O'Reilly Over the Edge

At least with Colmes, you know he's a liberal. O'Reilly tries to mascarade as a conservative.

What is word wrap? should it be on or off?

Sorry, can't help. Haven't followed wrap since Biggie's untimely demise.

[paradoxical]

LOL ..good one

[Mike Bates]

Gracias, as they say in Chicago.

Queen Hillery has copies of BOR's phone sex tapes.

His show, his call. Sorry, but it's just like FreeRepublic, Jim gets to make the calls here - and OReilly gets to make the calls there. It's not "right or wrong" it's freedom.

Well said!

I don't agree with everything Bill says, but he did offer that Klein's book didn't offer anything new about Hillary, just the same old criticisms everyone's heard before. If you like Hillary you'll hate the book, if you hate Hillary you'll love the book.

Bill isn't a Bush-bot so he gets flamed by many here on FR, even though he's most often on the side of Conservatives on various issues: anti-Michael Moore/Far Left, anti Air America, anti-ACLU, anti-activist judges, pro-tougher punishment for child abusers, pro-traditional values, pro-troops, etc. But certainly his anti-SUV crusade is silly.

As the Greeks said many moons ago, "Pride cometh before the fall"

The Greeks? That's in Proverbs!

[sheik yerbouty]

He wants Blather's old job at CBS.

[GOPJ]

Thanks - and yeah, we agree on the SUV thing too. :)

[tom paine 2]

The Greeks invented the word hubris and the plays and books of ancient Greece all played up this aspect of man.

"He is a good speaker, and he is reports on news, not a lot of garbage. He's so much better than those hacks at cnn. "

Ditto! FOX is much better than CNN or MSNBC

O'Reilly has been pointing out this week how much the liberals and the MSN lie about President Bush not caring about the poor and the African Americans.

[L98Fiero]

Well said.

[southlake_hoosier]

He seems pretty comfortable where he is. I think he will be on FOX for a long time.

I find it somewhat amusing that, when watching O'Reilly, people see what they want to see...

Why do you find that amusing?

This is the way the world works, perception is reality.
Do you also find it amusing that one person likes asparagus and another does not or that one person's favorite color is blue and another hates blue?

[Sinner6]

It is his show and thus his call, but that doesn't make BOR any less of a jerk. People on FR are always willing to take a shot at Bill.

[cwb]

I agree...and I also noticed a distinct change in Oreilly shortly after those nasty accusations came out about him. That, combined with his media brethren's constant attacks on him, seem to have made him less inclined to engage in any kind of personal smear campaigns. He takes the attacks on him very personally...and after seeing what happened to himself, I just don't think he wants to be apart of it.

[southlake_hoosier]

Bill isn't a Bush-bot so he gets flamed by many here on FR

This guy gets it from both sides, that is why he is so popular. And as long as he does he will continue to have the #1 news show.

Yes it is. Well said.

"Do you also find it amusing that one person likes asparagus and another does not or that one person's favorite color is blue and another hates blue?"

I'd say that was quite a strech, as far as analogies go, to say the very least. A closer anaolgy would be how lefties see the MSM conservitive and we see it as liberal. We can't both be right. That I find amusing.

[marvlus]

I don't think he had a poll on Klein. He did have one for Kitty Kelly. He said because he didn't have an interview with Kelly, he wouldn't have one for Klein. I believe he would have gotten a much different response to the poll about having Klein on (had he had one) than he did for Kelly.
