Why Does O'Leilly Continue To Lie So Blatantly About the WoXmas?
Media matters is all over this: http://mediamatters.org/

O'Leilly spouts these lies and is called on them hours later by the people he's impugning. Does he not think that it matters that his lies are debunked so quickly and easily? I mean, telling his audience that the USPS no longer offers a Xmas stamp with a religious theme on it when his audience has probably already purchased the Madonna & Child stamps for their Xmas cards just seems...stupid (of course, O'Leilly's audience probably sits around complaining that such stamps aren't available as they paste them onto the envelopes!).

Another Bubble Boy.

21. His base would have lost track of blow jobs if MSM hadn't kept it page one
for months!

We have a school board member who didn't understand what was going on when there was a big ruckus about incident of oral sex on a school bus. Didn't understand the term. Thought the pair involved were talking about sex. See, without constant reminders from the liberal media they forget! :D

8. And yet he gains cred when NBC invites him on to the Today Show.
My question isn't whether he's a hack. We all know that he is. But even liars - good liars - are selective in their "facts." O'Leilly acts like he's a god, inventing realities that are shot down within minutes. He's truly delusional.

7. His listeners don't care
Bill gives them someone to blame for whatever is wrong in their life. Out of work? It's the welfare queen in New York City that's killing the economy. Get a divorce? Blame the gays. Whatever your problem is Bill can tell you whose fault it is, as long as it's not yours.

Besides, Media Matters is a bunch of liberal, elitist gays who lie anyway, so why would his listeners pay any attention?

14. He's a one trick pony
It's a schtick, nothing more, nothing less...I doubt he even has his own idealogy, it's a part he's playing. He just spews this crap like candy, and his loyalists suck it up...once people no longer pay attention, he's obsolete. Let's hope it's sooner rather than later.

It's a tool for right wing groups to rake in donations.

20. Its good for his ratings
That's all he cares about.

When everyone freaks and writes stories about it and talks about it....then he thinks he will get more viewers...and he may be right.

22. Colbert has made him irrelevant
exposed every one of his tricks, down to the format of "The Word".

no "liberal" should ever set foot on his set or show. it merely validates father coughlan jr.
