He has completed a survey on the Republican field in which Mike Huckabee prevailed over Giuliani and Romney. Now it&#8217;s the Democrats turn. The poll includes only Clinton, Obama and Edwards.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, this poll will have absolutely no significance to any campaign and will be illustrative of nothing but O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s monstrously disturbed ego. But that doesn&#8217;t mean we can&#8217;t have a little fun with it anyway. After all, it&#8217;s not as if we would be violating any of BillO&#8217;s journalistic standards:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2188\/2087801556_7667d4598b.jpg?v=0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Throughout the past year, The Fester has been hammering John Edwards as a phony who has sold his soul to the far left. O&#8217;Reilly is apoplectic in his ravings about how Edwards is intent on destroying America. I wrote about the media <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=456\" target=\"_blank\">Ganging Up On Edwards<\/a> last June and it has only intensified since then. For more detail, check out this brand new video from <a href=\"http:\/\/foxattacks.com\/blog\/22158-fox-attacks-edwards-and-obama\" target=\"_blank\">Brave New Films<\/a> that also features Fox News&#8217; attacks on Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<p>Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to venture to the Forbidden Zone itself and vote for John Edwards. Vote for Edwards whether or not he is the candidate you are supporting. An Edwards victory could be just the thing to send O&#8217;Reilly over the edge of the precipice upon which he has been teetering for so long.<\/p>\n<p>The poll is on the front page of BillOReilly.com. I would suggest that you go to Google, or some other neutral site, and type the URL in from there so that O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s web minions don&#8217;t get curious about a lot of voters coming from this site.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how O&#8217;Reilly will handle the announcement of an Edwards victory provided by the visitors to his own web domain. He said that he will be announcing the poll results on Thursday (tomorrow), so waste no time in placing your vote. And feel free to enlist your friends and family. We may all finally get to see that vein on his forehead burst.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t think of a better <em>Holiday<\/em> gift than getting to stick it to The Fester one more time before the new year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> Poll results: Obama &#8211; 58 \/ Edwards &#8211; 27 \/ Clinton &#8211; 15.<br \/>\nSecond place aint too shabby for Edwards on O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s show where he is bashed incessantly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill O&#8217;Reilly is currently polling his audience on the presidential candidates.
