O'REILLY: In 2008 then-Senator Obama ran on a platform of uniting the country and transforming politics into a positive for the folks. That was what 'hope and change' was all about. According to a new poll, the President has failed to do that. When asked why President Obama publicly supported same-sex marriage, 67% of the country said it was for political reasons.

That poll is devastating because it says most Americans now think President Obama is just another politician who will change positions if he thinks it will personally benefit him. As Talking Points said last week, the gay marriage deal will be a negative for the President in November, he can say goodbye to North Carolina and has also lost some support in Virginia, Ohio and Florida.

So the political calculation, if that's what it really was, has actually hurt him and maybe even damaged his image among his most loyal constituents, African Americans. On black radio stations across the country there is outrage over the President's support of gay marriage.

President Obama has a 50-50 chance of being reelected and many things can happen between now and November. But right now the President is slipping everywhere!

Much has been said on a local radio station and throughout the community, speculating that the Boy Scout's position of not letting gay men be Scout Leaders, and the LDS Church's position that marriage should be between a man and a woman may have caused Zuckerman to attack the scouts and the LDS Church through his journalism.

We think it would be very unfair for anyone to conclude that is what is behind Zuckerman's motives. It would be wrong to do.

The only known facts are, that for whatever reason, Zuckerman chose to weave a story that unfairly, and without merit, paints Scout leaders and church leaders to appear unscrupulous, and blame them for the molestation of little children.

That too, is wrong and the editors of the Post Register should not have allowed it.

There was a tremendous impact on me both personally and professionally. Personally, it was really hard when my boyfriend, at the time, came home and said, "I don't have my job anymore. They know I'm gay. They know about my relationship with you. They don't want me there anymore."

And it was really hard for him. He actually got sick soon afterwards and was in bed for a month. I didn't know how we were going to pay the bills. It was really hard when people started leaving notes on my doorstep, when somebody kept calling in the middle of the night threatening to rape me with his handgun.

That was -- I mean, that was really terrible. And then professionally, it became much harder to do my job because, yes, Idaho Falls was buzzing about my sexual orientation.

And, you know, when I tried to talk to people, they would say things like, "Oh, I can't talk to you. You're a homosexual . We don't associate with that."

O'REILLY: Growing up on Long Island, my folks didn't have much, we didn't have air conditioning, never bought a new car, ate SpaghettiOs and tuna. But never once did my parents show jealousy toward the rich people in Garden City a few miles away. America fifty years later is a much different place; now we have class envy stoked by the Democratic Party.

Ironically, the media is part of the anti-affluent jihad, while many in the media are wealthy themselves. Same thing in Hollywood, where you have these pinheads supporting the Occupy Wall Street protesters. A Gallup poll asked whether the U.S. benefits from having a class of rich people. 46% of Democrats believe wealthy Americans provide no benefit to the country whatsoever.

I take that personally because I, against all odds, have become a rich guy. And here's exactly what I do for my country: I pay all my taxes and my foundation gives away millions of dollars to the poor, to military families in need, and to fight disease worldwide.

I employ dozens of people at BillOReilly.com, and because The Factor is successful, people are hired by the News Corporation to work on the program. Recently I thought about retiring, but I added it up and more than 60 people would have lost their jobs had I packed it in. So now I hear that almost half of Democrats believe I provide no benefit at all to America? Off-the-chart dumb!

The bottom line: Jealous pinheads hurt the country, while I and others like me are helping it.

O'REILLY: One of the really annoying things about my job is when I confront a political partisan with a fact, then they dodge by dredging up a diversion to pettifog the issue. The Washington Post is reporting that when Mitt Romney was 18 years old he hazed a gay guy in prep school.

Instead of dealing with the absurdity of that story, some pundits are referring to other politicians doing even worse stuff. We often justify bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior, which is what is done in third grade. Let's take a look at this prep school thing: It's dumb, but everybody does stupid things in high school.

If Mitt Romney was hazing people all the time, if he had shaved Barney Frank's head while Governor of Massachusetts, then we might have a story. But a prep school prank? C'mon! Talking Points wants to ask the Washington Post, what is the statute of limitation on bad behavior? Does it ever run out? This is politics in America today, gotcha, getcha, humiliate you. The Romney story means nothing!

In an email exchange with reporter Mike DeForest, the seller wrote, “My main motivation was to make money off the controversy.”

The seller would not disclose how many paper targets had been made, but said in an email, “The response is overwhelming. I sold out in 2 days.”

Some of those targets were sold to two Florida gun dealers, according to the seller.

O'REILLY: With President Obama now telling the nation that he supports the right of homosexuals to marry, the issue becomes significant in his bid to be reelected. The economy will drive the vote, but social issues like gay marriage are important to many Americans.

My take is that it's a matter of conscience. Unlike abortion, no one gets hurt when gays marry, but it does have deep implications for what kind of society we want to be. Therefore, individual states should decide the question. So far seven states have made gay marriage legal, but 38 states have passed legislation opposing gay nuptials.

For President Obama, this is not a winning hand, he can pretty much say goodbye to North Carolina, which overwhelmingly voted against gay marriage this week. He may also lose currency in Virginia, Nevada, Florida and Ohio. The media, of course, is very happy about the President's change of heart.

And largely because of the press, it's just about impossible to have an honest debate about gay marriage. If you oppose it, you're a 'bigot' and a 'homophobe.' Most of the media will not even consider the traditional point of view on marriage. Again, gay marriage is a matter of conscience and it's the responsibility of the states to regulate it as they see fit.

The politics of gay marriage will most likely hurt President Obama's reelection chances, but it's doubtful that will be reported by the national press.

PETERSON: “I think that one of the greatest mistakes that America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote. We should have never turned that over to women.”

“It was a big mistake, these women are voting in the wrong people. They’re voting in people who are evil, who agree with them. Men in the good old days understood the nature of the women, they were not afraid to deal with them.”

“Wherever women are taking over, evil reigns.”
