“It’s obvious you haven’t been here very long. This isn’t BOR’s first slam to FR. You are probably middle of the road like BOR. Conservatives don’t have any use for folks in the middle.”
How one faces confrontations or disputes with others is not indicitive of their political views. I consider myself a conservative and yet I do have use for other folks who are “in the middle”. I don’t think you nor I can speak for ALL conservatives. Those “in the middle” are good people too who just happen to disagree with me on some things, but when it’s time to vote, they’ve voted for the same people I’ve voted for and I’d like to keep it that way. Lord knows we need all the votes we can get.
As for BOR, it is fascinating that he is hated by the liberals because they believe he’s a conservative. He’s hated by some conservatives because they accuse him of being a liberal. And here I sit, watching his show every night and agreeing with him on plenty of issues, and disagreeing with him on others. I don’t mind listening to those in the “middle”, so to speak, it’s O’Reilly’s arrogance that gets on my nerves sometimes.
Left, Right, Middle....they all have their arrogant bastards.
He's probably closer to being a populist. Day in and day out, his appeal is to people who don't use ideology to form their opinions.
Freepers are and should be, ticked off because he's using a fabricated and inaccurate opinion of this site as a way to appeal to people, just like him, who know absolutely nothing about it. It's easy for him to label it a "hate site" and be done. It's consistent with his appearing to be an independent thinker. The fact that he's an opportunist and a ratings whore, with an ego as big as the moon, isn't supposed to be apparent because, you know, he's a regular guy.
If takes turns bashing conservatives and liberals, he's always have some of each tuning in. He's all about ratings, money and ego. Compare him to somebody like Rush, who has staff that painstakingly researches issues and events, and whose desire is to present the truth. Big difference. One is responsible with information, the other is not.
