O'Reilly Attacks Wexler for Having Real Family Values

Bob Fertik — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:16:48 -0400

Bill O'Reilly is viciously attacking Rep. Robert Wexler (FL19) because he just discovered Wexler moved his young family from Florida to the DC area so he could actually practice family values, not betray them while hypocritically lecturing others about them.

Obviously O'Reilly's biggest problem is that he can't read, because Wexler explained his family's move in his book!

Bill O'Reilly is the last person who should be talking about family values after paying Andrea Mackris (right) as much as $10 million to settle her lawsuit for sexual harassment.

Apparently O'Reilly prefers Vito Fossella's version of family values: leaving his first family back home - and in the dark - so he could start a second family in DC!

Update 1: O'Reilly is on a jihad against Wexler because Wexler called FOX News racist. During tonight's attack, Juan Williams helpfully listed a few of FOX's racist actions like the Barack-Michelle "terrorist fist bump." Thanks for making our point, Juan!

Update 2: Wingnuts are screaming that Wexler is avoiding taxes by claiming his principal residence in Florida, not in Maryland. But guess what?

"NOT A PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE" is actually a significant thing. It means Wexler is paying the higher (non-resident) property tax rate in Maryland on his home there. This distinction costs him quite a bit of money.

Perhaps Wexler's real sin is that he didn't take bribes from government contractors in the form of an expensive DC houseboat like Duke Cunningham - or dump his disabled wife to marry a rich young woman with eight houses like John MCCain.

Update 3: Let's ask the question rightwingers won't ask - how many Florida Republicans keep their families in DC instead of Florida? Here's the list - start calling and report what you learn in the comments below.

What's sauce for the goose and all that...

PALM BEACH COUNTY FL 19TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

PALM BEACH COUNTY IMPEACH BUSH-CHENEY ORG FORMING IMPEACHMENT COMMITTEE FOR OUR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS: 19TH, 16TH, & 22ND Because of Republican gerrymandering, Palm Beach County is spread out through the 16th, 19th and 22nd districts. http://groups.google.com/group/palm-beach-county-impeach-bushcheney-org ... Hi, while IMPEACH FOR CHANGE was announcing in Philadelphia on Nov. 11, many of us who worked for "Call For Change" in Palm Beach County, making non-stop calls to get our Dem & Independent voters out, were celebrating at parties the same evening. We succeeded in getting Ron Klein in to replace Congressman Clay Shaw, and Mahoney to replace Foley. Our Senator is still Bill Nelson who has just been named part of the Democratic Leadership! Congressman Robert Wexler, who is on the Judiciary Committee had no opposition. It looks to me like we have prime choice congress critters to lobby for impeachment in Nelson and Wexler. We don't know yet on what committee Klein will be placed. Since we were altogether at this party, we thought, now let's form an organization to push Nancy Pelosi to PUT IMPEACHMENT BACK ON THE TABLE ! And so here it is: http://groups.google.com/group/palm-beach-county-impeach-bushcheney-org ... If you're in Palm Beach County or those districts named above are your Senate or Congress Critters, please go to that URL and join up with us. We're raring to go and have plans of places where there is a lot of pedestrian traffic to sign the PETITION TO IMPEACH BUSH-CHENEY.
