I agree and O'Reilly is the prototypical blowhard. He
patronizingly and condescendingly refers to his audience
as "the folks" ,i.e., the poor dumb slobs that depend on
his courageous and relentless presentation to them of the
truth. Look at his phony e-mails: One says "You're a no
good right-wing extremist." And the next one he reads
says, "You're a no good left-wing extremist." Then Bill
smirks and assumes the contrived posture of the no-spin
moderate in the middle whose only interest is bringing
the truth to us stupid and helpless "folks." I've viewed
him less and less as time passes.
He's both a right-wing extremist and a left-wing extremist.
