Counterstrike: Mark Levin goes nuclear on O’Reilly over bailout rant
HotAir.com ^ | September 25, 2008 | Allahpundit

Posted on 09/26/2008 4:25:58 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

It’s a special man indeed who can make both O’R’s and Olbermann’s enemies lists. Courtesy of Levin’s producer, a modest response to this morning’s sneak attack reducing Bill to a bold fresh piece of humanity:

O.R. has been looking like a big fool on this just as he was on the oil debate. Neil Cavuto showed him to be an ingorant tool. I think Bill O’s problems is that he really isn’t that sharp.

BOR is such a joke

Goes to show you that a Harvard education is a waster of money

He believes in the Chuck Shumer warnings that caused IndyBank to go under

Just because he lost it. Hope his bragging ratings tank

stopped watching him when he went up obama’s arse to get him on his show
but then I thought I would watch the interview and all he did was shout and let obama just waffle on like he always does

obama’s way to have an interview
keep talking keep talking and watch for the clock to run down so he can’t be asked anymore questions

and OR let him do it

BOR is sharp all right but he never took the time to educate himself in a number of issues.

He is involved in too many things, his radio shows, books, newsletters, his shows, etc. Daily! No time to study economics so he looks like a fool!

BOR jumped the shark when he came out against the Swift Boaters with NO rationale ever explained.

BOR IS the quintessential pinhead.

He's not even pointy let alone sharp but old people like him so they will keep him around at least for TV. I was hoping they would get rid of that imp Shep Smith but the ladies like him so he'll be around to take over for O’Riley. Sad really... There are so many opportunities for Fox or some bright reporter to break some fantastic stories and this crap is all they can up with!

"he looks like a fool!"?

BOR is a fool. Just look back at his sexual harassment situation where he held that he wasn't going to put up with blackmail, but folded shortly after. Levin has him correctly pegged at the "Non-factor".

I think Bill O’Reilly is closer to the truth on this than Mark Levin. And Charles Schumer did precipitate a run on IndyMac Bank, and his behavior was quite unethical.

His show is more popular than ever. I don’t listen to his radio show , to be honest. but a lot of others certainly do.

O'Reilly was arrogant long before he hit it big on Fox. This clip is rather old, and certainly people grow and mature, but it speaks to me how petulant BOR can be. We've all had bad days at work, but I'd like to think few of us lash out like this....

Thank you Mark.

I gave up on BOR when he totally DISSED Swift Boat Veterans.
In fact I shut off all TV programming.

I like Mark’s program for the most part.
BoR is a big phony whose only conservative principle is to not have HIS taxes go up. Everything else is just him milking our emotions. Neil Cavuto made him look like fool on gas/oil prices recently.

I will say that Bush will get the blame for anything bad that happens and you cant wonder if him telling us the Iraq war was a success in 2005-2006 , if he was doing the same thing with the economy up till early this year. Bush is on O’Reilly’s side on the bailout.

I haven't watched TV for several years now. Before that it was just one or two comedies weekly. I don't miss it at all. And I haven't watched ABC/CBS/NBC news probably for decades.

O’Reilly’s problem is that he’s lost a pile of money and he’s mad at everybody, except for himself and his broker... For some reason, it’s not his brokers fault. If I were him, I’d rethink my portfolio.

From the beginning of his show I have thought he was basically a liberal who wanted to make money in talk radio so he adopted the prerequisite conservative viewpoint but he isn’t a natural and gets things wrong sometimes without understanding why they are wrong. His inconsistencies are weird and I can’t think of any other explanation for them.

Listened to this last night. The “non-factor” really did sound like an idiot from the cuts Levin played of his soon to be extinct radio program. What BOR fails to mention is that the “folks” and their children and grandchildren will be left with the bill for this bailout. This is a rush to judgment. Something this important needs to be done in the daylight for everyone to see, not at midnight in the back rooms of Congress.

Mark Levin IS “the Great One”

I'm having a hard time stating interested in FOX-—
O Reilly is a blowhard, Hannity (bless his heart) is a broken record, Colmes is despicable and hard on the eyes to boot (I “watch” the show rarely and with my eyes shut an finger on the mute button), Greta is showing some fresh material but I can't overcome her year long blathering about Natalee Holloway, and Geraldo- oh, would Hurricane Ike have simply taken him out over the sea wall....

I am spending most time watching Neil Cavuto and Dave Ramsey on FOX business - I like Neal and Dave. They take no prisoners.

I had listened last night to at least the first 35-40 minutes before heading out last night to TGO. Wow, he was REALLY kicking BOR’s butt over what BOR had said about Rush Limbaugh and the other conservitive talkradio show hosts. Will listened to the saved copy today from last night for the rest of the show.

I’ve never listened to Mark and I’m certainly no fan of Billy boy but that audio clip didn’t impress me in the slightest. One thing I take notice of is if someone’s going to rant on someone else for a position they take, then I need to know why. In this case Mark gave no reasons other then Bill’s position (which I don’t agree with anyway) didn’t agree with Mark’s position (which I probably do agree with).
Maybe Mark’s laid out the reasons during other parts of the show but those parts need to be included for me to agree with his side of the story. Especially coming from the media, I never take a man’s word unless he can back it up with something and Mark didn’t back up anything he just ranted.

Sorry, wasn’t impressed.

Yup. He's just slipped below Hannity to become the dullest knife in the Conservative drawer.

I watch BOR primarily for the guests. He is a hack who should have stuck with Inside Edition.

While he is annoyingly ignorant on issues due primarily to a lack of preparation, I am tiring of his push to get people on his show. Stupid comments that imply that people need to come on the Factor or else they have not answered to the american people makes it difficult to not change the channel.

Laura Ingraham correctly pointed out the link of the financial crisis and the Clinton Admin (and democrat) policy and he agreed (contradicting his radio rant that Mark ripped) but he still tried to blame Bush for not fixing it ... Laura corrected him by pointing out that Bush tried numerous times ... BOR stated that the admin hasnt come on the factor to tell the american people. Why the hell should they? The host is a moron who is only interested in his ratings (similar to Wiener?) ... Perhaps BOR should send his producer to the friggin’ Pres. press conferences.

Sorry for “bloviating” ... enough with the dictionary crap.

OReilly does good investigation work. His strength is that he is a bulldog, and stands up for what he feels is right.

His problem is he is a traditionalist. He may understand an immediate issue based on facts, but he does not comprehend broad philosophies or the WHY of things. Because of this he has no underpinnings and is often led astray.

For instance, BOR has no true understanding of either Christianity or economics, so his arguments are often empty. He will stick to a wrong argument when it is obvious he doesn’t really know what he is talking about.

This is why I used to love Tony Snow. Tony’s arguments were BASED in his comprehension of the principles behind the beliefs.
