OMG...anyone watching O'Reilly right now?
I know he makes you all :puke: , but he's slamming the big oil companies and claiming they are engaged in price gouging. He called F. Lee Raymond's compensation package absurd.

Man, hopefully the repukes are gonna turn on * and big oil. If O'Reilly is dissenting, maybe they might follow.

1. When something hits their wallet, they become incredulous.
Is it really so unpredictable?

2. Purely a ratings grab...he doesn't give a shit...
He's just desperately trying to pump up his sagging audience numbers.

32. As I was surfin' the tv
Edited on Tue Apr-18-06 10:52 PM by NI4NI
on Monday night I specifically heard Dild O'Reilly say to Neil "down and kiss corporate ass" Cavuto, "I will never buy another drop of Exxon",
But, the pervert didn't have the nads to call for one of his bombastic almighty boycotts like the one he called for that brought France to it's knees. Bwahaha!

4. He claimed that when the cost came down after Katrina that it was
because "he has a couple of guys inside the industry and they were concerned with what he was saying" ... so they lowered the price!

He thinks he can affect the price of gas by bitching ... good luck with that one Bill! :rofl:

12. why ask? Bill is delusional - I have a bed for him in my nursing home
Over in the wing that the nurses call "the choir" he will fit right in with his random nonsense next to the gent who thinks he is the owner of the building and the lady who believes she is captain of a riverboat currently sailing down the river clyde in glasgow scotland.

Bill thinks he was a special forces commando with all his "when you've seen combat like I have" rants.

Good Al franken bit a month ago with a psychologist discussing the symptoms bill has and whether he really is not a well man.

26. Yes, he did.
Keith showed that clip not that long ago during one of his "Ted Baxter" rants.

He actually believes that he has that kind of power over the oil industry!

25. Yeah.. on Friday he claimed that he stopped the war on Easter
because of all the fighting he did in the war on Christmas. Also don't forget the billions he cost France with the boycott he started :eyes:

way better than the horrid job Darrell Hammond did Saturday night

33. Yeah, Bill, we'll just ignore .5 billion barrels of EU refined . . .
No influence from that at all - no, it was you, Bill, looking out for us.

Whatfuckingever, Captain Asshat.

7. I just find it shocking.
Usually people like him rabidly defend free-market capitalism and big business. In the past you would have seen him say "Mobil deserves every bit of their profits because they are a fair and successful business and Raymond deserves all of his compensation for helping the company achieve record profits."

14. Actually I flip through and check him out every now and then.
It's just interesting to see what the dark side has to say about issues. It's kinda like going and reading FR (which I don't do b/c I can't stand their circa-1994 board format).

Preach on.
FR looks like something my dog crapped out. And I'm not even referring to the content...I just mean that on an aesthetic level.

24. Careful. Don't compare free-market capitalism and big business
Big business is usually big monopoly in this country. Exactly the opposite of a free market.

29. He's a total whore
he sniffs out what's bothering his base and then revs up the outrage. His viewers are busy ripping off their "W" stickers cause of the cost of gas. So. O'Reilly is ranting in tune. He's a carnival sideshow. The least common denominator on TV. If his viewers decide tomorrow that the oil companies deserve every cent they get, he'll be the cheerleader shaking his pom poms. Remember, this is the phony "war on Christmas" guy.
Edward R. Murrow...we're so sorry.

17. F. Lee Raymond is just being persecuted because he's Christian.
Let's keep repeating the Fristian mantra until it becomes a punchline.

20. Heck no, I just ate!
But I'm glad to hear that even the shills are going after big oil. I'm skeptical of his motives, though... methinks it has more to do with ratings and appealing to what the masses are hating on right now than doing the right thing for the right reasons.

23. Look over there:
While the big oil companies are probably doing their share of gouging, I'm inclined to think that O'Lielly doesn't want he viewers to connect any dots between oil and war.

27. I would rather cut my eyes out of my head with dull, rusty nail
scissors and then pour gasoline into the sockets and light my gas filled sockets afire than watch Bill Oreilly. In other words.......no.
