Iadmire his ability to articulate beautifully, sometimes he can deliver a good verbal knockout

Does that not get old?

No, it never gets old. I don't watch O'Reilly for the same reason you don't like Olbermann. Olbermann appeals to my ideals, O'Reilly doesn't.

The difference is most conservatives in here don't watch O'Reilly. There are plenty of folks here who happily shout from the rooftops that they watch Olbermann

Some of if it may have to do with the fact that the left doesn't have much to choose from when it comes to watching/listening to a show where a liberal gets to opine in an entertaining fashion. Olbermann is pretty much it. Rachel Maddow is a distant second, even though she's only got her radio show(she would be a great TV host) and Bill Maher 3rd

Red Dawn was a little too broad. There are about 29% of Americans who still like Bush... although finding one with running water, electricity, and apparently internet access is pretty surprising.

And here I thought these people were Hillary fans. Isn't that what West Virginia taught us?

Obviously, it doesn't for the people that idolize him.

Olberman told Bush he should shut the hell up last night. I though he was about to say STFU.

Then you haven't been paying attention, which, believe it or not, is one responsibility of a "decent citizen."

He did. In broadcast lingo, the "F" is silent.

Wow. If people don't agree with you, they're not "decent citizens". That's pathetic, and smacks of the same attitude you like to mock among people you disagree with. Pathetic.

You could link to that thread......

but, it doesn't help your case...

No case trying to be made here. Youve already proven you run from threads you cant handle. I'm not wasting my time again. Move along...

The only waste is between your ears...

When all else fails, attack! How old are you? Grow up.

Careful there Corbett or UN will parody you using stock photos of Hervé Villechaize and his l33t photoshop skillz..........

So you aren't pissed that we are stuck in that quagmire in Iraq or that our debt has skyrocketed under Bush? There are plenty of Republicans who post in this forum that are, at least the real Conservative ones.

2) Something negative about Bill O'Rielly (Is he pissed he gets trashed in the ratings?)
3) Something negative about Republicans in general.

It means he's got good taste, and he's right. :thumbsup:

I dunno, I kinda wish he wasn't so anti-right. I'm soooo tired of hearing how Bush is some incompetent asshole like if the rest of the country just found out yesterday. There must be something nice to say about the guy; like how he valiantly gave up golf in a sign of solidarity with the troops or whatever.

On another note, I have to wonder what a typical workday must be like for Alan Colmes. I'm honestly curious.

What's wrong with being professionally anti-asshole?

Ignore the morons here who subscribe to authoritarian ideals, saying that there's a liberal bias (whatever the god damn hell that means, are they talking about social liberals, or economic liberals??), they're probably just upset that their predecessors lost the second world war.

No, but your post smacks of you being reading challenged. I said:

1. If you're not pissed at Bush, you haven't been paying attention.

2. Paying attention is one responsiblity of being a "decent citizen."

The point I was making was the same as Red's. What matters is, as of 5/15/08, 4,077 American troops have died in your Traitor In Chief's war of lies, and tens of thousands more are wounded, scarred and disabled for life.


What matters is, in starting their war of lies in Iraq, they took their eye off the real enemy, Al Qaeda, in Afghanistan, the war they were right to pursue, and the war they should have won by now.

What matters is, their war of lies in Iraq has squandered trillions of dollars in current and future debt our great great grandchildren will still be paying long after we're gone from this planet.

What matters is, this administration of traitors, murderers, war criminals, torturers and liars has shredded the rights granted to every American citizen under the U.S. Constitution. :|

What matters is, these same criminals have destroyed our nation's credibility in the world.

By now, the truth of those statements is pretty obvious to the vast majority of American citizens, including real "conservatives" who are appalled by what these criminals have done in our name. If you haven't figured it out, either you haven't been paying attention, or you may be one of the Bushwhacko criminals.

Do you think that somebody that's *not* pissed at Bush has a chance of being a "decent citizen"?

I'm not going to bother replying to the rest of your cut 'n' pasted diatribe that just serves as attempt to disguise your pompous insult

Go ahead and call all you want. With your credibility deficit, you'll have to call collect.

You haven't disproven any of the Bushwhackos' crimes I listed. If you're having short term memory problems, I'll list them again:
  • As of 5/15/08, 4,077 American troops have died in your Traitor In Chief's war of lies, and tens of thousands more are wounded, scarred and disabled for life.

  • In starting their war of lies in Iraq, they took their eye off the real enemy, Al Qaeda, in Afghanistan, the war they were right to pursue, and the war they should have won by now.
  • Their war of lies in Iraq has squandered trillions of dollars in current and future debt our great great grandchildren will still be paying long after we're gone from this planet.
  • This administration of traitors, murderers, war criminals, torturers and liars has shredded the rights granted to every American citizen under the U.S. Constitution. :|
  • These same criminals have destroyed our nation's credibility in the world.

If you don't comprehend them, then yes, you may be reading challenged. If you do comprehend them, and you can't refute them, you're blowing smoke. I'll leave it to you to make up your own excuses for that.

Do you think that somebody that's *not* pissed at Bush has a chance of being a "decent citizen"?

At this point in history, with so much documentation of the crimes committed by your Traitor In Chief and his gang of traitors, murderers, torturers, war criminals and liars, the answer is, unless you have the IQ of a turnip, probably not.

I'm not going to bother replying to the rest of your cut 'n' pasted diatribe that just serves as attempt to disguise your pompous insult

That's probably the only intelligent thing you've posted in this thread. :laugh:

  • Please, please, please try to stay on track. *Surely*, a forum member of your standing can do that, right?

    1. The "crap" I'm calling you on is you implying that people that disagree with you are not "decent citizens." Your response is that I'm stupid. Nice.

    2. Here you go: peeople that disagree with you can be "decent citizens." I guess, though, that anybody that disagrees with you should, in your words "STFU". Nice.

    3. Although, I continue to try to get you admit or refute your own statement, you continue with your strawman diatribe, and try to cover it up by questioning my reading ability. Nice.

    4. Finally, I ask you to answer the question I've posed (notice I ignored your C&P diatribe once again), and you call me a liar. Nice.

    It appears that your MO here is to do nothing but attempt to insult people and spew off-topic hatred.
