Im about as liberal as they come. But I cannot miss a episode of the Factor. I just love hearing my warning about entering the No Spin Zone. I dont believe a word this guy says but I cant stop watching.

Anyone else have this problem?

He's number one for a reason. Check out Beck. Straight shooter. One of the few.
Very Happy

He's number one? Seriously?

I start every morning with a half hour of Nancy Grace. Now that woman is a shady "journalist" who was already disbarred for being a shady prosecutor.

Bill O, Glen Beck and Rush are like this perfect trifecta of 'I cant believe this person is actually saying this outloud.' They're all like angry, bitter, and even more insane versions of Michael Scott. Your jaw goes slack, maybe your hackles rise, but you scroll back the 'youtube' bar just to check that, yes, you really did just hear what you thought you heard.

And not because they're speaking truth to power. . .


Yes, I too have enjoyed BIll's slow, methodical descent into paranoia and madness. I'm behind on my 'factor, though.

Just how many papers and news outlets are on Bill's blacklist? And just which Americans are 'Anti-American'? Which company/person/politician/journalist/random American/veteran is Bill going to 'crush' with his power today?

It's been a long time since I've been in the states, but Michael Savage was more outrageous (on his radio talk show) than any of the aforementioned rabble-rousers.

Among the liberals, Ed Schultz is probably the most effectively aggressive ...

Not sure where I fit in here, if at all.
I'm not a commie pinko moonbat. BUT...
I enjoy MSNBC's lineup of Hardball with Chris Matthews, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and The Rachel Maddow Show.
It wasn't until I watched Rachel long enough to develop a familiarity crush on her, and actually Google her, that I found out the unspeakable.
*sigh* So much for me ever getting romantically involved with a LIBERAL.

0', yeah. Bill O's OK, but I'd been brainwashed by Olbermann's incessant pummelings before I actually watched him,
plus Dave calling him a goon kinda ruined it all for me.

lol. Yeah I remember thinking how charming and smart she seemed and then that little niggling feeling in the back of my head went 'beep. . . beep. . . beep.'

I had never even heard of Olbermann until I went to Japan and was trying to find an interent site to watch the U.S. news. And, lo and behold, I finally found someone who's outrage matched my own.

and Ben Affleck's impression was spot-on:

"YOU SIR ARE. . . A FASCIST!'

Beck is my new favourite muppet. I love how he is breaking down in tears to advocate the overthrow of the new Obama government.

I don't mind O'Reilly too much. His constant nagging does begin to sound like a whiney old lady after awhile, but I think he usually says what is true. He is more conservative, but he definitely calls people out on things and he isn't going to be their friend just because they're Republican or whatever.
I don't always agree with him, but I do feel like I've heard both sides of the story after listening. I don't feel that way with Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann. (although I was impressed when Keith called out Obama on his decision to keep wire tapping).

Agreed! I listened to Michael Savage for about two years and was never, never not surprised by the sh$t he said. This guy is absolutely nuts.

Ive watched Beck a few times. That guy is a loon. Michael Savage is my favorite radio guy (behind the Radio Factor of course)...

The Factor has been the #1 Cable News Show in the US for the past 10 or so years STRAIGHT. Nobody has been able to beat him. Because we cant believe what he says. Like from the Howard Stern Movie Private Parts

"Those who hate him listen to him to see what he will say next"

I love you Bill. You crazy senile old man.

EDIT: People I actually like... Tom Leykis. Thats about it. Kieth Obermann is ok but he tries to hard for me.

Just proves the old adage, it's the rednecks who put the RED in RED STATE AMERICA.....

His trashing of Eminem lately begs the questions, "Who wins in a fight between Bill and Em?"


The answer- The American people! Cool


The award for either is not so good, though..... The winner really does get Sarah Pallin..... and the loser?

Her slutty daughter! Twisted Evil
