“Apparently sparked by the PlayStation 3 launch, conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly took off after video game culture and digital technology generally in yesterday’s Radio Factor,” GamePolitics reports. “The controversial talk show host, who advertises his program as a ‘no spin zone’ offered the following spin on Apple’s iPod:”
I don’t own an iPod. I would never wear an iPod… If this is your primary focus in life – the machines… it’s going to have a staggeringly negative effect, all of this, for America… did you ever talk to these computer geeks? I mean, can you carry on a conversation with them? …I really fear for the United States because, believe me, the jihadists? They’re not playing the video games. They’re killing real people over there.

Farly,
Wow, you really let ’em have it there! LOL
Why do we suck so much? Because we want to let people do what they want to do, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else? Oh yeah, WE’RE the bad guys.

Talk about a complete lack of social skills, Mr. O’Reilly has no idea how to communicate with the generation he’s so bent on criticizing. I’m 32, while not being considered young anymore, I at least understand that the the ipod toting youth of today operate in social circles of a different kind. From computers to cell phones younger generations seek out their desired peer groups in much different ways. Remeber Bill, it was the non iPod wearing bastards like you who created jihadist and terrorists in the first place!

Oh, no. I am having FUN!
(You’ll find that one of the halmarks of a neocon-nut-who-is-confused-and-thinks-they’re-“conservative” is thin-skein.
Another? Can’t admit when wrong.
Another you say? Not too articulate. (See Farly, above).
Ok. One more. Not too smart (See farly, above).
(This is not aimed at the trily intelligent and engaging conservative posters on this board, such as TowerTone, or maybe even Jerry T.- unless he has a “Michael Richards” problem).
Why are people trying to dig up bullshit about Olberman that is unrelated to what he says on the show?
Because: you have nothing else to stand on, and, the truth hurts.
…I have to wipe my ass with his opinion, as always. He’s just a hot, steamin’ turd folks, isn’t he?
I seriously thought Keith Olbermann died years ago. I mean, he hasn’t been on SportsCenter in what seems like forever. He’s lucky if he pulls 1/100th of the audience these days that he did back on ESPN. His 15 minutes were definitely up once he left there.
effwerd, that was hilarious!
JBR, try not to be a dimwit. Don’t you read my brilliant posts?
“… let’s examine the advent of Keith Olberman’s rise in the ratings, as people tune in…

See folks?
Babys.
don’t even make real arguments.
Or have the guts to post consistently in their own name.
So, “toilet paper”?
Does Olberman have good ratings? Or no?
Uuhmm
looks like he’s got a little over a third of Billy’s.
Thank you, TT.
At least you speak truthfully, and MODT IMPORTANTLY, HAVE THE GUTS TO POST UNDER YOUR OWN NAME.
(I will admit, however, that Olberman often reeks of sanctimoniousness).
I thought it was hash…
Nah, he’s to self-absorbed to be high.
Although, it might help….
I would guess that Jon Stewart kicks both of their asses in ratings…
Liberalism is a disgusting disease.
