The only smart thing to do would be to watch Glenn Beck instead of BOR.
That's what did it for me.
>>That thought should have abated when O’Reilly publicly condemned the Swift Boat Veterans and said they had no right to say what they had to say.

Yep, I remember it well. And B.O. also defended Dan Rather.
You mean B.O. still has fans among Freepers? Go figure.
I wouldnt really say that jackson was a Civil Rights leader.
jackson has made a career of being on the balcony and getting MLK’s blood sneared on his jacket. Word is he got down and placed it there himself.
Here we have a man with no job, no Church of his own, No congregation and some say no right to call himself a preacher since he reportedly has never been ordained.
Yet his son owns a Budweiser distributorship thanks to extortion and Jesse Jr. has a Congressional seat, thanks to race baiting, and Jesse hiomself is a millionaire who allows Rainbow Coalition to pay his child support.
No: what we have here isnt a Civil Rights leader, what we have here is a smart con man, who shopuld be investigated under RICO if the govt. had any balls.
....better take your Vaseline, Bill.
I do believe you are right...
But, Sharpton and the Media Matters group that pointed the finger at Imus is aiming for Glenn now.
I don’t like sell outs and can’t trust them either.
I don’t like sell outs and can’t trust them either.
Sharpton is lower than whale shit, and O’Reilly would have to shit UP to greet him!
He not only condemned them, he said they had "no right" to say what they had to say.
Imagine that; the voices of combat veterans being squelched by a member of the media.
BO stinks.
O'Reilly is an enemy of the SB Vets and of free speech, and he's a friend of al charlatan. Yet he still has fans at FR.
I don't get it either.
It appears to be a subtle move by the Kerry side during the last several months to make the Swift Boat Veterans appear to be unscrupulous swine. There have been little things in the local media that are putting that bug into the people's ear.
At least locally here in Massachusetts.
I have seen nothing whatsoever anywhere that refutes the charges of the Swifties, and for some reason, this slow hammering away at them continues.
I suspect that it is Heinz money at work.
“At least locally here in Massachusetts.”
I grew up in Newton, and Kerry came to my HS several times to make anti Viet Nam speeches. So did Ted Kennedy.
“I suspect that it is Heinz money at work.”
Quite likely.
I had cut O’Reilly loose long before his Swift Boat betrayal. When during the Iraq invasion Bill O’Reilly made comments three nights in a row about how great the U.S. Army was now and how unlike the current Army was to the incompetent Vietnam era Army, I never watched his show again.
How does Bill O’Reilly know anything about the U.S. Army in Vietnam? O’Reilly never served. O’Reilly was then and still is nothing but a liberal Democrat draft dodger.
O’Rielly is a canny actor who is trying to position himself in the ‘reasonable’ middle. Everything he says is calculated to gain him a large degree of the conservative audience as well as the center-Left. He is not, in my opinion, without spin.
He regards Limbaugh as hard or loony Right. That is nuts. I doubt Limbaugh believes much very different from his father and grandfather or the millions who lived in their now dead and buried era. (Oh, hell, maybe he IS loony Right after all!)
One thing O’rielly does when he gets a caller who has an argument he can’t “reason” away, is to simply dismiss out of hand the callers concerns or argument. (Bloomberg does this as well).
He’s not looking after us. That’s for sure.
my comment (was meant to) relate only to the difference between Jackson and Sharpton ... Jackson was at least in MS when it was not a safe place to be for anyone, black or white, who was working in the civil rights movement. Let’s say JJ was a civil rights activist during the civil rights era (who has since become an incredible shakedown artist).
Whatever happened on the balcony, whether he fabricated his position or not, JJ was in MS, he was organizing, he was being an activist. Was Sharpton?
From what I’ve seen Sharpton has only gone into (what for him are safe) black neighborhoods to incite riots. Lately, he’s broadened his horizons to tv appearances and shaking down corporations. But has Sharpton ever once risked his life for the movement he claims to lead?
He knows what was told him by the liberal media.
What he beleives and why he beleives it is a different story.
O’Reilly doesn’t have any core values, he just simply tries to get the biggest ratings he can.
...not surprised. :(
