I'm sure Bill O'Reilly will think this through.

Well, I'm sure he won't because he's always so cocksure of himself.

It's important to read this short and clear explanation to Bill.

We can learn and I expect that is the reason Mr. Wiles wrote it.

[BfloGuy]

I suppose so many people watch O’Reilly because he says stuff people like. I’ve never found him to be more than a populist — and somewhat ignorant — blowhard.

[TigersEye]

I have never seen anyone work so hard to be so ignorant on a subject as Bill 0'Reilly has on the oil industry.

He has had politicians explain it to him, he has had economists explain it to him, he has had oil industry experts from all levels of the industry explain it to him and just last night John Stossel tried to explain it to him but he couldn't get a complete sentence out before 0bloviator shut him down.

Even critics of the oil industry look bewildered at his irrational hatred of "Big Oil" and end up defending the oil industry trying to talk some sense into his concrete skull.

[DeaconRed]

BOR is so full of himself and is NEVER wrong - - - That according to BOR.

The pricing of gasoline here in this country is puzzling. It is not supply & demand this time. We have ample supply no unusual demand so cost should be (cost of oil + cost to refine & ship + 10-20% tacked on for profit).
Gasoline & diesel is kinda like food. It is needed and there is no alternative except electric cars. Most of us can't afford to abandon our gas cars and buy an electric model. So we are stuck and are at the mercy of whoever sets the price for gasoline & diesel.

[Recon Dad]

O’Reilly has been on this rant for years now. Bill believes that we still live in the age of Standard Oil and the complete control they held on the entire industry. Back in that day Standard had such control over the industry they could maintain an astronomical price of $0.10 to $0.20 and up to $1.00 a bbl at certain times, that boogie man is long gone.
I believe the answer to lowering the price of oil is for the United States to really become a player again. Speculators fear stability and free flowing oil and the United States has the oil what we don't have is a government willing to let it flow.
If an administration stated they were fast tracking the GOM, Alaska and various coastlines and Federal lands. Cutting regulations and legal challenges in half it would send a message to the world we were serious. I believe the price would drop by half overnight.

Bill O'Reilly is a thinking man, a well-educated man, and a highly intelligent man.

HA! It took him a Harvard education to learn how to read a teleprompter?

[nathanbedford]

Of course it is O'Reilly's blatant egoism that is so obnoxious, but to us conservatives it is more interesting to think about its cause. Apart from the psychological drives which compel O'Reilly to interrupt and bloviate, he is the victim of an egoism which denies any syllogism but one that he himself creates.

This, incidentally, is a condition found in most independents. These are people who do not accept a framework, such as the Constitution, conservatism, the fundamentals of capitalist theory, for example, but approach every issue de novo. It is up to them to fashion anew the principles, such as the law of supply and demand, and decide whether they apply or not.

Usually, when picking a presidential candidate, they do not school themselves on the issues but merely for my snap judgment based on a television image, whether they think the individual "looks presidential." Most independents are not as egregiously and blatantly egotistical as O'Reilly but they are victimized nonetheless by the same rootlessness. This is why the work that Mark Levin does is so vital. It is needed today just as was the work of Thomas Paine or Thomas Jefferson in their day.

If you throw away the paradigm, whether it is the Constitution or the Old and New Testaments, you end up with Jim Jones or David Koresh in the religious sphere and Bill O'Reilly in the political.

On the other hand, if you are a prisoner to dogma or in bondage to a false dogma such as Barack Obama, you end up with a tyrant or a Torquemada.

Every time I watch O'Reilly, I am renewed in the conviction that we have to be very careful what we believe.

Now that's funny right there!

[nhwingut]

O’Reilly has been on a crusade defending Obama from oil prices, and going after oil companies and speculators.

[MinuteGal]

Krauthammer demolished BO'R last night.....at which point the weasley Bloviator completely backtracked, denying he had been urging Obama over the airwaves to use fascist tactics to control the oil industry.....which, of course, he had been doing.

Kraut recognized this backtracking and revision of history, and graciously let O'R off the hook.

The other night, little Mary Katharine Ham tried to inform O'Reilly some real facts on the oil industry's "obscene profits", but, as usual, she was interrupted, over-talked, outgunned and drowned out by the pompous big mouths of the host and Alan Colmes.

The statist O'Reilly doesn't want to hear any facts when it comes to his off-the-wall attacks on big corporations.

I always find it fascinating to observe the disrespect, verbal abuse and insults to their intelligence that the Factor's regular contributors constantly endure for the great privilege of being on his show....and, of course, the public exposure and regular stipend they garner is probably a factor, also.

Bill O’Reilly: What Presidents Obama and Carter Do Not Understand
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2783231/posts

O’Reilly “This is not a partisan analysis. When President Obama took office, I knew he was an income redistribution guy. In fact, I challenged him on that in our first interview during the 2008 campaign. But once elected I decided to give the president a chance to see if his economic vision, big government management of the economy, could turn things around.”

[Son House]

Earlier this week, O’Rielly had some oil guy on and after extracting the answer O’Rielly wanted, which we knew, there is enough gas in the US. O’Rielly had no interest into getting a full explanation, but I think the guy was saying,

...that just refining oil for the US market would be smaller volume and would end up costing more. But thanks to O’Rielly, we may never know...

[adorno]

I stopped watching O’Reilly many years ago, once I realized that, he was compromising his positions in order to gain a larger audience which included liberals. I don’t ever take anything he has to say with any kind of seriousness at all.

To him, a larger audience meant a bigger paycheck, the truth be damned.

“Bill O’Reilly is a thinking man, a well-educated man, and a highly intelligent man. “

BOR is a moron. His father told him the oil companies fix the market price.

[Red Dog #1]

I'm saddened (but hardly surprised) that all have seemed to forget about Section 9, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution:

"No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State."

[Spartan79]

Bill O'Reilly is a thinking man, a well-educated man, and a highly intelligent man.

I can't imagine what he ever said to give you that impression.

[vette6387]

“I’m sure Bill O’Reilly will think this through.”

Never use the words Bill O’Reilly and thinks in the same sentence. HIs ideas about oil are moronic. He seems to think that the oil companies “set” the price of crude oil. What an idiot!!!
