O’Reilly has gone overboard, so to speak, to be “fair” and “balanced” regarding Kerry in this whole affair. Now, he’s finally giving SBVT their due.

There’s no one better than O’Neill to make the SBVT case. Frankly, he’s already made it, time and time again, and much damage has already been done to the Kerry campaign.

BOR’s not stupid, he knows this, and that many in his audience also know this. Fear not my brothers, O’Neill will continue to kick buttocks.

For me, the only question is how BOR will attempt to retract his defective premature evaluation of the SBVT evidence in the first place. Surely he’ll realize that he shot his wad way to soon on this one.

Ms Clinkton needs a "running "mate"" little mirror Bill would be just

the low class act to do it.

Plus it would save money on a Press Sexatary

other than that have a nice day "bill o/real/ly "

Until I see otherwise, I prefer to give Bill the benefit of the doubt.
I think that by now he HAS read UFC and realizes that he judged
the SBVT too quicky. I think many people are reluctant to denigrate
the military service of another person. I think for Bill, who tends to be
cynical at times, it was natural to dismiss the SBVT at first. Then, when
he had already taken a stand, it was hard to reverse course. I think
he has invited John on the show, not to "ambush" him, but to try to
salvage his own credibility. The SBVTs have the right to comment
on JK's military service because they were there and directly observed
the actions they are describing. I will be very surprised if Bill does
anything other than treat John with the respect he deserves.

In addition, I do not believe FOX has issued some sort of "decree" for
its commentators to move to the left. FOX is in the position they are
in precisely because they attempt to be "fair and balanced". Leaning
more to the left - or right - would defeat that purpose. Why mess with
success?

We don't need him to be a friend. We don't care if he's a foe.

He needs to be honest.

BOR appears to have finally read UFC. Better late than never, Billy Boy! What an insufferable blowhard. Fox in general is almost as bad as any of the others in the MSM, particularly with their fear mongering, celebrity gossip/worship, and "courtroom drama" (gag!) nonsense. The exceptions are Hume, Hannity, and a couple of the regulars on Hume's show.

I know O'Reilly spins for Demos, presumably to keep nutty liberals tuned in. So he is by no means, a flawless truthfighter.

However, I thought the Swiftboats scored big tonight.

After O'Reilly read Unfit For Command, he basically concluded that....

* Kerry was anti-war before he even went to Vietnam
* Kerry exaggerated on his war record
* Kerry was 100% wrong to do what he did when he came back

Now to me, that's about right.

I would have loved to have had the 1971 assassination plot, the secret commie meetings discussed, as well as the hideous cover on Kerry's anti-American book exposed - but overall, I thought O'Reilly made Kerry look bad.

And by bringing up Kerry's anti-war speeches at Yale, many viewers will likely conclude that Kerry went to Vietnam with a pre-conceived "add war on resume" agenda for later political exploitation.

I dont care what he says from now on, He completely back peddled tonight on the factor. this is great for SBVT, however the fair and balanced was out the window and the efforts of the SBVT were lumped together with the Moveon crowd.
I understand that He has to appear objective. so whats wrong with treating all of them the same, look into allegations, and if untrue expose them for the liars they are? If true expose the alligations for the value the hold and make the candidate accountable for the issue?
BOR didnt take that course, he took the Course of old Tips buddy Mathews on hairyballs.
So my stance is in concrete, Orielly has lost credibuility, I do ot watch him, I watch Hume, and listen to Rush for info I need to help the cause.

BOR is a lemming
