Actually. if Bill O'Reilly had any brains (which he doesn't), he would declare he is voting and supporting GW Bush. Pandering to John Kerry will curry him no favor with the vermin, liberal scum. They will put a dagger in his ribs in a New York minute, no matter how he caters to "Traitor" John Kerry. In fact, by turning right, O'Reilly will not only increase his conservative numbers, he will also gain millions of left-wingers who will want to keep tabs on the enemy. Unfortunately Mr. O'Reilly is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

> self-described "journalist" who dismissed Rush Limbaugh as a mere "entertainer,"

I wouldn't read too much into that one particular statement. For years, Rush himself has said that he is (A) not a journalist and (B) primarily an entertainer.

However, I will concede that those words sound particularly snide when O'Reilly says them....

[Gaetano]

I have been convinced of this for a while now. I think it is no small coincidence that it was CBS and Mike Wallace that he was sucking up to.

[auboy]

Last night he was equating SBVs for Truth to MoveOn.org

Anyone this lazy or disingenuous, does not deserve your time or mine.

BOR is not particularly smart. He was befuddled by Michael Moore and did not even try to take on James Carville. He is notably ignorant on anything of a technical or scientific nature such as "global warming". I now refuse to watch or listen to the bloviated fool. When I listen to Rush I learn things and get intelectually challenged. When I used to listen to BOR I just got disappointed and bored.

You may be right....He started out doing news for a cBS affiliate years ago. O'Reilly is a closet liberal. He has a MA from HARVARD, he plays TOUCH FOOTBALL, and he's (at least he claims) a freaking JOURNALIST! By the way, anybody ever been able to get a biography on O'Reilly? I did a google, not much there. Wonder what HE was doing during the NAM era? He treats the swiftees like the third rail. Makes me wonder!

"I understand he is trying to be "independant" but damn
the swift vets have been rock solid since day one, and his lefty pandering will not get him the interviews he wants."

My wife and I used to watch him, but we started seeing him drift to his now pandering left-leaning self when his popularity went to his head. He has become attracted to the left's attention as so many before him. He has forgotten, we are the ones who got him there.

O'Reilly virtually begged Carville to set up a Kerry interview for him.

Bill should have done a quid pro quo with Kerry before writing his blurb endorsing the Brinkley/Kerry's Tour of Duty.

Gee, they've known each other for 25 years, and BOR still can't get an interview with the guy?

[jrcats]

I quit watching O'Reilly a few years ago when he got in a shouting match with some guy. I couldn't stand to listen to me let alone watch him since. I have been watching the George Bush interviews but turn to another channel afterwards.

[jrcats]

I couldn't stand to listen to him (or me yelling at the tv) is what I was trying to say.

[NYCVirago]

O'Reilly made the offensive comments about "idiots" at the expense of the millions of conservatives in the viewing audience who generate the ratings that helped O'Reilly buy his wife a gas-guzzling Mercedes-Benz. O'Reilly, the "working class guy" who makes $10 million a year, told Wallace he doesn't set foot in the car and "I'm not driving" it. He sounded like John Kerry, who, when caught riding in an SUV to an environmental event, claimed it was really his family's car, not his.

Heh.

[NYCVirago]

O'Reilly is arrogant and egotistical. Sooner or later that attitude will get you. I don't watch him. I really have enjoyed Joe Scarborough on MSNBC recently. I think he has done better on "Rathergate" than Fox.

Scarborough has been really squishy on other Republican topics, but he's had the best Rathergate coverage by far, with the heaviest hitters.

[Helms]

O'Reilly cannot take on Rush directly so he attacks "Idealogues" and has done so lately and I don't like it.

I bet that if you got inside O'Reillys head you would find a ruthless ratinsg hunter, no real passion for ideas. O'Reilly ropadopes allot.

[Quick1]

Some observers suspect that O'Reilly, after having secured an interview with President Bush, is desperate to get an interview with Kerry before the election. In fact, when Kerry advisor James Carville appeared on his show on September 23, O'Reilly virtually begged Carville to set up a Kerry interview for him.

He's also extremely jealous of Jon Stewart because Kerry skipped O'Riely's show and went to the Daily Show. Bill had Stewart on a few days later, and was crying about this little fact.

[Helms]

O'Reilly dismissed Limbaugh? Bwahahahahahah.

You have to know that Rush is very very computer savvy-like Drudge- and I doubt that O'Reilly knows html or the web.O'Reilly is an old man. O'Reilly is not "New Media

Teddy Roosevelt once wrote about the legendary toothed fishes of South America. "They will rend and devour alive any man or beast". "Piranhas," TR determined, "are the most ferocious fish in the world."
