He does have more people that disagree with him on his show than any other political commentator. He is not afraid to debate anyone and that is to his credit. His problem is he interrupts some guests way too much. He had state Senator Russell Pierce from Arizona on recently to talk about the senator's campaign to withhold state birth certificates from anchor babies. He interrupted Pierce so much I never did hear how Pierce justifies this from the constitutional point of view.
the above comment proves you dont know much about OReily.
in deed Bill does have some things in common with conservatives but he is no "orthodox" fellow. He has some things in common with cons and some with libs and while he will attack a president on one hand, he will defend the guy where he agrees.
he has always done this.
He has been more than fair to Obama over the past 2 years. You are right.
Twice last week, Bill O'Reilly booked conservative Republican stars on his show -- Sarah Palin and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) -- and came at them from the unexpected stance of defending President Obama. With Palin, he defended Obama's handling of the BP spill. With Bachmann, he disagreed with her criticism of how the BP escrow fund was set-up.
All of that sparked an outraged rant from radio host Mark Levin, which the Right Scoop has captured and put online. In it, Levin makes the case that a lot of conservatives who don't have to worry about re-election are making -- that, yes, the president "shook down" BP, and that O'Reilly is a "phony, populist idiot" for thinking otherwise.
And this means........................................what?
I am a conservative and think O'Reilly and Hannity are idiots. I think Beck is way too negative. Rush just rehashes the party line.
Michael Savage is about the only talk show host who does not carry the water for either party and can still think.
So the one time when O'Reilly doesn't bow down to the conservatives and big business you want to kick him to the curb?
When he's saying something stupid, yes.
Bachman doesn't want him to controll the money that BP has to pay out, because she knows it will not go where it is needed. You can't trust our government with money. That is what she is saying. She knows that BP has to pay, she just doesn't trust Obama.

So instead choosing big oil to do the right thing is better?? Choosing a company that we know from internal e-mails took shortcuts and cut corners revolving around the security of the well?? A company who knew that the spill was perhaps greater than what they were originally letting on??
The purpose of the fund is to make sure BP pays for it, and to make sure those who need the help, get the help ASAP, not waiting upwards of 20 years in order to get the help, which is exactly what has happened with some people in the Exxon-Valdez spill of 1989.

Hmmm. The insane Oberfugle comes on opposite O'Reilly and Beck comes on at 5:00?
