We don't need you to buy it, the rest of us already have.

Whether he actually penned it or not it was printed in his name... for a long time. It took him plenty of time to express any regret for what was going out in his name.

Bill anally is so much into the republican party that it clouds his judgement on everything.

I honestly wonder if even 10 percent of his critics have ever watched his show or listened to his radio program.

I agree; I suppose you could argue that he has weak guests who can't debate as well as he does; but he appears to present a position and give the other side an opportunity to refute. I've never seen Chris Matthews do this without Matthews going ballistic.

Bill O is the type of guy that if you don't agree with him,he just goes to commercial or cuts off your mic.Its his way or no way

I have never seen this on TV; I've never heard his radio show. He gives the impression he enjoys a lively debate. I believe some folks just are annoyed at someone as cocky as O'Reilly.

George I have seen it plenty of time with people that don't see things from his point of view,his counterpart on msnbc Keith Olbermann on the other hand is the free thinker always open minded and never pointing out his way of thinking as Bill O does

Hello wolf:

I don't know how this turned into a Bill O'Reilly thing, but I love jumping on his case.

However, before tom comes along to say this, I will. Keith is a lefty. Nobody disagrees with him on his show because ALL the people he invites on, AGREE with him.

O'Reilly, to his credit, invites adversaries on to debate. Then, of course, O'Reilly's debates go into the toilet because he really is a dufus.

But, he DOES articulate a valuable opinion, however, because there's a bunch of Republicans out there who love and agree with him. Some of 'em are right here. Same thing with Keith. Some of them are here too. I wonder how he'd do in a heated debate, though.

They won't ever get into a debate even though Keith has asked to do it,Bill O won't do it

I don't watch very often but I have never seen this at all. Like everyone he does have to cut people off for hard breaks - they ALL do that. But I have seen him usually provide guests for both sides of a debate AND often give the last word to the one he disagrees with. I've seen Al Sharpton on his show numerous times and heard O'Reilly call him "a stand up guy" more than once. He also maintains he is staunchly independent, not Republican. Disagreeing with or disliking the man is fine, but the truth still matters to some of us.

Guess opinions vary on the subject of Bill O

He does lose it now and again. Did you see him with Al Franken?? You should. He tells him to SHADDAP! I'll bet you can u-tube it.

Ty karma for proving my point

Bill O thinks that its his way of thinking not anyone else's way,no matter who he has as a guest.

Actually ex, I'm not sure I could name one Republican here that loves him. He certainly makes me cringe at times but your point is right, it is to his credit that he regularly invites adversaries to debate. Love him or hate him, call him a dufus, I don't care - there's just no need for folks to smear him when they apparently have no clue as to what they're talking about.

No, I really don't watch very often but I have seen him come unhinged and it ain't pretty. I said a minute ago he does make me cringe at times, so does Hannity, so do others including Bush. But I do wonder what it takes for the left to cringe at their own unhinged personalities.
