Didn't see it, and although she got a very light sentence, two plus years for a woman in not such great health is no picnic either. Not sure what my opinion on this case is either, as it seems she did both good and bad things during her career. |

I saw a little bit of that but didn't see our own Jeff out there. I am sort of undecided but if she helped terrorists, like it looks like she did, then I have very little sympathy. I don't know the whole story though.... |

Hey Jeff - Just curious if Abdel Rahman has tried to ask you to pass on any coded messages to his buddies? (i.e. Tell Ty Cobb to get his T206 and attack the N172) |

Rahman isn't a baseball fan, he prefers football instead (he loves to see the bomb thrown); therefore, I could never represent him. |

Adam, don't kid yourself-O'Reilly is the highest rated cable talk show, period, in like every demographic. More young people watch him, by far, than anyone else. |

Ryan- I'm with you. If more young people watch O'Reilly is that a feather in O'Reilly's cap or a condemnation of how conservative America's youth are? When I was young I would have used an 8" x 10" of O'Reilly to roll joints on, and have a few good laughs along the way. |

No Scott, you are probably in the majority, and that is what is so disheartenening to me. Where is all the moral outrage that we felt growing up during the Viet Nam war? Don't want to get too carried away, as I know Leon does not like these political threads. But I need to rave and rant every once in a while to get it out of my system. |

While I am squarely in the Adam/Barry/Ryan camp, I would make the point that my beef with O'Reilly and Olbermann, as well as most other commentators, is that they present complicated issues in too simplistic terms. Most of the tough issues we face have at least two arguable sides but such a presentation typically lacks drama and fails to instill passions. I think we would all be better off if there were some tv commentators who both educate and entertain in an even-handed manner. Ted Koppel's former Nightline show comes to mind, although perhaps not everyone would agree. Mark |

Ryan, I'm trying to find something in my posts here that indicate that I either like O'Reilly's show, like him or support any of his positions. All I reported was his show's demographics. Alas, I cannot - but that didn't stop you from jumping to conclusions about me. I had taken a neutral political position on the Stewart case when I was on - that she belonged in jail (unlike most liberal thinking), just not a de-facto life sentence (unlike most conservatives). I also supported O'Reilly's position that the country has gotten way too negative when it comes to political criticism. After the show was over, I only received one death threat from someone who presumed I was a lefty (even though my comments implied no political leanings at all). I'm simply amazed at how angry people are in this country - both liberal and conservative - which causes them to not think clearly sometimes. I think it's bad for our country, period, regardless of one's political affiliation. |

Everyday I'm pleased with my decision to leave both the Republicans and Democrats behind. Neither of them represent my values and the "shouting heads" programs are like political junk food, lots of rhetoric, little substance. My life is actually more informed, and more happy with out the CNN's, Washington Posts, and Fox News' of the world. |

Jeff- I think you made a very good point and we even prove it on this board- that the country is very split and likewise very angry. The Nov 7 elections should be a good indicator of just how outraged people may or may not be. And you really got a death threat? There are so many nuts out there. And Ted, while you are free to dislike the way Keith delivers the news, calling him a Communist is hitting below the belt. That's just an old schoolyard ruse that doesn't hold much water. But we're still friends. I take it back, you called the network, not Keith, Communist. My error, but same sentiment. |

And may I add (as I think to myself) that I try to be very careful who I discuss political matters with. I tend to be more conservative, but most of my friends are democrats, and when we approach issues, we always make ground rules. Terms like "liberal", don't really describe anything, and mean different things to different folks. What my friends and I have agreed on is that the art of civil debate is long lost in this country. Our media is so catered to our niche and interest, that if we don't want to, we don't have to think outside of the box; creating lazy mindsets and lazy politics. |

Let's see, the so called conservatives turned a budget surplus into the largest deficit this country has ever seen. Pork barrell spending is at its zenith and Bush has never used his Veto power once to strike any of it down. So far 8 Republicans have been either indicted or plead guilty in the Abramoff scandal for taking bribes, Denny Hastert looked the other way when a Republican member of congress was showing a little too much interest in underage pages. Tom Delay is under indictment for money laundering. Bill Frist under investigation for insider trading....not to mention his creepy admission to dissecting cats in his apartment when he was in college...oh and don't forget how he diagnosed Terry Schaivo from watching a videotape. |

O'Reilly gave Andrea Mackris anywhere from 2-10 million dollars to drop her lawsuit. Innocent people don't settle for 2-10 million dollars if the charges are false. She had him on tape doing some pretty disgusting things. I'm pretty sure O'Reilly has singlhandedly destroyed the falafel industry. |

Scott- back in the late 90's, 9/11 hadn't happened yet. Now the stakes are ratcheted up and if the Democrats get back in the driver's seat they better be ever more vigilant. I think they know that but we shall see. If not, we might as well sell our baseball cards now before we are all turned back into dust. |

FOX, let's not forget that those long-playing favorites like NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC all have slants on the news too and while it's definitely off center it ain't to the right. And while you're perusing the halls of Congress Dan, there's a skeleton or two in a few dozen of the Democrats closets. Always the other guy.......... |
