RFFM.org Commentary
He's a shameless self-promoter. He bloviates with the best of them and admits it. And he has one of the most entertaining political shows on television. I'm talking about Bill O'Reilly and The O'Reilly Factor (FNC--Fox News Channel).
However, besides the incredibly useless segment titled, "Body Language" with guest Tanya Reiman, O'Reilly's plan to have Americans boycott purchases of gasoline on Monday's is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Body Language segment, it is almost as bad as his weekly interview with ...

Leave it to O’Reilly to popularize the silly theory that boycotting gas stations one day a week will accomplish something. What a maroon.
I can't seem to make the picture load. But check this out.
LOL! Boycotts crack me up. I guess if it makes YOU feel good...
He’s imitating Savage.
I will make a point of buying gas on Mondays. O’Reilly is an economic idiot.
Today I sent a check to the bank for my Auto Loan (SUV actually) ... it is paid on one day every month ... guess that means that for the rest of the month I am *boycotting* the bank, really sticking it to 'em, yep ...
BOY, do I feel better now :)
nyuk ... nyuk ... nyuk
Attention everyone. Lines might be a bit shorter on Monday. Some idiots think they’re making a difference by staying away.
The average US gasoline consumption is 388.6 million gallons/day. If O’Reilly gets his way it will be 453.4/day six days a week and 0 one day a week. Big deal. The most that would happen is that gas stations will close one day a week to save on labor costs of keeping the station open.
You think that’s bad...I have read from a few random kooks that a pump n’ run (read: stealing gas) should be considered an act of civil disobedience.
Hooray for economic ignorance!
Anyone advocating a boycott of gas stations for a day just does not understand the how it works. Of course, that is the VAST majority of people.
you are wonderfull
I wish I’d come up with it, but I didn’t. I just found it.
Yeah..UI saw this pompous megalomaniac the other night say this. This guy is so full of himself it makes me want to barf...
First off does this Popinjay realize that we’re in a Capitalistic society? It’s like eb and flow, supply and demand. You don’t regulate prices, you let the free market do that.
Secondly, he’s riding he rails of a popular idea. The republicans would do well to promote drilling and coal production here etc. However this guy wants to penalize the oil companies.
O “Reilly always says, “I’ll give you the last word”, and then the @ss hole end up giving the last word....ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
My husband bought a Prius over 2 years ago. It’s pissing him off that it is nows cost ihim $30 to fill up his tank
:-).
I say we try to drive less, that will have more of an effect on gas prices than boycotting gas stations for one day.
Ias he really so stupid as to not realize that people will still have to go to work and other places and that if they don’t fill up on Monday, they will have to on the Sunday before or the Tuesday after?
Please don't stop there. "O" is the epitome of stupid and he is so in love with his voice that I question why have guest.
