I don’t think O’Reilly is treacherous. I think his defense of Obama has a “Some of my best friends are black” ring to it.
You could be right, but O’Reilly is much farther to the left than he is perceived to be.
Oh, really gets it right sometimes and he isn’t as bad as some on FR say but he IS a classic example of someone who has an inflated opinion of himself. Back in the boonies in ‘55 he would have been described thusly, “He ain’t neerbout as smart as he thanks he is”.
