Jeff LichtmanHey -- wasn't this thread about me? Can't we get back to that? 
Ryan, thanks for clearing that up. I just presumed by what you wrote that you thought I was an O'Reilly supporter because I was on his show (I'm also on other shows across the political spectrum). As for the young people that watch O'Reilly, I mean the age group of 18 to approximately early 30s. Certainly, Fox News has a large share of this demographic. As for Keith, it's a different type of show and has to go up against the O'Reilly buzz saw every night. He does like baseball cards, however, so he's ok in my book.
Barry, I appreciate what you say about the need for change. Alas, in America, when one party is out of power for a while it is inevitable that they will get back into power as the status quo, i.e. the party in power, eventually angers all.
I don't purport to know Bill O'Reilly in any meaningful way. However, I happen to think based on my limited dealings, that he is a decent guy and I agree with him a lot and disagree with him a lot. I don't color my views to take advantage of a show I'm on; I just say what's on my mind. The fact that he may or may not have sexually harrassed an underling does not necessarily color my view of him. After all, if Bill Clinton can do it so can O'Reilly. My point is, we shouldn't be so quick to condemn public figures for their personal shortcomings. After all, I'm sure all of us have done things we are not proud of.
Finally, we really are in such a dangerous part of our history with what is going on in the world and all. I think finger-pointing and negativity solely to advance one's cause is not the way to go. It's selfish, shortsighted and doesn't advance the ball at all.
