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.
