Is O'Reilly Losing His Grip?

Today at, about 10AM PST, on the Bill O'Reilly Radio Show, O'Reilly stated that we have had no leadership in the office of the presidency since John F. Kennedy. He went on to say that before Kennedy, Truman was a leader. Eisenhower was not. And he went on to specifically disparage President Reagan as a "Figure Head".

[DWar]

He didn't explain why he thought Kennedy was a leader.

[taxed2death]

Reagan was an affable opportunist, nothing more.

He fumbled along at the right time. Calling him the greatest leader in the 20th century might be a bit of a stretch.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Ronnie whipped the Rooskies without firing a shot or drafting a single kid into the Army.
You say we ran up military expenditures ? I say; chump change.

[Fred Mertz]

Doesn't he claim to be Catholic?

[DWar]

No. But that is not the topic. The topis is "Have we had no leadership in the office of the presidency since Kennedy?". The corollary topic is "was Kennedy a good leader?"

[taxed2death]

You're last sentance says it all. When O'Reilly gets on and says "this is a no spin zone", he usually has a smirk on his face. He knows he's just twisting the knife in the liberal medias' back......it's all "tongue in cheek".

I find him a bit of a wind bag at times but over all, he has a good program. He touches apon the hot buttons the likes of which ABCNBCCBSCNNCNBC wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

That's why I continue to be a fan of his.

[stalin]

I don't think that you are correct when you say that he is pro-homo or anti second amendment. I've been watching his show for a very long time. I certainly don't agree with all of his positions but I've never seen him demonstrate those opinions. He isn't pro-homo but he might be anti-gun. I would be very disappointed in him if he were.

[stalin]

Did he explain why he thought none of the others were leaders ?

[DWar]

Leadership is about vision. Having a plan and surrounding yourself with people who can execute that plan successfully. Reagan may have had the image of a bumbling affable grandfatherly type person but inside, his values were rock solid, his vision and plan an extension of them and his success in implimentation of these, excellent.

[marshmallow]

Another fool mesmerised by the myth of "Camelot".

[DWar]

I have watched for a long time, as well and he is definately pro-homosexual.

[DWar]

"THE MYTH OF CAMELOT"

Exceptionally well put.

[Alberta's Child]

What you are seeing with O'Reilly is very common among northeastern Irish trash (particularly those from New York and Boston). All their principles get thrown out the window when dealing with Irish "leaders" like the Kennedy fanily.

[DWar]

With his pro-homosexual, anti-second amendment, anti-Christian values he is twisting the knife in the backs of many conservatives, too.

[stalin]

Well , I have seen him defend the fags but I think that he disagrees with the homo political adjenda. I don't think that homos would consider him pro homo.

[Keith in Iowa]

21. You have to believe that Senator Lott, who unintentionally made inappropriate comments when he congratulated an old man at his 100th birthday party, should be driven from the office that is 2nd in succession to the presidency But that Senator Byrd, who intentionally used specific racial slurs in a speach to the US Senate should be allowed to continue to hold the office that is 3rd in succession to the presidency.

BZZZT! WRONG!!

The office Lott was to hold - Majority Leader lof his party, has no place in the line of succession. The position held by Byrd until the Senate goes into session Monday - President Pro Tempore - is the office in the line of succession to the presidency, behind the VP and Speaker of the House.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

O'Reilly is staunchly pro homosexuals having adoption rights.

[DWar]

His investigation into the activities of the not-so-reverend Jessie Jackson is arguably on of the most productive things he has done.

[pt17]

Nothing unusual here. He's just one of the latest to (1) achieve some success, (2) start breathing his own exhaust, (3) get intoxicated with himself and (4) begin heading down the road the road to irrelevance. BTW and FWIW, it's my humble opinion that his radio show's just plain awful.

[DWar]

You are of course, correct. I didn't create that list and should have read it more critically. However your correction makes the primary point even more valid. Which is Liberal hiprocracy. Byrd's position is even MORE IMPORTANT in terms of presidential succession than Lott's and yet there was and is no hue and cry for his removal from office.
