    he had Phil Donahue on talking about Body of War....and at the end he said that if viewers want to donate to Tomas Young, go to "pearljam.com" for details

    ps - i'm not a fan of his, but my dad is, so i hear his show every night from the other room...i came in to watch when i heard him talking about Body of War

    but it was classy of him to support a seemingly "liberal" cause

    cut of ur dads head, he's a ZOMBIE!

    I usually disagree with O'Reilly but that doesn't mean I'm going to disregard anything that he says. To pigeonhole someone as "of the right" and refuse to acknowledge what they say is stupid. I think he made a very good comment about rock stars and politics once, saying that preaching to the choir was stupid, and that if they want to make politics a priority, they should be expected to debate it with people who disagree with them, instead of just shouting out liberal slogans on the stage. Eddie Vedder, take note.

    Not to mention he's quite funny. But to be honest, I think the Ameircan news networks are pathetic. You've got Olbermann (sp) taking shots at O Reilly, O Reilly taking shots at Olbermann. Good for ratings but hardly professional.

    I've never heard Bill O say anything about Olbermann unless he was asked. Unlike Olbermann who's so obviously in love with Bill O which is why he's so fixated on him to the point that it's embarrassing. Don't think Olbermann could fill his hour show if he couldn't rant about Bill O.

    And that's not Olbermann hate talking; that's reality and anyone who watches him knows it's true. I know it's true because, obviously I watch him, too. See, that's how you get the news from all sides and slants.

    And then not be a sheep and go make up your own mind versus letting rock stars/actors/boyfriends/best friends make it up for you. Left wing, right wing, conservative, liberal....bored, now.

    O'Reilly is a fair guy. Yeah, he leans right, but he is thoughtful in his opinions. He's not Hannity.

    To his credit, yes he is not. Hannity is the anti-christ. I don't know if there is anyone in the world I hate more than that sorry piece of shit.

    I watch O'Reilly regularly and feel no shame.

    Thats unfortunate. I'm non-partisan, but Bill O'Reilly has been shown time and time again to be complete joke. I would also say the other networks are not much better. Its really a shame.

    I would agree with this view of O'Reilly. He is steadfast on his opinions, but they are "his" opinions and not necessarily the conservative right's opinions. He is not like Rush (who spews snake oil).

    I know that my super conservative friends always complain that O'Reilly every once in a while has "flawed views" (i.e. he disagrees with Rush and the super conservative right).

    He does ride a high horse though . . .

    i'm just telling it like it is, setting up the scenario

    my dad is older and hard of hearing, the TV is on full blast, i usually stop by my folks house around 8pm....so the O'Reilly show, along with Andy Griffith reruns, are shows that i am exposed to daily and know the ins and outs of despite the fact that I personally don't watch

    i think you are one of those people that take pearl jam too seriously on politics, and frankly I am getting a bad taste in my mouth because of it.

    Geeze where did that come from? He didn't even really mention politics in that post. So what if he was? PJ are very vocal about their views and opinions on politics we're allowed to be too.

    I would say that preaching to the choir is, with regards to rock stars on stage saying how they feel about current events and politics, is absolutely NO DIFFERENT than Obama or McCain out campaigning. Undecided voters and voters that support the other party hardly ever goes to the other's rallies. So all that soap boxing they did was also preaching to the choir. We could argue the merit of it all all day long, but in the end there really is nothing wrong with Eddie or any rock star that people follow and support artistically to say how they feel when they have the microphone and the attention of X-thousand people. If someone feels passionately about something, politic or otherwise, I would expect that to be a big part of what shapes that individual. Some bands sing about hot chicks, fast cars, and drugs. Others sing about more serious issues like politics, child abuse, and homelessness, and drug use. Neither is right or wrong, it all just boils down to personal preference as a fan.

    And Olbermann hasn't? Oh yes he has.

    No it's not unfortunate at all. Particularly so because I don't need O'Reilly, Olbermann, Sanchez or any news man or woman to think for me. I can watch anything and take care of the cerebral part all by myself so I'm better off for watching all of the news be it good, bad or indifferent.
