I just dropped a letter to Mr. O'Reilly. Here you go:

Mr. O'Reilly,

Just wondering if you have read the SBVT's book or not? I hope so since you are stating an opinon about what they have to say. I'm a Criminal Investigator Mr. O'Reilly and I can safely say there are a number of things the SBVT have brought to light that are quite damning to Mr. Kerry.

Be objective about this, and you haven't, and look at what Mr. Kerry has already had to refute. Two points, Cambodia and his first PH. He has had to back track on both of these. Now if I was investigating this guy, I would have to start questioning his whole story and more than likely I would have this guy in deep trouble.

There is nothing slimy or dishonest about what these Vet's are doing Mr. O'Reilly. They have a right and I believe an obligation to speak up and let everybody know what this man is truly like. Nobody expects you to take a side. But people do expect you to be intellectually honest in your broadcast. Read the book and investigate what Mr. Kerry has been saying for the past 30 some odd years.

Everybody has their own truths Mr. O'Reilly, but the facts are the facts. Just because this man went to Vietnam does not make him a hero.

Best Regards,
M.S.

After watching him the past few weeks, and finally turning him off, I believe Billy is really a Kerry man but knows that his audience is Bush. No more Billy Boy for me.

Oreilly is a Kerry man, they go way back. BOR wrote the endorsement of Kerry's tour of doo doo. BOR probably has anti-vietnam war skeletons in his closet he doesn't want to expose, BOR is all about ratings.

On the latter though, given the disgust that so many former BOR fans have with BOR over the swiftvet issue, his ratings have to go down. I hope so, down, down, down into oblivion.

Bill likes his letters short and "pithy", here are two letter I have sent:

Bill,

Come out from under your desk and interview John O'Neil.

T.S

Bill,

READ THE BOOK!

T.S.

Why do you guys think O'Neil has not been on his show yet? He has been on every other show, most were much less friendly than The Factor. It is the #1 cable news show and O'Neil needs to be on it.
I am boycotting the show until he has him on.

I've been a BOR Premium Member for quite a while, actively participating in his Feedback Zone. I have NEVER seen the members so upset with him over any other issue. Either he is a secret member of the KKK aka Kerry Kool-Aid Kamp or he is being blackmailed by the KKK's "Brown Book".

With him contributing to Tour of Duty, he may be a not-so-secret member of the KKK or maybe now that he's become "rich and famous", he's forgotten his roots and is no longer "looking out for the folks". I've also been surprised on several occasions with how "chummy" he has been with various porn stars, strippers, and prostitutes, so maybe there are pictures or videos being held over his head? This is all, of course, rank speculation, but I can't think of anything else to explain his unfair and unbalanced coverage of the SBVT.

In a recent poll, 62% of his audience indicated they wanted to hear more about the SBVT, but O'Reilly basically said, "I really don't care what you want ... this is a dead issue". Unbelievable. Bill O'Reilly is certainly no longer looking for the truth in an unbiased manner, IMHO.

O'Reilly is in the entertainment/ratings business. He's trying (very trying, but I digress) to create a degree or two of separation between himself and the other "analysts."

He's stretching very, very hard to appear MOR but in the process is losing a lot of his loyal audience (radio and TV).

I suspect that the increasing pressure on him brought by the SBVT and the book will cause him to return to the fold.

Billy the Bully screams the motto 'No spin Zone' daily, but he spins things faster than any one else ever has. I used to watch him, but just can't stomach him anymore. He ran a pole and found 62% were still in favor if the SBVT story and this proved him wrong, but like Kerry he has a bigger need for power than for facts. He won't be showing his face in my home anytime soon.

I'd like to know what his viewing numbers were two months ago and now. No Billy for me!

Wow,
I didn't know about the Bor / bagdad john connection. that explains alot!

bor says he believes Rassman because he's a retired Ca law officer...

that doesn't make him infalable! I worked at Barstow court for several

yrs. - they lie, believe me

there is also the sampan incident and the boat position on 3/13/69 that bagdad john lied about... and has been exposed by his book and Sandusky.... he's been lying in speeches (and clinton said it today also) saying that all the men from his boat are with him.... not Steve Gardner (and it doesn't matter that steve wasn't on the boat that one day... he was at other times....)
i've thought about something else.... kerry /rassman say they were shot at.... well, they did go up/down the river about 3 miles..... away from the other boats... maybe the vc just shot at them? maybe the vc knew him and didn't like him.... (ha, ha)

I had been a BOR fan for the last few years. Two weeks ago I made a conscious decision to not watch his show or listen to his radio broadcast ever again. I've felt much better ever since -- except for those darned books I see on my bookshelf. Every time I walk past I feel anger welling up inside me again over his arrogant stubborness in not fairly covering this issue. Being wrong is one thing, but spinning it is entirely another. I've made up my mind the books aren't going in the garbage, but they are getting boxed up and mailed back to him! That's the clearest message I figure I can send.

I too have been a BOR devotee for years, even though my family screams and flees the room when his show starts. They even accuse me of mirroring his political views and knowing nothing but what he tells me. Now, everything is changed and we have peace in the house again. They even believe I'm smarter now that I quit watching. Hannity's better anyway.

What an awesome idea. I'm gonna do it too, along with my BOR shirt. Let me know if you have an address.
Maybe Markasass could post something on the Premium board about it.

I hope all of you e-mailed O'Reilly (OReilly@foxnews.com) and informed him that you were no longer watching him and state why - I have quit watching or listening to O"Reilly a couple of weeks ago and informed him of such. When his ratings start to go down he will then realize that it was us, the conservative sector, who made him so popluar.
