Bill O'Reilly is no fan of limited government.

Here’s the biggest problem: Costas sounded like Katie Couric (probably not a coincidence) in his follow-up remarks as he went off on one of these paranoid rants about ‘assault weapons,’ militiamen armed to the teeth and so forth. The cliches flew at a furious pace e.g. ‘why should a citizen have the same weaponry as the army?’ Those of you who own M1 tanks and howitzers, raise your hand.

At no point did he address so-called gun control in places that already have it like Chicago, Philly, DC, NYC, etc. nor did he admit that, as always, those who ignore the laws of today will ignore the laws of tomorrow.

Stopped watching O’Reilly back in 2004. He should take his own advice and stop with the bloviating.

There should be mandatory federal prison time for any person convicted of having a gun illegally.”

O'reilly's said a lot of ridiculous, off-the-cuff, absurd things, but that's got to be up there in the top 10.

Time for Goldberg to go (never happen). O’Reilly’s been doing this posturing as left-pf-Limbaugh forever & Goldberg even moreso. Call us “loonies on the right”.

Goldberg Monday said he talked to his buddy Costas Monday and everyone has him wrong. BR promises something tonight. More palp.

After the election BG cited a caller into Rush who prefaced “I heard that and I knew what was coming”. The guy calling into Rush had announced himself as a traditional conservative into family values or something. Heck- that’s me! The caller then said he didn’t vote for R/R because they wanted to reach across aisle. That’s not me Bernie so you had it wrong.

Late last week BR used the words kooks , nuts for values voters- those who vote on abortion/homo marriage 1st and for sure. He quickly withdrew that but his color’s showed.

BP/BG play fake peacemaker.

Give me Rush anytime. Tues or Werds he was saying the microphone is a dangers and announcers weren’t to blame for their errors, its the mike.

Mr. O’Reilly once was known by a more descriptive name given him by his students. RICHARD WITHEARS.

The remote is a wonderful invention, let old one eye bloviate on whatever subject he chooses, watch Duck Dynasty or some other highbrow show.

Most of you will get the descriptive name, hint: nickname for Richard. split Withears into two words. Any way he despises FR so bad.

You own it Barack.

O’Reilly is a self-satisfied, smug blowhard who makes a fool out of himself by showcasing his ignorance on a routine basis. I rarely, if ever, watch him anymore. But the other night, he was going down a list of Christian denominations-—Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, etc.-—and he included Mormon in the list.

He’s a Catholic, yet he’s clueless of the fact that the Catholic church officially views Mormonism as a cult.

For a “Harvard-educated” man, BO really knows how to demonstrate abject stupidity like a pro.

Costas, O'Reilly, Goldberg = limosene liberals who, one and all, rely on others for "security" that they demand be removed from the rest of "us" or our own "safety!"

They can all go straight to Hell!

I watched some of O’Reilly’s show last night, and it seemed to me that he made a pretty big point of the idea that guns and access to legal guns do not cause the crimes. Also that the football player was not a victim of anyone/anything, the NFL was not liable, and that Costas’ comments were not appropriate. So I think this article is a bit one-sided. (Or I completely misunderstood O’Reilly’s perspective, which is possible.)

Bob Costas is saying: So What??? So What if my comments were poorly timed??? It’s not like I made a monkey out of someone:

The glib Bob Costas has been eating a lot of shoe leather lately.

Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly and contributor Bernie Goldberg jumped to Costas’ defense Monday night and while they made some reasonable points, they also said some things that may just exacerbate the situation, and leave them looking a bit foolish. It's a pity, because both guys seem like honorable men trying to do what they believe is the right thing.
