O’Reilly Rejects Right-Wing Defense Of Big Oil's Profits

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

  • AesopSBX, on 08/05/2008, -0/+7Well this warrants a 6 hour cease fire on old Falaf...errr Mr. Orielly bashing. Or until the he says something completely ludicrous and offensive.
  • barblibrarian, on 08/05/2008, -0/+4Oh my God. I have to lie down. I agree with Bill O'Reilly on something. And he disagrees with Karl Rove! Oh man... where's my book of revelation...?
  • elisathon, on 08/05/2008, -0/+3Wow. It may be just populist pandering, or a hormonal surge, or that even Bill can't stand Rove, but that's fairly human of him.
  • inactive, on 08/05/2008, -0/+3Yeah, 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.
  • qdkk, on 08/06/2008, -0/+2"Or until he says something completely ludicrous and offensive"

    That won't take long.
  • duggtodeath, on 08/06/2008, -0/+1Yep, Hell has frozen over.
  • wynja, on 08/05/2008, -1/+2Can you say CANCELED? I knew you could.
  • jmpeagle, on 08/06/2008, -1/+2he'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.
  • nickcommie, on 08/06/2008, -1/+2"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.
  • kurtwinter, on 08/05/2008, -3/+3BillO's charm is that he never really appears to have completely swallowed the Kool-Aid. But why should we reward him for noting the ***** obvious?
