Question about O' Reilly's show. Can someone enlighten me.
I live in Korea and have for 10 years, so I have very little chance to see this lunatics show. I've been told at the end of his show he reads letters from viewers. Periodically he reads a letter from someone accusing him of being a liberal or leftist. My question is...
Does anybody know if these letters are real?
I mean, couldn't be just write them himself?
Because the only way I could see anyone thinking he's a liberal or leftist is if the person
a) Is stuck in an asylum somewhere
b) Is Attila the Hun
c) Is Sean Hannity

1. Who knows
I also want to know if Bill has a nephew in Iraq. I cannot remember who O'lielly was debating but at some point Bill mentioned he had a family member in Iraq. I am not sure that was ever verified.

3. = GAG =
Why would anyone in their right mind care what O'LIElly thinks, says, or does??

Don't you get Keith Olbermann (MSNBC) over there?

4. I don't know about Korea,
but we don't get Olbermann in the UK. I only learned about him from DU and eagerly watch every video of him I can find online.

It's a damn shame too: we get FOX News over here, but no MSNBC. I can't figure out who the FOX viewers are either, because I can't imagine the network getting many people watching in the UK, where Bush has about a 10% approval rating.

8. Sadly no.
But we have MBC, a Korean network with very leftist leanings. They have a commentator who bashes the GNP (GNP=Grand National Pary, not Gross National Product) and all rightwingers around the world three nights a week.

6. They could be made up...
...but my guess is that the e-mails are real. It's not because O'Reilly does much that is left-leaning, but because the people sending the e-mails are hardcore rightwing fundy's. They consider someone liberal if they wouldn't sentence all gays to death, or start each morning in public school with a bible reading, etc.

7. To believe the letters on faith...
...you also have to take on faith that Bush isn't spying on innocent Americans.

There's no accountability in either case. You just have to believe that these good people wouldn't do bad things -- regardless of the power to be gained.

:puke:
