Mark Levin Blasts Bill O’Reilly for Attacking Conservative Talk Radio (9/26/2008)

Conservative radio host Mark Levin fired back at Bill O’Reilly Thursday evening after O’Reilly delivered a blistering diatribe on his own radio program earlier in the day, attacking conservative talk radio hosts for opposing a $700 billion bailout for the financial industry and calling them “idiots,” “charlatans,” and “right-wing liars.”

“What a buffoon,” Levin said of O’Reilly, host of Fox News’ "The O’Reilly Factor.” “He doesn’t want to talk about socialism. He doesn’t want to talk about the beginnings of this scandal. No. The same guy who claims to have led the boycott against France that forced France to do whatever France was supposed to do. What a joke. What a moron. He doesn’t understand. He is Ted Baxter.”

On his own program, O’Reilly initially threw some bricks at conservative talk radio in general.

I did a search and didn't see this already posted. So for all you self-appointed "posting-police", ping the Mod for removal and not me if it has already been posted.

I think O’Reily had been heavily invested in the stock market. So consequently since it is falling he has lost alot of value in his portfolio. He wants to lash out and blame conservatives for not doing more to oversee Fannie May and Freddie Mac when they had the chance.
Just my opinion.

Mark shouldn’t slander Ted Baxter. The real Ted Baxter, Ted Knight, was a WW II hero who cleared minefields and won multiple bronze stars!

Never have liked Mr. “Fair & Balanced” commentaries because they’re not. Just like McCain, he needs to admit to being a closet Dem.

How is that 700 Billion bailout working Bill? Oh it not what Prince Hank said it was and Congress never read it.

O’Reilly doesn’t appear to be a “deep thinker”.

I agreed with Levin on this and dislike BoB.

To change the subject slightly and more recent, just prior to election day (day before maybe) a caller asked Levin, “Why doesn't McCain ...” and Levin replied “look, WE CAN”T FIX THIS PARTY, you need to go out tell everyone to vote republican to keep....” Now I was already demoralized due to GWB and then McCain (anybody remember 1996 election loss?) but to hear Levin admit that our party is not fixable but it doesn't matter, because the other side is so bad, is extremely depressing. And it will NOT win elections, it's a disaster. But that was the message going out,not just him.

I much prefer Neil Cavuto a true conservative that takes both sides to task for their actions, more the democrats obviously. The mindless cheerleading insults my intelligence

I have only listened to Levin once and found his style to be too abrasive for my taste. But, he IS conservative. BoR is only interested in BoR and will change his position in mid air!

Oh, BoR is even more abrasive and if he ever stuck hit finger in my face, I would deck the MF!

If the campaign was a football game, the game-changing play came when the alleged "looming meltdown" was announced. The stench of this announcement was so strong that it still staggers my mind that nobody stopped and said, "Wait a minute.... You, Henry Paulson, just discovered today that there is an imminent economic meltdown so catastrophic that Congress needs to pass a $700 billion bailout bill by freaking Monday??"

It made no sense on the face of it, and I figured it had to be a setup. Then when Obama curiously and suddenly took a low profile I knew it was a setup. It was the Democrats' "October surprise", launched a little early and no doubt set up by George Soros. I have yet to hear anybody call it what it was.

Of course, McCain played right into the scheme by "suspending" his campaign and racing back to Washington on his white horse to take charge and fix everything and.... Well, who knows what he thought he could do. It doesn't matter, because he ultimately contributed nothing to the process and only made himself look impotent.

All the while, Obama kept his distance as he quietly sat and watched and chuckled. McCain ended up accomplishing nothing and getting almost no TV face time and after a day or two he bailed out (no pun) of Washington and made his way back to the debate he wasn't supposed to make... You know - - the debate Obama wouldn't agree to postpone? And Congress did what it did without any help from McCain.

Ball game.

I've been boycotting him since he discounted the Swiftboat Vets with reading their book. He also said he approved of the “Shamnesty Act” even though he clearly didn't read it.
I can't stand his bloviating spinning and slimming as he continues to save the world in his mind.

I have not turned on FNC or O'Reilly since Carl Cameron gleefully ripped into Sarah Palin using unnamed sources. Utterly disgusting. Hey Bill and Carl-if I am in the shower and someone knocks on my door, I also throw a robe on-does that make me a bad American you snivelling punks.

O'Reilly sees the fairness doctrine coming and is hoping that he will be the last one left standing after Sean, Rush, and the Great one are removed fronm the airwaves-which they will be.

I just can’t watch BOR any more. I don’t know if he actually believes in anything but himself. I would label him a “radical independent centrist.”

Oh please, he isn’t criticizing Ted Knight at all! He is criticizing BOR, and equating him with the CHARACHTER on a tv show.
