Bill O'Reilly, why so seriously ignorant about Obama?
Renew America ^ | 17 Sep 2009 | Arlen Williams

Posted on 09/18/2009 9:46:38 AM PDT by Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus

Did you happen to see Bill O'Reilly last night, scratching his head to a gelatinous mass over the increasing anger in America with Barack Obama? Throughout the program he puzzled that somehow, increasing numbers of Americans actually tie the scandals of ACORN to the Communisty Organizer in Chief. But, he knows much too much, from way too many interviews and conversations with the powerful, to be so gullible as to fall into that trap, himself. After all, reports of nefarious Acornistas are unheard of, to even ABC's Charlie Gibson.

I have a friend who talks about "aperceptive filters" — established beliefs, which inhibit the formation of new understanding. Such a mental block must plague many establishment conservatives, from Fox News' O'Reilly and Neil Cavuto, to what, all but a dozen or so in Congress. Apparently, to them, considerations of global Marxist-fascist conspiracies are mind game relics — so Twentieth Century. Surely, nothing of the sort ever took root in America, anyway....

Because BOR is a poseur. A fraud, a clown.

An old line Dinosaur Media guy, he still religiously reads, and believes, whatever the media template that is put out. He merely postures as “Populist” to get his audience.

Why anyone watches this transparent ego maniacal blow hard fraud is beyond me. Whenever a Conservative person or group fights back against the Leftist Propaganda machine, BOR will rush to the mic to trash that Conservative like all the rest of the Leftist media.

Strike 1, he defended Dan Rather during the transparent Bush National Guard smear and he joined in the smear of the Swift Boat vets.

Strike 2, He did a total fraudulent hack job "report" on Free Republic labeling all Freepers hatemongers.

Strike 3. He engaged in the most gutter slime out and out lying about the 09-12 Citizens rally. He has mindlessly echoed the shameless lies put out by the Democrat National Committee about "racism"

He is gutter slime ego maniacal fraud. Frankly Fox News should simply fire him and move Glen Beck to his time slot. They would double their audience and quit wasting their money paying this fraudulent clown.

I saw a Bill O'Reilly who was pea green with envy of Glen Beck. He actually suggested that Beck (although not by name) had been so successful that he might make the mistake of using bogus stories to satisfy his fans cravings for big stories!

Mike Gallagher just sat there slacked jawed in disbelief!

O’Reilly fancies himself an intellectual, which means he likes to listen to guys like Obama who like to talk to guys like O’Reilly who fancy themselves intellectuals.

“BOR is still one of their top rated shows. I think it has to do with what time it is on. If Beck would have that time, he would blow bill completely out of water.”

And it keeps Bill “Willie Stark” O’Reilly up at night.

Interesting point
but there is a way to be balanced without being stupid. BOR does not know this.

Mel is right. If Beck( who btw has outdrawn BOR several times and beck is on much earlier) was on in Bill’s slot he would have incredible numbers

BOR makes a point and even if pointed out it ids wrong refuses to admit
he is a pos

Sometimes I think Bi8ll O’Reilly gets so tangled up in his ego-mania that his blind spot is at the end of his nose.

Flip BOR and Glenn Beck and BOR would vanish from the media and Fox would top 10 million viewers for a single show. The only reason anyone watches BOR’s clown act is because of his time slot.

Must ‘correct’ the record if anyone says there were over 75,000 people at the 9-12 rally.

This egoistical nitwit is so into himself he cannot admit most of the time he is wrong. This windbag is sick.

And don’t forget his dishonest criticism of Free Republic. He had his staff cherry pick posts by trolls (most of which were almost immediately removed, and in some cases, zotted) and show screen shots as examples of what’s posted here. I despise him for that.

I was watching BOR last night and he too had me throwing things at the TV set.

O’Reilly is not a conservative per se, never has been, but he has really been hacking me off more and more of late with his lunkheaded denseness and his increasing love for the sound of his own voice.

I don’t watch as much as I used to especially if TV Land is running “Married with Children” opposite him....:)

OReily has to straddle the fence for Fox’s sake at BALANCED REPORTING.

Totally BS. All of Fox is balanced reporting EXCEPT BOR. All he does is mindlessly echo the Liberal Media Establishment's talking points and trash Conservatives. He has YET to stand up and defend a single Conservative ever. All he does is echo what ever CBS and NY Times are saying about them. He is fraud and a clown.

PS per BOR, because you are a member of Free Republic, you are a member of a hate site engaging in hate speech.

I watched BOR last night ... He was arrogant and dense.
I agree and I thought it was on purpose too.
His comment that both he and Beck were the only two covering ACORN made me sick.
He only did it because because Beck's ratings went through the roof.

I don’t watch BOR anymore. He insults my intelligence.

Ditto. Bill used to be a schoolteacher. No doubt one of the ones with a leftist slant. He never mentions his former schoolteacher union ties does he?

If you want to understand O'Reilly you should study the photograph below. O'Reilly is crapping on ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH GLEN BECK. Beck is moving the Congress to action, getting himself on TIME Magazine's cover and moving up fast in the ratings and the NYT Best Seller's list. These are all things that threaten The BORing One.

The fact that this is hurting America and the conservative movement and our efforts to slow down and stop the Obama Machine just don't add up to much if you are Mr. Ego AKA Bill O'Reilly. Time for Freepers to cut him loose like we did with George Will and other part-time conservatives. Either you are with us or you are against us.

That was when I started screaming.

BOR knows Glenn Beck is overtaking him and doesn't know what to do...

Beck is so good because he is seeking the truth, wherever it takes him. I'm not sure what BOR is seeking...
