Then you are an easy touch to be conned. O'Reilly is a phony. He has no moral compass. He is ratings, popularity and poll driven.
Did you notice, when Laura called him out on his use of "Right wing?" She named Clintons, Bill Moyers, and others as examples of people who use that term derisively -- O'Reilly's respons? "Why don't they like ME?" or something similar. I think he meant that a s serious question. He wants to be liked by liberals. And the ONLY way to do that is to buy into liberal ideology.
Liberalism is a cult. It uses expulsion from the clique as a tool to keep its members in line.
He wants to be liked by liberals. And the ONLY way to do that is to either buy into liberal ideology, or, if one doesn't buy into it, to nonetheless parrot its tenenats and work to advance them.
Liberalism is a cult. It uses expulsion from the clique as a tool to keep its members in line. See how Zell Miller, Pat Cadell, and Bernie Goldberg were treated by liberals. The same mechanism is used in local schools, neighborhoods, etc. You want "in?" Toe the line.
I can be accused of a lot of things, but "an easy touch to be conned" ain't one of 'em.
