that dip oreilly keeps pointing out that he gets flame mail from both the right and left. he implies that this is proof he is fair. what stupid thinking. all it does is give equal creedence to a lie. if one says the sky is blue and one says it is green.. and you get flamed from both sides on the issue it that is not an indication of impartiallity.

Its amazing how all the media folks spent weeks on end digging into the completely false claims made against Bush's Guard Service.

YET THEY WON'T EVEN TOUCH THE SWIFT BOAT VETS FOR TRUTH STORY.


And these guys were there. There are actually witnesses to the charges being made against Kerry.

Who needs the lamestream when we have the internet?

I don't think you get it. A majority of Americans STILL get their opinions from the lamestream INFLUENCE. We are still a great minority!

Maybe it's time to put some pressure on some of the mega corporations about buying out a few of these news organizations. They need to understand that they are sinking through the floor right now because nobody is buying their BS. Yes, they still have a residual influence, but someone needs to buy them out, put a conservative in charge of the newsroom, and start firing anyone who produces anything that slants.

I can't believe they (either Morris or O'Really) said the Bush Administration should have called the Swift Boat Vets.org and tried to stop the ad.

SICK! Bush should say NOTHING about it!

This has been one big "backfire". The truth will not get out to the public. It is so evident now that we are deeply into a media controlled world. Nothing will ever be the same again. Be afraid.

O'Reilly can be a huge a**hole sometimes. Tonight was a perfect example.

how far you are willing to go.

Nowhere near as far as it sounds like you're willing to go.

AND SHOUTING DOESN'T HELP YOUR CASE.

Slowly but surely, we're winning the media war. Be patient. It took the left 75 years to gain control of the media (and education) even with a well though out plan begun by the 1930's reds.

Fox News wasn't even a Factor in 96, and barely on the radar in 2000.

As for O'Reilly, he likes to grandstand against the right on occasion merely to support his claims of non-partisianship. But he DOES respond to mashing from us, as note his turn around re WMD that he initially went after Bush on.

Don't stop watching O'Reilly, because if we all left he would join the Dems. O'Reilly is after audience, and if we stick with him, he'll stick with us.

Me too. How are we going to structure this leveraged buyout and a small equity stake. I'm in for a couple of shares.

Must be a lot of peeps going to the swiftvets site to check out what all the fuss is about because I have not been able to get through for awhile. Site must be getting hammered.

Funny thing is as long as they play the ad, who cares what they say about it.

Exactly, the Passion was trashed and most of Micheal Moore's press was bad, but they both show that any press is good press. The people will see and decide for themselves.

Mr. NoSpinZone has already judged the add and assumes that the statements of all the vets are false and malicious.

He's not only made that assumption, which concludes 8-10 decorated vets are lying and Kerry, a man whose veracity is always in question, is telling the truth. He then went one further and said the administration should have tried to stop it.

What an ass.

I can't wait to see the "mail" segment tomorrow.

What are we going to do about it?

Move onto other topics. Use the same starkness to talk about Kerry's Senate career.

Bush should simply dismiss the whole thing by saying "I'm not going to criticize what my opponent did 30 years ago. I want to focus on how he's performing in his current job. That's a better indicator of his qualifications to take my job."

It's like what the ancient Chinese warrior/scholor Sun Tzu wrote about good ground and bad ground for fighting. The victor chooses the battleground and makes his enemy fight there. So far, Kerry has chosen his stint in Vietnam 30 years ago as the battleground. Will Bush try to fight him there where his own record is spotty, or will he move Kerry onto more favorable ground, as in Kerry's current career and recent years in government?

Is the NYTimes a publicly held company? Um. Don't think so.

Would be a good idea if it was. The Times leads the news, and any other major media outlet wouldn't have the same effect.

It's unfortunate that on the one day the swiftboat veterans for truth have grabbed the media spotlight, their website has been down all day. They worked so hard against seemingly insurmountable odds to get the public's attention. No one but CNN would cover their excellent, hour-long D.C. press conference. Today I've heard their URL passed out on several radio programs, but it's not working.

To quote BO’s website preview of tonight's show: A new right-wing TV ad is very disturbing, which slanders Sen. John Kerry.

O'Reilly deserves to have his mouth taped shut for his behavior tonight. What an a**hole!

Send this thread to O'Reilly:

Kerry Threatens TV Stations Over Swift Boat Ad (Letter Contains "Obvious Lie"; BIG Kerry Stumble!)

Every vet in the ad says, "I served with John Kerry," but not one of them claims to have been in his boat. Most of the men are other swiftboat captains. They've been open and clear in their statements that they served in other swift boats operating within 50 yards on Kerry's side, and their statements are their observations on serving alongside him, not under him.

O'Reilly is the idiot he calls everyone else. How sickening.
