Guy At Work Just Told Me O'Reilly Is A 'Fair-Minded Liberal' WTF???
really. just told me that O'Reilly is pro-gay rights, woman-rights, minority rights. said he is a 'Fair Minded Liberal' and as a Conservative, he is about the only 'Liberal' he can watch.

said he has learned a lot from old 'Liberal Bill'

*slams face into desk*

5. This level of dumbfuckery indicates
somebody for whom Pox News is liberal because ALL news is liberal.

Closer examination might find he gets the "real" news from CBN and ranters on right wing hate radio.

He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep, awaken him.
He who knows and knows that he knows is wise, follow him.
He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a child, teach him.
He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool, shun him.*

Shun him.


*Arabic proverb, first two and last two lines transposed.

7. Loofa Bill's "narrative" is "middle of the road" / "no spin zone", etc...
I have a friend as well, who watches him as he thinks he's entertaining yet balanced.

I believe the word is "insidious"...

Edited on Tue Oct-17-06 10:24 AM by cboy4
to work for it's GOP propaganda machine?

Therefore, HTF could O'Lielly be a liberal? :wtf:

He would have been fired long ago, even if he initially had found a way to slip through the cracks.

FYI....that spineless little snake Alan Colmes does not qualify as a liberal, which is why they keep him.

13. Last night, leaving the hospital with my son, there was a car parked
in the parking lot with an "I trust Fox News" bumper sticker on it.

I was cracking up so badly, my son thought I was gonna puke.

I did put a flyer on his car for a Jim Webb rally, however, and wrote on the back

:Since you think Fox News is trustworthy, you won't want to come to hear a REAL candidate who won't screw over 1/2 the population along with 99% of the world:

over the past 10-15 years, so this doesn't surprise me, unfortunately.

19. minority and women's rights?
Edited on Tue Oct-17-06 10:31 AM by progdonkey
re: minorities, classic one via FAIR:

A transcript of the show demonstrates O'Reilly's highly imaginative memory. Here's how the interview really went: In support of his proposal to militarize U.S. borders, O'Reilly remarked, "We'd save lives because Mexican wetbacks, whatever you want to call them, the coyotes--they're not going to do what they're doing now, all right, so people aren't going to die in the desert."


http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1147

re: Women, from Media Matters just yesterday:

Summary: On his radio show, Bill O'Reilly falsely claimed that it "is never the case" that a "mother's life is in danger" during pregnancy because "you can always have a C-section and do those kinds of things." In fact, several potential pregnancy complications, such as an ectopic pregnancy, which is "the leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths in the first trimester" or preeclampsia, which "affect(s) up to one in seven pregnant women" can threaten the life of a pregnant woman.

Edited on Tue Oct-17-06 11:43 AM by Downtown Hound
A Libertarian opposes the drug war, strongly opposes the attack on our civil liberties that this administration has been doing, and opposes foreign intervention. O'Reilly is a Bush-loving Republican on every major issue except for two. He opposes the death penalty and he hates SUV's. That's it. He only claims to be an independent to confuse the morons that Fox News isn't a Republican propaganda machine. But if you look at O'Reilly's stance on the issues, he's Republican on 99% of them.

LIBERAL, then who, pray tell, would qualify as conservative, or right wing?
