"If you weren't a lunatic, ninety percent of America would agree with you," O'Reilly said. O'Reilly claimed that the majority of Americans and Democrats do not support withdrawal, and targeting Democrats before they even have had a chance to address anything didn't make sense. The pundit also argued that "far left" activists must believe that Americans are "stupid" since they voted for Bush in two elections. "If the country was the way you were portraying it, you'd be in Guantanamo," O'Reilly told World Can't Wait's Sunsara Taylor. Clip from O'Reilly show:
Bill O'Reilly invited a member of the anti-war activist group World Can't Wait on to his show to discuss why a Democratic press conference had been disrupted on Wednesday, but after arguing about "facts" as opposed to "opinions" the Fox News Channel host called his guest a lunatic.

Ok, I'll play the Devil's Advocate here. Bill O'Reilly could have been even more nasty to Ms.Sunsara Taylor than he was. The anti-war groups do not have main stream middle America as members. Nevermind her out there flower child first name, Ms. Taylor herself writes for Revolution newspaper ( left of socialist). If you google Ms. Taylor's name one of the first things that pops out is her message to others to gather for a Black Panther meeting. Bill O'Reilly is a POS and his words are all scripted neocon rhetoric but he's got a suit on and he earns millions of dollars each year. If he were not such a prick and a liar, many middle aged middle class Americans would identify with him more so than Ms. Sunsara Taylor. I'm giving everyone the cold hard facts. And Cindy Sheehan as well spoken as she is dresses poorly and looks out there as well. Plus she is a distinct minority of military mothers speaking out against the war. Most military parents are pro Bush and pro the Iraq War. You can read their comments in Free Republic - if they don't have sons in the war, they have nephews or cousins or sons-in-law. Furthermore, many Americans see new recruits signing up even though a war based on lies is raging and they shrug and think to themselves - well, the kids and their parents must know what they're getting into - who am I to stop them... So that's why Bill O can truthfully say Ms. Taylor and her members do not represent Americans.

youre right.. that is why he chose her to be on his show.. He'd NEVER have chosen anyone that truthfully did represent most Americans against the war.. it would have undermined what he was trying to do.. label anyone .. even the average American.. as the list I gave...
That is exactly WHY people like this are presented to mainstream America as "representative" of those opposed to the war...I am opposed to the war, but I wouldn't want ANYONE to think these guys/gals are part of my circle...ye gads! That is why you will NEVER see an articulate, well-dressed/groomed spokesman for the "anti-war" faction presented on television...it will always be some 'flower child' named 'Blueberry' or 'Sunshine'. Remember the idiot dressed up like a pink condom with a peace symbol painted on his chest on the Golden Gate Bridge the other day? You do your cause a great deal of damage by acting and/or looking like a frickin' clown...that's just the way it is.
O'Reilly get the fringe because he's the fringe.
