I just know I see a lot more posts by liberals ranting, raving and condemning O'Reilly than I do from Conservatives about Stewart or Maher. Must be because O'Reilly gets to them...rubs salt in their wounds, so to say.
Anyway, I must watch him sometime and see what all the fuss is about.
It is quite obvious why democrats fuss about O'Reilly but Republicans don't as much about Maher and Stewart and the like. Our guys poke fun at the truth. Even in their comedy they point out blatant facts that can not be refuted, but are easily made fun of. O'Reilly, and all of this is well documented, espouses venom and lies on his show. When his "reporting" is easily refuted, yet there are still drooling knuckle draggers walking about calling him a "culture warrior", then that does tend to raise the ire of those who wish to hear truth in reporting.
Of course, we also voice our opinions in public and our distaste is made visible. Republicans are a little more covert than that. Think about O'Reilly himself who has repeatedly made requests, along with his superiors at Faux News that Keith Olbermann and Countdown be taken off the air. When that hasn't happened, they make up lies about NBC, like the newest that they have funded terrorist in Iran through some weird chain of events that's so ridiculous even a conspiracy theorist would consider it insane.
