Anyone else DESPISE Bill O'reilly?

[redivider]

I don't think anyone who hates O'Reilly even watches him. If they do, I challenge anyone to articulate exactly what makes O'Reilly so "right wing" and more importantly what he is wrong about.

Is he wrong that child rapists ought to receive harsh prison sentences or that people should be accountable for their actions. I doubt anyone can articulate what is bad about O'Reilly. If you think you can please do so.

i will not even humor the whole articulate why he is so right wing... just watch the beginning of his show ONCE...

why do I despise the guy?

hmmmmm... please answer why he paid the women off who filed the lawsuit against him... She states that he made all kind of perverted comments to her and he paid her to shut up....Why would you pay unless it was true.. read for yourself what the pervert said http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1013043mackris1.html

the people that disagree with him, he doesnt debate their facts, he calls them names and insults them, then say that they are wrong... while providing no constructive input of his own

i didn't say i disagree with him, because I don't really watch his show enough to know what his views are...

i just said i don't like the guy... and told you why...

he's rude and impolite, and does not know how to properly treat guests who might prove him wrong....

Hemlock, OORAH DEVIL DOG! The only reason people are against Fox is because they kill everyone else in the ratings. That makes libs mad, people aren't buying their crap anymore, and they realize the places they used to get the news from, don't report the news anymore.

 

[Mrphilliplesh]

its their job to be so crazy and to be so INSANELY to the right...dont let them bother you, its all a dog and pony show, the dems and repubs bickering back and forth...it dont mean shit...its a big fucking joke.
Rachel Maddow and keith olberman are just as biased towards the left.

They dont tell lies tho dude. everything o'reilly is based on is lies. olbermann and maddow shine light on the truth bruh.

OOORAHHHH SD morning Devil Dog

Libs can't stand it that he and others on fox kill oberman, copper and the whole MSNBC and NBC, CBS ABC...Mainstream media drools over Obama, at least fox report the news and lets you decide....
if hes and fox are so bad then why do they get the best ratings. Because fox delivers the news without the mainstream media spin. Sorry Libs proof is in the ratings.....I know you hate it. Don't hate....your boy will be in there for 3 1/2 or so more years. But he better get moving midterms around the corner and AMERICA has had it with this OBAMA

My goodness do I ever hate this foul piece of trash. He is a dirty old man , too -- along with being a COMPLETE fool and general a-hole. He was involved in some sex scandal BS w/some co-worker or whatever. I dunno-- it's out there. What a creep!!
I love how at the end of the "discussion"he always says to his adversary- "OK-- so and so- i'll let you have the last word." They say their piece , and then he immediatey makes another remark. Last word my hiney.

Yeah I DESPISE him.

here's the link.

Nearly every post against O'Reilly contains some form of ad-hominem attack. You see, that is why you Liberals hate him and others like him. You hate the fact that their arguments are well constructed, well articulated, poignant and make sense, while those on the Left nearly always consist of fallacious thinking and personal attacks. With the Left the argument always comes down to the other guy being a homophob, xenophobe, bigot, racist, misogynist, etc. The Left rarely produces an argument that is intelligible and articulable.

Never the less I will address a couple of the personal attacks mentioned. First, charges of sexual harassment. Its very easy to be accused of sexual harassment when you have deep pockets and a lot to loose. Women know this as do lawyers - its a great way to make a lot of money. As far as why he settled the case, most law suits are settled out of court. Many times its just better and cheaper to settle the case and make it go away than to drag it out through trial. This is especially true in a sexual harassment case because the burden of proof is almost nil. All the woman had to say is that she "felt uncomfortable" by anything that was said or done. It's also very easy to trick a guy into doing things that could easily be perceived as SH. At any rate nobody knows what happened and I doubt this is the reason anyone here doesn't like him. Its more probable that this is just another personal attack.

As far as him cutting off guests. That is something that tends to happen in debates - I too think this is bad form. But, I will say that a lot of times he has real idiots on his show and he is forced to cut them off in order to maintain the integrity of the conversation. Suppose you are talking to a 911 conspiracy nut who made one false statement after another. I am sure such a person would babble on non-stop with a bunch of absolute BS unless you cut them off. Otherwise, they would never give you a chance to correct their stream of misinformation.

But all personal attacks aside, is there a single issue that anyone wishes to show where O'Reilly is off the mark or is that too much thinking?

I'm a conservative libertarian. I watch most of what Fox presents. I tape all of the shows, so I can fast forward through the commericals. My least favorite of the bunch is O'Reilly, followed by Hannity, and for the same reason: They both keep interrupting their guests, making it very hard to follow the guest's thinking. I want to hear a liberal's viewpoint, just like I want to hear O'Reilly and Hannity's viewpoints.

I think the title of this thread is very telling: "Anyone else DESPISE Bill O'reilly?"

This brings up the question ... why are lefties so full of hate? I mean, I watch Bill Maher every week without fail. He's full of shit and really offensive to my conservative tastes, but I surely don't hate the man. As a matter of fact, he gives me good insight into liberal thinking, which is the reason I watch the show. Maher is a comedian, and comedy is nothing more than exaggerating the truth ... or in Maher's case, non-truths. :cigar2:

His movie "Religulous" or whatever it was called was such an over the top distortion of religious views it was laughable. He went out and found the biggest nut jobs he could and held them up as representatives of religion while omitting anyone who would have spoken intelligently on the issue. He painted a entirely false view of the subject and people are stupid enough to believe it was an accurate representation. I'm not a religious person but come on, stuff like that is just silly. And people hate O'Reilly.

Exactly. If Maher wasn't full of shit, and truly confident in his positions, he'd have people like Alan Keyes, John Bolton and Mark Levin on his show. Wouldn't you LOVE to see that?

Dennis Prager would make a fool of him. But then again Prager can make a fool of anyone.

you dumbass. the whole point of religulous is to show how stupid religion and the people who believe it can be. Of course he'd pick the biggest nut jubs he could find. 75% of americans literally believe the bible. maher just showed the stupidity of religion.

All this from a guy who doesn't know how to use capital letters or punctuation properly.

If you actually watched O'Reilly you would know he condemns that type of conduct as do I and most on the Right.

The difference is that the bulk of those on the Right largely distance themselves from these nut jobs where as the Left is largely composed of them.

And just so you know, that type of name calling reflects more poorly on you than it does on me.

Don't jump to the conclusion that he doesn't know how to use capitalization and punctuation, but rather think from the perspective that maybe he doesn't want to use them.

However, you're right that name calling hurts him more than it does you.

Name calling is a signal of low self-esteem (or low positive energy. they are the same thing. self esteem is just positive energy.), and only hurts your own psychology if the other person doesn't let the insult bother them.

 

[Dfunk]

Part of this thread is a clear example of what really wrong with shit...is it possible for people to stop name calling? Humanity NEEDS to work together if we are ever going to change anything.

 

[RickWhite]

People on the Left nearly always use ad-hominem attacks because they don't have strong arguments. Its typical.
