Rating: Summary: Bill O'Reilly: Lying, Splotchy Bully Review: Everything you need to know about lying blowhard O'Reilly can be found in Al Franken's "Lies" book (title of the O'Reilly chapter above). He is NOT an independent, he DID NOT win 2 Peabody's for "Inside Edition," he was NOT raised in a tough neigborhood, and he IS a bully who shouts down anyone on his show who disagrees with the (Republican) party line. Can I say anything nice about him? Well, on a good day, and with a skilled makeup artist, he's probably not all that splotchy. Just a completely despicable character, along the lines of Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, et al.
Rating: Summary: want some facts Review: I don't have 3 days to tell you all of oreilly lies so just check the site http://oreilly-sucks.com/
Rating: Summary: What a delusional buffoon Review: Who does this buffoon think he is? You give one second-rate blowhard a little air time on an unabashedly biased network and suddenly he thinks he's a noteworthy pundit. Personally, I'd rather have heard him respond to the persistent rumors that he's been porking Barbara Bush behind poor George's back. Bill is such a class act...not!
Rating: Summary: Who's Looking Out for You? Review: Pathetic. I want a refund. He makes we want to become a liberal.
Rating: Summary: I've noticed a pattern... Review: Anyone else notice something? Most of these reviews are either 1 star or 5 stars, and I think it would be safe to say that the reviewers could have written them without cracking open the book. Aren't people getting tired of this? We're paralyzing our country with this kind of partisan bickering and just yelling without thinking. I'm sure this book deserves neither 1 nor 5 stars. However, if you haven't read the book yet, follow my example and stop encouraging the pundits: don't buy these kinds of books. Don't buy O'Reilly's, don't buy Franken's, same with Coulter and Moore. Buy a book that asks questions rather than tells you the supposed answers. Think for yourself, don't let these blowhards think for you. (P.S. Sorry for voting, but I didn't have a choice. 3's the average anyway, so it doesn't change anything.)
Rating: Summary: Response to criticism of Madison Review: "We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind of self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God." James Madison (1751 - 1836), (attributed) In reply to whomever said this quote was not by Madison. Typically quotes are often attributed to figures in history due to the fact that there were no recording devices back then. This is a Madisonian quote. Look it up please.
Rating: Summary: Please excuse us liberals Review: For starters, I am a liberal. I would like everyone to know though that I have read all three of Bill O' Reilly's politically-geared books, and, in my opinion, this one is the best. Please excuse the liberals that have been commenting on this book, most I assure you have not so much as read the back cover. It is an excellent book for a conservative or liberal.
Rating: Summary: IGNORANCE IS BLISS Review: If you can read this book without getting a splitting migraine, go for it. Mr. O'Reilly's "tell it like it is" style is nauseating at best. This book is geared at making ignorant people feel smart. There is a term for this kind of propaganda - EMOTIONALLY POTENT OVERSIMPLIFICATION - If you are interested in an actual intelligent view of why things are the way they are (which you probaly aren't), try reading Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky. If it scares you, don't worry, you can always click on FOX NEWS and feel good again. IGNORANCE IS BLISS :)
Rating: Summary: THE RIGHT RULES - LEFTIES ARE LOSERS Review: This book has all of your answers! It's a fresh breath of new life! The book's awesome! Come on everyone, buy, buy, buy! so Bill can rise from the sea of losers and take his place at the top!!!
Rating: Summary: Idiot liberals won't like this book Review: That's right, I said it. Morons on the far left won't like this book because they don't like being told they are wrong (and the fact of the matter is - they are usually wrong). The problem with these nitwits is that they think O'Reilly is a flaming conservative. The fact of the matter is, O'Reilly just stands up for what is right and good. He doesn't tolerate liars or those who deceive. He is an independant thinker. Liberals don't like people who can think for themselves. They want people who can't think for themselves so they can control them. If you are one of these people, you will HATE this book.
