Is Bill O'Reilly the new moderate voice of America's right?
That would seem to be the case after Bill O' took on Rush Limbaugh, the fire-eating grand poobah of everything right-wing.
O'Reilly took exception to Limbaugh's claim that President Obama was trying to deliberately destroy the economy.
In an interview with Fox News, Limbaugh said Obama represented the most "radical leadership" in the history of the country, and that the economy was "under siege" by Obama.
Limbaugh also said Obama had "not done one thing to revitalize the economy."
In response, Bill O' asked the logical question but one that no right-winger in their right mind would have the temerity to ask, given the power of Limbaugh. "Why would President Obama purposely destroy the economy?" O'Reilly asked. "When that would damage him and never get him re-elected." Touche. But it took O'Reilly to say it.
This is an interesting development. With the exception of Limbaugh, there is no more-popular figure in right-wing circles than O'Reilly.
His ratings have soared to record levels at Fox. Now, he may be ready to take on the big Kahuna, the palladin of right-wing politics, the sultan of swatting down liberals, the king of talk, Rush Limbaugh. Watch this space. There may be a new O'Reilly on the prowl.
Didn’t BOR try to take on Rush by starting his own 12 -3 pm Eastern Time radio show a while back?
If El Rushbo goes to FOX and tells them I want a TV show in the 8 - 9 slot, how long will BOR last?
Why then has Barak Obama already adopted policies that are so destructive to the U.S. economy? Has Mr. Oh Really actually read Mr. Obama’s books where he credits Alinsky as being a mentor? Does he know what Alinsky espoused, i.e driving unemployment high to create dependency on the state. Why does Obama have radicals in his administration that are Alinsky followers, just like Obama? Dependency on the state creates an entire class of people who vote for leftist policies out of necessity. (So much for the “never get re-elected” by purposefully destroying the economy theory).
In answer to Mr. Oh Really, Obama does not want to destroy the economy just for the sake of destroying it. He wants to destroy it as a means to an end and because its mere existence runs counter to his beliefs. He believes that our economic system is inherently unjust. He also believes in the right of government to run and control everything. So then, what does our current economic system provide? It provides the opportunity and means for people to realize economic independence. Uh Oh, economic independence is anathema to centralized government control of all aspects of our lives.
As for Mr. Oh Really’s brilliant point about Obama not getting reelected. According to Mr. Oh Really we are to take Mr. Obama at his word. Fine by me, but Mr. Obama has clearly stated that he would gladly be a one term president in exchange for affecting the change he wants. See Mr. Oh Really, that is what extremists do, they sacrifice their personal interests for their radical views. Besides, as I said above, creating a permanent dependent class creates a class that will always vote for the left.
There Mr. Oh Really, I answered your supposedly brilliant and inshightful question and many others would be happy to answer it more elegantly than I ever could. But you are too busy talking over people and enjoying hearing yourself speak to actually listen to Limbaugh's words or think this out. If I figured it out, why can't a wizard of smarts like you? Perhaps you have figured it out and are too busy trying to be liked by the left just enough so you will get invited back onto the View where you can plug your book.
“Let us not forget that Rush Limbaugh knocked Bill O off the radio last year.”
—
Rush didn’t knock anyone off the air last year; O’Really just couldn’t cut bait.
Let’s face it, Bill O’R is our Joy Behar...I think Rush should showup on BO’Rs show to say howdy!
seriously? is that the best they've got?
have they not heard pelosi say that they want health care in, even if they lose seats next year? why would they do that? simple. they know, once it's in, there is no turning back.
same with 0bama. crater the economy, blame the GOP and GWBush (of course)... then reboot into socialism since capitalism has been tried and failed. (this was the mantra the past 2 weeks by the left)
if 0bambi didn't want to crater the economy, then he would not have printed money... would have made the companies in trouble crater... and allow the small, efficient companies that survived buy the assets out of the bankruptcy of the large companies.
he would also radically lower taxes so the economy can actually get under way instead of constantly begging money from the fed.
i could go on, but you get the drift. and yes, O'Reilly has drifted a bit too far left
“...Mr. Obama has clearly stated that he would gladly be a one term president in exchange for affecting the change he wants.”
