CORRECTED REPOST:
Someone yesterday posted that Maddow has been ‘consistently’ beating Hannity? HA, HA, HA!
CNN and especially Andy Cooper are losers, losers, and losers!
@Hal
CNN and HLN are both part of TBS, so they never lose.
@Tama and BobbyV
The funniest part of last night’s Factor show was hearing Charles Krauthammer tell O’Reilly that he basically needs to get on medication after witnessing his meltdown.
Oh yeah, and hearing John Stossel tell O’Reilly that he was ‘out of line’ and especially when he called O’Reilly ‘obnoxious’ to his face…that was classic.
Yep, I agree with Charles for once, it’s time for Billo the Clown to get back on medication.
@ Hal:
Don’t listen to M2′s bullcrap. The success or failure of CNN and HLN have absolutely NOTHING to do TBS’s success or failure. They share the same stockholders is about all they have in common.
What Mark2 has failed to mention which should be of no surprise is that BOTH Stossel and Krauthammer AGREED with OReilly and the meds part was tongue in cheek on the part of Charles.
Funny how the important parts are left out!
@ mark2….Keep on keep on watching Bill O’Reilly on the sneak….you’re only helping his huge numbers get Hugher! Thank-ya-much.
While online, I had O’Reilly on at 8pm, 11pm and 4am. Bill has REALLY been given Colmes a free ride until last night. I guess no specific program cuts were in the DNC talking points. But, O’Reilly is not a monster. He apologized and told at least one other guest later that he felt bad about the way he treated Colmes and should have not used the word “liar.”
99% of the time, O’Reilly is taped. I think he’s doing his show at the same time The Five are live. FNC COULD have snipped a clip from the O’Reilly/Colmes showdown and promoted it the rest of the night. I know the 11pm feed would have maybe twice the audience it usually has with the teaser clip.
Funny, yes. Surprising, no.
Fox Fake News continues to corner the market on old viewers –over 65%. Remember: Obama–53 million votes; Billo–2-3 million right wingers…..
Hey, I just heard that the Trumper is going to give a comedic speech at the CPAC comedy convention…you know the guy who has a fox on his head and dates 2o year-olds if they don’t have a mind of their own…the guy who inherited $10 mil from his dad and his real estate contacts….bankrupt twice….and doesn’t believe Obama’s birth certificate…
Dung de dung dung!!!
IDIOT ALERT!!!!!!
Right wing priorities:–did I miss anything???
1) eliminate birth control and support the Personhood Amendment
2) eliminate gun background checks so more criminals and lunatics can get assault weapons and murder more children and adults
3) give big tax breaks to billionaires with yachts and private jets
4) replace science with creationism and bible study
5) eliminate Social Security, Medicare, the EPA, the FDA, the Federal Reserve, etc.
6) embrace racism, bigotry and general backward thinking
7) worship lunatics like Slimebaugh, Beck, Hannity and send them money
8) attend the CPAC Comedy Convention
9) watch Faux News–the propaganda arm of the right wing (bias 24/7)
10) ruin the economy by cutting spending in a recession or depression
11) Obstruction, obstruction, obstruction
Rat still can’t defend his absurd positions….because they are absurd…..step up, Rat–only if you dare………….
Hey, I hear Glen Beck is against Obamacare…that’s because with all the money he makes off right wing suckers, he can pay the 100% increases in heathcare costs every 10 years…….that the GOP endorses…..
This just in: Rand Paul is making a fool of himself on the Senate floor…..
the dows direction is being led by a few macro factors… one is the feds easy money policy.. second our fed is cornering the bond market, to force down interest rates… third we are printing dollars to buy our bonds, thus we are devaluing our currency… t
the DOW is just acting accordingly to what should happen when you ruin bond yields, for long term investments thus forcing more people to use equities as a larger part of a portfoleo as inflation resistant hedges….. you devalue the currency in which the dow is priced, and then you pump up with people your trying to convince everything is good…
the dow could go to 20000 in the next 4 years if obama and the fed keep stimulating the banks, printing money, cornering the bond market… you will see money keep going into the dow, cause it has nowhere else to go…
and as you see inflation, food prices increasing, gas going -up more, if obama continues his reckless policies… TIGHT MONEY IS . INEVITABLE if we keep treating our money like garbage
but the companies CAN RAISE THEIR PRICES.. thus these major companies can resist alot of the effects of a devaluing dollar by laying them off on you… the consumer, and stock prices will look good cuase of GREATER PROFITS, but no one will leave the next great depression unscathed
Obama denies handicapped children tours of the White House
USA 8888… so you are a moronic lemming… you have been so lied to you dont even know what the republicans stand for, and how their ideas would affect the nation… becuase all you know are lies… its funny that you post so much HATE, and yet you call others biggots…
please… make an economic arguement, like i did, IN SUPPORT OF DEMAND SIDE PRACTICES… in support of how obama is DRIVING UP THE PRICE OF FOOD, AND DRIVING UP THE PRICE OF GAS… and how that is good for the middle class…
please tell me how republicans saying we should stop devaluing the dollar, stop CORNERING THE BOND MARKETS, AND LOWER TAXES, TO BRING JOBS AND MANUFACTURING BACK TO THE NATION is bad for the nation…
i dont think you get that big buisness and wall street BENIFIT HEAVLY FROM OBAMAS DEMAND SIDE POLICIES… they just write the added costs off on the CONSUMER… ITS THE MIDDLE CLASS THAT SUFFERS… and obama is CAUSING MORE SUFFERKNG, DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO BLOCK THE CREATION PRIVATE SECTOR JBOS, AND MANUFACTURING JOBS, SO THAT HE CAN SAY THE RICH ARE DOING SO GOOD…
obama would rather hurt people, and accuse others for theri pain, TO TRY AND MAKE THE REPUBLICANS LOOK BAD, then actually do what is best for the nation
progressive Slayer, I am sorry for you that you are endeavoring to withdraw an intellectual response from such a troll.
