Obama To Appear On O'Reilly (FOX) Tonight!
Politico ^ | 9-2-08- | Politico-Ben Smith

Posted on 09/02/2008 5:31:27 PM PDT by tcrlaf

Senator Barack Obama will appear on Fox News' "O'Reilly Factor" tonight, a Democratic source tells Politico.

The move is timed to counterprogram the Republican National Convention, which is likely to drive Fox's ratings sky-high and to give Obama access to a conservative audience.

It's Obama's first appearance on the widely viewed cable show, and is a sign of what Vanity Fair today reported is a "tentative truce" between Obama and News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch.

Obama clashed with Fox News during the primary after it aired early reports suggesting he had been a Muslim in Indonesia. The relationship warmed in May, however, when he appeared on "Fox News Sunday" and told its host, Chris Wallace, that he was "looking forward" to appearing on "The O'Reilly Factor."

I’m pretty sure that civility is a thing of the past, on television certainly. I like Brit Hume. That’s it, that’s all.

That will be the day I watch C-Span for coverage. I don't want to see the low life. Obama is pushing the MSM to run the Bristol Palin bashing regardless what he says.
Hillary pegged Obama correctly and I sure hope the GOP doesn't fall prey.

What would a conservative possibly find attractive about Obama? He is “conservative” in the sense that Leonid Brezhnev was “conservative”.

More super smarts from the Obama Camp. They are all over McCain right now. McCain has Palin in hiding, no events at all today after the “hurricane holiday”. Meanwhile Obama let his operatives go crazy on the nutroot blogs over the weekend and then said “anyone who does so will be fired”. Over 50% in two polls for the first time. It does no good to deny it. Obama is kicking McCain’s ass right now, and Steve Schmidt better get off his ass and fight back hard.

If O’Reilly doesn't ask Osama about his drug use, his ties to organized crime, terriorests, and his preacher I will never watch his show again!

We have to pound this from now till Nov. because the MSM is NOT going to ask him.

How in the world can they go after Palins husband about a DWI when he was 22 years old and NOT ask Osama about his admitted use of cocaine???

” Wow! I’ve never seen Megyn Kelly so impassioned! “

Megyn was all over some Democrat last Friday , who was dismissing Palin as nothing more than some ..sniff, nose in the air..small town mayor.
Kelly demanded to know the name of the city where Obama had been mayor.

Exactly. Bill giving Obama face time during our convention? That is just wrong

BOR's audience is mainly conservatives --if they would quit being so masochistic and stop watching him, CNN, Mathews, MSNBC they would either change or fold

That’ll be a waste of time. BOR will loft softballs at him ‘cause he thinks he’s an OK guy.

We could email O Reilly and criticize he and Fox News Channel for doing this on a Republican convention night but it would do no good. O Reilly thinks he is the greatest and an egotist of such proportions. He claims to be an independent voter. Yeah righr

O’Reilly is a ratings whore and as big a celebrity suckup as Larry King. He will go soft on ZerObama.
