Stern dresses O'Reilly down about O'Reilly merchandise
"garbage" he called it- O'Reilly offered him a jacket on the show, and Stern said he would give it to a crack whore.

O'Reilly claimed that all the profits on merchandise are given to charity, what are the chances that that is true? (My bet is 0)

2. Maybe we should insist on documentation`
He claims he donates to Habitat for Humanity, Howard said you've got enough money, why don't you donate with your own money and not your fans money?

13. Howard missed the opportunity to say
"unless you're tapped out from your phone sex scandal payoff" ... now that would have been funny!!!

Has anyone ever seen someone wearing any of his merchandise? Drinking from one of his cups? Been at a home with one of his doormats?

10. I did see a bumper sticker
in the parking lot at Yankee Candle in S. Deerfield, MA (anyone who lives in the Northeast and has a wife or is a wife knows what I'm talking about).

On an SUV with New York plates (not that there is anything wrong with that) and straddling two RARE parking spaces.

I wish more freeps would buy his stuff, it would make them easier to identify so we can stay away, or laugh derisively.

17. i think that's part of why he's thinking of retirement...
there's simply not enough numbers IN the lunatic, right-wing, nut-ball fringe to support o'reilly, and his ego, let alone his 'gear' & his one trick pony shtick, and now even he knows that he has to give the shit away to get it out there x(

6. Yes Stern!
O'Reilly doesn't have to suck money out of his fans to support charities. I'm sure his salary would cover that many times over.

Stern can be crazy but he really doesn't like hypocrisy. I love it when he fights somebody.

I am tired of people being intimidated by O'R and it thrills me no end when he has to take his own medicine.

16. O'Reilly gives to charity in the same way as Limbaugh supports the troops!
:sarcasm:

18. You don't even need the sarcasm tag
they both let their fans do it, while they take the credit!

He may be telling the truth about giving 100% of the profits to charity, I figure it works like this:

annual sales: $1 million
cost of goods: $20,000
fulfillment: $20,000
O'Reilly salary for the O'Reilly store: $959,000

Net Profits donated to charity: $1,000.
