Part of the 10% that never gets the word and, worse, is too lazy to find out
for himself so he makes up outrages as a gimmick to draw in viewers.


Let me come clean and confess all. A couple of years ago I did post some remarks that could be viewed as insulting to race-hustlers like Jackson and Sharpton because I thought they were bad for race relations and for the country in general.

I admit now that I was wrong. It is too easy for someone of deficient character, such as Markos Moulitsas or Bill O’Reilly, to spin the meaning of my words to embrace all blacks. That would be like saying that just because I dislike (or if you prefer “hate” or “loathe”) Bill O’Reilly’s puerile attention ploys, then I must hate all Irishmen. That’s nonsense.

Some of the best columnists out there are black: Sowell, Perkins, Elder, Williams, McWhorter, Blackwell and Cain, and that’s no jive. You can find them on Townhall.com. Every single of them has more wisdom and more integrity than Bill O’Reilly.

O'Reilly's a little like a beloved alcoholic uncle.

People love the alcoholic uncle and invite him to family dinners, but they are on edge throughout the meal and are relieved when another relative finally offers to drive him home. The hosts are especially happy if, when the evening ends, no one has a split lip and no furniture is broken.

When I think of O'Reilly, I feel sadness and disappointment, because his oversimplification of complex issues and his overbearing personality negate a lot of the good he tries to do.

One minute O'Reilly gets carried away with a cause and runs it into the ground. The next minute he permits only the shallowest discussion of an important topic.

I like the ordinary give and take of real conversation/debate about important topics. That type of discussion can be easily found with impressive regularity on FreeRepublic.

As a former O'Reilly fan, I'm saddened to say that I would not expect him to be able to control himself enough to really absorb what is posted on Free Republic.
