Ummm, that's not exactly true, Bob. (Hmmm, I wonder if stu is going to consider EVERYTHING out of your 'fingers' is a lie"? ;) Not that I do...)

O'Reilly disagrees vehemently with the common belief that he is a conservative, preferring to call himself a traditionalist and a populist. In his book The O'Reilly Factor, he describes his political affiliation this way: "You might be wondering if whether I'm conservative, liberal, libertarian, or exactly what... See, I don't want to fit any of those labels, because I believe that the truth doesn't have labels. When I see corruption, I try to expose it. When I see exploitation, I try to fight it. That's my political position."

Hannity and O'Reilly would admit/consider that they are commentators while the news-people on the other networks call their drivel "the news" and imply they are objective.

Hannity stinks

Perhaps...but he doesn't attempt to pass himself off as a reporter...like the liberal wonks do.

More drivel from you, huh? More "opinions" that cannot be proven.

And exactly what "drivel" are you referring to?

Moneyguy1 07-19-2005 10:58 PM

just about (but not all ) you have posted lately in the way of opinions.

Look, we have the right to our beliefs, and we also have the assumption that others will disagree in a curtious and civilized manner, bereft of sarcasm and innuendo. In another post you made a statement that could be taken as a downtright iinsult. I expect better behavior from a long term member of the military and defender of the Country.

I try very hard to see both sides of the spectrum, and I commit to neither in its entirety. But to you, this appears as if I am somehow unAmerican and in support of the terrorists. This may be your opinion, but if that is typical of your political point of view, I am not impressed and in fact repelled by it.

Try treating people with respect, even though you have the anonimity of a screen name. YOu might even get some people to actually see your point of view rather than accusing them of somehow being weak, stupid, or unAmerican.

Think you can do that?

Of course I poist my opinion when the topic calls for it...as anyone else here.

I think if you look closely...I rarely if ever make a personal remark unless one has been made toward me first. Perhaps you should take your own advice.

Anyone who wants my name can easily find it posted here. Moneyguy

Moneyguy1 07-19-2005 11:06 PM

Fair enough. But I still take offense to the unAmerican insuation.

That kind of retort is not necessary. And my name is posted. Please call me Bob if you like. And yours? Not in your signature.

End of discussion.

When I am insulted...I do my best to return in kind...apparently I was also successful...as you were. You were right to be insulted...much as I am....continuously here.
PM me if you want my name, address...etc. I have nothing to hide, but prefer not to use it here. It is bad enough to have my pseudonym insulted....
