Bill O'Reilly says internet free speech is bad - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

stizzous · 06-17-2003, 09:18 PM

types of people that watch o'reilly

1)republicans who are impressed with his no-nonsense approach and his conservative values. although they may disagree every now and then, they usually just accept what he says because it probably sounds logical at first and they feel comfortable holding a majority opinion rather than think through issues themselves

2)democrats who are outraged by his incessant arrogance. they take pride in the fact that they disagree with every single issue he presents because after all he is just a tool for the corporate giants...but they will never give him any credit for any good point he may make

3)undecided people who dont really care too much about the issues, but like watching the show because its fun to watch people argue

4)people who watched the show for a little bit and liked his style....but then stopped watching because they realized the following:

a)SENSATIONALISM - his entire job consists of finding opposing opinions and exploiting them, whether they relavant or not
b)he gets his popularity through hatred - republicans watch to trash democrats, and vice versa
c)if he really gave a damn about helping people like he acts he would find common ground that both republicans and democrats can work together to achieve, not just play both sides against each other
d)his show has no value...not as a news source, not as a debate forum, not as a voice for the majorit or minority...it is Jerry Springer without the chairs

so obviously i have stopped watching the show as i have realized the things i have just listed....can anyone guess if I am democrat or republican?? the winner gets a cookie

I am guessing you are number 4 but weather you are republican or democrat I cannot tell.

Can I have a cookie?

I'm pretty sure he is a Democrat but will insist he is a free thinking Independent.

Everyone claims to be Libertarian these days, so why not guess that?

I only say that because some of the brainwashed Bush ass licking Republicans claim to be Libertarian because they think it makes them sound more independent.

I know some cool libertarians, and the real ones usually hate Bush as much as they hated Clinton, if not more.

So all over the country, we have people posting the most vile stuff imaginable, hiding behind high tech capabilities. Sometimes the violators are punished, but most are not. We have now have teenagers ruining the reputations of their peers in schools on the Internet. Ideologues accusing public officials of the worst things imaginable. And creeps gossiping about celebrities in the crudest of ways.

The Internet has become a sewer of slander and libel, an unpatrolled polluted waterway, where just about anything goes.

Apparenlty Bill doesn't like it when he can't just turn off the mic on people who make him look stupid.

But it's true: Just look at this board!

Not sure which is worse, hypocritical conservatives or naive libertarians.

Progressive socialism all the way, baby.

Socialism is NOT what this country is built on.

Pay your own fucking way!

Right wing bloggers didn't like Bill's comments too much, apparently:

BILL O?REILLY ENCOUNTERS THE NO-WEENIE ZONE

The Blogosphere is buzzing in response to Bill O?Reilly?s whiny complaints about the Internet. The problem with the Net, according to this Man Of The People, is that there aren?t enough bosses to protect the interests of famous people:

?That sound you hear is the sound of thousands of ?right-wing? bloggers changing their tv channel from Fox News to ... anything else.? But because this embarrassing ?who are these little people to criticize the likes of me? bit indicates that O?Reilly has lost touch with the common man, and started to identify with the ?famous people.?

thats how most of them think though - but what they forget is that it is the same freedom that lets us do whatver is the same freedom that lets them say that crap.

They are a bunch of dicks - what they are basically saying is "we can say anyting we want to, because this is America - but YOU have no right to say the shit you want to say because we think it is wrong....

fuck em all
