SPECIAL REPORT
SPECIAL COMMENT - SOME BACKGROUND
Well here we go again another O'Reilly ambush, and charges of outrageous behavior by the "SELECTOR PROGRESSIVE'S" in Boulder High School.
In his Impact Segment on 5/30/2007 he did his little Power Point thing showing 6 slides which I have shown here in this post.
The full Transcript is about 30 pages long which you can read here. I've taken from the transcript the surrounding text to what O'Reilly used in his slides with the full CONTEXT in Blue and the portion O'Reilly used in his slides in Red.
It is by design that O'Reilly takes things out of context because first it will make his point and second he knows most people will not do any follow up, especially the TRUE O'Reilly believers.
Also before we get started I'd like to say that as I put this Post together I found that not only does he use creative editing while taking things out of context, he isn't worried about the order that he puts these slides in as long as it works to his advantage. I've numbered the six slides (1), (2), (3). . . (6) and labeled them as BO-IMAGE-01 and so on so that you can see the order he used the slides.
Also until I got a hold of the transcript all I had to go on was what I saw on the O'Reilly Show. So you can imagine my surprise what I discovered by reading the transcript and that is of the 30 pages of transcript 28 dealt with questions from the kids.
And finally read the very last question in the transcript and the response. Instead of this being something to be ashamed of the students at Boulder have taught us all something about learning and understanding. Something Bill O'Reilly will never understand, he's to busy SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL IN HIS ZONE.
BO-IMAGE-01
Joel Becker: Hi. My name is Joel Becker, and I'm a clinical psychologist. I'm going to ducktail off a little bit of what Andee said, but I think I'm going to go in a little bit of a different direction, because (1) I'm going to encourage you to have sex, and I'm going to encourage you to use drugs appropriately. (applause and cheering from audience) And why I'm going to take that position is because you're going to do it anyway. So, my, my approach to this is to be realistic, and I think as a psychologist and a health educator, it's more important to educate you in a direction that you might actually stick to. So I want to, I'm going to stay mostly today talking about the sex side, because that's the area I know more about.

But, they're tricky. And even through in your teens, even when your 16 and 17, you could have thousands of erections, sometimes 50 in a day, and you know because you counted (laughter from audience), [indecipherable phrase] the act of putting on a condom, for me at least, makes me lose my erection almost every time. (2) That's the thing they don't tell you about condoms. If you're lucky enough to get them on, and you still stay hard, it's hard to stay hard. (laughter from audience) And it doesn't feel as good. And sometimes you hurt the woman because you can't feel her, because you didn't know, when you were 16, that lubrication like KY helps you stay hard and makes her feel better. And I know how hard it is to talk like that to a girl. It's even hard now for me as an adult. So I don't know how it is for you to be able to say so.
BO-IMAGE-06
Joel Becker: I would add onto what Sanho said in terms of that same thing I was talking about, in terms of your emotional development. I mean, I agree with Sanho that the human animal has seemed to want to change its consciousness to some other consciousness since the beginning of time, and I think that people are going to continue to do that. But, I think we have to find a way for people to do that in the safest way possible-harm reduction. And there's no question that people's worlds are changed after their consciousness is changed. Well, you have to really sort of think, am I ready to have my world changed? I'm 14 years old. Maybe I'm not ready to see what one sees on LSD. Maybe I'm not ready to have the feelings that mescaline provides in my body, or ecstasy, because a lot of those feelings have to do with feelings of being out of control, and they can be very scary to a person who doesn't have a strong enough sense of themselves, and that's why people end up having bad trips at young ages. They're just not ready. As a psychologist, I know the history of the use of psychedelics. There's a very famous man named Timothy Leary at Harvard who did therapy with LSD. (6) Even today, there are psychiatrists who will do sessions under the influence of ecstasy. If I had some, maybe I'd do it with somebody, but I don't, (laughter from audience) you know. I haven't tried it but there are people that do it.
BO-IMAGE-05
Sanho Tree: Also, there's an unintended consequence, again, of abstinence-based models, particularly when they're combined with religious fundamentalism and indoctrination. If it works for you, well, great, it works for you. But what if it fails? What happens then to a person who perhaps may have made a mistake. We all make mistakes; this is how we learn. This is a very important way of learning, from mistakes. But you know, taking someone who may have made a mistake, and you make them feel much worse about themselves-that they have betrayed their covenant with God, that they're dirty, they're impure, something is wrong with them. It's a mistake. We all make mistakes. We all experiment. (5) It's very natural for young people to experiment with same-sex relationships. Perhaps you don't talk about it much. A lot of people experiment and never go on to become homosexual. They go on and lead very productive lives, etcetera, etcetera. Well, if you've had that indoctrination, you think, "Well, maybe there's something wrong with me. Maybe I've sinned, I'm dirty,"-all these other things that take a bad situation and make it much worse, in my opinion.
BO-IMAGE-03 / BO-IMAGE-04
Joel Becker: I would also vote for the legalization of most drugs. I think that we're missing a real opportunity here to regulate something in a way that will work a lot better. I happen to live in the state of California in the city of Los Angeles, which has been described as America's Amsterdam. We have legalized medical marijuana in the state of California. There are 110 marijuana clubs in the city of Los Angeles. There was an article on the cover of the Los Angeles Magazine that said "When Did LA Become, Like, the Capitol of Marijuana, Like, in the US?" And it is. (3) If you want to get marijuana in the city of Los Angeles, all you've got to do is go to a doctor who will write you a 'script. You go to a club. You go and you buy somewhat regulated production marijuana so you know you're not getting stuff with chemicals in it. (4) They not only sell marijuana, they sell hash, they sell baked goods. We have brownies, we have cookies, all the things you might want, so come on over. (laughter from audience)
Here are the two videos of the O'Reilly Factor that deal with this subject.
FIRST SHOW
SECOND SHOW
THE FULL TRANSCRIPT HERE:
here.THE DAILY CAMERA
If you have an open mind you will see these videos for what they are. . . CRAP. They are one more opportunity to for Bill O'Reilly to slam what he labels the SECULAR PROGRESSIVES.
There are so many lies and half truths in these pieces it hard to understand how the FOX NOISE folks let it on the air. At one point he calls out the Daily Camera a local Boulder News paper of not covering this story. Turns out THEY WHERE THE ONES THAT FIRST BROKE THIS STORY.
I think Billy must have read my Blog on 5/31/2007 titled FAIR, BALANCED AND STUPID. The post points out what a bunch of non-thinkers people that watch FOX really are because in the second tape Billy tells his audience just how smart they truly are for watching the Factor.
Do you ever wonder why it is Bill won't come clean with his little dance with one of his ex-producers but rather chose to pay her off to close the case. Was he just being a Secular Progressive back than?
Poor Billy to listen to him it sounds like the world is going to hell in a hand basket.
I've seen where some Boulder High students are trying to get a petition together to demand a full and formal apology from both The Fox News Corporation and Mr. William O'Reilly himself.
I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. NEVER, EVER.
