The Bad: A few days later the poor parents of the girl were on his show and he came back to them and said “I’ll give you the last word”. Like this was a debate or something. I had to email him and let him know that was extremely insensitive to treat a grieving family like they were one of his debates. Really it's that kind of stuff that makes me think O'Reilly isn't too bright. That really is my biggest problem with the guy...he often, to me, appears clueless...it's not so much his politics or which way he leans...I don't care about that he's welcome to his beliefs. I think as you said, he'll push a question to try and get a response...and sure, with say politicians, it can be hard sometimes to get a straight answer...I just don't think he asks the right questions a lot of the time.

New: I have to agree with you on that one but he asks enough of the straight questions to keep me interested.  He definitely picks areas that no other journalist goes near which I appreciate and he generally does a good job on research. I say generally because it is not perfect.

Are you referring to the story of the supposed affair with Kerry? That was a pretty lame trick by Rove (I would assume) and nothing has come of any substance so it was just a diversionary tacticRove came up with that for 2000 campaign but it was a much smaller plan then. He was going to have Bush say he would grant amnesty to all illegal Mexicans. Rove is tight with the Mexican government so he'd talked extensivly with them about it. Now, when Rove told the GOP about this plan they flat out said "No way Karl!" and produced numbers and examples that showed a plan like that would do serious harm to a state like California. So Rove had to shelf the plan. He didn't have the power then that he has now. Well it's 2004 and what does Rove do right at the beginning of the year...he has Bush announce this amnesty plan...only now it's bigger...much bigger...and includes all illegal aliens and opens our borders to more if they want to come here to work. This hurts the National Security plan they had in place and downright goes against it...I mean they bitch about Canada making it too easy for people to enter their country and how that's a rick to our National Security then they do this...plus we have a weak economy right now and an influx of foreign works would damage it even more...and you have said you worry about your job...well I worry about your job too...and what I'll do for work...I would prefer you keep your job..
New:A couple of question here:
1. Where are you getting your information on Rove?
2. You are saying the Amnesty of Illegal Aliens was Rove’s idea?
3. What is Roves benefit from this?
I’m trying to understand this because this was the biggest B.S. deal that Bush put out there and I did not agree with it.

Bush seems to be saying he could care less...and opening the doors to large corporations who may be able to hire say a guy from India for less than you to take your job...saving the corporation money and putting you on the street...this whole plan Bush has going is very dangerous to this country for a lot of reasons...but Rove is only concerned with seeing if he can syphon minority voters that normally would vote Democrat...which he believes in a tight election could be huge...see what I'm saying? So, that's the kind of mistakes I mean. It's policy created not for the good of the people and the country...and I know there are some people here on this board that like the idea of getting immigrant workers a better situation and so do I but this isn't the way...it's created just to try and win Bush 4 more years but we'll pay for it a lot longer than that. What I see

New:I’m glad this is becoming an issue because it definitely has not been addressed by the Republican party or Bush. It’s not just the H1 Visa problem it’s the export of technical jobs to foreign countries. The companies are only thinking of the bottom line TODAY. Not the impact that it will have today on unemployment of the U.S. technical worker and 10 years from now where countries like India are doing all of our technology work. We are going to wake up one day and say WTF did we do?

 Hmnnn a conservative host that likes Kerry. Can you give me an example of what he likes about Kerry?Well, he likes pretty much everything about Kerry. He says he knows him personally and if there was ever a guy that was very "presidential" it's Kerry. The only thing he doesn't like about him is he's a Democrat. I can tell you from living here in Massachusetts, I too like Kerry, and he's not Ted Jr. or anything like Clinton. I don't think Rove will find much on him...that's why they keep distorting stuff like the special interest thing, Vietnam stuff, etc...because I don't believe there's anything really damaging in his closet. There will be stuff that gets floated I'm sure...for a long time there's been this dumb story that Kerry pretends to be Irish which is actually not true but I bet we see stuff like that show up.

New:This guy does not sound like a conservative talk show host that I would agree with too much but I guess I would really have to listen to him to make that statement

What’s his name and his show streamed on the internet? Have you heard of the Replay Radio?The guys name is Jay Severin he's on 96.9 WTKK in Boston from 3pm-7pm eastern time. Now, please understand there's a lot about this guy I don't like. He's got some real nasty ideas floating around in his head on stuff like gay marriage, that we should nuke Iraq, he uses a lot of "hate words" in the worst possible way...like refering to people as "wetbacks" etc...and he hates people like Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton with a passion. This is where he turns himself into a joke...but he also produces some very clearly thought out well structured arguments that those on the right...talk show guys or the people they throw on tv...don't really seem capable of. So I think the show is a good way to get inside the mind of a guy like Rove. This guy was a political consultant that worked for people like Pat Buchanon before he got on the radio. So check him out if you can and let me know what you think.

New: I’ll try and find him. Thanks for the information
