Is Bill O struggling to remain relevant? There is a lot of tough competition in the hate mongering
field. Michael Savage is the best (or worst), with Rush, Beck, Coulter, Hannity, and others close behind. So in order to gain back some of his lost attention, Bill O suggested that Mrs. Obama be subjected to a lynching party if she isn't proud of America. Oh please Bill what a desperate attempt to remain relevant in the hate mongering game. And it will get worse.

Some have asked, why isn't Bill O held to the same standards that Don Imus was/is? Oh please. Bill's behavior is totally expected from Fox News, which, itself may be becoming irrelevant.

But we need Fox News. When you want to see what the idiots are up to, turn on Fox. If you want to know who the idiots are in society, ask them if they watch Fox. Bingo, my three brothers in law all watch Fox.

And by the way, Bill O's behavior is only the tip of the coming iceberg. There is nothing to low for the hate mongers to do or say. And as they become more and more irrelevant they will get worse and worse.

1. When did he make that lynching party comment? Was it a joke?

6. IMO he was relevant to the right wing and idiot sheeple. They all looked to him
for their hate of the day. Now with the others out there, many of whom are much more hateful, IMO Bill O has dropped down in the relevant status. He will have to step up his hate rhetoric.

4. That guy Colmes is a big fake. He plays the part of a weak, wimpy opposite
Edited on Tue Feb-26-08 04:25 PM by AlinPA
of the loudmouth Hannity who totally controls the program. I have watched it a few times and shift channels after a few minutes. It is clever how Fox "News" has this character Colmes on there to be the pushover. Does anyone believe that Colmes is a real liberal?

8. Best Tweety line about Alan Colmes' place on FAUX Noise
"That's not real debate, it's more like a Harlem Globetrotters game. Make a run in the third quarter and lose by 30."

Same goes for Juan Williams.

9. BillO is dangerous.......
....because he actually paints himself as a populist and tries to skirt the full blown reich-wing baggage of a Coultergeist or WeinerSavage.

I think Glenn BecKKK is the worst, however.

10. I agree with you. Michael Savage isn't as dangerous because he is obviously
a crack pot. But BillO and Dave Beck come across as more main stream and therefore will be believed by more idiot republicans.

12. spoiled child
He's like a spoiled child, any attention is good attention. Anytime he hasn't been in the news for awhile he pulls something like this. He might as well go out into the street and jump up and down shouting, "look at me, pay attention to me!!!"
