My Email Was Read on the O'Reilly Factor Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Yup, finally.

I said:

"while it is wrong for the fanatical left to try scoring points by demanding evidence of WMD so soon after the fall of Baghdad, you, Bill, are no different. You seek to score points by declaring victory without waiting to see what the war brings to the world. I never heard anyone on the left claim we'd be defeated, only that the casualties and long term impact would not justify the war."

My email was edited by Bill's producers but they kept the message basically intact.

I have to go to bed now, but before I do...

Can you provide a link to the transcript of the program (I'm too lazy to go get it myself ) if they've posted it yet, or when they do. I'd like to know what his response was.

I used to enjoy watching him, but starting a few months back he started entering ultra-d*ck mode, making him unwatchable even for me.

Suffering from ads?

He didn't respond, sometimes he let's another emailer serve as his response and I think that's what he did. The email he read after mine touched on the same subject but I wasn't listening close enough to see if it served as Bill's rebuttal. He did say he was sending the second emailer an authographed copy of his book. I think the edit took out references to how both sides are trying to score points and that I had never heard any leftists claim we'd lose the war, but that Bill is using the victory as a justification for his support of the war and proves the opponents were wrong. That's a strawman since opponents were not claiming we'd lose... I'll look for a transcript...

Nah, Scott Phillips. I don't know where to find a transcript of the show. I've sent maybe 2 dozen emails over the last couple years and never got one read on the air so this really caught me off guard and I was watching the late repeat or I would have taped it.

Just be glad you didn't get a signed copy. One of those lying around at your home and you would be thrown on a train to New Treblinka if anyone found it after the revolution.

A bit more on the serious side: Why bother? From what I've seen of Bill O'Reilly he's a total moron. He has a ability to grasp really on the same level as a Mushroom. Even most of the fanatical right wing americans around here would make more sence.

I think that the ratings have gone to O'Reilly's head. I watched him a few times early on, when Fox was biased but constrained by the fact that Clinton was in the White House. BUt after a point, it was absurd. He is a journalist (at best), what the hell does he know about all the topics he brings people to talk about? He even critiziced the Pope for his anti-war message: fine, disagreee with the Pope, but to state the man must be wrong and perhaps apeasing evil....absurd given the current Pope's life history and achievements.

He made a point of telling the emailer who followed mine a book was on the way even emphasing "YOU" will be getting a book. The nature of my emails would disqualify me from getting one...

O'Reilley, isn't he the one who says "Warning, you are just about to enter a no spin zone" right before he starts his right-wing interpretation of current events?
