Is Bill O'Reilly ready to take on Rush Limbaugh? (Ted Baxter as the voice of the RINOs?)

yes, O'Reilly has drifted a bit too far left

He hasn't merely drifted, he's fallen deeply into the administration's line of BS and can't get up.

[TigersEye]

O'Reilly brags that he has "the best research team in the business." I have forwarded relevant information to him in plenty of time for his staff to get it to him and yet he goes on the air with misinformation.

Dozens of times, as most FReepers would know, BOR bloviates some totally inaccurate BS that has been sliced and diced on FR for weeks. Either his "crack" research team is Greg Gutfeld's mother or BOR doesn't bother to read anything they find.

(No offense to Greg's mom, she's a nice lady.)

He’s no match for Rush, no way, no how. Rush wouldn’t waste his time.

[MamaDearest]

Nobody wants to watch that squealing nonsense, so they opt for BOR.

BOR has gone downhill in recent months (we opted out when he joined the Obama Fan Club).

[tina07]

O’Reilly sees it, he is pandering to ZerO still hoping for that big second sit down ‘wit da man’, IMO

[TBP]

Obama IS deliberately destroying the economy.

[TBP]

“Why would President Obama purposely destroy the economy?”

Because, Leprechaun, he needs asany deserate, dependent, helpless people as possible and as bad an economy as possible to get his radical socialist agenda through and to get himself reelected.

A bad economy means more people dependent on the government which means more reliable liberal votes.

First, this commentator thinks O'Reilly is actually a conservative, which tells you everything you need to know about his political acumen. But let's face it, to most liberals anyone who is not actively leftist is a "moderate," and anybody with at least one conservative opinion is a "right wing crazy." The idea that anybody who listens to Rush would take O'Reilly seriously as a challenger is beneath laughable.

Having said that, O'Reilly is actually useful to us, because he is symptomatic of the boneheads we have to win over in order to control political outcomes: that is, people who think they're smart and sensible, who in fact know very little and whose reasoning powers aren't really capable of taking them anywhere. Most of these people (and make no mistake, O'Reilly is one through and through) see the National Democrat Leadership simply as an alternative viewpoint that needs to be considered, rather than as a bunch of rat bastards who have a need to run everyone else's lives.

I despair that O'Reilly is really educable in this regard, but if we can get just a few percent of the people who don't pay close attention to understand how thoroughly radicalized the Democrat Leadership is, we can make some real progress. And you may discover how to reach folks with that putative "thought process" by seeing what kinds of arguments are convincing to "archconservative" BOR.

[The Pack Knight]

"Why would President Obama purposely destroy the economy?" O'Reilly asked. "When that would damage him and never get him re-elected."

It certainly didn't keep FDR from being re-elected. He destroyed both the economy and the Constitution, and he's revered to this day.

[taxesareforever]

Bill has always been an obama apologist. I had to quit watching him. He was always defending obama. I believe that he signed on to defending him in order to get the interview with him.

[chuckles]

Somebody needs to remind BOR that there are people in this world that strap bombs on themselves and blow themselves up because they believe in something. Obama is a believer. He doesn't care about re election. His religion for over 20 years, for sure, was to destroy America. He surrounds himself with the same denomination so he can convince himself that God wants America destroyed. If he kicks the domino that destroys this country, he could retire in 4 years smiling, knowing that his name will forever grace the history books as the one who killed the Great Satin.

America must realize that even destroying America on purpose would still net him a 30% or so approval rating upon leaving office. There are that many Wright's, Ayres, Unions, ACORN's, Pelosi's and Fwank's out there to give him 30%.

[uncitizen]

I think that BOR thought that playing it down the middle was gonna work out for him. He didn’t have the foresight to see the Conservative Revolution coming when he started moving toward the middle years ago.

[YdontUleaveLibs]

“If you destroy the economy, you can still get re-elected by using a compliant media to put the blame on someone else (such as George Bush or Wall Street), and then promise the voters relief from the misery that you caused.”

**********************************************************

Well that tactic got 0bama in office once, I doubt the left sees any reason to stop trying it.

[Islander7]

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."

Because Mr. BOR Moron, the plan is to not have another election that will put Barry in any danger of 'losing'. Remember the fraud of ACORN, the thugs from SIEU, the plan to cook the 2010 census, force as many people as possible to depend on the gumermint for food, housing, medical care, etc. and on and on.

BOR is truly clueless or worse, a sycophant for Barry. Ask the GOP how going all touchy, feely worked out for them.

Reason number 7,842 why I no longer endure his drivel.

[GnuHere]

Exactly - that is a very naive question on BOR’s part. He has Beck on all the time to help his ratings - yet anybody who really watches GB would know the answer to this.

[MarkL]

Somebody might want to let the author know that BOR used to have a radio show... Key words are "USED TO."

[MarkL]

The thing is, BOR is NOT a conservative, and in fact, I'm pretty sure that HE would be the first to agree. BOR is a "populist," which means that he tends to test the winds before making his views known. Rush is a conservative.

On the other hand, while BOR has never claimed to be a conservative, his critics have labeled him as such, in order to try to marginalize him.

[bmwcyle]

BOR is angry he could not have an afternoon radio program.

[Clara Lou]

Ted Baxter— LOL!

BOR doesn’t want to be sitting across from Limbaugh. The outcome will not be pretty.

[Hot Tabasco]

BOR needs to stick to more relevant topics such as “body language” or trivia questions.....
