Of course, he has to frame it with "depending on how the poll question is phrased" but he does actually put it out there to bounce around Faux news viewers' empty skulls.

If you want to skip O'Lielly's spin and pretence that he doesn't know what it's called, Hume starts at 39 seconds.

1. Yes, when you leave out evil words like "single payer" or "public option"

And just give the details instead, EVERYONE loves the idea.

The second you put any of those buzz words in, the sheeple revolt because they've been programmed that way... Key Words = Pavlovian Response.

3. Too funny

What is it the "public sector"? Whatever . . . lol. Its amazing ANYBODY gives this guy ANY credibility.

4. Is not done by accident.

He is signalling to his viewers that it is completely ok to not know the facts (even though he probably does - and can't work with those) and that it is complicated mess that you cannot understand - and therefore should fear.

Cynical at best. But hey, hardly a surprise.

5. Of course!

That's what makes him so unwatchable to me and exactly why I wonder why anyone would listen to him. Awful man!
