For the record, both Spanish language campaign ads contained lies

Bill O'Reilly addressed the issue of the recent campaign ads directed at spanish speaking voters by both candidates on his radio program today. He pointed out several lies in both the McCain and the Obama ads. His analysis was that both candidates said exactly what they thought those people wanted to hear and that both candidates insulted their intelligence in doing so.
So, it looks like this one was a tie.

I wish more political commentators would point out the flaws of both sides. This would give an honest third party more of a chance.

Ummm... the following statement is not meant to hurt anyone's feelings. As a human being, I am convinced it is my duty to at least mention the following when people speak favorably about Bill-O.
He's an idiot.
He's abusive to his staff and guests.
He's a hypocrite.
He's more interested in sharing what he's learned from his 'word of the day' calendar than he is in actually learning anything important.
He's willfully ignorant.
He couldn't argue his way out of a paper bag... thus the numerous "shut up"s over the years.
He is a slave to the conservative identity he profits from, but barely understands.
Again, he's an idiot.
Please reconsider using Bill-O as a source of any political information. Also, for your own sake, refrain from siting Bill-O in arguments. It really doesn't make anyone seem smart, or informed, or even logical.

I listen to conservative radio too, just to get both sides. I'm a registered Democrat and I will be voting for Obama. The conservative radio programs, some more than others, shock me with their extremist views. I try really hard to listen to them though!

I will also be voting for Obama.... which says something because I listen to Hannity, Glen Beck, Lars Larson, all those guys. They are so driven by party (and career) loyalty I can't trust what they say.
Lately I just listen to conservative radio because they ARE extremists and they frighten me. I have to know how crazy things are getting on the right.

Well, I tried to help you.
"THIS TIME" he has standards?
Look, you can't have a standard to seek the truth and then use "shut up" to turn off a conversation when it doesn't accommodate your agenda.
I listen to conservative radio A LOT. I'm not republican or a democrat. I just want to know both sides of a story. I never watch Bill because he's never understood that he is not the story. His approach to political commentary make Hannity look like a reliable source of information.

I haven't seen the spanish commercials yet, I'm sure they are coming 
Bill is a jerk but sometimes he does try to be less bias then the other screamers.

That's the only reason I listen to his radio show at lunch. He's a bit of a blowhard but he's worked hard to give everyone a fair shake, to verify or dispute the rumors and, recently to help his listeners understand what was happening on Wall Street and why.

If anyone can spot a lie, it's a liar Of course they lied and said what the people wanted to hear, that's what politicians always do! O'Reilly is a bonehead who has about as much sense as a toothpick

He may be a bonehead...and obnoxious to boot...but he does try to get to the bottom of things.

I really really dislike O'Reilly avoid him. But in this case I will have to take a look.
Thanks
