Why is Bill O'Reilley so Important to DU'ers that they have to quote him..

[KoKo]

and feel they need to "RETALIATE" against him. I'm not a Fox Watcher...I've clicked on there just to see who he was because so many DU'ers seem to get in a FRENZY about the guy.

He's "nobody." He's there just to get folks to post about him here on DU...Why would any Dem even pass on the ravings of a "Paid for Work" lunatic voice?

Beat's me? :shrug:

[proud2BlibKansan]

1. He goes out of his way to slam liberals

and Democrats. He is forever talking about 'the loony left'.

He also is far from a nobody. His show has the highest ratings among cable news shows.

[hiley]

2. don't know

seems like he loves the attention to me.

[sniffa]

3. i can't say he's 'nobody'

he's a 6'9" penis.

and my mom Loves, Loves, LOVES the gigantic penis. she thinks he's just about the onLy 'fair' person on tv; he's the onLy one who 'teLL's it Like it is' and 'stands up for the LittLe guy, and sticks it to the man.'

:rofl:

[Dave Reynolds]

4. Would she like him if he really

"stuck it to the man?"

I bet not.

5. Your mom is a prime example of the

typical supporter. They think he is standing up to the "little guy." I really don't get how they get to that conclusion ....I just don't...but there are many people out there who think that.

[sniffa]

7. my mom aLso cLaims she's not racist or homophobic

she just wishes bLack peopLe wouLd act more appropriateLy, get jobs/get off weLfare, and taLk more Like white peopLe.

and she doesn't care at aLL about gay peopLe - she just wishes she'd never have to know that anyone was gay.

11. I have a dad like that.

And he goes to church every Sunday and reads the Bible. :banghead:

On the positive side, my mom who used to be like this years ago has become more liberal the older she gets. When my dad expressed shock to her that I was "living in sin" with my boyfriend my mom told him to just shut up because I was an adult and he should just butt out of my personal life. Mom will be 83 soon. :D

[bicentennial_baby]

6. oh my

[sniffa]

8. you'LL meet her

[bicentennial_baby]

10. let's hope not

12. My family won't watch anything BUT Faux News.

We can't ignore this blowhard even if we want to. Believe me, I tried it at physical therapy and nearly vomited until I could get someone to turn the channel.

[Warpy]

9. You have to answer hate

otherwise, if hate goes unopposed, people start to believe the lies are true. Notice that the mainstream press won't answer hate. We have to do it.

[yurbud]

13. he has an audience, so if you ignore him, it won't make him go away

[KoKo]

15. He has an Audience? Why would ANY DU'er Tune into HIM?

I don't watch "Fox" so why should anyone else....

:D...I know... just because "I" don't it shouldn't mean that others dont..but STILL ...He's a Crazy Partisan Maniac?

:shrug:

[yurbud]

17. Not a DU audience

[KoKo]

14. I've NEVER understood why anyone would watch him.....so I'm sort of

"out of it." But, then again..I'm a "Du Oldie" who sees him as a "whistle blower out of his ASS!"

I Can't Imagine...anyone over 30 even listening to his crap..much less poting the shit on DU! But then again..I might be "Outta' Touch" with Mainstream America on this.

[enki23]

16. because he has a wide fucking audience

and an even wider audience of potential sympathizers. enough of the "ignore it and it will go away" bullshit. wake the f**k up.

There is nothing so outrageous, so obviously bullshit that the far rightwing nutjobs could ever say about us that would alienate their base, but one. They could call for us all to be murdered, and people would listen. And our silence will not fucking protect us.

that said, there are certainly people so far outside the general public's attention that responding them would simply be to advertise for them. bill o'reilly is not one of those people. he's clearly one of the loonier of the rightwing mainstream, but they have a goddamned HUGE number of other loony assholes vying for the job. in the meantime, you might take notice that people *do* in fact *watch* this asshole. and many of them *do* fucking *believe* what this asshole says, fabrications and all. so it might, maybe, be in our interest to respond to the bullshit, and call it the bullshit it is, lest our efforts to "stay out of it" leave us out of any chance to help build our future fucking culture.

it's probably too late for this goddamned nation to wake up, and grow up. but that doesn't mean we have to fucking give up.

when a tree falls in a forest, the fact that *you* don't want to listen doesn't mean it isn't fucking dead.

18. He slows down the progress of mankind

He's an evil, hateful, spineless son of a bitch. All he does is slam liberals (while simulatenously claming to be a non-affiliated independant) with lots of false information. He does stupid things like advocating terrorism against a major US port city or saying stupid bullshit like liberals are declaring a war on Christmas. It's all stupid crap. He slows down the progress of mankind. In fact, I'm hereby nominating him for biggest douche in the universe.

[bullwinkle428]

19. The guy lies out his friggin' ass every day -

I get disgusted every day I go to other sites with message boards and freepers make snide comments about CBS and "inaccurate reporting" when Fox News, and specifically O'Reilly, are 1000x worse...

[KoKo]

20. But....But...But.....Why do you give him "Hits" on Faux News when he HAS

NO CREDIBILITY?

Hey...please understand...my Fundie Faux News Relatives send me all the Crap "Talking Points from Fox" but it's an annoyance not CREDIBILITY?

Why do you Watch? Why do you and I participate in our Fundie/Zelot Relatives to perpetuate his "Spew." He's doing some crap Fundie Thing about Christmas...Why do I give a shit about what he says? I'm a "mainsream Episcopal." WHY? :shrug:
