It appears someone has posted a hilarious send-up of Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. On his site there’s a Talking Points commentary so wrong-headed and contradictory that it has to be a joke–and a pretty convincing one.
“As you may know, we cover politics a bit differently here. We are not much on party propaganda or political bloviating,” the guy who looks just like Bill O’Reilly explained.
He went on to say that his coverage from the Republican convention
will not be the Republicans are good and Democrats are bad or vice versa. We are not in the business of promoting any political party.
But then just a few seconds later he said this, completely at odds with the words he’d just uttered:
Speakers at the Republican convention have largely been selected to negate Democratic propaganda, while the speakers at the Democratic convention next week in Charlotte are largely on stage to inflame the liberal base.
The strategy for the Republicans is persuade the mind, right here. The strategy for the Democrats seems to be persuade the hearts. Hearts versus mind is the theme this year.
All right–Republicans are propaganda-busting mind persuaders, while the Democrats are emotional base-inflamers. It was clearly making fun of the real O’Reilly’s ability to spin for the Republican Party while loudly proclaiming his nonpartisanship.
The clip went on to argue that Republicans are moderate and honest (“The GOP presentation is largely fact-based”), whereas:
On the Democratic side, they want you to believe that the Romney/Ryan ticket is extreme, that those guys want to hurt you by making the rich, richer and ignoring the plight of the working man.
The faux O’Reilly broadcast went on to explain that “the rest of the Democratic prime time line up is composed of zealots” like “Georgetown Law School lady” Sandra Fluke, along with “abortion extremists” from NARAL and Planned Parenthood. Actress Eva Longoria “is also on the dais primarily because she is a Latino.” Then there’s Rep. Tammy Baldwin, “a lesbian running for the Senate in Wisconsin”–can you believe that!? As “O’Reilly” put it, “You cannot get more liberal than this crew.”
The Republicans, meanwhile, are different: “Governor Romney has pretty much neutralized the far right.” Except for his running mate, and appearances by the likes of Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Scott Walker and Bob McDonnell, he’s got a point.
Of course, this wasn’t really satire–this was O’Reilly’s real show on his actual cable news channel. I think.
O’Reilly’s got one thing right.
You cannot get more liberal than the speakers lineup he reeled off.
Because the party wouldn’t allow it.
Which tells you a good deal about the definition of “liberal”, doesn’t it?
An easy way to understand the mentality of people like BillO is to imagine a big pile of wealth with his arms wrapped around it angrily going “Hey.. hey.. HEY! HEY!!” followed by an endless series of curse words to hide his shame.
I would argue that minds like Bill are more easily understood in terms of “the Uncertainty Principle” in Astral Physics. Bills Mind is a singularity point;
Inside the event horizon or Schwarzschild radius of a static isolated black hole the mass of the collapsed star is compressed into a singularity point.
Schwarzschild Radius or Event Horizon
The Schwarzschild radius or event horizon is the one way boundary from which nothing can escape a black hole. It does not however represent the extent of the matter in the collapsed star. Like an obscure political boundary, nothing actually marks the event horizon.

And thus with Bill, the hole in head has collapsed to the point of a black hole singularity and we are uncertain if the man even has a clue on which planet he is living.
So Bill is unabashedly right wing even if he makes comments that appear he is trying to be A-political?Get out a here.You don’t say.Bill can’t play the liberal game.He can’t dumb down to that degree.Live with it
Hold on, I thought the O’Reilly Factor was satire every night! Do you mean it’s just propaganda of the flimsiest kind?
Getouttahere.
Bill O’Reilly is an obvious drunk, and it’s interesting how many people find drunks and drug abusers appealing as long as what comes out of their mouths is vicious and vulgar. See, for example, the current governor of Maine Paul LePage; you can watch him on TV (which I refuse to do) and smell the booze on his breath.

Bill seldom has more than a beer with friends.Just like Obama.Ok bad example since Im pretty damn sure that is a president who needs a sobriety test.
From Webster’s Dictionary:
Idiot (n): Anyone who takes Bill O’Reilly seriously.
Well TD I wanted to see if you were right, so I just read Bills background and history on Wik.Yeah looks like an idiot from his background.NOT!!Wow very accomplished.Amazing bio.And now has the number one cable show.I wonder if he is as smart as joe Biden?Don’t really get to see him much but I will make the effort now.I gather you hate him because as a lib- he disagrees with your “religion’.Can’t have any divergence of opinion now can we?Well what conservative commentator do you actually like?Or is that the massive wave of humanity who will soon vote against Obama, is a wave of…… idiots en total?Glad to see things have not changed much on the left since I was a member
