Thank you for your service but Jimmy Carter ran to the right of Gerald Ford, the worst kind of liberal rino in 1976. Ronald Reagan narely lost to Ford in the GOP primary that year and to get even, we Reagan Democrats of the era, particularly in the south, voted for Carter.

Four years later we voted for a real conservative and then changed parties.

The C.O., a guy named Elliott, has already retracted an affidavit he signed regarding Kerry's medals.

Looks like the Boston Globe did not tell the truth, not Captain Elliot.

Before you stand by the SwiftVets, you better make sure they're telling the truth. The C.O., a guy named Elliott, has already retracted an affidavit he signed regarding Kerry's medals.

The so-called "retraction" dated August 6, 2004 <-- Mash here

Paragraph 3 "In support of the advertisment, I provided an affidavit dated July 21, 2004. I wholly reaffirm that affidavit with the following immaterial clarification as to the final sentence only. In that sentence, I state '. . . in connection with his Silver Star, I was never informed that he had simply shot a wounded, fleeing Viet Cong in the back.' That statement is wholly true. As the affidavit makes clear, I received no such report.

O'Reilly is just another media whore.

O'Bloviate is too obviously biased toward the middle. He purports to make his living by pointing out the absurdity of the extreme left and the extreme right. The problem is, the extreme left is far more active, numerous, and illogical. In addition, it has captured one of our two major political parties. Thus, O'Bloviate, in an attempt to appear centered, must overreact to anything done by those who are at least to the right of Joseph Stalin.

Last night, I was stunned when I turned on the O'Reilly Factor. O'Reilly and Dick Morris went out of their way to tell the audience how angry they were over the ad.

The "old" O'Reilly would have been more interested in the ad's voracity. He would have issued a challenge to everyone involved with putting the ad together to come on the show, and he would have grilled them to get to the truth. But not last night.

You'd think someone had naked pictures of him with Michael Moore.

Hannity didn't say a word

Good evening, pod. I now understand what the phrase "the silence was deafening" means. My wife and I were basically screaming at the TV for Sean to calm her down a little.

All this hyperventilating about issues that will be totally forgotten 10 minutes after the election is becoming quite tiring.

Hannity, O'Reilly, et al, will not make difference in this race.

Nada, nada, naaddaa!

These shows only exist for the true believers on either side. For folks who need to be upset or need to hear their views parroted.

TOTAL BS. Elliott has already gone on the record stating it was total dim fabrication, not misquotes, not misunderstanding, TOTAL FABRICATION by a "reporter for the Glob" who just happened to be an ex'dim employee. Check it out.

I happen to think they matter to off set the 95% dem media....that matters to me.

Hannity and Liddy and Rush are the only ones giving the Swifties a fair shake.....Gibson too.


Now the rest of the media spends months over W's Alabama NG records.

i loike seeing Kerry take heat.

People keeping up with the actual facts of the news? Are you kidding?

W. is going to lose and not for the far left's hatred but for the fact the so-called conservative movement has as many morons that can't think for themselves amongst it as do the Dems.

Face it, since about 1988 the average voter has gotten increasingly more stupid. And "conservatives" these days seem to live and die by the "one issue" and can't see the forest for the trees. Unlike the Dems that walk through life with blinders on as long as you mouth the right words.

O'Reilly's an opportunist.

I still watch, occasionally, and was surprised at the attack on the Swiftvets ad.

Then again, he was relentless on that private party "prom" a while back, and never followed through on those scummy lawyers in Kali.

Anyway, H&C probably lost viewers with that atrocious performance of Susan Estrich. (and the unending updates
of Scott Peterson. "...and Geragos' nuance today...") )

O'Reilly and Glenn Beck both seem to have some kind of issue...with the truth.

Republicans begin to fight back and everyone whines...

Screw them. The gloves are off...The truth hurts.

I already mailed OREilly and I hope he chokes on the email he gets, but he doesn't read it his staff does. He has probably hired some good looking, fast talking liberal female and he is running with her opinion. I quit watching him 2 yrs ago, he's just trying to get ratings...so don't give him ANY....we need all republicans to drop OReilly...period.

You can't run a show without ratings, its OReilly's time to go! He is over edge anyway. In beginning he seemed fair and balanced, but I guess since he went to the Grand Canyon with his old liberal camping buddies, he's gone Kerry. The pressure of WMD did him in, he couldn't see bigger picture of WHY we had to go to Iraq.

People like OReilly have only one candidate and that's themselves...and whoever can give him ratings. WE can only affect him by NOT turning him on, even if we go there to check out his idiocy...we give him ratings. So we make choice whether he stays or goes by watching or NOT WATCHING.
NOT WATCHING is my choice. He could care less about emails.

The purpose of the ADS are to open the eyes of ALL voters, so they can get the information on Kerry. There are republicans thinking of voting for Kerry based on issues like healthcare, and legalization of marijuana. They think he is OK since he served in Vietnam. SO that issue must be dealt with to show he is liar, and the other issues are only campaign promises (healthcare was used by Clinton and not done).

NO media...NBC< ABC< MSNBC OR FOX would bring out these issues openly, the ADS were done by the VETS WHO HAD THE TRUTH, and the book, in order to inform the public who were being BLASTED by KERRY's war record. I agree with the ADS, how else could they have got the information out???

From the out takes I've seen on FNC, O'Reilly did not do well with the question in the first place. Moore asked O'Reilly if he would send his son to be killed. O'Reilly should have said that 1) it's an all volunteer army so he would not have been in a position to send anyone, and 2) our mission there is to free the Iraqis and in doing so prevent a possible future attack against the US. O'Reilly offered neither.

And yes, hind-sight is always 20:20. However, O'Reilly lost the offensive at that point which is something no talk show host should do, and he failed to regain it.
