O'Reilly appears to think (only) 75,000 attended the September 12th rally. Does he read the papers?

Did I hear O'Reilly says on the Fox news Factor that 75,000 attended the September 12 rally in DC? This guy is a fool.

Does he see? Anyone who has a brain can look at all the photos and know there where more than 75K.
BOR has become a caricature of himself.

Britt Hume totally exposed BOR who was complaining that the protest was “overwhelmingly white middle class” and there weren’t that many blacks and hispanics. Britt said well, the “United States is overwhelmingly white middle class.” Ted Baxter once again shows how stupid he is, it was the “folks” he always screams about who showed up in DC.

I think O’Reilly is worried about Beck taking his number one spot.

If he reads the papers, his figure of 75,000 would be confirmed. From what I saw, the MSM first reported 10,000. Then they moved it up to 40,000. Finally they grudgingly settled on 70,000.

O’Reilly also believes in man-made global warming and he stated that Zero produced a birth certificate that says he was born in Hawaii. He is proud that he got a degree from Harvard, but it is questionable if he learned to think.

What OR actually said was that he saw the birth certificate a year ago. But on the next show when he had two guests discuss the issue, he was strangely quiet about that.

No he’s not....he is at best a liberal, possibly a full fledged lefty. Subtle, as in Dale Carnegie, not blatant as in alinski.

O’reilly was working hard to defend Obama and attack the protestors tonight. He was pushing the “racist” lie, too, and making snide remarks about Beck. I think Billo is jealous of Beck and trying to suck up to Obama. I hope people wake up to what a phony weathervane O’Reilly is. Sometimes he really pisses me off.

I also think he’s only in it for ratings and book sales. Never wants to push to far from the middle ground. Classic example was his interview with Obonga. He claimed he was tough on him...HA HA HA. That whole interview was pre-scripted per Obongas henchmen. The guy is a complete farce.

Good job by Brit. He should also have pointed out that several of the speakers were non whites

Reverend C.L Bryant , Mason Wever , African Americans

Also Mario Lopez from the Hispanic Leadership Fund

Now how could that happen if the crowd are racists?????

” I also think he’s only in it for ratings and book sales.”

Agree, as long as it’s about him he’s supportive. Go a little off that track and he downplays the topic.

He slyly tried to get Karl Rove to diss Glenn Beck, but Karl in so many words reinforced Glenns fear of planned big govt agenda.

Bill tried twice and Karl stood his ground both times.....

Liked Ann Coulter the other night taking Bill one. She and Laura Ingrahm need to be on more to expose the bloviator for what he truly is....

Yes, on BOTH counts!

I wrote FIVE e-mails to him - with links to pics and one was a forwarded e-mail I had just received from Dick Armey talking about 2 MILLION. I told Bill whomever does his research should be FIRED.

I'm sooo mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like watching the Factor only when Laura Ingraham substitutes on Friday. It’s time to give this show entirely to her. She’ll double the audience!

unlike left wing protests where they are either paid or given free bus rides and free food and drink there had to be a hundred thousand who showed up Saturday in their own vehicles, marched the protest route and then left to go back home.. a revolving number where no set number would be figured or photographed

not everybody came at the same time or stayed (for one big photograph)to hear the speeches

1) B I N G O, and

2) BOR always talks down to BECK and pretty much treats BECK like crap! (It bothers me!)

It’s been obvious to me for some time that O’Reilly doesn’t read his research before taping a show. He makes so many gaffs as a result of it, it’s practically a daily occurance.

FedEx Field (where the Redskins play) holds 91,704 (seated). It would hold many more if they would be standing as were the 912 protesters.

Question: Is the national mall larger or smaller than FedEx Field?

Agree. Bill doesn’t seem to realize that a big part of his ratings are due his being the first “talk” show host on after 2 news oriented shows ( minus the commentary on the 6 pm panel).

O’Reilly is like one foot in old media and one foot at Fox.

he really cares that folks never label him as right wing.

Much of his show tonight was about race and his trying to be everything to everybody.

Juan Williams was in much lower than normal form..

btw...Juan...I am Sons of Confederate Veterans and my wife is UDC ...if that offends your Panamanian born arse then you can kiss mine (but not my wife’s..it too cute)

Using this type of math means that Bill’s show has about 75,000 viewers per night. I can just imagine his outrage if his ratings were computed this way.

He was very strange tonight, seemed to concentrate on the negatives from the rally rather than the positives and totall down-played the count, saying he used the fire department number... all-in-all, I go the impression the attention Beck is getting may be getting under BOR’s skin.

I had the same thought and this afternoon Maryann Marsh seemed to be pimping for Obama to repeat the “one” successful interview he did on Fox pre-election.. I think BOR is setting us up.
