    If you think O'Reilly supports all (not both) views. Then you gotta stop watching US media man. There are tons of scientific and political conferences and debates published through independent and foreign media that does a much better job of representing all possibilities.

    The Agenda for example. I watched a debate on their about this whole Iranian nuclear power controversy and there was a hella lot of depth to the discussion. Things I never even thought about because major media ignores them. The best part is, nobody yells at each other and they learn from others as well.

    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    You know how Stephen Colbert makes a living out of his parody of Bill O'Rielly?
    Bill O'Rielly makes a living out of his characiture of the stereo-typical right-wing conservative.
    ...
    Both are in the entertainment business and are quite successful. People like O'Rielly, Hannity, Coulter, Al Franken and Michael Moore are making a living on the people who believe them to be real. They are basically the political equivilants of WWF Wrestlers... in that Bill O'Rielly is to politics as Hulk Hogan is to professional sports.

  • When Bill O'Reilly arrives in Hades, his penance shall be giving George the Animal Steele rusty trombone after rusty trombone after rusty trombone for all eternity. He is a true fuckstick, to say the verrrrrrry least.

    One of my favorite videos I've come across concerning Billo:

    Ha ha ha, that is funny but it's so true! These people just pander to their respective fringe, and get them all rilled up. It's stupid, and doesn't deserve to be on a serious news network. I mean there is comentary, and then there is comentary.

    I don't disagree with all of O'Rielly's views, but I still see him as a total shed. As in he's not just a tool, or a tool box. He's a fucking tool shed.

    The thing is that O'Reilly takes himself seriously, as do pretty much all of the conservative talking heads.

    Many of the liberal talking heads (Franken, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart) are actual comedians, and by default are entertainers.

    Yeah, that's a good point. He is so fucking dramatic in his comentary, and acts as if every issue is a matter of life and death. And he acts so self-righteous, to the point where if you disagree with him you are a "pin-head".

    He acts as if somebody has a different opinion than him, than he can't stand the other person, as if their views are so offensive. That is what I hate most!

    A fucking tool shed that is great. Out of all those talking head the only one I have an shred of respect for is Joe Scarsborrough, don't know if I spelled that right. Even though is pretty conservative, and I don't agree with him a good percent of the time, he seems to be a bit more open-mined and unbaised than the rest of the lot.

  • i like bill, you gotta remember, he's an entertainer, i also enjoy john stewart, they are both entertaining, but i tend to end up on oreilly's side of the argument more often than not, bill's funny, intelligent, well spoken.

    I used to love BO, he got me to start paying attention to what the hell is going on in the world, and to open my eyes. but to be honest I am sick of him always being(thinking) he is always correct and no other point of view is valid. He is a beligerant ass at times to his guest who he claims to give his last word too.....I do agree with much he says, I just hate how he goes about it the last 2 years or so.

    I have become a Michael Savage addict though...
