I am constantly amazed at how intolerant the far left has become. Liberals, or "progressives" as they call themselves these days, don't want you to hear any opposing views. They want to stifle all public debate in this country.
The left dominates the mainstream media, including the big three television networks and most of the nation's newspapers. They have hundreds of thousands of Web sites and blogs spewing their propaganda daily.
They have their own radio network, Air America, although hardly anyone listens to it. They've infiltrated every sector of the education system and our courts. They control the Democratic Party.
But they still can't stand it when somebody wants to offer an opposing view. Conservative authors are routinely blackballed from television programs when they try to promote books. Liberals routinely disrupt speeches by conservatives on college campuses.
I was reminded of how intolerant the far left is when I read a letter to the editor by a "progressive" member of the Berks County Chamber of Commerce who apparently doesn't like the choice of guest speaker for the chamber's annual dinner in Reading, Pa.
The keynote speaker for the May 12 chamber event is none other than Bill O'Reilly.
While the letter-writer has the option of staying home when O'Reilly visits Reading, he instead decided to launch unsubstantiated attacks on O'Reilly, the host of "The O'Reilly Factor" on the FOX News network and "The Radio Factor" on hundreds of radio stations and author of several best-selling books.

Why are liberals so intolerant of opposing views?
This makes the left a very dangerous enemy of traditional America —
A Greenpeace guy with a clipboard tried to talk to me and I said ‘No thanks, I don’t donate to communist organizations.” He looked like he was going to start crying.
I have the Factor while I’m preparing supper, and I had to stop and watch with dropped jaw, as he and Geraldo got into a red-faced, spitting, shouting match over illegal immigration and drunk driving. Amazing.
BTW , did you see O’Reilly tonite in total appoplectic meltdown with Geraldo over an illegal drunk driving murderer? I’ve never seen him this angry and animated.... I really expected some producer to come on stage and stop it. I also thought he’d pop vessels on his forehead or have a stroke. BTW , I agreeed with him.
I know I could not beleive what I was seeing. Mr Geraldo Rivera can take all his illegal friends and go back from where they came!
Rivera better remember how, where and why he made all the money he made! It sure wasn’t from those he is defending!!
1.Unlike Trump, O'Reilly has his own daily prime time cable news show that airs twice a day and is #1 in the ratings race(unlike "The View").
2.By attacking Rupert Murdoch, she attacked the NY POST...which owns PAGE SIX(A section of the paper whose boss you really don't want to piss off)
In the end she truly overplayed her hand this time.
While I admire Bill’s staunch defense of the of our borders, I’m baffled as to why he has Geraldo on as anything but an entertainer. What does Geraldo know about illegal entrants?
I wasn’t aware that Rosie had paused in her effort to eat all the available supply of ice cream in the western hemisphere to take on O’Reilly—what’s that about?
I agree and thank Bill but it’s all entertainment after all.
Bring on the antagonists.
Thanks. I didn’t know OR brought up The Hippo’s retarded babbling about steel melting.
Your view is quite extreme. I guess we need to rethink who is intolerable.
Because the truth hurts.
