Right wing radio has created clouds of controversy over Kerry, but have the attacks gone too far? Bill investigates the right and wrong of talk radio, (Bill says)don’t miss this!
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Do right wing radio hosts go too far in comments such as those on Clinton's heart surgery excerpted below?
And what is the definition of "too far"?
Limbaugh said that Clinton opted for quadruple rather than triple bypass heart surgery to increase his sympathy ratings; Savage said that Clinton would fully recover because "hell was full"; and Simone claimed that since the Clintons "don't want him [Kerry] to win," Clinton's surgery "works out perfectly."

Comment during and after the show
Why is Bill O'Reilly trying to alienate his audience? And how come he isn't addressing "left-wing radio"? Has he ever tried to listen to Randi Rhodes? Surely he is aware of Al Franken?
Besides, Bill O'Reilly's show is insufferable. So of course he is attacking the competition which is better than he.
As opposed to the left-wing media which never goes too far.....
OReilly is quoting a liberal blog? After he assaulted conservative blogs yesterday?
This is a hoot! Rush used this as a parody of the Michael Moore nuttiness.
O'Reilly is a POS!
"De-yah's too much Free Speechin' goin' on out de-yah!"
O'Reilly is an egotist. Savage was pointing out some survey last night that Savage's hits were up this year and some other supposively conservative web pages were down in hits. So O'Reilly naturally strikes back leading with his ego.
O'Reilly is also spending much of the week sucking up to CBS. His idea of Fair and Balances is pretty weak in my view.
I won't watch...let O'Rielly fall behind a few other shows and see how he likes it.
O'reilly has lost it. I don't watch him anymore and apparently I am not the only one. He has taken his "independent" image to the point where he stands out as an obvious phony! He started out conservative. Now that he has achieved success it has gone to his head..he even refered to himself in the third person as in Rather, O'reily, Brokaw. He deserves to be on the ash heap of media elite history like the rest of the dinosaurs.
He is scared to death to alienate his RAT audience.
I quoted the liberal blog and their comments under my comment. Still waiting for Bill's rendition on naming names.
What is O talking about? All attacks on John Kerry's past would go away if he signed the 180 form. Or maybe they wouldn't....
BOR has got to be getting blackmailed-- that's the only explanation. Does he have a Shrock problem???
Yawn ...
Bill O'Reilly is hit or miss, trying to play both sides of America.
I tuned out OReilly almost a year ago ...10+ months and counting...he is too egotistical and crass...not at all "fair and balanced anymore"....He has drank the Kerry kookaid when traveling with his pals to Grand Canyon.
I think OReilly will be out soon enough, he makes too many people mad. Once all the viewers are mad, no ratings, show gone. You cannot please all the people all the time, nor some of the people some of the time, or any of the people any time....Please God and yourself, let the chips fall where they may, be honest and you'll never want for anything!
Savage isn't alone in his O'Reilly bashing...Laura Ingraham & her callers have done so & tonight Mark Levin put him down & then let the callers take over. However, after awhile, instead of calling him by name, he simply referred to him as "the talking points memo".
Oreily's radio ratings must be in the toilet.
He must be about to abandon the radio and he is bitter about that.
