CSpan caller: "O'Reilly couldn't have said it on TV, if it wasn't true."
Jiminy Christmas. This kind of mentality is what we are up against.

This comment was in reference to a secret meeting Kerry had with heads of media. Are they talking about the meeting our own Will Pitt attended? I think it was just prior to IA or NH primaries.

2. SEE??!?! This is the insidious thing about Murka these days
"If it's on the news, it must be true" has been the thing that has allowed bu$h and his cronies to wipe they ass with the Constitution. The Sheep are content to wait for the TV News to tell them what to think.

:argh:

4. It had to be true
because he said it on TV....What a crock'o's...
I too find it so hard to believe that there are STILL people who get there news from that repuke propaganda machine! How incredible.
WHY don't people think for them selves?

5. It's a good sign - they are weak and close to the breaking point...
it's just starting to fall apart...O'Reily and Co. are doing Bush more harm than good at this point...

That CSPAN caller seemed like someone who was on the cusp of waking up to the fact he has been lied to...

11. Wingnuts are weak minded
The people who are sucked in by the like of Limbo and Hannity are people who otherwise could not form an opinion by themselves. These people are generally timid and weak minded and need these people as a crutch.

16. Franken has really gotten under O'Reilly's skin
this can't be good for Bill's mental health.
