George_Washington said:Bill O'Reilly was on David Letterman tonight. Did anybody see it? Letterman was very rude to Bill. He kept saying things like, "I just don't believe you." And then at the end, Letterman told Bill that people didn't like him. He also then admitted that he didn't even watch The Factor. When O'Reilly asked him, "Then how do you know that people don't like me?" And that is when O'Reilly said, "Well, maybe people don't like you."
I think O'Reilly is three times the man that Letterman is. If I were Bill, I wouldn't go back on his show. This is just another example of the ongoing wave of liberal bias in TV. Jay Leno is biased towards liberals and so is John Stewart. Saturday Night Live has always been very biased. I mean hell, I can't think of one conservative program or television host on mainstream TV.
As conservatives, we need to fight for greater acceptance of our people in mainstream television.

galenrox said:Dude, it's true, people don't like O'Reilly. I can't possibly imagine anyone liking O'Reilly
Engimo said:Er... are you saying that FOX News isn't a capitalization on a desire for conservatively-slanted television?
galenrox said:I watch his show religiously, same reason I watch elimidate, cause I enjoy to watch things that **** me off.
Ratings prove nothing. I despise the man, I think he's a terrible imitation of a human being. He's like if you took Lyndon Johnson and took away every positive attribute.
galenrox said:Come on, and you don't? I watch Faux News all the time, cause it's ridiculous, and it reminds me that, no matter how bad of I person I am, I could still be worse!
You've got to admit he is quite the douchebag!
galenrox said:come on, he's a douche.
Air America sucks, but so does conservative talk radio. I listened to ABC News radio, which is heavily conservative. At one point a lady called up and very politely suggested that maybe Iraq wasn't the right war, to which the host responded "How...HOW IN THE HELL could Iraq not be the right war? No, nevermind, you're an idiot", and then hung up on her. That's when I decided conservative radio was not for me.
The Real McCoy said:Never listened to ABC radio.. but my guess is that was an extreme case. Rush, as ridiculous as he can be, never pulls any **** like that. The guy can be downright hilarious at times, but that might just be me cuz I'm a sucker for some good old fashioned democrat bashing.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:Ya I like Rush he's spot on about the liberal agenda and he doesn't cut people off the air if they disagree with him he actually debates them, he had me cracking up today when a caller started talking about the Bilderbergers and then Rush said you can't forget about the Rothschilds and the Illuminati and the guy actually thought that Rush was taking him seriously, he can be a bit over the top sometimes but I think it's just in response to the liberal nut jobs he's always got calling him. As for O'reilly I read his book it was pretty good but on his show he talks to much about non-issues like the war on christmas and **** like that.
The only talk radio I listen to anymore is conservative, not because I take it very seriously but it fits my views (usually on Iraq) better and it's kind of comedic relief for me. Personally, I tend to avoid watching stuff that makes me mad.
It that was your purpose for a show, I would endorse it...galenrox said:why not? If I had a TV show and was presented an opportunity to publicly explain to o'reilly how much of a douchebag he is, I would in a second!
galenrox said:And by the way, you hear that knocking on your door? That's my dick, it's rolled itself out of my pants and all the way to Pennsylvania, it's there to strangle you!
The Real McCoy said:He's got the #1 watched show on cable news.

Oh my god, the lengths guys will go to protect their reputation.
As for the subject of this thread, I daresay Mr. O'Reilly has taken a few people by surprise on his comedy show. I suspect that was the point Letterman was trying to make. And hey that's funny. :mrgreen:
To quote the illustrious Missouri Mule, "What's good for the goose, is good for the gander." This one keeps coming in handy.
I consider O'Reilly a 21st Century Joe McCarthy. He's a race-bater, culture war flamer and sex offender.George_Washington said:Bill O'Reilly was on David Letterman tonight. Did anybody see it?

Jerry Springer had the #1 talk show. :roll:
People watch because he's controversial not because he's educational. And believe me, O'Reilly knows it. It's just as much of a skit as SNL. Of couse, only hidden under the assumption that it's news. :roll:

hipsterdufus said:Letterman carved O'Reilly a new a-hole, no two ways about it. For starters, O'Reilly started in on his bogus "War on Christmas" jihad, and Letterman had the cojones to say what no other network TV personality has dared: the War on Christmas is a fiction designed to agitate folks.
hipsterdufus said:(A Leno re-run the other night showed that the competition bought the anti-Christmas hooey hook, line, and sinker.) Then Letterman called O'Reilly for his months-long campaign of vilification against Cindy Sheehan, again being the first major network voice to call a smear a smear.
aps said:So Letterman gave O'Reilly a taste of his own medicine. Personally, no matter how much I cannot stand someone, I don't like to see them belittled. When people ask Bush a tough question, I feel sorry for him when he comes up with one of his poorly-worded answers--the poor guy.
I have watched O'Reilly in the morning, as he is on from 4am to 5am, and I am up and getting ready for work at that time. I think he is an a$$hole. Anyone who doesn't agree with him, he will belittle. He claims to be religious, but then exudes hate towards anyone who doesn't agree with him or is a member of the democrat or liberal party. Hence, my finding him to be a total jerk.
Regardless, no matter who is being belittled, it is disappointing to think that people LIKE watching someone treat an entire political party like crap.
