Even GOP Women Defend (Sort of) MoveOn Ad Against Bill O’Reilly

Fox News contributor Margaret Hoover and Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson dared to tell Bill O’Reilly on his show last night that they think the new MoveOn ad, “GOP War on Women,” will be effective. In the spot, various women read recent Republican comments on birth control and abortion, and conclude that “the GOP must have a serious problem with women, and until the Republicans get over their issues, we women have got a serious problem with the Republican Party.” 

After O’Reilly ran the latter part of the ad, Hoover said, “As a Republican, while I don’t like it, I actually think it is a hard-hitting and will be highly effective ad.” 

O’Reilly: But what sort of person would associate an entire political party with a few people’s opinions?

Hoover: …It’s not just a few people....

O’Reilly: I can’t believe you guys think it will be effective. What kind of moron would think that?

Hoover: Because we’re women, Bill.

O’Reilly: It has nothing to do with women.

Hoover: What?!

And so it went, until Bill came back to say, “I have to scold Hoover now.”

Even Carlson (who doesn’t seem to dumb herself down on the Factor as she does on her own Fox & Friends) looked like she wanted to scold Bill right back as she reminded him that Republicans are losing the war for women.

Here’s the O'Reilly segment (and the even better, extended version of the MoveOn ad below):  

Billshit O'Reilly is just the avatar of FOX news and its listening audience. That is, simply put, a bunch of old white guys who are losing their place in American society and cannot handle the loss.
Plus they are the prototypical examples of what is wrong with the US. We have allowed a minority of BULLIES to seize the controls. Stand up to an O'Reilly, a Christie and see how they will react.
Can you believe that the New Jersey WALRUS had the nerve to call a US Navy Seal a moron?
