I think we all fundamentally agree with most of what O’Reilly preaches, but wouldn’t you say he goes overboard in his generalizations?

Yes.

I just don’t think O’Reilly is very intelligent. I don’t think he’s capable of going beyond generalizations. It’s for precisely that reason that, although I usually agree with him, I don’t care him for much.

His show isn’t worth watching most of the time … with the only exceptions being when a certain guest host takes over.

O’Reilly has his uses: specifically, he can be a real bulldog when he sinks his teeth into something, and when its a good cause – like the 9/11 charity debacle – then he serves a very useful purpose.

Most of the time, though, I’m just amazed at how simple-minded he is.

I can’t even tolerate his voice anymore, it just drips of contempt for anything positive.

Exactly right.

It’s both funny and sad, too, because once upon a time, it was the Left that embraced optimism and the Right that was (or was purported to be) dour and sour and focused on gritty negativism and realism.

Today, the “hip” Left has this whole shtick based on negativism, sarcasm, and cynicism, founded in a cynical distrust of just about everything. If you have something positive to say about just about anything, you aren’t welcome in the brave new world of 21st century liberalism.

It’s not just annoying, its frankly depressing. Even if you agree with liberal positions, their entire attitude today, their whole world view, is so bleakly pessimistic.

And Bill Maher is the absolute poster child for that attitude.

If you have faith in anything at all, if you’re proud of anything …. well, all you’re good for is a smirk and an eye roll and a condescending shake of the head … since you’re such a sucker for buying into the American dream.

I pity Maher and those like him.

I doubt Edwards’ healthcare plan involves gutting some of the, in fact, bullshit programs, which, from a conservative point of view, should be gutted, such as drug war money. Of course, military spending and implemented tax cuts I wouldn’t include in that catagory.

O’Reilly always paints with broad strokes, saying Edwards wants to cut in run, raise taxes, and socialize healthcare, which is more or less true, but Maher tries to actually go into detail as to why he disagrees, and O’Reilly counters with cutting him off, and then obnoxiously saying “but i may be wrong.”

I think we all fundamentally agree with most of what O’Reilly preaches, but wouldn’t you say he goes overboard in his generalizations?

Yeah, like I’m really going to sit there and watch an interview with THAT sh*thead!…lol….

I mean, if you saw Whore-aldo and Bill Maher sitting on the sidewalk (1st alternate- Juan Williams), would you be able to resist kicking both of the them in head and giggling uncontrollably as you ran away?

I’m giggling just thinking about it.

Oh, by the way….note to Bill Maher…Nice head, Bill! Is that your mother’s nose? And thanks to FOX NEWS programming for putting the pathetic SOB POS on during dinner!

Maher’s skin looks like 3 days until florescent lights in an unrefrigerated fish market.

GAH!

His assessment -in 2002, which got him thrown off ABC- that the 9/11 hijackers had “courage” (I guess sociopaths who sucker punch old ladies have “courage” too) showed me what a loser he was.

He deserves as much air time as Saddam’s feet got.

Ooouuuh.. you are so bad!!!!

If the playboy bunnies weren’t under direct orders from that other ugly geezer, Hef,

So right, Blake. Hef, Maher, and the Rolling Stones–faces that make a freight train take a dirt road.

In retrospect, maybe this idea of his that “they all do it” was his fantasy; of course then again with that face . . .

If the playboy bunnies weren’t under direct orders from that other ugly geezer, Hef, Maher could never get his knob polished unless he paid a hooker.

Bill Maher not a left-wing guy? Yeah, and he’s the Pope, too.

You are missing something here…
Maher is the center of the Universe!
Therefore of course He and Silky are not left wing.
Get it now?

I thought Maher was a Ron Paul guy?

bnelson44 on August 21, 2007 at 10:13 PM

Wow, I had him pegged as a Ron Paul guy.

TheSitRep on August 21, 2007 at 10:13 PM

Wow that is what you could simultaneous thought and action.
