Bill O'Reilly's promos promised all day yesterday that he would "expose" what "really happened" at the Netroots Nation gathering in Pittsburgh last week.

But the best he could do was produce some clips of moderately fiery rhetoric from a few speakers (actually, everything he features is in fact pretty reasonable, not to mention factually accurate) and then launch into one of his patented rants about how the "far-left" (why the hyphen, dude?) is actually all about "redistributing wealth," which is why we want "government-run health care."

Of course, he can produce no evidence to support this. Progressives at Netroots Nation, in reality, favor the compromise known as the "public option" instead of full-fledged government-run health care, perhaps better known as "single payer." And no one I heard said a word about "redistributing wealth." Maybe we harbor such sentiments secretly, but if O'Reilly wants to make that characterization, he ought to offer some evidence to support it.

1. What a tool he is...

I like the examples he uses to typify "loony left hatred". So these clowns we see at the teabagging parties, and screaming at town halls- They are just good simple folks who are concerned about the state of the country, huh? (Yeah- especially now that we have one of "them" in the Whitehouse)

And conservative outnumber liberals in almost every state? Too bad none of them have been voting these last couple of elections, eh Bill-o? Where is this information coming from? No sources cited as usual. It's just a fact because Bill-o says so.

2. Billo is jealous

The idiots at Faux got snubbed by the Dem Presidential debates and instead got hosted by NN.

3. Speaking as someone who was there, Bill...

Stick it up your ass.

9. And let it spin

Bill's ass is not a no spin zone.

4. LIBERALS ONLY HAVE 3 STATES? guess i missed the election !!!

REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH.......... y o u g o t i t r i g h t o n t h a t

5. I didn't know much of that! What an eye-opener!

It's a shame - if the country wasn't so conservative, perhaps Obama would've gotten elected president! Oh, wait, maybe O'Reilly's wrong for once!

6. America is a center-right country? Still?

I must have been dreaming last November when a liberal black guy from Illinois trounced an ex-military pilot in the Presidentia election, and the Democrats won 60 Senate seats and a huge majority in the House. How many elections do you people have to get trounced in before you realize...

You know what? I've changed my mind. You're right - America IS a center-right nation. You keep it up with your tea bags. You're making a lot of progress.

7. It's not only social justice it's business sense. I mean what are they on who can subscribe to ...

their nonsense if they spend it all on healthcare or go bankrput. The insanity to put party first is beyond reason.

8. Far-left loons... blah blah blah...

Redistribution is not the American way, but The Factor can live with Food Stamps, TANF, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid... oh wait...
