Shocker! Bill O'Reilly defending Kerry and his Band of Brothers!

[zulchzulu]

I just heard it on the radio. Maybe he sees that this story could really drag him down in the soup.

[JI7]

1. Bill O'Reilly is still a prick, but he isn't as bad as Sean Hannity

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Didn't Hannity Get The Silver Star During Gulf War 1

Wait... That was another Hannity.....

[zulchzulu]

3. Agreed...but maybe the new RNC talking points fax is steering away

Perhaps McCain is not going to endorse Chimpy unless he condemns the ad.

We'll see.

[klook]

5. True

Hannity tells the most outrageous, provably wrong lies I've ever heard on the airwaves, with a straight face. Oh'Really and Limbaughcontin are jerks who distort the truth right and left (and often lie), but Hannity tops them all.

[Bombtrack]

12. He is as bad. Because Hannity admits to being a conservative republican

O'Reilly is worse because he's more of a fraud, with his whole insistance on, and getting dopes to believe in, the claim that he's even-handed.

[Bombtrack]

13. On this issue O'Reilly is just making a judgement call that this is

indefensible, and it's one of the few things he can point to to show that he "goes after" the right. Even though he does it halfheartedly and once in a blue moon. And he doesn't implicate "the republican party" as he does the democrats. And he doesn't go one time in talking about it where he doesn't reassure everyone the "left" is just as bad if not worse because of the boogyman Soros and the submitted Hitler ad that some random person got on Moveon for a matter of hours.

[JI7]

18. true, he knows it's a losing issue for Republicans

[buycitgo]

14. got that

one of my favorite lies is that he's a registed independent

then, Franken PUBLISHED his voter reg and it's marked rePUBLICAN

he said he musta checked the wrong box

sorta like the chimp, when he meant he WANTED to go to Vietnam, but hit the stay at home and act like a baby box

[Bombtrack]

15. actually he didn't stay home. He somehow managed to bum around Europe

It's amazing how such a destitute person could do that.

[buycitgo]

17. not following

bush never spent any appreciable time in Yurp

are we missing a connection here?

thx

[Bombtrack]

19. I didn't see that thing about the chimp. I thought that you were still

talking about O lie ly

[buycitgo]

21. kkk that's wudda thought

love that picture of the boys against bush, btw

[JI7]

20. i think he is referring to O'Reilly

[Poiuyt]

4. Did I hear that O'Reilly is having the Swiftboat vets on his show?

If he is truly defending Kerry on this, what kind of course do you think he will take?

[zulchzulu]

7. Although he loaded his schtick with some possible lies....

Bill said he was in combat while covering the Falkland War (this might be a lie), he defended how those near Kerry fighting would have a much more believable story than those 50 yards away as well as that the Navy wasn't exactly giving out medals like candy. If those soldiers had a problem with Kerry then , they could have made it known...

9. O'Really is a blowhard

who occasionally defends as he calls it "the far left" just so he can point to the incident and claim he is an independent.

Since the WH is staying away from this one he figures it probably won't hurt bush for him to give Kerry a pass and he can point to it the next time he is accused of being a rethug mouthpiece.

I think all but the most partisan agree that siding with the Swift boat crappers for truth is not a good position to take.

[Union Thug]

6. Waiting..

for the other shoe to drop...

[buycitgo]

8. HA!!!! you KNOW I love that sticker

NOBODY is resonding to that thread anymore

and what's the catch on OLiely?

there has to be one

[Shopaholic]

10. O'Reilly better be getting his ass on our side

if he knows what's good for him because come November 3rd--the party is going to be over for O'Reilly and his ilk otherwise!

[buycitgo]

11. typical OReilly exchange

[MrBenchley]

16. Guess the "Swift Boats For Truth" is such a colossal stinkbomb

even O'Reilly is tiptoeing away....

[obnoxiousdrunk]

22. He does pull

that kind of bull shit once in a while and then say I'm an Independant.

[against all enemies]

23. O'Reilly is just hedging his bets. The smart money is on Kerry.
