Bill O'Reilly is Insane (and a jerk too)!
I'm starting to think that maybe the right wingers, especially the media types like Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, are showing signs of losing it. I wonder if its because the republicans have lost their majority in the Congress; all of the scandals involving the White House and republicans in the Congress; the conservative evangelical scandals; Bush's record low approval ratings; the failure of the war in Iraq, and the good chance of a Democrat winning the next Presidential election?

O’Reilly Lets Loose: Says WH Reporters Need To Be ‘Wiped Out,’ Calls CNN ‘The Pagan Throne’
In an interview with Bill O’Reilly last night, former White House press secretary Tony Snow said that his future career plans may include writing a book on cancer and possibly returning to Fox News.

When Snow revealed his plans to write a book on how to deal with cancer, O’Reilly responded:

O’REILLY: You know what you can do with all respect? You can combine how I deal with cancer with how I deal with the White House press corps. Because they’re both insidious, invasive. They both have to be wiped out.

Snow also informed O’Reilly that he’s considering returning to Fox News, but that he is also open to other networks that would give him the opportunity to do a “radio/TV piece.” O’Reilly responded:

O’REILLY: But you can’t go over to CNN. I mean, that’s the devil over there. You can’t. You know. You’re a religious guy. You can’t go into the pagan throne over there.

1. Why does he be given things? Have him work for them like everyone else.
Okay, I doubtlessly misread the article, but the G word sounds awfully socialistic...

2. Because they cannot open their mouths without being hippocrytes.
They run a type of radio show that needs an enemy and nobody but the GOP are doing anything wrong. Why they jump all over MoveOn.com - tis their only chance at sounding halfway deserving of their shows.

9. Good question
Let's hope his whacked out fans don't take O'Lielly too seriously.

5. The bitterness that embodies RW thinking is bubbling up to the surface
Republicans/RWers and their persecution complex are, in reality, the people they claim to hate the most.

6. Everybody's crazy but me.
That's basically the gist of his argument. CNN, the major networks, MSNBC, NYT. Basically FOX and right wing talk radio are telling the truth according to him. He also mentions left wing blogs as being hate-filled but rarely mentions right wing blogs that trump anything the left come up with in that regard by a country mile.

7. When SNOWjob said he needed to make money, O'LOOFAH said,
"You won't make as much as me." That's one sign of his values.

10. I think he is upset that he gets no respect from the mainstream news organizations
He knows he is fringe and becoming more and more fringe and it's eats at him that he gets no respect.
