Brown bears shit in the woods…Pope is Catholic…Chicago Bears will suck this year…Bill O’Reilly is an idjit.
You go get 'em Bill!
The first thing that struck me when I read this is how stupid it sounds. I may watch his show tonight to see just how he thinks this scheme is going to work.
The second was how much this sounds like a liberal college kid rant
“Big Oil”? “Unconscionable Profits”? salaries of CEO’s? “The Common Good!” It sounds like something out of Michael Moore or Ralph Nader. Bizarre.
Excellent!
Smithers, fire the Sunday staff.

“Drive right by” ? Seems to me it might be a bit more to the point to walk right by, or ride a bicycle right by, or, to really rub their noses in it, push the car right by.
Do you buy gas everyday?
No.
If you could not buy gas on Sunday, would you not be able to drive on Sunday?
No. I would fill up on Saturday.
If you could not buy gas on Sunday, would you not be able to drive on Monday?
No. I would by gas.
How would the gas company know there was a boycott?
Ah. This one’s good. I wonder if Bill really thinks that the total amount we spend on gas would go down.
I did see a call for a boycott of Exxon-Mobil specifically, which is at least not blatantly stupid. Of course, the author wanted to continue the boycott until the price of gas was equal to the price of crude…
LOL! Fucking Brilliant! 
Let’s see – if we don’t change the amount of driving we do, but just avoid buying gas on Sundays. . . the oil companies would pretty quickly notice that their revenues on Sunday dropped to nothing, but sales on the other six days of the week went up, with the overall amount of gasoline sold remaining the same. After this went on for a while, they might decide to just close the stations on Sunday, thereby saving money and actually increasing their profits.
Ummm… that was sort of the point of the joke, y’know…
There are obviously people out there who wouldn’t get it. At least one of them has a TV show.
Sounds like Mr. O’Reilly is unaware of a little website called Snopes.
Whether it’s to force them to donate to the relief or to lower prices, won’t work.
I’m glad somebody posted that. Thanks.
Of course, gas prices will eventually go down, though I’m not sure by how much. That’s just the nature of economics. Betcha O’Really takes credit for it.
A brief mention on NPR today about a congressional look at possible price-fixing in light of the record profits reported by Exxon-Mobil and Chevron, as well as a call for the POTUS to use the bully-pulpit for profit reduction and price rollback.
Exxxxxcccccellent!
Best prediction I’ve heard all week.
I actually like O’Reilly usually…but this is crap. This great ‘plan’ of his reeks…probably because of what orifice he pulled it out of. Whats funny to me is the posters in this thread who also think this is loony…and the reasons. Its…like the world has gone mad.

Wasn’t that already tried in the 1970s, during the oil embargo?
Given the success of O’Reilly’s last attempt at a boycott, I suspect that his real goal here is to make the oil companies richer. To wit, on 4-27-2003 O’Reilly claimed to have organized a massively successful boycott against France:
To which Media Matters discovered:
Hmm, I wonder if O’Reilly would be willing to organize a boycott of my business.
Mr. O’Reilly clearly speaks in support of the solidarity and unified economic action of the proletariat against the running dog jackals of the ruling class! We of the Revolutionary Action Cadre of the SDMB (Trotskyist) welcome this advance in his political conciousness! Sadly, we must note with caution that he is prone to occassional spasms of rationality, fleeting and insubstantial.
