Thank you, Helen, for saying the truth even when no one wants to hear it. Israel is just the most recent Crusader colony of Europeans. How can so many of us fail to see the wrongness in the survivors of Hitler's holocaust going on to commit lebensraum in someone else's continent?

"I love how the democrats are quick to bash a republican, Yet they never criticize Obama."
Liberals have been criticizing Obama all over the place with the recent justification of the Nuremberg Defense.
Unlike the neocons, liberals don't just fall in lock-step. We're not obedient little stormtroopers who buy into Rush's latest rhetoric.

For the record, over the past eight years, liberals have been taking the brunt of the abuse, and we still are. No matter how much Bush screwed up (and it was quite a lot), no high-profile liberal called Bush a fascist or advocated for armed rebellion. Yet not even a month into Obama's presidency and high-profile conservatives were all calling Obama a fascist and claiming that we need armed revolution (and these were the same people who said that EVEN QUESTIONING a Republican President was tantamount to treason, yet advocating for the armed overthrow of a Democratic President is patriotism?).
Here's some more food for thought -- despite Glenn Beck's claims of "we surround them," "them" have some of the highest approval ratings in history while "we" keep plummeting lower and lower.
And for the record, many high-profile liberals said attacks on Palin's family were uncalled for. Most of the attacks on Palin focused on her own extreme stupidity (the Vice-President controls the Senate!).
And here's something about us liberals -- we actually KNOW the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence (unlike your personal hero, Rush Limbaugh).

I like him, he is honest and he tells it like it is, alot of people are so in awe I'll be nice of the new President that they can't handle the truth and thats what this man is about, unlike I might add the President, lets wait and see just who is the honest one in the coming months, sadly it sure is going to be a shame to see the USA go down in flames and its just a matter of time. I love this country, but I really am frightened by this man, it seems as though everyone has lost their minds when it comes to Obama, think about it, is it not just alittle odd?!

It must be awfully unsettling to the liberal media and many people who write in to this site that there are a lot of us who agree completely with Mr. O'Reilly on most issues. The scary thing for them is that we have Charles Darwin on our side. As the government progressively runs out of money, all the people on social programs will finally have to face the realities of life. Sorry you don't like Mr. O'Reilly, but I hope he runs for president next year.

Bill O'Reilly and Kieth Olbermann are both angry, petty clowns. Anyone who would form opinions based on what a couple of T.V. personalities tell them to think, are not thinking for themselves. That said, I've never had any respect for Helen Thomas. By virtue of seniority she gets to ask the first, but usually least relevant questions. Her left leaning elitist position is obvious. O'Rilly's comments are childish at best. Thomas is a public figure and, as such, is fair game. I don't think she needs help defending herself.

The most entertaining part of reading all of these loony comments is that few, if any, of these people watch The Factor. If they did, they would know that he is actually much more positive than the mainstream media, and he speaks facts from all points of views. The only "suicidals" you'll find watcher, are extreme people like yourselves. Tonight, when you sit at home and drink your koolaid, put on your "big kid" pants and actually watch O'Reilly... that is, if you can actually stand to hear some facts.

The hypocrisy is incredible...
Liberals can viciously attack everybody and anybody that doesn't agree with them completely. They can make up lies about conservative public figures. They can ridicule anybody with an opposing viewpoint. There are liberal websites all over the internet that specialize in smearing other peoples reputations. They publicly show their joy when people they don't agree with suffer tragedy or die.
BUT............God forbid if Bill O'Reilly says that Helen Thomas sounds like the wicked witch of the west!!!!
Let me take a stab in the dark here..........maybe you don't like O'Reilly because you are a left wing ideologue and you don't agree with his opinions. Could that be why you label him hateful? Because that would minimize his political viewpoints in your opinion and give your readers a clear sign that your viewpoints are right and his are wrong?????? Maybe??? possibly??
Let me drop a little knowledge on ya about this angry, homunculous (whatever that is). He's got the #1 rated news show on cable. A position that he has held for an incredibly long time. Maybe you should watch his show. You will find that his show features guests with differing viewpoints. He allows guests to express these viewpoints. How many times does Olbermann allow conservatives to express their opinions on his show?
