thinkprogress.org — The new right-wing big oil meme was too much even for Bill O’Reilly, who said that Big Oil should “donate 2 percent of their profits for the last four quarters to a fund that would help struggling Americans pay their heating bills.” O’Reilly also contacted the top five corporations, who were only “lukewarm” to his idea

Yeah, he always seems like he knows he's being a lying scumbag, but he does it anyway.Personally I think that's worse than actually believing that crap.

"We're going to help you, because we love Americans, and we want Americans to be warm."Yes, Bill, and yet you embrace the free market and capitalism? Because I really don't think that's what big oil is thinking. I think they're thinking, "we're going to help ourselves, because we love money, and we want American's money."And for the record, I think asking for two percent is the least they could do. If we had a socialist or a social democrat in office, we could demand 20-30 percent, since everyone knows they're screwing everyone else over.

he's a right wing populist...what do you expect. He's all about protectionism, anti-immigration, jingoism, and christian hegemony. This is exactly what I would expect from him and it's why he is such a right wing populist tool.
