"The irony of your show, and I don%u2019t thing you realize because you listen to yourself so much, is that your show is a constant spin."

He measures the spin only after turning off the lights.

It''s easy to claim there''s no spin when you refuse to observe the obvious.

I''d love to see a text chat debate similar to this forum, where each person gets a turn and the responses are limited to 1000 characters.

Bill''s would mostly be exclamation marks, I imagine.

Bill gets excited about a subject and he gets impolite. Som elike him, some dont. I like him because he does try to be factual, not just play to public emotions. Barney Frank should be ashamed and he owes America an apology. Bill was rude to Barney because Barney is rude to us. I agree with Bill.

"wah, wah, wah - O''''Rielly is a bully - smurfcrusher

Yeah, yeah - well it beats being a liar like that Obama POS."

This is about Bill O''Reilly, not Obama.

But since you brought it up, I noticed you didn''t mention "how" Obama supposedly lied. Accusations without evidence? Seems like something from the Billy O playbook.

I DID notice, however, that McCain has been lying about Obama''s tax plan. Obama didn''t change the plan - McCain is just lying about it. To summarize the plan: $250K: taxes won''t increase.
$200 K: you will get a tax break.

Simple.

Americans see McCain for what he is, and will vote accordingly. He and Moose Whisperer better start packing for home ''cause they aren''t going to the Oval Office.

O''Reilly is nasty because when he was growing up in Levittown, the kids he hung with frequently played ''church on fire''
Bill was always the church........

O''Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity should go away along with Bush. They can take Keith Obermann too with them.

Bill is a loud blowhard. He sreams at his guest, will not let them talk. Than he goes to break. Its the same thing. He only want to get his point across. Thats why Keith on MSNBC, has Greater Ratings than Bill. Bill is bias...

The way he acts ,he was likely picked on in Levittown-one of the kids who had to be put in the cub scouts for controlled companionship-calling Franks names was his only out -matching wits was a losing game for Bill.

I recently moved to a small city that has exactly two (2) AM radion stations. One''s a all-sports station and the other is conservative talk radio.

So with few available alternatives, I listen off-and-on to the conservative station. Rush Limbaugh is a bit of a boor.

Bill O''Reilly turned out to be a lot better than I expected. He can conduct a balanced interview. He''s politics are a lot more populist than I would''ve imagined. He still makes me grit my teeth a lot, but all-in-all, he''s a good listen.

And Dr. Laura Shleschinger (sp?) is not so bad, either.

Billy O is ok. You just need to bring your A game if you are trying to use his program to shove something down peoples throats. I don''t blame him with Franks. Franks is a crook and highly responsible for helping to engineer the colapse of the lending industry with bully tactics and left loon policy. Giving everybody houses was insane. It''s a precursor to what is going to happen when the "one" tries to socialize the country. There will be a tax revolt if he tries to turn it into a welfare state. He is nothing but an entitlement junkie. It''s the shadow of Chicago politics.

Why would you give keys to the nation to a man who 1. has no practical experience 2.has a bad history of hanging with some really unsavory characters 3. has a really radical view on taking from the rich (and he decides who is "rich") and giving to people who already don''t pay any taxes! 4. wants to add 40 million people to the public health care system which will force service rationing (just look at Europe and Canada) 5. raised 650 million dollars of which 200 million is untraceable(?) Wake up America! 80% of black folks will vote for obama simply because he''s black (Powell) and that''s not racist but if white folks don''t vote for him because he''s black their called racists?
He preaches "change". The change we will see will be another deep depression caused by adding more taxes to the people who create jobs forcing them to take their business elsewhere. The same happened in 1932.
obama has done a great job of "branding" himself and most of the media except for Fox News has been in the tank for him. When 70%+ of the military is voting for McCain that tells you something about how they feel about his leadership qualities compared to obama. His 1 page resume is no contest to McCain''s lifetime of service to his country. Like Schwarzenegger said " McCain has spent more time as a POW that obmama has spent as a senator". Well said governor.

"A Conversation With Bill O''Reilly"

wow, that WOULD be news. Usually O'' Reilly is just a bully.

Unfortunately for him, bullying dissenters is not the same as winning a discussion based on it''s merit.

I saw his "defense" against accusations of hypocrisy for not criticizing Bristol Palin for her unwed pregnancy anywhere near as aggressively as Jaime Lynn Spears. It was bizarre, he was basically saying Bristol was supervised as she was...impregnated. Not so credible. It''s on YouTube and highly entertaining to watch Bill spin like a dust devil.

here''s a write-up for your viewing pleasure:

Bill O''Reilly needs to shut up and go away. He is a no good SOB and he has no sents. He is a dumb A&& and he is wort-less. He is a wast of TV time.

What my cat leaves in her litter-box each day is worth more than anything that comes out of this sexual harrasser''s mouth. (Same for that doctor-shopping drug-addict Limbaugh.)

No one loves O''Reilly more than O''Reilly. He is the typical bully. When you can''t reason, you start yelling and name calling. He likes to intimidate...he needs the feeling of power...typical of Fox News. He can dish it out but he can''t take it. Did you even notice how bullies are such thin skinned people themselves? A little like Don Imus.
