I think Bill O’Reilly is tacking to the left — for sure.

[gussiefinknottle]

I think O’Reilly likes to take on conservatives to prove he
isn’t biased. Boortz does the same thing.

[marvlus]

I don’t think so. He’s just not a far-right person.

[driftdiver]

BO is right where he’s always been. The big bloviator.

[frogjerk]

I don’t understand why Beck is going on tour with this guy.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Maybe Bill needed to have someone on who actually served, in addition to those 2 young ladies.

[xsmommy]

i do think he tries to get opposing views on those segments. Hoover is definitely a social liberal and bill knows that. gretchen carlson generally is her counterpart in that segment and gretchen is usually much more conservative. cheryl cassone was sitting in for gretchen last night and i don’t know if he knew her views before choosing her or not. They agreed on the gays in the military and even the liberal hoover thought the tebow ad was fine, though she is pro-aborth, cassone has a problem with it.

I think BO has been tracking left for quite awhile now. I also find that the only people who seem to support Gays in the military are civilians.

Are there any other Vets or active duty here on FR that support the idea of Gays serving openly?

I don't know that I have ever seen any ex-military of active duty people who actually support this...

Margaret Hoover supposedly is a Republican strategist. She is an airhead who is very liberal on social issues (her claim to fame is that her great grandfather was Herbert Hoover). But she seemed fairly conservative compared to Casone, who appears to be a female version of Keith Olbermann.

First of all, WTF cares what two ditzy blondes have to say about it? They've never been in the military and never will.
More importantly, they are absolutely clueless to the negative impact this would have.
Culture "Warriors" my @ss.

O’Reilly has always tried to pick and choose which cultural aspects to support and which to reject. He wants to have his cake and eat it too - being libertarian here, conservative there, thus constructing his perfect society.

But unfortunately, that’s not our decision to make, since choices we make here have (sometimes unwanted and often unexpected) effects there. No matter how powerful we become in the game, we still don’t make the rules.

O’Reilly needs to be reminded of this adage from Francis Bacon:

“Nature can only be commanded by being obeyed.”

[Coldwater Creek]

Has any one of those three moron's ever served a day in the military?

For the life of me, I can't understand how one conservative can watch O’Riley, but then maybe his audience is all liberals, explaining why the other cable news outlets have so few viewers.

[Coldwater Creek]

Neal is a true Libertarian, with a little conservatism thrown in.

[xsmommy]

Casone, who appears to be a female version of Keith Olbermann.

and she didn't come off as very bright with not understanding why the tebow ad was being shown on the superbowl as opposed to the OSCARS? the OSCARS ??? i mean on what planet would THAT make a better venue?

[gussiefinknottle]

True. Has O’Reilly ever said he is Libertarian? I don’t know.

[Ann Archy]

DITZES!!!

People......THIS is what they have been teaching YOUR CHILDREN in SCHOOL and in the Movies!!! TEACH YOUR CHILDREN RIGHT FROM WRONG!!

[ronniesgal]

I did not get the impression that Bill is pro-homos in the military.
I can’t stand Hoover.

[Ann Archy]

Ditzes for sure!!

[bmwcyle]

BOR just wants to be popular in NYC.
