Take O’Reilly’s criticism of conservative blogs with a grain of salt. It is silly for any of us to get rattled or disturbed by what he does.

BOR must have some bit of blackmail hanging over the heads of Fox. I don't know anyone who likes him or watches him.

Otoh, I know several people who are crazy about Glen Beck, including a neighbor who has a crush on him and rarely misses his show.

If Fox were to switch Beck's and BOR's time slots, I'd watch him as I rarely am able to catch Beck's show in its current time slot. If they swapped slots, I think Fox would be surprised how much better Beck would do in BOR's current showtime, though they'd lose a lot of viewers with BOR. What else is new? The man is an ass.

How silly.

I can't get either the links to work nor the picture to show anything other than the dreaded red x.

I did see Malkin on FNC this morning and she's not a happy camper! heh

BOR beats out every other cable news show....

He says he is an independent, not a repub.

Why is there so much hostility towards him?

Because he constantly gives obama a pass

Who cares what O’Reilly says?

He’s just wanting a place at the table with the liberals in the media.

O’ Reilly took a shot at free republic last night regarding the comment about Sotomayor being a diabetic. He really has to dig deep to find crap from a Cons. site versus all the garbage libs put out.

I believe O’Reilly is a Republican and not the indep. he claims to be. I like the way he’s going after ACORN and he’s always going after the child perverts libs try to protect.

He can be a major PITA sometimes but I enjoy watching his show.

O'Reily is a complete ratings-whore.

Nothing he says means anything.

He would say ANYTHING that he thought might get a few more people to watch his show.

I watch him every night and agree with him MOST of the time, but he has a real problem trying to play things down the middle.

Whenever he shows a disrespectful post from HuffPo or Kos (and there are THOUSANDS), he feels compelled to find one equally as vile at FR or Hot Air. The problem is, vulgar posts on our sites are extremely rare, and when they are made, they are yanked IMMEDIATELY. He must really go to a lot of trouble to find vicious posts before they’re pulled. And his implication that the left and right are equally vile is nowhere near the truth!

Thanks. I try to watch him nightly also. I think he makes a real effort to be fair and honest. He is not by any means a liberal.

I don’t agree with him 100% of the time but I do most of the time. I just don’t understand the vilifying of him that seems to go on here about him.

If he shows a vile post from FR...it may be eventually yanked, but it shows that we have our share of horses behinds here too. I don’t believe he thinks the left and the right are equally vile. I think he tries to validate that he is against ‘all’ foul minded by showing that we have it to. And we do.
