I also never miss a show of Bill Maur's.
And he is like hated by christian right wingers so Bill says so.
It's good to hear both sides, but David Letterman doesn't want to hear any facts. I mean Bill comes out on his show with a toy sword & sheild and Dave instead of saying something cute and nice says" That's nice you come out with toys". And says it with a disgusting tone of voice.

O'Reilly is the man, enough said. I find it very funny that Letterman consistently calls Bill O'Reilly a liar yet admits that he does not read his books or watch his show.

It helps to know how your mind works.

I think a lot of people have a impression of O'Reilly based on his "big exposure" appearances such as the Late Show, GMA, etc. Like the lady in the Oprah show that said Bill is "never calm." The guy is a lightning rod (very opinionated, arrogant to a fault) but he also presents some very intelligent debate. Most people don't give him a fair shot because of preconceived opinions about him. I disagree with O'Reilly on several issues, but agree with him on others.

Can't stand Bill on TV, but am mildly amused by his radio show the few times I have heard it. I actually enjoyed watching the Letterman thing just because I think Letterman is a moran and tends to show it on these types of occasions.

That you kind of like the Dixie Chicks doesn't cut it!

I think people who don't watch O'Reilly much mistake the fact that he's loud, short-tempered, combative and very opinionated with the idea that he's a far-right partisan. It's just not so---he's not in the same category as Limbaugh or Coulter at all. And as far as all his "lies", pretty unfair criticism, IMO. And if you look him up on Wikipedia and see his "lies", it's a pretty insignificant list for somebody who argues issues off the cuff for 3 hours a day for years on end, IMO.
And as far as the whole Letterman thing, I think Dave's response was just like many O'Reilly haters---he's intimidated and put-off by Bill, so he came at him with emotional hostility and venom instead of logic. In truth, those two agreed on most of the issues---they both admitted they supported the war initially, they both admit that now they realize it was a mistake, they both would like to see US troops come home safely, and they both would like to see a stable Iraq.




I will at least keep trying.
