O’Reilly needs a bogeyman on the right so he can pretend to posture in the middle; thus, his groundless, transparent attempts to equate FR with KOS.
EXACTLY! And that was a lousy thing to do to take a cheap shot at Free Republic so he can make himself look "fair and balanced."
That act was both unfair and imbalanced.
You wonder why he thinks he has to appease liberals when they have nothing but contempt for him.
When O’Reilly did his anti-Reagan blasts as an over-rated President, I realized that he was a blow-hard and out for his own ratings and the heck with the cause. So the fact that he kicks FReepers should come as no surprise.
He says and does a lot of good things, but no warm place in my heart for someone like him.
Bill tries to extend a show based upon straight talk into the ability to analyze everythings worth.
This utilitarian viewpoint is not so far removed from the Rationalism he says is undermining Traditionalism.
He has chosen a hard road to principles.
To stay on top, he tries to be early in his analysis of social happenings and base opposition to or for government or public action on snapshot early impressions.
It is good to have a commentator ready to speak his mind but Bill ought to let the fact checkers and deliberation take a day or two to allow his considerations to fully inform his positions.
The biggest example was his first day overall approval of the Amnesty bill.
Yep. He’s really a chicken$#!& because he’s too worried those on the left think he’s a conservative. He makes this stuff up to “prove” his balance and to appeal to people who are ignorant of all these sites.
