Wow, must be a joy to work with. I wonder if he has gotten better or worse with the years. From having read some of his books you can tell that this type of thing might be going on all the time.

I am reminded that news has become infotainment. As such, “most popular” seeks the lowest common denominator==Limbo type ditto heads who enjoy being preached to.
Increased Fragmentation Of TV News Audiences Along Party Lines

Bobster, the take-home message from your link is that Republicans flee to whatever “news” source agrees with their biases (e.g., Faux Spews), whereas Democrats have remained pretty much stable in their viewing/ listening habits.
As we get deeper and deeper into the black hole of the Bush Nightmare, Repubs have to turn in increasing numbers to dimwitted nimrods like Loofah Pad O’Reilly or Anal Cyst Limbaugh to hear what they want to hear, whereas the Dems just want to find out what’s really happening.
Pathetic.
Nobody actually watches Loofah Pad or listens to Anal Cyst to get information; the <65 IQ set tune in to get support for their ignorant slanted views – the rest of the world only tunes in (if at all) to laugh.
29 Wow, lessons on decorum from Mister Mustard.

>>Wow, lessons on decorum from Mister Mustard.
Yeah, Red Blue Green, they’re lessons that most of humanity learned eons ago, when we first stopped walking on all fours. Some folks (like Loofah Pad) haven’t evolved to that degree, however.
Keep going Mustard. By the way, can you tell us once again how demonizing those that disagree with you separates you from them?
#13, benson,
Ratings is everything. Olbermann and Mathews would grovel for just a piece of the Factor’s audience. Come to think, they do grovel and they only gets a fraction of the numbers that O’Reilly gets.
Yes, but if intelligence was the measurement instead of drool, O’Really wouldn’t come close to the weather channel at 3:30 Am.
#16, Noam,
Minor league bully with a very, very small mind. Why does anybody give a shit?
Because the right wing nuts have so few real heroes, they have to worship the crap they do have.

Mencken, who once called marriage “the end of hope”
Well, that explains why you still live in your mother’s basement, you’re single.
#22,Tom,
O’Reilly’s great!
So is gonorrhea, dirty public rest rooms, and pants up to your armpits.

I’d still do her.
Yes, you would too.
#30, Hill,
Look at how angry the liberals are. They’ll never have a barker this good.
And I don’t think they need or want one either.

I am reminded that news has become infotainment.
Wrong. The news still presents the news. Only what FOX SPEWS presents is entertainment.

WOW !!! Criticism from our resident pseudo intellect.
#13 – but you can’t argue with his continuing success.
Who is gonna stop me?
between smiley-pants here, coulter and 1-a-day limbaugh, why can’t these republicans relax?
How about this for a good Mencken quote? It seems to fit the political establishment perfectly.
“The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying even the mob with him by force of his personality. But when the field is nationwide, and the fight must be waged chiefly at second and third hand, and the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum.
“The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” (Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920)
We have perfected our democracy.
#41 – Good work.
41. That’s why they all spend obscene amounts of money on political advertising.

#40–Ah Yea==Mencken is fun for the witty sarcasm, but there is no depth. Your chosen quote is a good example. He was probably bitching about having gotten into WWI or some other issue of the day? I don’t think he was aiming at the year 2000?
No, the truth is more balanced, less memorable. Democracies lurch to the left and right generally voting the people more welfare.
Now, we have the republican and dems both pandering welfare benefits to the masses with the only difference being Dems wanting to pay for it with taxes, and the Repugs trying to bankrupt the nation with tax relief to the wealthy plunging the nation into debt.
I’m sure HL had a few pithy ones more on target.

I can’t believe people are defending this guy.
What a douche bag. His temperamental hissy fit is published on YouTube, and he gets the thing removed.
Let me reiterate: What a douche bag.
No wonder he’s a chickenhawk.

Good grammar, Jimbo.
>>Besides, just because he gets more attention

Aw but Jim. Come on! Look at the attention he gets. From Loofah Pad-ding, to obscene e-mails, to phone-fucking some bim while his wife is having labor pains at home, to this kind of kindergarten blow-up.
Have you no mercy??
#44 – Mencken is fun for the witty sarcasm, but there is no depth.
I’ll bet he was more fun at a party than you, though…
now if they can only find the video from when bill o locked uncle ted in a coffin during “ghoul school” on WNEP from a long time ago…
Every time he does that,
baby Walter Cronkite cries.
Wow, the hate people have here for him, it’s shocking. And to top it off, he gave Hillary a warm interview, and would probably do the same for Obama!
>>Wow, the hate people have here for

Naw, no hate, Mikey. Just pity and revulsion. He is truly a pathetic little buffoon.
what’s the natural reaction to the guy in the video? “there’s a swell guy?” the man’s a sociopath, i don’t need to know of him to see he’s a worthless human being
O’REILLY RRRRUUUULLLEEESSSS!!!!
One day he’ll beat the crap out of someone LIVE!
heheheheheeee that would be cool!
