Denying that he, himself, is an “ideologue,” Bill O'Reilly pointed to several pictures of celebrities adorning the cover of AARP's magazine as evidence that the association is a “far-left organization”:

One of the covers O'Reilly pointed to as evidence of AARP's leftist tilt was Michael Douglas. In his AARP profile, Douglas discussed such “far-left” topics as “getting his own fresh start as a husband, father, and son,” his regrets about “absences” while juggling fatherhood early in his career, his son's incarceration related to drugs, staying fit at 65, and maintaining his career. On reprising his iconic role as Wall Street titan Gordan Gekko, Douglas discussed his own market losses during the financial crisis and opined that “capitalism is part of our system ... but it's not for the faint of heart.”

Another cover O'Reilly pointed to was Richard Gere, who in his AARP profile spoke of the realization that he had “so many years left, maybe, to accomplish something of value,” which he credited with his decision to launch a charity dedicated to social and cultural challenges -- including HIV/AIDS awareness -- and the struggle of balancing family, career, and charitable work.

Then again, it's likely Bill O'Reilly made up his mind about AARP supposedly being a “far-left organization” far before looking at the pictures on any magazine. In November 2009, O'Reilly declared that “there's no doubt” that AARP was a “left-wing organization.”
