That's what this thread is aboot...O'Rielly supporters just derailed it 🤨

thats right, and we all had to listen to right wing bullshit gloating for like 3 months straight over it. but when your dear oreilly proves to be a fraud,
ALL OF THE SUDDEN the attitude switches from accusing/bashing to understanding/forgiving. how very convenient

well, considering they learn from oreilly, and oreilly "wins"
his arguements through dodging and derailing his own topic
when he's backed in a corner...

...are you surprised at this tactic?

You are out of your mind.

I don't like gloating on both sides. And I don't like bashing anyone. This thread is a waist of time.

I understand most of the typical Republican vs. Democrat B.S. and who stands where when relating to 99% of the issues, but one thing I never understood was global warming. Why does one party choose one side on that one? Shouldn't this, of all the topics, be one that everyone works together on? Sorry for not knowing this, but I don't.

The whole taking sides thing. Are there many Republicans who like some of the Democratic "Commandments" and vice versa? Like a Republican who was for Food Stamps or a Democrat who was against abortion?

I think a majority of the divide comes from the spin that one party puts on the situation. (Spin which good ole Bill professes to not tolerate) Let's not forget that both parties live in the pockets of indusrty. It's just a matter of fact that the Republicans are in bed with the oil companies, etc. Companies whos survival is dependant upon their product being the only option. And when that is the only option, the side effect is the pollution of the environment.

So, because I don't agree with you I am childish? I don't know what you mean by derail. You want to bash, so you bash me. Stop the bashing and name calling.

Read back, I tried to talk about the topic as I see it, but then was told that the topic is how stupid Bill is. I then asked is this a bash thread and the answer was no, so I when on and then was bashed. So what is the topic?

yes, i stated that he's a frikin idiot because he doesnt know a tsunami is caused by an earthquake.

now, you can prove that false,
or you can present the tired excuse of "everyone does it", which you have..

or you can go on focusing the topic on me, which is derailment

I don't know what people hate more, PVS tearing them a new one in an argument, or him posting an exceedingly appropriate and good point.

Either way he garners the hate.

I don't think your judgment is wrong, I think it is too harsh. There is more than just one person on that show. So the question is; was it a mistake or was it on purpose? I find that to be a more interesting question. So is that derailing?

To say that a person who has made a successful job out of being a commentator is an idiot is wrong. I assume he, and others like him, are very smart. If you don’t like him, I don’t care.

I personally believe that the Topic is that a) Bill O'Rielly changes facts to make a point and b) What journalists in general do that relates to a)

That is what I thought. I do think he does that to a degree, but it's like talking about a corrupt politician, there is no such thing as a non-corrupt politician. 😆

He claimst to be independent though..and he seems to do that a lot..not to say that his debating techniques are unfair and childish....(although I can only say that aboot some examples I have seen...we do not receive his shows over here)

There are consistant examples where facts are distorted or left out on his show. It also doesn't matter how many people are working for him. He's the host, he's the face of the show. He spouts off. It's HIS responsibility to make sure what he is saying can be backed up.

O.K., calling him an idiot is maybe a little harsh. Also, you have to assume that he is smart because he has given no solid proof of this through his own actions. You may not be able to call him an idiot, but you can call him misinformed, a liar, a bully, childish, self serving, ignorant, and offensive.

He also cuts people off. He gives then the last word and then comes in with a remark after they are gone. 😆

I don't think he's right all the time, but I think he believes in what he is saying. He is an entertainer, and a good one. 😆

BTW I just didn't know what the topic was...

or, as I like to call it...
