Conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly has been doing his part to try and assist Sen. John McCain's bid for the presidency to serve out the next term (or two) of the Bush-Cheney administration. One thing that O'Reilly has talked little about (as has been pointed out by the Web site o'reilly-sucks.com) is that our arrogant commentator has totally avoided the presidential candidacy of former Republican Party man Bob Barr, who is running for the Libetarian Party. O'Reilly, as this Web site points out, is worried that Barr could pick McCain's pocket of votes and helped tip the election scales in the favor of Sen. Barack Obama. So, instead of being a reputable news person (obviously not since he is spending so much time on the Obama Chronicles while giving McCain's shady past a free pass ... among other journalistic atrocities) and being fair and balanced with his coverage, he continues to ignore Barr for fear he could hurt the Republican Party in the general election. Here is an excerpt from the piece: "So as you can see O'Reilly knows that Barr is taking 3 percent of McCain's vote, and you know he has seen these polls and he refuses to have Barr on the factor, and refuses to even mention his name, because any media attention he gets will help him get more votes, and those votes will be from McCain voters. What's funny is when Ralph Nader ran in 2004 O'Reilly mentioned him all the time and even had him on the show as a guest, because he was a liberal who would take votes away from Kerry."
