O'Reilly praises Obama and Rove claims McCain's ads have gone too far

[cbc5g]

Am I in bizarro world?

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[Lancer]

1. Parallel universe. eom

[tannybogus]

2. The LHC apparently worked, and garbled the universe. nt

[sandnsea]

3. Trying to appear honest and rational

to confuse the moderate voters into believing they can trust them. It's the reason I run into puzzled voters. :crazy:

[maseman]

4. I told someone the other day

I think deep down O'Reilly likes Obama. Hear me out.

Let's face it O'Reilly is 100% ego. He had some HUGE ratings when Obama came on for the interviews last week. Obama stroked his ego a little and also gave O'Reilly the opportunity to hit the grand slam in ratings by going to the "Dark Side" of Fox Noise. Most Dems won't go there just like McCain would NEVER go on KO or Rahcel's MSNBC shows.

Obama also hit back and stood up to O'Reilly. I think he likes Obama.

13. It's funny, right before you said "hear me out," I planned to stop reading.

[AZBlue]

18. Well, and let's face it - O'Reilly has more to say when a Dem's in the WH.

I often wonder too how much of O'Reilly and Limbaugh is pure theatre, just stuff to boost the ratings. Don't get me wrong - I don't care if they are really Dems underneath, they shouldn't be saying the B.S. that they spew. But, can they be as successful as they are and really believe some of the stupid stuff they say? I don't know.

[maseman]

19. AZ Blue...you are dead on

I work in the ratings business (for radio) and I can assure you that is what it is all about. Of course Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly want Dems in the WH for entertainment purposes. I love how the sheep think that Rush is one of them. He couldn't care less about the Republicans or his listeners. He is a multi-millionare who cares about two things. Ratings and his phat paycheck.

Same with Hannity et al.

21. And maybe his drugs....

[Lifetimedem]

20. I think he is a jerk

But I also think he is more populist than Republican

[Ishoutandscream2]

5. To get on Billo's good side, appear on his show

It's all about scoring points with Billo, and Obama appearing on his show gave him points. Call me jaded, but I abhor Billo.

6. The Hadron Collider Shifted Us Into An Alternate Reality When They Turned It On

It's the only thing that makes sense.

[Cosmic Charlie]

25. May the Super Conducting Super Collider rain its blessings down upon us!!

[Catshrink]

7. I think they realize that the next POTUS will have a heck of a mess to clean up

after * and his team have destroyed our economy, relationships with allies, military, etc. So, they figure that since McSame has no chance of cleaning up the mess, they should support a dem getting elected. Then in 4 years they can claim that "See, Obama did nothing." and get back in the WH or worse, blame *'s mess on Obama. Don't trust Rove -- he's smart and shrewd. O'Really is a nutjob.

[liberalmuse]

8. Read the whole interview.

This sounds like Rovian bullshit. My bet is that towards the end of the interview, you will find clues as to what message he really meant to get out there, and odds are, it was derogatory towards Obama. Anyone have a link?

[progressivebydesign]

9. Pigs not only wear lipstick, apparently they also fly!!

Someone would have to be so completely devoid of humanity and intelligence to actually praise McCain for his lying and attacks.

[discopants]

10. Rove sees the McCain strategy of lying headed for failure and is trying to change it.

[vaberella]

15. He can't. McCain is in way too deep. He spent a lot of money on adverts and time slots...

he can't throw all that money away and has the established talking points. There's nothing to be done but for them to ride this out. They have about a 5 weeks left and they can't take any of those ads away.

You really see it when Palin is still talking and quoting her speech which includes the "Bridge to Nowhere" lie, but hasn't changed it.

[vaberella]

11. At this point I realize I'm no longer on Earth...Palin introduced me to enlightenment. n/t

[Catshrink]

12. Raptured by the Hadron collider?

[vaberella]

17. That should be the title of a new episode of "Terminator". However I could see TZ

anything scifi running with it.

[Riddler]

14. "You are traveling through another dimension......

a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!"

[kikiek]

16. McCain himself said the voters will decide if they like dirty politics or not.

He said that on "The View" when confronted about the lies after being asked about dirty campaigning being a voter turn off.

[Vinca]

22. Wow - up is down and down is up. Hell has definitely frozen over.

:rofl:

[RagAss]

23. Project X has taken hold !

[silverweb]

24. Good.

Maybe the O'Lielly clones who take his every word as gospel will consider supporting Obama, after all.

I don't care if O'Lielly's doing it just for future ratings. I just want the votes.
