Finding fault with those they don't agree with, and making their mistakes seem bigger than they are, are their bread and butter. This is what they do. When they are wrong or misinterpret something they don't apologize. They simply move onto the next character assassination. If they can't stand the heat they should get out of the proverbial kitchen. Neither one probably deserve the heat they have taken from their remarks, but that is true of what they have said about others in the past. What goes around comes around. I wonder if their were any phony soldiers at Sylvia's Restaurant.

Limbaugh once told a black caller to take the bone out of his nose and call him back. O'Reilly spoke in front of a predominately black audience and (jokingly?) told the teenage crowd to leave his hubcaps alone. It galls me as a Vietnam Vet(Marines 68-71) to hear Limbaugh call anyone a phony soldier. I think his cyst was phony and he and President Bush should have both served where I was.

Surprisingly both of these neo-conservative mouthpieces sleep soundly at night after a day of saying half truths, distortions, and lies. Even more surprisingly, people still tune them in after years and years of the same old thing.
Both of these men are bad for America. They are divisive and alienating. Many liberals, moderates and even many conservatives would like nothing better than if they messed up and went the way of Don Imus.
But it probably won't happen. They are smart and experienced and know exactly where "the line" is.

Rush, Beck and Hannity are buffoons, splendid wing clowns who help no person yet there very own . wager what? So is O'Reilly. that's purely FOX programming attitude, to make bill look greater reasonable, the lesser of the different evils, in an attempt to talk. in line with probability he's,.. slightly. It facilitates positioned the visitors comfy, that the truly splendid wing time table of FOX is so called "honest and balanced". that's totally smart manipulation to maintain the rankings up. it works too! I hate all of them yet like, figuring out on a scab, gazing an twist of destiny, or watching something truly gruesome, I 've been gazing them for years. the remarkable element is they feed off people who will by no ability look someplace else for his or her suggestion. truly ignorant people who in basic terms have faith what they choose to have faith and does not even dare to truly detect the two facets of any subject count to formulate their own opinion. FOX is fairly smart of their propaganda slogans, including " WE checklist you come back to a variety." Suggesting that their viewer's can have faith them and by no ability look else the place for his or her suggestion. FOX=field and that they don't choose anybody to think of exterior of it, era!

Commentators need to take care when reporting, they cannot make statements then later rebuff because IT WASN'T WHAT I WAS THINKING--this bird will not fly. I stopped watching O'Reilly and Limbaugh a longggggggggg time ago too much anger and hatred exude from their comments.

Bullies on both sides of the political spectrum don't like to be called out.

When your day-to-day talking points and arguments are as weak and patently false as theirs and your job becomes one of willing gatekeeper to fear and loathing and a web of lies would you yourself not become as paranoid, delusional and unhinged as they both appear to be? I personally feel sorry for both of them. I can only image how disappointing, lonely and isolating their off-air lives must be.

You obviously can't tell the difference between criticism and character assassination based on lies. If Rush ever dissed the military or O'reilly did something racist, it would be the first time. I hope you will avail yourself of both men's archives so you can see what it is they said, exactly. I am dubious of your intentions, however.
