Would the stupidcrazy emanating from them reach critical mass and open up a stupidcrazy black hole, sucking the entire universe into a parallel universe where everybody is barking mad and as dumb as a box of hammers?

IMO, he does not believe what he says, or at least not to the extent he sometimes says it. It seems to me, for him, it's good business. I doubt he believes Obama is a socialist, but his audience does, so hey, why not.

Any half-educated person with an ounce of natural curiosity would never in a million years believe that the President is a socialist. O'Reilly, whatever we think of his character, is certainly not an idiot. He is merely playing a character on TV, a character that rewards him with an incredible amount of wealth and respect. Night after night, he just picks on an angle that will resonate most strongly with his bigoted base.

I think this interview scratches the surface of the real O'Reilly.

"But who cares what Gingrich says about Romney or vice versa. They're trying to get the nomination. They'll say anything."

"I am really looking forward to talking to Bill Clinton who is one of the smartest politician this country has seen in decades."

A real right wing ideologue would never say that. An actor though, would.

Main street in a town in Walsh's district. Your choice, earlier in November is better than later.


Go Tammy!
