20. I went to collage and found out how much I did not know, where as
O'Reilly went and found he knew it all. Such is life.

3. Also anyone caught the veiled death threat on Franken on Dateline?
http://www.msnbc.com/news/969273.asp (Very Bottom)

O’Reilly: “It’s Fox unless they misbehave. Do something. Fox has been so good. I mean, it’s like I worked with you at ABC and I liked it over there. I liked it. But it was very corporate. Here, it’s more the Wild West. I love the Wild West. I should have been in the Wild West. And let me tell you something, if the Wild West, if it were me and the guy who wrote that book, there’d only be one of us standing right now.”

7. Macho, Macho ma-aan, I've got to be a macho man....
Bill. Your bones are too brittle.
He'd need a gun to take down Franken.
I'd pay money to see 'em wrestle, though.
Al would kick his ass.
Someone should.
This obsession is good for us. He is going to expose his true nature – bitter, vidictive buffoon –– to more people as this goes on...

24. I can't figure out why he's so mad.
There are no false statements in that book. What a loser.

5. Plus...

He is such a crybaby.

13. Is he unstable?
Yesterday on Imas (sp?) he talked non-stop about Al Franken. It's like he's got an obsession. He needs to let go of it.

This is stalker mentality!

21. I saw that on Imus too.
Even Imus told him he had to chill out. O'Reilly tried to tell Imus that these terrible left wing demons were after him too but I think Imus was getting the right message. Imus is a good friend of Frank Rich, who was the main one O'Reilly was ranting against.

I know Imus is an asshole, but I tape his program and fast forward to see when he has guests that I want to see. He does ask the questions that no one else will ask.

11. My favorite part of the Dateline interview.
O'Lielly said Franken lied about him. Stone Phillips asked him to expand on that. What "lies" had Franken said about him?

The gasbag refused to answer.

O'Lielly in a nutshell.

17. he's been saying that for a while
This morning on GMA he said that Franken is being controlled by powerful people. Charlie asked him who and did he *really* believe that. He said it was the "far left." He said it was no mistake that Franken was at a DEAN fundraiser. He also said he has changed his opinion on "that guy" (he wouldn't say Franken's name, IIRC), now he just feels sorry for him because there's obviously something wrong with him.

At the end, he told Charlie that he (Charlie) KNOWS who the liar is and who is telling the truth. Charlie said, "I do??" It was great.

25. So what?
We're supposed to be some VLWC out to get O'Reilly? :eyes:

LOL! Isn't if funny how lying, pompous assholes always think that people operate on their level. Do you remember how they acted like Hillary and others were crazy for calling them on the VRWC — which was all laid out in Brock's book — and now they think they can make the same claim.

22. Too Funny
Phillips: “Well, the standard is, is he lying about you?”
O’Reilly: “Of course he is. It’s absurd. It’s ridiculous. He—”
Phillips: “What has he said that’s inaccurate?”
O’Reilly: “Well, I’m not gonna go over that. I’m not gonna— I mean, all I can tell you is that I don’t lie. Haven’t lied about anything. He says I lie. That’s not true.”
A judge dismissed the Fox News lawsuit. And thanks in part to Franken’s book, O’Reilly is in a running battle with his critics. One favorite target is his personal history and whether he has sought common man credibility by claiming a more modest upbringing than he actually had. O’Reilly and his detractors have even skirmished over which Long Island town he called home.
Phillips: “Is it Levittown, is it Westbury?”
O’Reilly: “I was raised in a section of Levittown, OK?”
Phillips: “The house you grew up in is not in Westbury?”
O’Reilly: “It’s in a section of Levittown, which used to be called Westbury. It’s now called Salisbury.”
Phillips: “Levittown Post Office is that where you got your mail?”
O’Reilly: “No. It’s a Westbury post office.”
Phillips: “Westbury post office.”
O’Reilly: “The Westbury section of Levittown, OK? If you say you lived in Queens, somebody said, ‘No, you live in Jackson Heights.’ You say, ‘No, look, it’s all Queens, right?’ It’s all Levittown. It was built in one big tract, OK? And that is what I told everybody to get across that I had a very lower, middle class upbringing.”

23. and then after that
he said something like, "I mean, it was a two-bedroom, one bath house!" Like that's evidence of his supposed lower-middle class background.

I grew up lower-middle class. We didn't freakin' HAVE a house.

28. No, no, you have it ALL WRONG
It's the democrats who can't let it go, like about the appointment, er, ELECTION I mean, of the current president. Remember, WE should just let it go. I think this is a pot-and-kettle situation, something about who's blacker?
