o'reilly is probably my favorite of the conservative commentators...he will call Republicans out on things unlike a Hannity who you will never in your life hear go against a party line. But I think come election time when it matters most he has a tendency to be reluctant to criticize

I agree with you on that one.

Ann Coulter on the other hand....:p

I've always enjoyed his appearances on The Daily Show.

I try not to watch his show, though... too many shouting heads, poor arguments, and circular logic.

I can't believe some people still see O'Reilly as a conservative commentator. I listen to his radio show almost every night before I fall asleep, and he calls 'em like he sees 'em. I don't see much, if any, bias in his comments, except on some minor moral issues.

Well, he is extremely biased towards his own views (Well, most are ;)), but he is not biased in terms of being a puppet for the RNC like Coulter or Hannity.

Yes, that's exactly how I see him. He believes what he believes, and anyone that disagrees with him is an idiot, basically. I think he's conservative, but not a Republican.


I think he just tries to emphasize any beliefs he has that are not inline with the republican status quo so he can claim to be independent. He may not be always be a party line conservative, but he always seems very authoritarian.

O'Reilly is really a moderate without being the typical moderate.

His views fall on both sides of the aisle, but while most moderates are social democrats and economic republicans or vice versa; O'Reilly is different places on different issues.

For example, he is for the legalization of marujana; but against gay marriage.

There isn't alot of people who fall into tha category.

Either way I find all this very comical that the left is praising O'Reilly for a change.

I stopped watching him long ago but I never recall him being for the legalization of marijuana. He's advocated a form of decriminalization for possession of marijuana but never legalization. One time I remeber he foolishly brought up the idea that the US should use the same harsh police state tactics as China to win the war on drugs. It was pretty ridiculous because he actually thought China had no drug problem and had won their war on drugs.

she actually didnt get owned because she totaly dismissed anything he said and continued to say her own thing

Really? That does not sound like him...but whatever I'll take your word for it.

EDIT:
I found an example of how he is NOT fair and balanced. Let's just read from his August 5, 2005 "talking points memo" about the ACLU and how it supports UBL:

""Talking Points" could go on and on, but you get the picture. If the ACLU ever wants money, it should contact the Al Qaeda fundraisers. No organization in America enables terrorism as much as the ACLU, period. It is putting your life in danger. And that is no exaggeration."

Putting my life in danger? How, because the ACLU is against racial profiling? Hey Bill, ever hear of the 14th amendment? Or innocent until proven guilty?

Like them or not they have their place. Our system of government is set up with checks and balances and it seems that Bill does not like anyone checking on anything.


I guess O'Really should have looked into the ACLU going to bat for Limbaugh when investigators wanted all his medical records. Limbaugh has trashed them for years but was suddenly silent when they were working on his behalf. Ah..maybe he is right,Rush is a terrorist....

Ann Coulter is the kookist piece of crap on the tube. Ann "the man" Coulter(check out her adams apple sometime) is a RW flake that bounces from show to show with all the same ole crap every time. Terror,terrorist,traitor....

SNL did one of their Hardball skits with a couple of guests and Coulter. It was the funniest damn thing I've ever seen on SNL. They made her look like the complete FOOL that she is. But...she's so freakin stupid she probably felt like they were complementing her...

She acts like she's on crack, continually fidgeting, shifting her eyes, rolling her head.

I detest the tramp. Anyone so instantly dismissive of any opposing view is merely white noise.

I think we lost the Vietnam War also.

I have to admit, although I don't watch much TV, I'll try and catch his show here and there. My wife just rolls her eyes and says it's just people yelling at each other, but I think it's kinda fun.

The Military Channel and Food Network is where it's at ;)

Oreilly says war not gong well.

Coulter: Well, it can't be getting worse. "No Elite Republican guard mounting in Manhatten", so we're doing great. She actually said that 2 times.

Oreilly said we need more troops in Iraq to straighten the place up and to lower the number of attacks, up from 45 per day one year ago to 67 per day now and increasing in precision and severity.

Her response, we don't need more people. Do we need more people in New Jersey where people are getting killed by bears?, do we need more police in higher crime areas?, (paraphrasing what she said as I don't have Tivo :p). What a dip!

Oreilly would say something and she would roll her eyes and make those goofy facial expressions while looking around. She kept trying to overtake him and, at times, I couldn't understand a damn thing either were saying! :p

Rambling and jittering all over his show. hehe.

She's a complete loser and Oreilly is kicking her arse!!!

:laugh:


So lemme get this straight, are you libs cheering for O'Reilly now?

Is he not a mouthpiece for the RNC now, or is he still a right wing wacko? I mean, weren't we spending the last few days with the libs backing up Cindy Sheehan for refusing to go on O'Reilly's show because he was a right wing nut? Now O'Reilly becomes critical of the war and he's all the sudden a fair guy?

I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.


PS: Aside from the liberal hypocrisy regarding O'Reilly I agree that Coulter is an idiot.

What is with people lately and a total inability to understand issues that are more than black and white? I think O'Reilly and Coulter are both generally idiots, Coulter way more so. So I appreciate it when one of them gets called on the mat for one of the dumbass things they say, enough so that I'm in favor of it even if it's another idiot calling them out.

I sort of think of it like two terrorist groups going at it. I'm not a big fan of either group, but I'm always happy with fewer terrorists in the world. Doesn't seem that crazy to me.

Sounds pretty moderate to me ;)

As far as the war on terror goes, O'Reilly is classic right-wing, combining a flawed understanding of security issues with a rabid police-state approach to them. Maybe on other issues he's more moderate (but I don't think so), but when it comes to the war on terror he's about as un-moderate as you can get.

I stopped watching him long ago but I never recall him being for the legalization of marijuana. He's advocated a form of decriminalization for possession of marijuana but never legalization.

He had Montel Williams on the show where it came up. Montel suffers from MS (multiple sclerosis) and he finds that smoking weed kills the pain and helps his appetite because his treatments leave him nauseous and unable to eat.

O'Reilly did say that time, as well as other times, that he would support the legalization of marujana.

Do you mean there are actually people who think we won?

Dear god, they're idiots. Bill doesn't think we won the vietnam war and Ann beileves that we killed 50,000 terrorists... Bah

Transcript
"I believe Montel Williams when he says, 'Look, medical marijuana helps me, helps me cope with this disease, cope with my suffering. There's no reason why I should be denied it.' And I agree with Montel Williams that if this is the case, if a doctor -- a doctor -- says that he needs it for his MS, he should have it."

After reading the transcript it appears Montel convinced him of marijuana's medicinal value, but it's obvious he is still oppossed to a full legalization plan like alcohol has.

I loved the way the deputy drug czar approved of marinol but went on to say pot is snake oil and has no use. It's like saying caffeine pills are safe and effective, but coffee is sanke oil and too dangerous for use.
