"Both outfits believe that the United States of America is fundamentally a bad place."

Thats right spread the fear! If I disagree with his version of America, I am an OBL supporter.

Bill can bloviate all he wants(or Bloviate my buns), he is still a liar.

I think America is awesome and I feel lucky to have been born here.

America is not a bad place, you Billy O are a bad person.

Political books are all ephemeral short-lived and necessarily "of the moment". They are designed to appeal to a specific segment of the political spectrum and since they have such limited appeal they almost never go into affordable paper back runs. For this reason the appeal to the thin slice of the electoral pie the book is aimed at must be made as strong an appeal as possible. This can be achieved most easily by insulting the opposite side of the political spectrum. Bill is simply doing what he can to help his publisher sell his book, nothing more. It does not make him a "nut" or his writings "rants" any more than Kieth Olberman's "Worst Person In The World" book makes him a nut or a ranter. It's a political book, they sell better when they have a strong appeal, they achieve this by being outrageous. All such books are best ignored.

O'Reilly seems to think he has an obligation to protect the American people. But who elected him to that job?

He is just another right wing a--hole selling hatred. Just like Limbaugh , Coulter, Hannity the list goes on ad nauseum. He will sell millions of books just like Coulter. To the very same crowd. In the end the reader learns absolutely nothing except how to hate their fellow man. Saw his bit promoting torture the other night. Why any rational human being would go on his show is beyond me.

He even wrote a book for kids released about the same time he was under fire for having inappropriate sexual conversations with a co-worker.

Someday he will get his just reward...Sic Semper Hypocritus.

Let's see; The CONS have made decisions that have made more enemies for us than I can recall, and I've no doubt have contributed to a rise in terrorist supporters. WHY would bin laden want anyone other than CONS to remain in power?

Look at it this way:

There are too many people and politicians and pundits out there that have such vitriol for this president that for all the mistakes he makes when they pounce on him, they can't bring themselves to say he's right when credit is due (i.e. how to treat terrorist prisoners that are not soldiers representing a country and therefore not eligible for Geneva Convention status where they can sue us in our own courtrooms). I'd say Osama Bin Laden would love the opportunity to sue us in our own courtrooms and not have to submit to any gueling questioning regarding any planned terrorist attacks.

Bill O'Reilly's got a point.

The real question that no one seems to want to answer is, WHO financilly has supported and still financially supports Usama Bin Laden? Second, No terrorist organization in the world exists without government or financial support from corporate entities.Somebody supplies them with weapons, money and logistics. They have to have backing. Hitler had financial backing fom Prescott Bush, Randolph Hearst, John Rockefeller, Andrew Mellon and many more industrialists in Germany. Sadaam Hussein was given his weapons of mass destruction by Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Ronald Reagan and George H. Bush. So who has made Usama? Who supported him? Who made him? Who still protects him so they can have constant war? Answer these questions and you will know the reason we are in the hateful mess we are in.

All these people are crazy how come we don't hear ABOUT THE THREE CRISTIAN AMERICANS EXECUTED TODAY IN INDONESIA ON FALSE CHARGES

International Christian Concern, a human rights group based in the United States, said its investigation of the case had found that violence in Poso in 2000 was started by Muslims but mostly Christians were charged.

See for yourself!!!

Oh yeh, I forgot to let you know that the entire bin Laden family has been CIA and MI5 operatives for over 30 years. Usama has a CIA code name and was given TOW and surface to air missiles during Reagan-Bush tenure. Also a hell of a lot of armament. He supposedly attacked the Towers because we had military bases in Saudi Arabia. We have left Saudi Arabia because of his attack. Under George Bush's direction. Never give in to Terrorists, I always say. Where are you luvmyprez, tell me I'm wrong, Please.

O'Reilly usually knows what he is talking about. UBL knows that nazi liberals in this country will do anything against Bush even if it means giving aid & comfort to the enemy. The liberals act like no one knows it though. they act like they have got the wool pulled over our eyes. O'Reilly tells the real truth and liberals can't handle it. I can't wait to get my copy.

