What's up with BILL O'REILLY lately? Do you think he is afraid of the "fairness doctrine" or is he just showing his true side? My 82 year old mother asked me today, WTF is going on with him?
His ego and pride gets in the way of his God given abilities...he was a big man once but now he has lost the trust of those who used to like him.
O’Reilly has always been bucking for a MSM anchor job. He came out of the MSM and thus he shares many common values with them. So it is not surprising that he would pen his love letter to Obama in Parade magazine. [BTW, I have not read it. I have just seen mention of it.]
On the other hand, you will probably be pretty partisan if you don’t have a list of things Obama did that you like by the end of his term. I kept such a list in Bill Clinton days, signing welfare reform etc. So in this sense it is reasonable for O’Reilly to be open minded about Obama. It is very likely he will do some things each of like while clearly the early evidene is that he will be on balance terrible.
To all freedom loving Americans. Let’s face it. As someone on this forum said: “We are in a ‘cold’ civil war.”
It’s going to get hot. The 0bama gang is hell bent on destroying us and our country as we know it, and they are pulling out all the stops.
I have always felt that O’Reilly is a Liberal at heart who determined to make money in the Pundit field. He calculated where the most money was to be had and went to the Right, especially on the radio where he understood that Liberal talk show hosts tended to not make money. It shows occasionally when he gets caught on the wrong side of something because he speaks up before he has discerned the conservative viewpoint and he does not come to the conservative naturally. Sometimes when he gets caught out he backtracks, sometimes he just quits talking about it and, rarely, he bristles and attempts to instruct the Right on what its position should be.
With Fox's anti-Obama bomb throwers Hannity and Beck, I think O’Reilly feels he has to go out of his way to assure fair and balanced coverage from his perspective.
O’Reilly also holds several positions that anger Freepers and rightly so. O’Reilly really doesn't like anything to do with internet activism and the new media, which this forum is a part of.
Your 82 year old grandma uses that language?
I see your point. One must dig deep for a positive with this admin. I can only think of the blurb about going after overseas business accounts. Like I said, got to dig deep.
My 82 year old mother, wtf=WHAT THE FREEP!
When he started calling FR a racist site without any evidence, that’s when I stopped listening to him.
BOR pretends to be "independent" while straddling the line. He sides with liberals on "touchy-feely" things, then attacks conservative for being "far right crazies."
BOR is about staying popular and not offending many in the MSM, while pretending to "talk tough."
Balderdash!!!
Your mom is sharp!
Here’s what I think is the answer—he’s been threatened by Rahm Emmanuel.—See above article
“multiple major TV and Radio networks and anchors have been threatened by the Obama Administration on the loss of their licenses and more if they MENTION the Birth Certificate controversy on air. Furthermore they were given a list of terms they could use skirting and skewing the topic if it is brought up by a guest. Doug and Judi have original, signed affidavits, meeting notes, etc. secreted in several places, both inside and outside the country backing their claims.
“
In it, Vinny actually says he uses an experimental drug to induce fear in his patients to observe "The Tingler".
The experimental drug?
Lysergic acid diathilamide
Did your 82 year old Grandmother actually say WTF is up with BOR?LMAO
I agree. I think my list for the Obama administration is empty so far. And I worry maybe they will be so bad they will do nothing I think is good.
She’s a gem!
Bill makes me mad at times but I admit I tune in every night to see what he says. I have noticed that when Bill talks about others naming conservatives (Rush, Sean, Glenn, Bill O. etc.), he never corrects them and says—I’m not a conservative. I think he grooves to being included with Rush.
BO is a whore, plain and simple. I’m done with him.
I suspect the long arm of Soros has reached him.
