Here's the next chapter in BOR's war against big oil and the evil "speculators". In a discussion about oil with Karl Rove, BOR said we don't need corn. Karl compared the oil market to other commodities, basically saying the oil market works the same way other commodities work: "Look there are 30 commodities that trade in the same way you are talking about........ like corn, palm oil, you name it."
BOR didn't like that and said, "but there is a difference between corn, and soy beans, and orange juice, and all these other things. You don't need them, you don't need them!" Then Karl said, "well you need food!!" BOR then said, "well you need food, but you don't need that food."
We all know BOR is pretty clueless, but this takes it to another level.
I saw it.
Rove called him on it but he disagreed
BO is an idiot.
O’Reilly and Rove.
Otherwise known as Pinky and The Brain.
I quit watch O’Reiley long, long ago. I got sick of his mouth and his idea that he is smarter and better than everyone else. I washed my hands of him, then I washed my hands of Flax News also. He is just a loud mouth ass hole.
O’Reilly is insane about oil companies. He’s really undermining any credibility he might have.
I think his father must have got fired from an oil company. Probably because he had a big mouth.
Does BOR know what bread,cereal,bagels, cake, pies, etc. are made of? Flour, grains, yeast? or does he think that stuff falls from the sky and the farmers pick it up every morning?
O’Reilly is a f-ing idiot. Hands down the stupidest man in TV news.
Who is this Bill O’reilly to tell anybody what they “need”?
he should stick to covering bimbos on spring break. and yes, please cover them.
Maybe he is hedging his bets and trying to score points with Barry (middle name must not be mentioned!) Obama.
Gotta love the Irish, O'Riley & O'Bama.
BOR is such a fool, he probably thinks eggs just come from the grocery store. He is annoying because he knows so very little about what he speaks about. He probably thinks corn is only used for tortillas.
He is always mistaken on facts, when cornered he refuses to admit he is a moron and is wrong.
How his show stays at the top is a mystery. I haven’t watched more than a few minutes in the last few years. I really do not blame anyone for not wanting to appear on his stupid show.
..the day he attacked FR—that was it for me...
I saw BO make a fool of himself arguing with Karl Rove. I just mae the comment last night that his show is going way, way downhill and I don’t see myself watching much in the future.
Oh wait! He just plugged a piece on booze and sex teen parties after the break. Evryone better tune in.
BO is a total jackass, it’s painful just waiting for him to say something stupid, which is guaranteed in every discussion.
I think that there is some underlying problem here that makes him deny that he was wrong, even after opponents in debates have let him reduce the argument to the absurd.
That is a common debating ploy, and one I have used to great effect.
When you see that your opponent is going to counterpoint everything that you say, you start reducing the subject to lower and lower levels of common sense and just let your opponent go for it.
Works like a charm, but the old Miami college professor, Bill, should certainly see the problem that he is displaying here
Oreilly’s rant on this was the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard him say, and that’s really saying something.