Why the big surprise? You can not tell the difference in the rhetoric between the Bin Ladens and the Democrats. The same is true of Chavez and the Iranian Hitler. Plus, you have the cut and run position of the leading Democrats that will help the Iranians and the Syrians in their war against democracy in Iraq.

People do see throught the Liberal act. That is why they continue to lose elections. The bottom line is that Americans do not trust the Liberal with the security of this nation. Bush is making the point that we can not relax in the war on terrorism and the Dems are responding by pushing for appeasement and retreat.

People like to watch train wrecks as well, their ratings would probably go through the roof if they were televised; in fact, i'll bet that the same people who watch O'Reilly are the same people who want to watch train wrecks.

Nope, never saw a train wreck.

But the liberals self distrusting and going completely insane with vile hatred is a bit like a train wreck.

So on second thought, yep, I do like train wrecks

Osama has also recieved a lot of funding from the Pakistani military. It's been all over world news. You won't hear about it here because Pakistan is supposedly one of our "allies" in the war on terror. As soon as the facts were uncovered Washington started an all out smoke and mirrors campaign to cover up the truth.

Bill O'Reilly's got a point.>>>>>

No he doesn't. The worst thing that could happen to bin laden would be for people in power of this nation to secure our infrastructure, work to mend bad feelings with allies, or work to have any dialogue with the ME. My god, a five year old could figure that out, but having heard O'Reiey, I give him that he's at the mental age of a two year old. He's really got those tantrums down.

This guy really has an inflated view of his own importance. I think this is mighty good fodder for another Al Franken book.

Osama bin Laden supports his own agenda, and American Progressives do not want his support.

We want to be secure. We support the troops. We simply don't support the policies that have deployed them. We don't support the kind of foreign policy decisions that are being made. We don't like the lack of fiscal discipline and bad monetary policy.

The litany could go on, and on, and on...not everything is bad, but then, it never is.

Gee eugenegerard,

I think you posted your garbage under the wrong story. You should have posted under "Conspiracy Theory".

It's amazing how fast the "history of us" is reordered to the "history of them" in your own delusional mind. The events you allude to were known and encouraged by BOTH parties.

Open Letter from Osama Bin Laden to the US Public:

My name is Osama Bin Laden and I walk around in a sheet. Boy, am I stupid. I don't even know that my God is weak and can't win in a war with Jesus.

I didn't want George BuSh to win in 2004, so I put out a video telling the American public not to vote for BuSh, but they fooled me and more people voted for BuSh. I am stupid.

I took out a contract on Bill O'Reilly and lucky for me, the FBI has kept it quiet. But, Bill is exposing me for being a Liberal. Well, everyone should have known I was a Liberal. Look how stupid I am, walking around in a sheet.

If I were smart, I would be a CEO or a lobbyist and live in Washington DC with all the smart people. But being stupid and eating goats, what can you expect from me?

Liberals unite.

Osama Bin Laden

PS: I was thinking of changing my name to Osama Bin Liberal to help the Americans decide who to vote for in the mid-term elections. Or maybe Osama Bin Democrat.

Bill O'Reilly spins things his way; calling it the "No Spin Zone" does not make it true. he is about as objective as anybody with an axe to grind, and he does it in a nasty way.

Isn't the world much better off with Saddam Goldstein, I mean Saddam Hussein in jail?

Yes it is, because now Iran can live without the worry of another war with Saddam's Iraq.

Now Iran's Shiites can make nice with the Shiite government of Iraq and with the Shiite militias in Iraq.

See without Saddam Goldstein, there can be one big happy family.

Did I say that Saddam didn't violate the no-fly zone? I did not. I simply stated that there are alternatives to the massive deployment of troops worldwide that kight have been considered a priori. Additionally, if we were going to fight it, we needed to fight it to win it. Instead, we undermined the people who ended up being right about the situation on the ground. Look at Shinseki...

There are lots of holes in the Administration's policies, but instead of being bipartisan, it's all blame blame blame, and undermining comments like the title of this thread.

No wonder half the country (or more) is outraged.

And if I am a sicko, then why did you show me a pic of yourself from behind? Huh?

It boils down to the left hating oreilly and the right liking him, much like sean hannity. The republicans love him, the dems hate him. Keith Olberman, the repubs hate him, dems like him
