Bill O Reilly will probably claim that a group of people affiliated with one candidate are actively sabotaging him on amazon by giving him terrible one star ratings. That allegation may or may not be true as far as any of us know.

The idea may or may not have been birthed here.

Change the thread title. You yourself said "May or may not" but your thread title explicity states "our".

This is called blowback. Of course what he got was also blowback, but he owns a microphone.

Billy O just said his book was "under fire from the forces of darkness".

What. An. Idiot.

Read the reviews and learn something Bill.

Sounds like deliberate misinformation. O'Reilly is anything but a source of enlightenment.

I wonder if he's going to bring up the historian at ford's theater that won't sell it because of factual inaccuracy.

This is good. Maybe tonight some of those people watching his show will go over to Amazon.com to check out the book and learn something about the real Lincoln.


Also found it hilarious that Oreilly accuses others in the media of just lying at will after he spouted off this whopper:

He's giving HIMSELF more publicity.

But he's also getting people to go to Amazon and read comments. Anything good there about Ron Paul?

For those who missed it, he indirectly referenced the attack, saying something like "all the sniping in the world isn't going to change the fact that people want to read my book"

As for readers, Amazon.com counts 1,133 customer reviews of O’Reilly’s book as of Monday afternoon, with 845 rating it worthy of just one star and many commenting that it is riddled with historical inaccuracies. Only 180 shoppers give the book a five star review. It appears that at least some of the negative reviews on Amazon are being ginned up by supporters of Ron Paul on the Web who are encouraging the “Amazon blowback” because of an unrelated dispute with the Fox host.

I forget the source but someone reported that the book was inaccurate & Bill was dismissing the claim.

Well, I, for one, am happy to be considered an "enemy" of Bill O'Reilly.

The man is a scoundrel.

If you have no enemies, it is because you've never stood up for something.

Just delete this thread, Bill is an entertainment professional and views bad press as good press. He is from the same stock that any attention is good attention

As much as I love this, deleting this thread may be a good idea.
