I know this is old news for you guys but wow! http://www.newshounds.us/2009/09/17/bill_oreilly_backs_the_public_option.php

1. Not quite, but I would like to congradulate Falafel dued

for almost getting it about the public option.

2. I will bet O'Reilly has been listening to the"folks" and did some

checking, bringing to realize the actual costs of Premiums.
Understanding the salary levels of the "Folks", he made
a rational decision. It is edifying to see someone like
him come forth with a position that is not popular where
he works.

3. That may be true.

4. On a side note

my Grandfather stopped listening to Limbaugh recently after he heard him call for segregated buses.

Republican pundits/commentators are scaring anyone who isn't extreme out of the party.

5. Broken Clock

Gets it right once in a while. But every time I find him agreeing with me, I always start to question my own beliefs to make sure I'm not slipping. Nope. He's just a broken fucking clock.

6. Master stroke .. It is an attempt to neutralize KO in the Ratings game

:sarcasm:

7. He is the least objectionable...

Much rather have people listen to him than Beck, Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, Coulter etc.

He does try to side with the "little people." And he does convey a sense of respect toward President Obama that I do not see in the others. Plus he is NOT overtly racist.

He kinda has a big blind spot on the abortion issue. He really does not get that third term abortions are horrific because most of these children are wanted, but have horrible defects or are already dead and that the women who have to undergo them suffer terribly from the loss of their pregnancies. His violent rhetoric against Dr. Tiller was disgraceful.

But, no worse than the others. Maybe he will be the one to stand up to the racism and violent rhetoric. I hope someone on Fox does.
