Character Assassination: The Left’s Most Important WEAPON

Bill O'Reilly

The news about Fox News Channel letting Bill O’Reilly go shocked the anchor’s followers last week – but it was also a reminder of the left’s modus operandi and most important weapon: CHARACTER ASSASSINATION.

As we all know, the Left is in a permanent state of war against freedom lovers and Christianity – and they HATE President Trump. They run fake stories about how Trump’s supporters are abandoning him – and if you’re a Trump supporter you’re probably still going down on your knees every single night before you go to bed thanking God for preventing Hillary from winning the 2016 presidential election.

Nothing to see here – Trump supporters are still very much behind him.

Since the left cannot beat Trump himself at the moment, they go after anyone on the right and in his administration. Not long ago they were talking about how Steve Bannon was set to leave the administration and how irrelevant he had become. The last time I checked, Mr. Bannon was still Trump’s Chief Political Strategist.

Now the allegations that the New York Times exposed about Bill O’Reilly supposedly paying five women to keep quiet about his alleged sexual harassment is nothing but a personal attack on anything that moves on the right. The NYT is quick to pass judgment on O’Reilly (and so is Fox News), but God forbid they even hint at the possibility that Bill Clinton is truly a sexual predator.

See, the Left isn’t in and of itself opposed to sexual predators – as long as those predators are leftists, it’s all fine and dandy. What the Left wants is to WIN this COLD WAR against FREEDOM and CHRISTIANITY. They don’t care about morals. They don’t care about women – if they did, Bill Clinton would be in prison by now. 

This is CHARACTER ASSASSINATION: they will go after anybody who seems either close or neutral to Trump. The Left wants UNANIMOUS, no-questions-asked following. They want TOTAL SUBMISSION – also known as COMMUNISM. They want to control you and in order to control you, they have to destroy anybody and anything that supports freedom, such as Christians and Conservatives.

Whether or not Bill O’Reilly really is a predator is not the point I’m trying to make here – I don’t know him and I don’t know whether these women are paid by the Left (quite likely) or simply lying or if they're telling the truth. In any case, the main objective was to destroy O’Reilly’s reputation. The truth isn’t relevant – it’s the STORY that matters.

Over the 20 years he was on Fox News, Bill O’Reilly did some wonderful things – from pushing for Kate’s law to mediating in the release of an American young man in a Mexican prison. If the Left succeeds, none of this will ever be remembered.

One thing I’ve always criticized about O'Reilly, though, is when he selected a Muslim actor to play Jesus in his ‘Killing Jesus’ movie. I thought he chose a Muslim with the purpose to come across as open-minded – money, perhaps, being the main driver.

Why would I object to having a Muslim playing Jesus?

Because in order to play any character, you must understand him. And in order to understand Jesus you HAVE to be a Christian – there is no way that you can understand His suffering on the cross or the mission He had to SAVE US unless you’re a Christian.

Actors like to get into character by studying and understanding what their character is going through. Good actors try to FEEL and THINK like the character. If you’re playing Jesus and you FEEL and THINK like Jesus, there is no way that you can NOT become a Christian. If you GET Jesus, you become a Christian. In other words, either the Muslim actor converted to Christianity after understanding Jesus, or he's still a Muslim and consequently didn't portray Jesus accurately.

In my mind, the choice of that particular actor was not based on what was best for the production, but rather on what was politically correct – something that goes against O’Reilly’s ‘no spin’ style…

Character assassination, by the way, is what was used to accuse Jesus. If you recall, Jesus was accused not of being theologically wrong – as a rabbi (a teacher), He was teaching the exact Word of God. Jesus, my friend, was accused to plot against the Roman Empire – a POLITICAL charge, which obviously wasn’t true.

Pontius Pilate examined the evidence – or lack thereof – and interrogated Jesus. When he was done, Pilate said of Jesus ‘I find no fault in him’. To put things into perspective, Pilate was a BRUTAL DICTATOR, even by Roman standards. Roman officers themselves were worried about the brutality of this man. And this very vicious dictator found NO FAULT in Jesus – and yet, Jesus was crucified.

Evil has been using character assassination since the beginning of times. We shouldn’t be surprised. But we should recognize it as soon as we see it. President Ronald Reagan used to call the Soviet Union ‘the evil empire’. And that’s because communism is evil. The LEFT is evil EVERYWHERE – you should be on the alert.

Luke 23:3-4
​
‘So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied. Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”’
