The one thing the right is good at is feigning injury.


    Pat Robertson got is ass handed to him for saying that and he should have, But that's alittle different dont you think. HUgo Chevez is a tyrant. then agin some on the left feel the same way about S. Palin.

    Besides that...

    The only one I know that you're referring about is the comment O'Reilly made, again as always taken out of context.( and the right does it to ) I mean think about it Al sharpton was at the table with him. and if anybody was offended he would have been the first to say something.

    Not only that I've been watching Bill almost every night for like 8 years now and honestly yeah he can be a little harsh somtimes but he has never smeared a politicians family member. I 'll give you an example Joe Biden's daughter. He didn't even touch it out of respect for the family. Yet remember when Jeb Bushes daughter was in all that trouble over some prescription drugs ? The main stream media had a field day.

    The "joke" was obviously made toward 18 year old Bristol, but Palin made it about her 14 year old daughter in the attempt to manufacture outrage toward the the big bad liberal media.

    That being said, the joke wasn't in great taste, but it wasn't the worst thing that I've heard.

    But then again, I also don't think that Imus should have been ousted either. If you are offended by someone or don't like someone, than don't watch... simple enough.

    But was he calling for Rush Limbaugh to be fired when Rush took his shots at Chelsea?

    So, just so we're clear. BillO=always taken out of context. Dave=literally meant what he said?

    She was in town for the weekend. She was at a rally to raise money for a museum for William Seward, who bought Alaska from Russia while secretary of state, in upstate NY on Saturday. And she was being honored at an awards banquet for Independent Group Home Living Foundation, a nonprofit that supports people with disabilities on Sunday night.

    So Rudy Giuliani invited her to go to a Yankees game on Sunday afternoon when he found out that she was in town.

    Sorry man. Bill is not a "news analyst", he is a commentator. He doesn't analyze news, he strictly gives his opinion on it.

    For the record, while it was clear the joke was directed at Bristol...it was still in poor taste. However, it was just as wrong for the Palin family to spin it into a "Dave is a perv who makes jokes about children being raped". I just wish the whole thing would get dropped.
