corplinx on O'Reilly?

Two things that jump out at me:
1) Is OReilly really making so much that this change in the tax rate at the top tier would affect him so heavily?
2) That alone sounds like a good enough reason to do it

1) The point Krugman made was it (the higher rate) didn't stop O'Reilly from achieving during the Clinton years.
2) Good point...I didn't think of that! :D
 
Personally, I like the Bill O'Reilly Show. I don't really know what most of you are whining about other than he won't just suck up all the liberal bilge that is passed by the elite liberal media.

Krugman is a socialist and we all know how well that philosophy has served the world. And he was making a lot cheap shots during that debate.

And O'Reilly correctly identified the political persuasion of the Fox lineup. Why do liberals have such a hard time admitting who is a liberal and who isn't? Conservatives never seem to.

And who said the majority shouldn't have something to do with public policy? Aren't the folks in Washington supposed to be representing the people?

You do realize that "the majority" is to the left of O'Reilly, don't you?

I would bite on your other comments, but they seem so ridiculous, they must be a set up. (Even O'Reilly made sure to reiterate he thought Krugman is a "quasi-socialist," to which I'm inclined to agree.)

Which is it? Liberal or Socialist? How can anyone fess up if you can't keep your name-calling straight?

Which is, of course, irrelevent to the argument that was being made in the first place.

But I guess it's easier to call a guy a socialist than actually address the arguments.

He has "serious anger problems" the same way a professional wrestler does. At some point people are going to realize that he is an entertainer.

That was a sarcastic remark. I wonder, does Bill O'Reilly consider himself an "entertainer"? I doubt it. I doubt most of his viewers think of him that way either.
Is he merely acting when he blows up on his opponents? Again, I don't think so.

He isn't some daytime talk-show host. His show is featured prominently on Fox "News".
