Then you should extend the same courtesy to me. Deal?

I'm sorry. I don't remember posting about you. It is not my usual policy to lie about other posters but I will be happy to address the questionable post if you point it out. Thanks.

O’Asshole...go find another subordinate to browbeat into having sex with you. You apparently don’t have any other scruples left. Do you feel better now that you have your ass lodged so far up Obama’s ass that you can’t even see?

That's easy. It's because they've been gutless cowards on the whole thing every step of the way so the hyenas in the press know they're vulnerable.

By what I read here, it seems that alot of people have stopped watching him, myself included. I wonder if his ratings have declined since he called us all nuts for wanting to see BO’s birth certificate. That was the last straw for me.

I worked at a TV station years ago and February was always a Neilsen Sweeps month. Television time buys are based on how well the programs rate in specified categories. Advertisers put their money on the programs that have the highest viewership according to the results of the ratings. That’s why you’ll see the local and national news programs running their special interest series during the Sweeps. O’Reilly insults the birthers but he doesn’t hesitate to “use” them to increase his ratings.

A. C. Nielsen sweeps dates for 2011:
February 2011:
February 3 – March 2, 2011
May 2011:
April 28 – May 25, 2011
July 2011:
June 30 – July 27, 2011
November 2011:

Ok. I see from your reference that I posted nothing about you in my post. Only that I requested you not to post to me. That was because you posted some rant that had nothing to do with my on-going conversation and now you are trying to hijack this one. Please do not post to me. Thank you.

Also, the liberal media is doing Obama’s bidding. Obama wants all potential Republican candidates for 2012 to be forced to go on the record as either birthers or anti-birthers.
Obama will then launch attacks on those who identify as birthers. Thus far, none have.

Won't even stand for the most basic requirement of the Constitution.

And we wonder why we're in such deep trouble.

The O’Reilly Factor is still the undisputed ratings king of cable tv news, averaging about 3.2 million total viewers in all demographics. The next closest is Hannity at 2 million viewers.
But to put cable tv news in perspective, the lowest rated network news show is Katie Couric on CBS and she gets twice O’Reilly’s audience at 6.2 million viewers. ABC’s Diane Sawyer averages 8.8 million and Brian Willams at NBC gets just under 10 million viewers a night.

Yeah. They could at least hold congressional hearings. There’s no risk in just taking sworn testimony on the issue in a bipartisan committee hearing.

In this case, “sworn testimony” could provide little but hearsay.

Subpoena the docs.

O’Reilly leads off talking about how the unions are bankrupting America. Much reference to left wing media.

His next is the difference between CNN and FOX reporting on the doctors’ giving out ‘free passes’ to the striking teachers. Again, references to left wing media. Talking how the LWM are ignoring the protest signs but would have put them front page if the Tea Party were using such vile language.

O’Reilly brings on Bernie Goldberg and they dis Soros. Next they dis the LWM coverage of the Tea Party versus the WI teachers. BG makes the comment that the LWM has NO comment about the WI union demonstrators being almost completely white.
