BOR is a pompous weasel. REAL journalists don’t censor the news
No Spin, my arse.
Because they are cowards and won’t release the tape. Information coming from sources inside say otherwise. Censorship by the hypocritical gasbag dumbarse Ted Baxter aka Bill Orielly is all I see.
When Obama sat in that horribly racist "church" for 20 years, O'Reilly brushed it off and called Obama a "patriot."
The Gasbag wants the ratings that will come with an interview with Obama. That is all he cares about, and it's disgusting.
Gasbag's mischaracterization of Free Republic was unfair when he compared us to the Daily Kos people. He painted FR as a "fringe site" full of "hateful people."
O'Reilly is a jerk who panders to Obama while subsequently attacking Conservatives.
O’Reilly is nothing more than a politically correct whore. Who does he and Fox news think they are to protect Jesse Jackson from his own vile speech.
Or try: O’Reilly 7/10
It’s gone. The cowards at Fox News have pulled it.
Wow, they are cowards and brazenly so!
Oh it’s wrong, that is definite. I guess I was expressing my own disgust at the superstar status alot of the “groupies” (and that is a precise and correct word to describe these people) get down here. Atlanta City Government is over run by these types and their cronies. So many have Jr. and III’s to let people know who their Daddy was and that gets them contracts, into door on city counsels and so on. It is disgusting and affects the whole region. Even down to naming the airport after a MLK groupie. I suppose to the rest of the country it does imply a certain dignity, but to most of us, we know the gig so it means nothing. Martin Luther King was a great man, but alot of his family got the superstar treatment after his death and it went to their head. Not all, but alot of them. Corretta was expected to be treated like a Queen, and she was most of the time. I feel she was a good woman at one time. She certainly educated herself and that is admirable for the times she grew up, but even the best of us can let ego get too large.
Agree completely. O'Reilly is totally off base on this one and has lost enormous credibility. I purposely avoided watching his show the last couple of days because what he did was categorically opposite to what he mouths constantly about the other news organizations - selective reporting. In fact, I'll likely avoid his program from this point forward.
Yep...none of us is perfect, including MLK. I just wish people would quit trying to ride his (and others’) coattails and stand on their own, earned, merits rather than trying to fool everyone with bogus titles and empty gestures.
Bill O. is becoming more and more like Barry Goldwater. Barry was once a strong voice of conservatism and became a nasty old liberal who simply lost it in his old age. Bill has taken a few steps into liberal land and I have quit watching him months ago.
When FOX started out, the honesty was a breath of fresh air badly needed in American newscasting. The proof came via their growth.
That's when I started watching BOR avidly. For a commentator to actually apply a little common sense was fantastic. I rarely missed even one segment. He ran for quite some time, keeping his common sense mostly intact and his pomposity to a relative minimum. I thought he was basically fair, or honestly tried to be.
All of that is on a accelerating trip into ancient history. Now I will turn off segments now and then and turn him off whenever I hear the word "OIL". It seems like he has forgotten anything he ever knew about capitalism and has no idea about 'supply and demand' OR good old American ingenuity when it comes to problemsolving. Scooby 321 said, "O’ Reilly still thinks some Arab wakes up and sets the price of oil every day. He has no clue and I see his ratings going down as all he wants is Obama on his show." and I wholeheartedly agree.
My double confirmation that BOR was either dishonest or had the wool pulled over his eyes easily by his leftist staff members were his comments about two things that I personally have close experience with:
1. FReerepublic
2. Swift Boat Veterans and Kerry's lies.
Bill O'Duped-one got them both horribly wrong AND HAS NEVER CORRECTED THE RECORD ON EITHER

Don’t forget the “reverend wright” while you’re at it. That’s a very important title that none of these charlatans qualify for.
Personally, I find him to be contrary to almost everything I believe in. However, he did earn a master's degree from the University of Chicago Divinity School and holds a Doctor of Ministry degree (1990) from the United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. Since he also has a congregation, detest him as I do, he has earned the right to his Rev. title.
