I don’t know what happened. Supply-side Jesus (the GOP invention, not the real one) must have been busy denying medical care to a leper, or he would have intervened. For a brief moment in time, Tom “Hypocritical Oath” Coburn told the truth.
On Tuesday night’s installment of "The O’Reilly Factor", Fox News host Bill O’Reilly went after Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) for a comment Coburn made at a town hall meeting in Oklahoma earlier in the month. Coburn shot down speculation that imprisonment was one of the consequences for those who chose not to purchase health insurance, telling the crowd: "The intention is not to put anybody in jail. That makes for good TV news on FOX but that isn’t the intention."
O’Reilly didn’t take too kindly to that sort of criticism of his employer, especially coming from a conservative like Coburn. So O’Reilly defied Coburn to name a single person on Fox News who had ever said such a thing. And then O’Reilly dropped the gauntlet, saying, "We researched to find out if anybody on Fox News had ever said you’re going to jail if you don’t buy health insurance. Nobody’s ever said it."
Really? Coburn said he was pretty sure he’d heard it before. And of course, he had…
Inserted from <Huffington Post>
Of course he had indeed. Here’s video to prove it:
Warning! The following video contains Faux Noise!
Barf bag required!
Considering the flood of lies you just saw gushing from so many mouths, is it any wonder that I call Faux Noise the GOP Reichsministry of Propaganda?
And don’t worry about the Hippocratic Hypocrite. According to Think Progress, Coburn went back on Faux Noise, kowtowed to Neil Cavuto, admitted that he has not been “exactly fair”, and said he is glad Faux Noise is there. Setting an example for GOP sheeple, Coburn returned to the fold and said Ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a! Surely he has been declared fit to resume goose-stepping.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
That’s why we call him O’Lielly. Come on TC, get with the program. And no, I didn’t watch the vid – can’t stand that asshole. Too bad Coburn didn’t bring the tape with him and say “Really, let’s go to the tape….”
Lisa, the vid contained very little O’Lielly, but it had amost every anchor and commentator they have parroting the lie.
Wow, I’m glad I’m not a member of a party where you’re not allowed to have your own opinions.
I’m glad you’re not too. You’re a keeper.
Fox News Group Leads in Dumbing Down America http://glossynews.com/entertainment/television/200912200256/fox-news-beats-street-q4-dumbing-down-america-street-expectations/
Welcome, DJ, and thanks for the link. Stay a while.
The only things certain in this life are death, taxes, and that Fox (the Fiction News Network) will always lie and distort.
Jack, if you’re rich enough, taxes are uncertain.
Love the picture of a sheep standing in front of the TV set with Fox News blaring. Multiply that sheep by tens of millions, and you have the Republican Party.
Thou shalt steal, Tom. 🙂
Fox can say what they want, because their audience only hears and believes what they want. Not going to let a little thing like facts interrupt my belief system.
The sad things is, using Faux as their only source, lies is ALL they hear.
Who Knew?? Fox would lie? Never!!
Ptuiffffffphyyt!! 😉
