Simply wow, is all I can say to the segment on last night’s O’Reilly Factor. Both of them lost their cool in the extreme.
O’Reilly screams that Geraldo wants “anarchy”, Geraldo yells that O’Reilly wants to take illegal aliens and “do something to them” over the story of a drunk illegal who killed two teenaged girls in a Virginia Beach car accident.
I have to say, in my opinion they were both wrong a little and right a little, but neither did his case any good by getting into a shouting match. O’Reilly made it solely an illegal alien issue, and Geraldo completely excused the illegals of all wrongs. O’Reilly had the better point, of course, but both tried to make it a single issue discussion with Geraldo accusing O’Rielly of, in effect, being a racist and O’Reilly screaming that Geraldo might not care about his own teenage girls.
They both lost their cool and looked like raving lunatics, as far as I am concerned.

I actually kind of enjoyed seeing it, but I felt Bill didn’t get any solid points across.
The bottom line, and the best way to explain it would be that the girl would NOT have died if this illegal immigrant was not in the country. Period.
Why jump through hoops with all the other crap?
The problem I have with O’Reilly’s point was that of a singular focus as if drunk drivers could be cured by getting rid of illegals. Yes this particular accident would have been avoided, but the “illegal” question didn’t really have everything to do with the troubles here.
We have a further problem with the law where too many people get off so easily, so much of the problem here is less the “illegal” problem but more the fact that this guy was allowed to get away with crimes too many times. That is less an “illegal” problem and more a failure of our system otherwise.
Anyway, I agreed with O’Reilly that this guy should have been deported looooong before that accident in Vir. Beach.
