I’m no fan of the “crashing BOR” but to be fair ... why do you slam someone for being dishonest, while dishonestly calling him a “fake conservative” when he, in fact, does not claim to be any type of conservative at all. He’s a dope, but he’s no conservative and to the best of my knowledge has never claimed to be?
That’s a fair comment...He might not claim the conservative mantle, but he definitely claims to be a “traditionalist” and a “man of values” when he’s really not. Bill O’Reilly is definitely a fraud, but maybe calling him a “fake conservative” was a little harsh.
He bends over backwards to be "for the folks" which to him means everything to everybody somehow. But I've never heard him claim be be a conservative and actually heard him take shots at Free Republic specifically calling us a "fringe" site. Others have spoken of other slights BOR has made about FR but I forget the specifics. I'd call BOR a man without principles myself, just a nose for ratings.
