O'Reilly's Blunder Today

Posted on 09/16/2004 9:41:39 PM PDT by ArmedNReady

Today, on the Radio Factor, Bill O'Reilly had just finished telling a caller that he (Bill) had studied everything there was to know about John Kerry and his plans, when the caller asked him why he felt that Kerry would be strong on defense. The called said that Kerry said he would withdraw all of the troops from Iraq in 6 months, then 2 years, then 5 years. To which O'Reilly replied that Kerry never said he would withdraw the troops in 6 months and repeatedly to the caller that he was wrong.

"Remember the Ann Coulter incident when O'Blowhard said that Senator McCarthy was responsible for House UnAmerican Activities Committee?"

Did HE trash McCarthy???

Which is WHY he's caving into this barrage of criticism over the past years (frankenfraud, etc)!

O'Reilly has become a mere shadow of his former self, and the victim of his own celebrity and success. Seen it happen many times. He got too big, and he couldn't handle it. He was more concerned with being accepted by the "in" crowd that he became one of them.

The problem is he acts as if he does know. He told the caller that he was wrong when it is O'Reilly who is wrong. And when does Bill O'Reilly ever admit to a mistake?

O'Reilly also wrote a blurb on the back of Doug Brinkley's book about Kerry, "Tour of Duty"

"Doug Brinkley succeeds in humanizing John Kerry, something the senator often has trouble doing himself. Tour of Duty is an incisive look at a man who would be president." -- Bill O'Reilly

Something's definately gone wrong with O'reilly lately. I dunno if franken made him snap or what.

Clue for O'reilly: Act conservative, be popular. Act moderate or wussy, you won't be.

Yes. Her devastation of his argument was beautiful.

BTW, notice how none of her critics on the left or right can ever attack her facts, just that she;s either too pretty or too mean?

O'Reilly is just his 'stage name' - really, he's a Dumas.

Thank you. I've only listened a few times but it is the most annoying format. It says a lot that he has to have his own cheering section on the show.

I didn't hear them. I don't listen to his radio show or watch his TV program anymore. IMO he has wimped out on us, or as Laura Ingram put it the other day: "Hey, Bill O'Reilly, the people who made you what you are are tuning you out." To which I say: AMEN.

I think B. O. wants Kerry to win.

O'Reilly is the most insecure, uncomfortable-in-his-own-skin guy on radio/TV.

That is so obvious to me too.

He is dishonest......about the Ann Coulter interview, he dismissed her and always refers to her as a radical or extremist in the same breath with Michael Moore. She can trounce him in a one-on-one debate anytime!

Tonight my son made me watch O'Reilly cuz he saw yesterday's interview with Laura who thoroughly thrashed him. YET, he reads THREE letters complimentary to him and only one that supports Laura; BUT the one that supported Laura referred to himself as a right-winger.....in other words, it was a slam AGAINST Laura by intimating that her fans are all right-wingers and not fair and balanced.
My son (no right-winger) was dumbstruck! I had bet him that O'Reilly would only select letters that made HIM look fair and balanced. I figured that out by how he treated Ann Coulter and Michael Savage who always have some excellent points to make. My son had to concede that I was correct in saying that O'Reilly was arrogant and dishonest. What a fraud!!!!

QUESTION: If Bill O'Reilly and Dan Rather jumped off of the Empire State Building, who would hit the ground first?

Can we all please please PLEASE stop bashing O'Reilly? Sheesh, a few years ago we all worshipped him on FR.

I'll admit, I think he has lost his edge for at least the past year. It seems he bit off more than he could chew when he started talk radio. It's about that same time that his TV show started to get wishy-washy.

But please, folks, stop bashing him. He is NOT the enemy, the liberals are, OK? Thank you and have a nice day.:)
