I'm also not sure where Bingo ever says he's the president of O'Reilly's fanclub. I think he's made his view on him pretty clear: he watches him for entertainment value and from time to time likely agrees with things he says. It's pretty sad if agreeing with the odd comment people make brands you as a worshipper of them and results in getting insulted.
Constructive debate and discussion is something I find interesting and like to participate in because I gain different viewpoints and knowledge. When the discussion breaks down to name calling, I have no use for it.

Thanks man.
Nice to see someone actually read what I say and respond to that, leaving what they either want to hear or what they think would be helpful to their argument somehow becoming a position of mine.
And Lanny ... never debated that O'Reilly leans right, no doubt about it. But for a guy on the left to just state matter of fact where the middle sits is someone disingenuous in my mind. I lean somewhat right and likely find bias and leanings in things on the left that you simply don't see, and you likely sit to the left and see things that are biased on the right when I miss them.
And once again ... nice hero comment. I know your style so it doesn't surprise me. I've been very straight forward on the O'Reilly thing so I guess you have to resort to putting words in my mouth or grandstanding to prove a point. For a guy as up and down as you, my calm demeanour must drive you nuts.
