O'Reilly is a master self-promoter.

Forget conservatism, forget liberalism -- Bill's political philosophy is 100% O'Reilly-ism.

FoxFan ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

The "Only O'Reilly Spin Factor". I liked him a little at first but grew weary of his over-talking style. He's truly a blowhard who is a master spinner that screams out of both sides of his mouth.

Thanks for the ping!

"Mrs. Clinton's book, which was expected to be a big holiday seller, has even disappeared from the extended list of the nation's 35 top selling books that the Times posts online. "

It has not disappeared entirely of course; you can find her book, piled up in the corners of the discount 'overage' book stores. . .

And for a couple of bucks. . .

Well, let me just say, it is cheaper than firewood.

"Does this exclude large book purchases? Not that a certain commentator on FOX would purchase thousands of books to boost his ranking."

Do not think O'Reilly stupid enough to do that; he would be definitely 'called' on it.

Could be Drudge did him a big favor; reminded people of that last Christmas gift on their list.

Maybe even a 'sympathy' purchase. . .or just maybe, O'Reilly was right.

Good points!

I like O'Reilly. He at least is not a wimp and goes after guys such as Rev. Jesse J. and the corrupt lawyer Feldman (who accused innocent people when he knew his client Westerfield was guilty of the most horrible crime).

O'Reilly speaking out against ACLU and pedophiles has made a number of people angry.

There are times I disagree with him. Mainly I watch his show because he is interesting. Also, he is not concerned with PC, does not have Paula Zahn's "deer in the headlights" stare, Dan Abrams' smarmyness, and Katie Couric's perkiness.

"O'Reilly speaking out against ACLU and pedophiles has made a number of people angry."

For sure; and then of course, there is 'alfrankenstein' himself.

Agree with your reasons 'for' O'Reilly.

He makes me a little crazy as he does have some major blindspots when it comes to Liberals - my recollection is that in his prior books; while addressing the pathology; he never uses the actual agents (Liberals!) of that pathology by name.

He does call the 'facts of the matter'; just not inclined to address the 'Lib itself' MO as the heart of the matter. . .so to speak.
