Republican - Sick Of Fox News

[Sea-man]

As a proud, active member of "The Partly of Lincoln" ... The GOP, I am SICK and TIRED of the fear mongering and poor research found in the average broadcast day Fox News.

The only person I trust at FOX is Bill O'Reilly. He's not afraid to tell the truth even if it hurts him!

The rest of the staff is negative and abrasive just because that is what they believe their demographics want.

If I wanted this kind of pessimistic, uneducated, uninformed criticism of Everything, I'd hang out with my ex-wife's family. At least THEY serve cold beer with the verbal diarrhea!

I called Bill O'Reilly and asked him if this is really a Chimpanzee sitting
next to girlfriend, because we are thinking about purchasing it.

You're no Republican, you're too dumb. Bill O'Reilly is an uninformed fraud. His knowledge of economics, history, and the Constitution is infantile at best. He's the biggest bloviator of all.

Quoting because I'm proud of you for saying this.

Lovely to see the Republicans feed on themselves.

Didn't Lincoln (as in Party of Lincoln) say something like this:

You may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can't fool all of the people all the time.

Fox "news" found out long ago that angry fear mongering = ratings gold.

It's the damn truth. It's sad how many people are fooled by this egocentric clown. Here's one American who has his number big time:

I have to agree with Levin on this one, though I wish he had taken the time to fact-check O'Reilly instead of just yelling at him.

Isn't it, though? It's like seeing an aquarium full of goldfish ternt feral after not feeding them for three weeks.

... plus, he treats women with great disrespect. The little twinkle in his eye does nothing to ameliorate his shabby treatment of Megyn Kelly: She was simply trying to point out the most BASIC concepts and case law associated with the First Amendment, and Bill insisted on interrupting and saying stuff like "Well, then, we need better judges!" in reference to 1st Amendment concepts that would deliver (on a related issue) a 9-0 ruling from the Court. His treatment of Margaret Hoover is not much better -- treating her as though she were a 12 year old catholic schoolgirl.

When some assholes stood across from a funeral service for a gay fallen (U.S) soldier, Megyn Kelly tried four times to explain why banning peaceful albeit repugnant demonstrations (of whatever nature) in the public streets would start us down the slipper slope to a tremendous loss of freedom. Bill wouldn't hear it: his "protect the folks" rants are boring, and Megyn Kelly's insistence that he address the issue, "Who makes the laws banning free speech and expression, Bill? YOU?" fell on deaf ears.

Also, for someone who makes an awful lot of money over the Interwebs, O'Reilly has the typicla knee-jerk conservative ignorance and blind mistrust of all things cyber.


The bottom line on O'Reilly is that, while he is socially moderate in some areas, his depth of understanding of American culture is close to non-existent. He supported the global warming hoax, saying that he believed that we should all "protect the environment" and dismissed people with differing points of view. When the global warming email revelations popped up, his show discussed them but he never analyzed why people like him went for the fraud in the first place.

Having his producers ambush people on the street, getting out of their cars, etc. is very low class and repugnant. Bill Ayers, various judges, etc. Then he chastises people as being cowards because they don't want to be part of his Comment and Opinion "Factor" show.

Lastly, in direct spite of my emails to him insisting that he stop saying that something is "different than" something else, as opposed to things being "different from" other things, he can't stop doing it. He needs a nun's ruler snapped right on those chubby hands!

That said, his book "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity" is a fabulous read, as it is not about politics, but about growing up as an odd-ball frustrated Catholic guy in America during the 50s and 60s.

I like how Karen criticizes Bill for thinking people should generally "protect the environment".

I haven't found any source that can actually provide positive proof of who used the phrase first.

Supposedly it is attributed to Lincoln, but it is not at all clear who said it, which is why I used the word "supposedly." As qualified historians have pointed out, no documentation has ever supported the attribution to Lincoln, and the PT Barnum attribution is also disputed, though PT was a friend of Lincoln at the time.

There are others who have said that Mark Twain may have actually coined the phrase. But again no one can provide positive proof he did so either.

Though it does come out of the era of Lincoln.
