O'Reilly tells Bachmann "both you and Sarah Palin are good-looking women" who "drive the far left crazy"

From the October 7 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:

Fortunately, I see myself as an individual more than a member of any voting bloc,and I understand a lot of GOP voting psychology from seeing it close-up.
The GOP promotes distribution of wealth and power to a very small group, this group is almost exclusively old, white and male. Somehow, they're able to convince millions of white men who are not in this elite group to vote based on the idea that they could be.
I think it's hard to use that sort of identity politics with groups who are more obviously excluded.While the GOP may not give a funk about the majority of Americans, they are able to fool many of them by merely having spokespeople who are the same color and sex as the white male voter, and so are able to garner some votes based almost entirely on Identity POlitics.
You'd make a good pet.
I'd also suggest going over some past MMFA items on the subject, especially the comments.
What a ridiculous premise. Does that mean that since I'm a white man, I can't possibly act like an individual, since my demographic is split pretty evenly? But black people and women can be individuals because their groups skew harder to one side of the political spectrum?
I hope you didn't spend to much time brainstorming on this little theory.
I did not have to be a lefty to get to that conclusion.
A (former?) porn star, Stormy Daniels is better looking than Palin (or Bachmann) and is vying for public office.
I sincerely do not believe that Stormy's left/right affiliation would drive me crazy.
Dats da bunnie!
OT has Bachmann been into Beck's vaporub stash? she looks like she's about ready to unleash the flood waters.
First off, I haven't heard one liberal go after Bachmann or Palin because of their looks. They go after these two because they want to turn the clock back fifty years, to the era of segregation and back-alley, coat-hanger abortions, when women "knew their place". Bachmann and Palin are just as bad as any male-chauvinist pig, and the only ones bringing up their looks are conservatives! Liberals could care less! And secondly, beauty is a matter of opinion. What could be good-looking to some might not be so good-looking to others, and not everyone finds Bachmann and Palin so attractive. Even a shallow jerk like O'Reilly should know that (and personally, I think Bachmann looks terrible. As for Palin, I find her rather plain and bland-looking).
i think we've uncovered bill's new fantasy/fetish... illiterate female politicians.
and all this time i thought he digs female producers who work for him... and yet, he continues to turn the tricks on us.
Same with Palin, just bland, artificial -wholesome look to me. Not pretty or ugly, just "zero". I think I met enough of those empty-shell girls growing up in a conservative area. Inferior products often rely on shiny packaging.
But what is BilldO's point anyway? That women all vote (D), and he thinks Palin & Bachmann are moving votes to the (R)'s simply because they're women who have kids? And this somehow "drives the left crazy"?
Once again, the wingnuts try to analyze other people based on their own limitations and shallow views.
Go ahead, GOP, put these two on your ticket. Throw in Michael Steele and Bobby Jindal for cabinet positions, maybe the dark-skinned folk will automatically vote for them, if your logic works. And Lieberman, get him in, he should lock in the Jewish vote, squeeze him in there someplace.
Drive me crazy, GOP. Make my day. ha.
Bill has a twisted mind if he thinks beauty is driving the "left crazy". That means Bill overlook the stupid stuff that comes out of their mouth.
Maybe it is lust that drive Bill to think these harlots are something more than boneheads.
We're kinda weird that way.
By extension, I guess this means that O'Reilly never becomes unhappy when he thinks someone or some group tells lies about him? I guess he must really love "the far left" and groups like Media Matters? Otherwise he would be a complete hyporcrite.
Even Stevie Wonder, Jose feliciano, and Ronnie Milsap can see that Michele Bachman and Caribou Barbie are ugly women - clear to the bone.
It's is mind-boggling to most people with a functioning brain that anyone could elect them for anything ...even the PTA!!!!
