Why does Oreilly have a problem with right wing radio? Is it because they kick his lame radio shows BUTT?
O'Reilly just compared all of us to Michael Moore.
This is the end of the rope for this phoney. I've had enough.
Should be vanity
When?
I think O'Twitly is planning to run for some office, and is desperately trying to move to the middle, thereby appeasing the liberals. I don't trust anything he says; he is totally self-serving.
Paraphrasing.. He compared the CBS Memos to no WMDs in Iraq. And compared the reaction of Michael Moore to no WMDs, to the reaction of forged CBS Memos.
O'Reilly is a disgrace to the human race.
I agree 100%
Since I posted #5, a caller on Savage suggested that O'Twitly is preening himself to try to take over Rather's job when CBS cans him (which they will, I believe.)
Yet ANOTHER good theory!
Flip the tables on Juan Williams:
Why doesn't the "We were misled by CBS" arguement from the right stick. According to O'Reilly this is the same arguement (I don't agree because one is truth and the other is fiction).
Where O'Reilly goes wrong with comparing the left with the right is that the right checks its facts whereas the left is interested in the "seriousness of the charge".
He's not moving to the middle. He's moving to a place where he selectively regurgitates tautologies ("X was stated or done, therefore X is true/factual, even though X is questionable"). It's not really an ideology, it's cheap and lazy intellectual dishonesty.
I agree. Your explanation is much more eloquent than mine.
