Then a few seconds later he read another quote "from another crazy right-wing blog"....thanks, Bill.
The dummy woman who's a regular commentator on the subject of "the Internet" and who was on with him for the FR segment tonight was just as bad, agreeing with his diatribes against "hate sites". This completely vacuous know-nothing-ette always agrees with everything he bloviates on because she obviously doesn't want to lose her sinecure on his show.
I've been regularly dissecting and analyzing BOR since the election and posting my observations here. My last post was on keyword "Obama's bid to supress", comment # 35.
Here I point out how the weasely O'Reilly has been defending Obama on nearly every single show since election. He even read an email tonight from a viewer who wondered why he always defends the usurper. She got a flip answer and the usual winning leprechaun smile.
Scratch the populist O'Reilly deep enough you'll find a populist liberal. He is, like Obama, an extremely crafty and effective communicator. His mantra of "being fair and balanced" and "presenting both sides" is presented smoothly to the uninformed. The problem is he's not grounded in any firmly-rooted political, economical or historical convictions because, like Obama, he's first and foremost narcissistic, everything on his TV programs revolves around HIS views and HIS emotional feelings on issues.
And if his guest pundits disagree with him, whether it's a right or left viewpoint, they are cut off midsentence and he moves on, because HIS view is the final authority. So, "fair and balanced" really means it's his guest's position versus his OWN position, not right/wrong.
I have studied this man's techniques. I've watched and noted the techniques he uses to control debate and remain in power over his participants.
Because he attacks and detests FR, compounded by the fact he gives the impression to the viewing audience that the entire FR "blog" is hateful, it doesn't take a Philadelphia lawyer to conclude that he loathes FR undoubtedly because he feels he is "bigger" and more "important" than a lowly "blog" site. Perhaps it might be because he looks over his shoulder wondering if some unafraid freeper may some day take him down like one our members did to Dan Rather.
Finally, since those hard-hitting rightists, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, have taken over two one-hour time slots and Greta is getting more conservative every night, Bill now has no where to go to avoid being a ditto to these three stars. His ego couldn't stand it.
So, having no chance to be a unique conservative star at Fox any more, he's neatly slipped to the left of Hannity and Beck and has ensconced himself as the "moderate", "centrist", "independent" and he can now reign alone in that position.
O'Reilly is as "moderate" as Alan Colmes is conservative.....only more clever, purposefully charming and smoother. At least Colmes is honest as to where he stands, and he doesn't play to both sides as does O'Reilly.
Why do you think BOR has mostly conservative pundits on every show? It gives him a chance to pooh-pooh their observations, knock down their conservative talking points and overtalk them with no respect for allowing us to hear what's being said.
Did you see last week when he was upholding the liberal position with Ollie North and then, later, Laura Ingraham.....both of whom were so deeply disgusted with him that the camera caught each of them with glowering, tense, taut faces....and then, LOL, the camera caught each actually ROLLING their eyes heavenward when O'R delivered his final, arrogant words before cutting off the debates.

bttt
I would pick you to be the Official Freeper O’Reilly watcher while the rest of us make sure we stay off FOX during the O’Reilly time slot! :)
Leni,
Let’s boycott his advertisers...let’s take the fight to him just like we do to any over liberal supporter. We are at war in this country and we need to stomp out this disease we like to call: PC.
BOR has obviously been completely infected and there is no cure except to get him off the air.
His questions even today are just long soliloquies which require the guests to sit there and be preached to. PSHAW!