—
I agree. Therefore, he is different from a Jihadi suicide bomber....how?
This guy has no earthly idea of what he's talking about. O'Reilly lost his cache with conservatives not long after he debuted on Fox, which was years and years ago.
Ok. Rush Limbaugh 20 million listeners (give or take a few) and BOR 3.5 million viewers (give or take a few). So... who is Bill O’Reilly?
His late radio show really put a dent in Rush’s ratings. </sarcasm>
What a stupid premise. O’Reilly is free to comment on whatever he wants. It doesn’t mean he’s trying to “take down Limbaugh”. Such a ‘feud’ would simply work to the benefit of both of them anyhow by giving them more exposure and allowing them both to say “watch my show”.

For whatever reason the last few weeks you have said multiple times you don't think Obama is a Marxist. What evidence do you have that he isn't? His books make it plain that his mother was, his father was, Frank Marshall Davis was, all his friends were and still are, his teachers were, and he made the statement that he sought them out. We have several "Czar's, on film and in writing that say they follow Marxists and their hero's are Marxist's, but somehow, being "fair and balanced", you seem to just pass over a mountain of evidence otherwise. We know he campaigned for Odinga of Kenya, a Muslim communist that happens to be related to him. Odinga lost and formed a coup and then started to murder Christians by burning them in their churches. We also know "his people" met with FARC before the elections from captured e-mail on a FARC laptop and they stated they would try to arrange a meeting with Chavez and Obama. I even sent you footage of his Houston office with a Cuban flag with a picture of Che on it hung on the wall as you walk in. Refusing reality isn't being "fair and balanced". Either you have lost touch with reality, or you get a tingle in your leg when you see him. Even Joe the Plumber "got it" with only one question. You will lose your relevance if you keep acting like you don't know what everyone else seems to know by instinct. Does he have to raise a Communist flag over the White House for you to finally "get it"? Oh yeah, he already did that with the Chinese flag.
BOR is clueless on history, economics and the law. It would be no contest.
Will Pee Wee Herman take Brett Favre's job?
Actually, Rush did knock Bill O off the air. Bill O’s radio show was on at the same day and time as Rush’s, but unless one lived in a market where Bill O was on in the late evening, they wouldn’t hear him live at noon ET.
BOR’s ego wanted BOR to do the radio show from 12 - 3 pm ET. BOR is effectively controlled by his ego.

Did Rush re-sked to compete with O’Really or did BOR schedule to compete with Rush? Therein is the answer to the riddle.
Why would he destroy the economy? To make us all dependent on the government Bill, even I know that. And who says he’s going to have more elections?
In the radio biz, they call it ratings. BOR lost the ratings game. it’s easy to compete for the 8pm timeslot, when your main competition is Keith Olbermann and Campbell Brown. Nobody wants to watch that squealing nonsense, so they opt for BOR.
Why would President Obama purposely destroy the economy?â OâReilly asked. âWhen that would damage him and never get him reelected.â
No way Touche!
This commentary assumes falsely that Obama is the smartest person in Washington and but anybody with any awareness (un like BO) would know that the Obama policies to destroy capitalism will lead to a failed second term if these policies succeed.
To the contrary, Obama is not that bright, because he actually believes ta good economy only helps the privileged and his job is to redistribute the wealth. Obama thinks that those who have no wealth, wont care if the economy is destroyed, as long as they are getting food stamps, free health care, college scholarships, cash for clunkers, earned income tax credits, free school lunches, and government funded abortions.
Of course this is utter stupidity, on Obama;’s part, and for BO to over look that Obama, is like Rush has said ; Obama has the mentality of a youth and is in over his head.
So until BO and half of the nation who BO is trying to appease with viewership actually comes to grips that Obama is not that smart, which is what leads to his dumb policies to destry the US , such as capping oil drilling, taxing energy and cow towing to our enemies, they will continued to be is disarray with Rushes accurate comments such that Obama on purpose is destroying the economy of the US.
Obamas and the Democrat’s goal is to take full control of every aspect of our lives, as they falsly believe that their secular humanism, of taking and redistributing our wealth will improve the life’s of the masses, but the fact is they are stupid to believe this, and this will lead eventually to their down fall if ever the US catches on like they are doing tonight.
