O'Reilly, West, Smiley...A Virgo/Gem/Virgo Debate
..."Where am I going wrong?" he (O'Reilly) asked. West said that his "lens" was wrong, and that he was overlooking the widening economic inequality in America. "The oligarchs and plutocrats that you tend to want to promote rather intensely [are] not only doing well but been too greedy!" he said. "I don't think I'm promoting anybody who's doing untoward things," O'Reilly said. "We're talking about chronic excess!" West responded, causing O'Reilly to try to shut him up. "No filibustering here," O'Reilly snapped.
He said that what Smiley and West seemed to want was for the government to "forcibly seize" money from the rich and give it to the poor. "That's socialism and that's not going to work here," he concluded.
"It wasn't socialism when we bailed out the banks in the first place?" Smiley said. He started to say that O'Reilly had been "right" in a recent attack on Stanley O'Neal, the former head of Merril Lynch. O'Reilly misheard him.
"Lied about it?!" he thundered. "What do you mean i lied about it?!"
"I said you were right!" Smiley said. "R-i-g-h-t!" O'Reilly apologized, and assured his guests he was "calm." Things got a lot less calm right afterwards, though. Smiley asked why O'Reilly was focusing on O'Neal, one of the few black CEOs of a major firm, causing O'Reilly to shout, "we treat everybody the same here!" Smiley disagreed, and wondered why, when Occupy Wall Street protesters were being arrested, no "bankster" had gone to jail "to pay for his crimes."
"They didn't violate any laws!" O'Reilly said, prompting Smiley and West to essentially lose it. "OOOOOHHHHHHHH!" they both said together. "How do you know?!" West yelled. "There's been no investigations! Why would you say something like that?!"
"All right, knock it off!" O'Reilly fired back. "...You don't have any evidence!" West countered that, with no investigation, no criminality could be proven. "You take your law school at Princeton, you develop an illegality and I will put it on the air," O'Reilly said.

WTF?
Sooooo just because there hasn't been an investigation to prove that bankers have "violated any laws" means that they haven't committed any crimes? Aaaaaalrighty then.
If the GOP has tied Obama's hands at every turn, how are we to know if some of the policies he's tried to employ would actually work?
O'Reilly and Fox are clever. Two AA men of Smiley's and West' stature, who have recently spoken out against Obama's "failure" in addressing/resolving the issue surrounding the high unemployment factor within the Black community, would surely be invited to share their "thoughts" in front of O'Reilly's conservative right audience.

You just gotta love it. A Virgo going up against another Virgo and a Gem. Hah! All that Mercury in da house. Hands down Virgos and Gems have the best debates, arguments, conversations, EVER, and this one did NOT disappoint.
Hahahaha!!!! True that.
Lol VV that was awesome.
Special lol@ OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LMAO
I love how Bill mentions that 15% or the population lives below the poverty line and 9% of americans are substance abusers but conveniently excludes how many out of that 9% are actually below the poverty line and instead tries to imply all addicts are within the 15% with a vague statement that "most" can't work. I would love to see how many of the substance abusers are over paid wall street coke heads with enough disposable income to support a designer drug addiction.
One of my best friends is a gemini and we argue/debate for hours and hours about everything down to the smallest detail. Oh those Gems—
PS: Also, I wish I could stab Bill O'Reilly in the face

OMFG! The "ooooooohhhhhhh" part was soooooo funny! I loved it!
Very excellent point about the substance abusers, who many of are rich/wealthy "functioning" addicts.
And many addicts DO work (and some even make decent money) but have questionable spending habits.
The Gem/Virgo talks are insane (to the point where you want to strangle one another), and it's a no brainer that Smiley and West have sort of embarked on this "crusade" together. This isn't the first appearance that they've done side by side and I'm sure it won't be the last. Could you imagine what their own little debates are like?
It's always fun to see Bill get riled up and I think he thought he was gonna hand them their asses but--NOT!

1. O'reilly isn't conservative..he's a moderate. trust me i know the difference because I'm conservative voting for a conservative black man in nov. 2012.
2. the crimes with the banks are related to the Chairman of the Fed, Bernanke, who gave billions of dollars to oversea banks. I'm for ending the Fed. however, there is corruption in any business/corporation etc. you will never completely wipe that out. What system is better? China, Russia, Cuba? Please do tell. The stupid "occupy wallstreet" mobs aren't about wallstreet. Have you ever heard some of these people? I have. They are without a doubt some of the biggest "stuck on stupid" unemployed losers I've ever heard speak. Btw, this mob is funded by George Soros,anti American (Moveon.org) liberal POS.
3. i notice you never seem upset about the most corrupt administration in US history. somehow government gets a free pass? Fast and Furious, Solyndra, Czars (unconstitutional), Obamacare, Waivers for Obamacare, Tarp, GM/Crsyler bailouts, Stimulus money, phoney jobs bills, suing a state for trying to protect it's borders, an attorney general who refuses to indict the new black panthers for threating assualt at voting locations, class warfare, going to war without Congressional approval....on and on and on....hech, the guy isn't even an American. don't tell me he showed his BC last April. that was NOT his real BC. many experts have concluded without a shadow of a doubt it's a total fraud. btw, how do you feel about Obama spending tax $ $ $ $ on high paid attorneys to block any disclosure of all his school documents, his medical records and travel documents? McCain was fully vetted. So have other Presidents. If Obama is who he claims to be, why hide all his records?
4. another fact. you claim Obama has had his "hands tied at every turn by the GOP". Really? The first two years of his administration he had BOTH houses of Congress. it was only last Nov.2010 when the GOP took over the house of reps. Prior to that, Obama got want he wanted. He shoved his illegal Obamacare down the public's throats and behind closed doors. He spent trillions of $ $ $ on bailouts. He got tons of regs through that are killing small business. the last thing Obama has had was any one standing in his way until last nov. and God willing, this nov. will be another landslide that removes the most corrupt, deceitful, and socialist/marxist President this country has ever seen.

He's also a racist fuck. Kill Bill.

I'm a peace-loving gal...but I'll pretend not to notice if you'll stab him in the face for the good of humanity.

WTF? Did I shoot your dog? Cut the nasty condescending tone.
I did not say that O??Reilly was a conservative. I said his audience was. Read again.
As for the OWS protesters, the ones I have heard speak do not strike me as —stuck on stupid?? as you so graciously put it (sorry), but rather just regular everyday folk who like many of the rest of us, have serious concerns as it relates to foreclosures, lobbying, workplace discrimination, corrupt politics, a crappy legal system, and all of the other horrible things in our society that I'm sure you are aware of.
And I'm not about to tell you a damn thing about April, as I have come to realize that many already have their minds made up, and are strong in their conviction. If you don't believe that Obama's Birth Cert. is real...guess what? IDGAS. I know what I believe, and from here I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.
Yes, there is corruption everywhere. I know this (but thanks for thinking you were teaching me something, anyway). I was merely stating that just because there has not been an investigation does not mean that crimes have not been committed, or did you not read that either?

^^^ I don't consider Smiley and West Uncle Toms but, to each his own. Nevertheless, it was interesting to see them go at it, and if you watched the video, you can't deny it was quite entertaining, and dare I say, a tad funny.

Virgo Rising and Virgo Sun, do these two go hand in hand with each other? I understand that rising signs have to do with how others percieve you at first glance. So are they basically the same both sun and rising or is it split up between the two?
