I'm just not sure...when he talks about "Conservative Kool-Aide" my blood runs cold. He makes off like he's a middle of the roader, and I frankly am a Conservative. And he's more than a bit pompous, a lot more than Rush...But...to each his own. If you like O'Reilly, that's cool...
Not me. The truth is that there are conservative kool-aid drinkers out there. That doesn't bother me at all. Loopy liberals exist, and so do coco puff conservatives. That doesn't bother me at all.
It's ok to be critical of some conservatives, their agenda, and their tactics, when appropriate. There's no doubt in my mind that there are many 'GOP Good, Dems Bad' types that don't bother thinking things through much.
There is also no doubt that some conservatives go overboard with their positions to the point that what they advocate isn't practical, and they just marginalize themselves. Recognizing this doesn't make someone less of a conservative in any way.
