the only way they’re more “conservative,” O’Reilly at least (dunno enough about Buchanan there) is on the economic front.

Yes and no. Real economic conservatism requires one to be pro-free trade, and Buchanan hates the browns too much for that.

I thought the official anti-feminist line was that there was no patriarchy. I guess Bill did not get that memo.

I guess the argument is going to be like global warming: there is no patriarchy, if there is, it’s not a big deal and if it is a big deal and bunch of people get hurt, there is not anything we can do about it after all it is a naturally occuring phenomenon.

Lesley, you hit it in one. The hilarious thing about “race” is that we’re always changing our mind about who’s inferior and who’s okay.

Yup. Him and Buchanan both. they’re populists the way the (Godwin alert, yes, but in this case appropriate) National Socialists were. the only way they’re more “conservative,” O’Reilly at least (dunno enough about Buchanan there) is on the economic front.

He himself describes his politics as “populist,” but IMHO, he’s a real, live fascist.

Agreed.

This is a quibble, but “conservative” isn’t really the right word for O’Reilly–even moreso than most politicians who get labeled that way. He himself describes his politics as “populist,” but IMHO, he’s a real, live fascist.

QLH–

Yeah, this was O’Reilly’s annual admission that white Christian men are still in charge. Now for the next 364 days, he’ll go back to whining about how white Christian men are oppressed in America.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Rupert Murdoch will burn in hell for putting this pig on the air.
