...”At several points during last night’s show, the Red Eye host channeled O’Reilly’s trademark stone-faced gravitas, for example a point made about youth violence. “I think most of this violence happens because it can. And we have become more permissive and I think, parents and people are scared to confront kids because they fear they are going to get hurt or sued,” Gutfeld said in reference to the fights that broke out at the Mall of America. “You know, if you are on a subway, something is happening, you stay away from it because you don’t want to be bothered. One of these days you are going to have to step in.”
In that moment, Gutfeld quite nearly perfectly captured the O’Reilly ethos of personal responsibility, and communicated it very succinctly. But all the while, he was still very much doing his own thing”...
I would not know what to name it, but I saw that show and Greg did a tremendous job..I really like him..He is the best thing to come along at FOX in some time..His quick wit and his willingness to call “a spade a spade” makes me think he may be an honest genius. THE FIVE is a FOX program I DVR and watch on a daily basis..Greg is a part of that.
BOR has this ethos for everyone but himself. His ethos is that of personal irresponsibility.
He is a weasel and waffler without the abiding ingrained precepts found in those who support the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Rule of Law.
To cut to the chase, here's example of his unprincipled schtick...."Is Obama bent on destroying this country?....well, some of his policies are somewhat destructive in some folks views in some stratums of society in some areas of the country, BUT................................................................................no, I don't think he's purposefully bent on destroying this country, and he probably is actually a pretty nice guy and a good American".
Or:
"Is Obama a socialist or a marxist?.....no, I wouldn't say that. He's far left, that's for sure. HOWEVER.............................................................................................................................I don't think he's a socialist or marxist, he probably is actually a pretty nice guy and a good American. By the way, go to 'BORshill.com' which is not the same as 'BORfencestraddler.com' for my latest line of merchandise, tickets for my concerts with Miller, and a price list for my latest books....plus we have an new front door mat with 'Juan Williams Sleeps Here' on it......."
BOR's "ethos of personal responsibility" was also evident in his quick and low-key payoff to the suing woman who said he had regular phone sex with her.
He also never bothered to research what FR really is before he publicly attacked this web site with lies and unfounded allegations. But, then, as a populist, statist bloviator, he instinctively hates true conservatives. He's always using the leftist tool of moral-equivalency in placing conservatives on the "far right fringe" on the same level with the radicals on the "far left fringe" of the political spectrum. He does this all the time.
I wish Greg Gutfeld would have been free to really satirize O'Reilly while subbing for him, but, of course, he couldn't. I bet it would have been devastatingly hilarious to see the pompous ass harpooned as only the puckish Gutfeld could do.
