be written like this simply because it’s content is 85% referencing quotations and snippets from the television show the “No Spin Zone”
I loved this book to death. In all honesty, I read it on the way to Las Vegas. I loved it, loved it.
He s back, and he s madder than ever. In The No-Spin Zone, O Reilly attacks a host of big topics, from the death penalty to Medicare, detailing what t...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
