Without bashing, seriously - can you tell me the truth about why you like this man? I honestly believe he is one of the worst human beings I've ever come across. It horrifies me that so many people listen to him. Do you enjoy the arguing? Do you actually think he knows what he is talking about? Thank you - I am baffled and this is a serious question.

And how about his French boycott? He quoted the "Paris Business Review" saying that France has lost billions of US $ since his boycott. There is no such publication. I could go on...

He's really arrogant and opinionated. He pissed me off so bad once I started to email him, or the show. I really wanted to call instead.

Well, you pose an interesting question.
What you failed to mention was WHY you hate him.
I mean, its not like he is some right-wing flunky like Rush Limbaugh (a person that is an ideologue...you do know what that means, don't you?).
I have not watched him on television but I do listen to him on the radio.
Maybe he has a different attitude on the two mediums.
Although I find plenty to disagree with O'Reilly, what I find refreshing is that he will take shots at both the left and right.
And most of the time, the shots are dead-on, valid points.
I suspect he does know what he is talking about, as I tend to check up on the facts he states just to make sure I know what I'm talking about.
Please - give us some specific examples of why you hate him.
I'm not trying to change your mind, but play fair before you level your accusations, okay?

Answering a question like this rationally would be impossible when your assessment of him is so based on emotional reaction. When you can take emotional whims out of the debate and discuss it rationally come back to me. When you can give a rational explanation as to why you believe him to be "one of the worst human beings you've ever come across," then perhaps an intellectual discussion can ensue. Until that time trying to have an honest debate will be as impossible as trying to have one with a person who's reason for hating the President is because he's the "anti-christ."
UPDATE: Can't do youtube...dial up won't allow it. Put some things in your OWN words. Are you sure there is something he MADE UP entirely? Where did you HEAR it was made up? It's his job to find legitimate sources. If he weren't he'd currently be in the same boat as Dan Rather. He can be abrasive, sure, but I have never heard him completely pull something out of thin air. So next time you "come back to me," you're going to have to give some better and more legitimate sources, and I have still yet to hear some sound reasons in your own words.

Turn him off. A lot of people don't like him because he exposes many of the Liberal sacred agenda items. Like the Gay-Porno bill in San Francisco or the Megans law that the Liberals don't want

If he makes you sick, why watch him? And this is a serious question. I don't watch him. It almost seems like you want to get all riled up and angry. Chill out, watch something you enjoy and don't bother with him. After all, by watching him you increase his ratings and he will keep on going. If everyone turned him off, he would be off the air. The fact that he keeps going means some want to watch him so why shouldn't they? If you don't like him, don't watch him.

you hate what you find upsetting. he questions the liberal and conservative mindset equally. he points out hypocrisy where he finds it, usually in the drive-by media.
when someone questions your underpinnings of value and political beliefs it is natural to feel threatened. i used to feel the same way in 1987 when i first heard Rush Limbaugh, because i was so used to hearing the liberal slant all my adult life. soon thereafter it was from listening to NPR. i never had a problem with Bill O'Reilly, since i simply learned to listen to what he was saying, and approved of his style of questioning all points of view, pointing out the inconsistencies. i have learned to question all i hear, no matter who speaks.

I dont like him. But i dont hate him. He makes good points on SOME issues, but even then he is way too overbearing...even when i agree with what he is saying i feel he is being overbearing regarding the subject.

whether or not they prefer to be approached, or left on my own is frequently the version between approachable and not approachable. each and each individual must be approached in a hypothetical concern, not all situations are hypothetical nevertheless. maximum folk %. up on while somebody needs to be left on my own, and while they sense like coming near human beings, they frequently permit human beings understand by coming near human beings.

I like hearing the truth on TV once in a while. That's why I watch O'Reilly. He's not a left-wing kook apologist. I suggest that you just exercise your civil rights and change the channel. Typicl lib headcase, you don't like someone so nobody should be able to see him. Why don't you listen to your lib guru Olbermann? Maybe then you'll feel better.

This man is bought and paid for by Rupert Murdoch, the main owner of Fox network. He has to be an annoying prick, that is his job.
