He's always right wing, correct is a totally different matter.

Just because you nod your head in agreement does not make him less ridiculous.

Having a high rating proves all we need to know about the USA.

Bill O'Reilly is not right wing or left wing he's just an asshole.

He does a show, a bit if you will "hi I am Bill O'Reilly hero of the common man" but when you see him he is such a condescending pompous ass he is painful to watch.

His show is 98% about him too, it is all about Bill and people attacking Bill for being right or Bill looking out for the little guy or Bill's got a new book for kids. It should be called the Bill ego show the stupid vain fop.

The guy truly sucks.

BOR's show is the news equivalent to WWF. He puts some well-meaning sucker in the chair across from him where he plays with them like a cat does a mouse. Now, usually, this is enough for the most of the show, until the end where he makes some nasty comments to end things. He emerges victorious!

But, if someone actually starts making a valid point he gets really loud, rude and basically body slams them to the ground, not letting them get another word in edgewise.

This is why his show, and all of Fox news is so popular with the middle class working joes of america...it plays into their infotainment and reality TV show mentality under the thinnest veneer of news.

Hey Hawkcreek

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')his is the same Bill O'Reilly that claimed that anyone who protested against the war in Iraq was a traitor and should go to jail? Forget freedom of speech.

If you support Bill, you support Big Oil and if that is the case what the fu*k are you doing on a peak oil website.

[Bobbotov]

If you are old enough to remember Joe Pyne he was one of the same type of biased talk show hosts as BOR except he did it about thirty years ago. I remember one incident when Joe Pyne had Frank Zappa on. Joe was a war vet with a prosthetic leg and when he had Zappa on he said to him, "so, you have long hair. Are you a girl?"

To this the genius Zappa said back at him, "so, you have a wooden leg. Are you a table?"

If Joe Pyne is a table then Bill O' Reilly is a barstool.

O'Reilly is probably the master of all the spindoctors out there, he should be in politics (he probably will someday). He's entertraining because of his big mouth.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '1')6 Feb 2001 On The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly declares: "You know, I don't take Saddam Hussein all that seriously anymore as far as a world threat. Maybe I'm wrong and naive here. Should we be very frightened of this guy?"

17 Sep 2001 On The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly urges immediate bombing strikes against Iraq: "Their infrastructure must be destroyed and the population made to endure yet another round of intense pain... Maybe then the people there will finally overthrow Saddam."

16 Dec 2002 On The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly declares: "I can't, in good conscience, tell the American people that I know for sure that he (Saddam Hussein) has smallpox or anthrax or he's got nuclear or chemical and that he is ready to use that."

19 Mar 2003 Bill O'Reilly declares on Good Morning America: "And I said on my program, if -- if the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush administration again. All right? But I'm giving my government the benefit of the doubt."

22 May 2003 On The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly declares: "The bad news for President Bush comes on the weapons of mass destruction front... The U.S. has captured enough scientists like Dr. Germ and Ms. Anthrax, or whomever, to get a picture of what Saddam Hussein had or didn't have. The Bush administration needs to begin explaining the situation. Talking Points understands time is needed, but the right wing spin that Saddam was a deadly weapon himself isn't going to cut it here. The American people must have honest, accurate intelligence in a world this dangerous. This is a vital issue that we hope will be candidly addressed by the President and soon."

9 Jul 2003 On The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly declares: "If Bush lied -- if he lied -- I'll be the first one to hang him, OK?"

11 Jul 2003 On The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly declares: "President Bush cherry-picked intelligence that pointed to WMDs inside Iraq. Now he's got some explaining to do. The anti-Bush zealots, of course, don't want to hear any explanations. They've already convicted Bush of lying. This is, of course, irresponsible. It is possible the President did lie, but most of the credible evidence points to wishful thinking on WMDs, rather than outright deception."

28 Jul 2003 In a opinion piece, Bill O'Reilly writes: "The Bush administration better find Saddam, Osama bin Laden and Mullah Mohammed Omar and it better explain the WMD situation. If it does not, history and the American people will render judgment, and it will most likely not be kind."

8 Sep 2003 In his syndicated column, Bill O'Reilly writes: "All Americans, but particularly those families who have lost soldiers in Iraq, deserve to be kept appraised of the WMD investigation. Fair-minded Americans will accept mistakes if they are made honestly, but there is no excuse for an information blackout on this important issue."

24 Sep 2003 While interviewing National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice On The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly declares: "Last March, I stuck up for you guys. After Colin Powell went to the United Nations -- and I said on Good Morning America that I believed that we were right to go to war, the United States, based upon weapons of mass destruction and the danger that Saddam posed. And I also said to Good Morning America: if the weapons found to be bogus, I'd have to apologize for my stance. Do I have to apologize?" Rice says no, but offers no specific evidence for the existence of WMDs in Iraq.

24 Oct 2003 On The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly declares: "It looks like President Bush, President Clinton before him, and other powerful Congresspeople were simply given erroneous information by the CIA and other intelligence outlets. We need to know why that happened. George Tenet should get a full hearing. But if his explanations aren't compelling, he should be asked to resign... We need to know exactly why the Iraq situation is so screwed up.

5 Feb 2004 On The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly declares: "You know, I could do soundbite after soundbite after soundbite of very, very influential people including Bill Clinton, and Richard Gephardt, and Ari Fleischer, and Condoleezza Rice, and on and on and on, all saying, 'Hey, they're there. Those weapons of mass destruction are there.' And they weren't. Or, they aren't. [...] A war was predicated at least partly on weapons of mass destruction that do not exist at this juncture. Perhaps we'll all be surprised."

Bill O'Reilly annoys me. One of the things that really annoys me is how he has been on a crusade against the oil companies for gouging. He doesn't understand that this is how the free market works! He dismissed the concept that the price of oil and gasoline is set by futures traders on mercantile exchanges as "ridiculous", even though that's exactly how it works!

Tonight, in the Factor Follow Up segment, he will discuss the record profits made by the oil companies. His guest will be Dr. Dean Baker, from the Center for Economic and Policy Research. Even though I don't like O'Reilly, I will watch the segment so I can laugh at what he says!

I listen to the talk show guys all day- especially the righties so I can know how they think. I don't know why O Reilly doesn't see it except that he's on a tirade for the "common man"- one of his usual annoying faux campaigns against evil in our midst.

Today was interesting because someone called in to progressive Ed Shulz' show and spoke for about two minutes about Peak Oil. Shulz replied back, but I thought this problem had to do with a lack of refining capacity. The caller tried to educate him but it sounded like Shulz didn't get it or was getting bored and ended the call without comment.

I love listening to these guys because they seem to carry the emotional tenor of America. If they get switched on to something like Peak Oil, the whole nation will be talking about it. So far, no one's biting, not even righties trying to refute it.
