I disagree. He is an old-fashioned Irish Catholic Democrat in the mold of the 50s and 60s. He draws the line at abortion and socialism; he is a traditionaiist.
Slight difference. That is what O'Reilly sells*. His brand. He is a modern democrat operative whose assignment is to keep old-fashioned Catholic Democrats (visit Bayonne, NJ) in the fold. He draws no lines. He is a "Joe Biden Pelosi Catholic" at best. IOW, "I am personally against abortion, but it is not my business to make my views those of others."
If only these Catholic Democrat stooges like Chrissie and BOR actually knew how despised they are by the Left, because they are Catholics and "working clas!" They sold out years ago for crumbs from the liberal table.
BTW, O'Reilly seems to be going insane.
* This is what he sells his Left Wing Broadcast bosses. What he sold the public was the "Fair and Balanced" canard. He is a Democrat. And a Democrat operative. How long will this take to become widely known among us?
