Can O'Reilly really be considered a true conservative?

[plain talk]

O'Reilly is not smart enough to deal with complex issues. In fact he often can't figure out the simple ones.

G had better watch out...first rule of holes - if you're in one with the bosses at the syndicator, you'd better quit digging...

Only allow Liddy to appear on the Factor if he apologized?

C'mon, Bill, show a little of that "toughness" you like to reference from time to time and roll out the red carpet for Liddy.

Apologize? Is he serious?

[Mark]

"O'Reilly is an embarrassment to our side,"

Where did he get that Bill was on our side? He thinks it's somehow a great virtue to sit UP on the fence to show he is abve all the other pundits. You know the old saying of what is found in the middle of the road.

[Bluntpoint]

A philanderer at odds with a blowhard.

How precious!

[dinok]

"Bill did what all bullies do, he ran when someone stood up to him."

How true.

Go Liddy!!!

[dinok]

"Bill did what all bullies do, he ran when someone stood up to him."

How true.

Go Liddy!!!

[Mark]

Forgot to add- I listen to him, sometimes screaming at him, other times agree with him.

[birbear]

"Clash of the Titans"?

Doesn't take much to be called a Titan nowadays does it? One has-been, one never-was.

Sheesh

[French-American Republican]

I'm on O'Reilly's side. I don't know who G. Gordon Liddy is, but I don't appreciate his taking Al Frankentraitor's side. O'Reilly is consistently against the invasion from Mexico. I would like him a little bit better if he did a segment on the destruction of American industry, but he gave some lip service to it when bringing light to the outsourced ketchup jobs.

Is that really Liddy in that picture, billorites? He's basically putting his penis and his rear end on the flag. That says a lot.

[Mark]

OK, I don't know if this was posted already, but Larry Elder had a good joke-- I'll try it from memory:

Two boys in Boston playing catch with a baseball outside and a Pit bull attacks the youngest one. The other boy quickly grabs the dog by its neck and twists the head, killing it. A reporter is nearby, seeing the incident and immediately runs up to the boy who saved the life of his friend.

The reporter opens his laptop computer and begins typing: "Brave Red Sox fan saves life of child being attacked by vicious dog"

The boy says he is a Houston Astros fan, not a Red Sox fan. The reporter says, "Oh, I thought you were a Red Sox fan because you live here in Boston. Oh well.."

The reporter then changed the title to: "Kerry supporter bravely saves his young friends life after vicious dog attack".

The boy says, "No, I like Bush- not Kerry". The reporter says, "I just thought that because you were from this state...well, ok".

The reporter then deletes and starts over, typing: "Mean S.O.B. Bush supporter kills beloved family pet".

[A Jovial Cad]

Well, I wouldn't consider O'Reilly a conservative like, say, Sean Hannity or Rush. But he does have some fairly conservative views. But the liberals hate O'Reilly, so I to go by the doctrine "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." That's why I hate the fact that the G-Man and O'Reilly are feuding. The people taking the most pleasure out of this are the Libs.

[jincarolina]

I listen to liddy, but am mad at him for running to the scum bag al frankin. I am no longer going to tune in to him, also he bothers me when he acts like the "NATURES YOUTH" thing is a news story. Some times Bill is a jerk but I still kinda like him.

[Common Tator]

Which talk Radio shows are at the top of the ratings?

Liddy and O'Reily shows are not near the top of the heap. Neither show is a pimple on Rush or Hannitys rump.

What does a syndicator do when he has two shows that are not doing as well as many others? He tries to come up with a way to increase both audiences is what!! I'll give you a clue. Both of these shows are owned by the same syndicator, and they need an inexpensive way to get more listeners.

The oldest and most tested way is to start a feud between the two hosts. That way some of Liddy's audience will tune in to hear what O'Reily says about Liddy and some of O'Reily's audience tunes in to hear what Liddy says about O'Reilly, Both shows get a bit more audience.

My Dad used to say there is one born every minute. But after reading this thread, I am convinced it occurs more frequently than that..

[zygoat]

Liddy certainly did his part to elect Carter, and we are still paying the price for that to this day. Sorry G-MAN, you and your thong are just so...wrong, therefore I will not join your throng.

[mass55th]

Liddy's first mistake was assuming that O'Reilly is on "our side." O'Reilly's repeatedly said (and shown) that he's not a Conservative or Republican.

[Kenny Bunk]

O'Reilly, Matthews, Russert... and Liddy all share a very traditional classics-based Catholic education. They part company by generation.

Liddy is a product of the Jesuits when they prided themselves on the classical traditions of Logic and rigorous thought, let the chips fall where they may. As the years rolled by, a new wing gained ascendancy in Catholic Colleges: inspired by Dorothy Day and the Catholic Workler Party,and by Jacques Maritain and the Christian Democrats.

Inspired by bogus interpretations of an encyclical of Pius IX, who ran a pretty good jail and tyranny system himself, these people decided the only logical thing to do was to promise the peasants and workers everything the communists were promising, but with God and the Church to look everything over and keep the socialist arrangement true to :Christian Principles. O'Reilly,(who is not as bad as the two younger men) Matthews and Russert are exactly this kind of Christian Democrat-Democrat. They also desperatelywant to be accepted by the blatantly anti-Catholic Left Wing Media Establishmnent. So, they are very quick to sell traditional Catholic thinkers like Liddy down the river.

On a less intellectual (and I think a less sincere) level, this is exactly what Katie Couric and Cokie Roberts did to advance their own careers. IMHO, when it comes to Irish-American-Catholic thinkers like O'Reilly, Matthews, and Russert,(who man for man, are splendid chaps, with whom I'd love to share a drink and an argument) maybe it would have done them more good if their ancestors had done a little time in a Papal jail, instead of English ones. Perhaps they wouldn't be quite so enthusiastic about what they consider Church-Sanctioned Socialism as preached by old Pius the 9th.
