i suspect you did not even watch the clip b/c you obviously dont know what you are talking about. on TWO seperate occasions o'reilly brought up this malmedy incident and spoke with absolute certianty about it, saying malmady was documented fact. couple this with his comments inviting al-queda to attack san francisco and blow up coit towers, which serves as a memorial to the firefigthers of that city. not to mention the guy is a sex pervert - aside from dirty phone calls to interns, has anyone seen his "novel" about crack smoking pimps having sex with 15 year old girls. "hey baby put down that pipe and come pick this one up" is one of the great lines of prose from this defender of family values.
ahh, here we go. get your copy here gwayneco! when they make this masterpiece into a motion picture im hoping scott stapp does the soundtrack. Both main characters are thinly veiled versions of O'Reilly himself. The protagonist is Tom O'Malley, a tough-talking Irish-American detective from Levittown, Long Island (O'Reilly's hometown). Our antagonist, a deranged killer, is Shannon Michaels, a tough-talking news broadcaster who enjoys telling it like it is and making enemies. Michaels starts his career as a foreign correspondent for a big TV network and gets sidelined to a lesser TV gig. (O'Reilly reported overseas for ABC News before heading to the tabloid show "Inside Edition.") With O'Reilly's personality divided between good and evil, the cat-and-mouse game -- detective vs. killer -- begins. "Out of confusion and chaos, Ashley Van Buren had found clarity and happiness. And, as she wrapped her slender arms around Tommy's thick neck, she hoped those new feelings would deepen and last forever." For his part, O'Malley "was naked and at attention." http://www.ledgeofliberty.com/2004/07/those_who_tresp.html AUDIO CLIP OF PAPA-BEAR READING FROM HIS DIRTY BOOK - AWESOME! Stripping off her bathing-suit, she walked into the huge shower. She pulled the lime green curtain across the entrance and then set the water for a tepid 75-degrees. The spray felt great against her skin as she ducked her head underneath the nozzle. Closing her eyes she concentrated on the tingling sensation of water flowing against her body. Suddenly another sensation entered, Ashley felt two large hands wrap themselves around her breasts and hot breathe on the back of her neck. She opened her eyes wide and giggled, "I thought you drowned out there snorkel man." Tommy O'Malley was naked and at attention. "Drowning is not an option", he said, "unless of course you beg me to perform unnatural acts – right here in this shower." -Those Who Trespass, Bill O’Reilly SNORKEL MAN!!! and he twice refers to an errection as being "at attention"!
http://shows.airamericaradio.com/alfrankenshow/node/2798 O'REILLY: AWESOME AUTHOR by Eric Hananoki on June 8, 2005 - 11:25am. Another passage (no devious motivation -- I just believe O'Reilly is a masterful novelist) from Bill O'Reilly's steamy novel, Those Who Trespass. NSFW! Robo used his “product” only occasionally, but tonight was special. He had two fifteen-year-old girls who would do anything for the drug,, and he was determined to exploit the situation. “Say, baby, put that pipe down and get my pipe up,” Robo said to one of the girls. She was so intoxicated she had trouble standing, but Robo was her sugar daddy, and as he sat in a filthy, imitation, leather couch, there in the living room of a run-down three-bedroom apartment, she obediently performed oral sex on him. Five feet away, the other teenage girl sat on a mattress on the floor and watched, greedily sucking on the crack pipe Robo had passed to her. Edgar looked over and grinned, showing yellow, decaying teeth. Obviously, he preferred oral sex to oral hygiene. “You’re next, girl, and I want you to do her too,” he ordered. As Robo took the crack pipe back the girl groggily nodded her consent. Inhaling deeply, Robo blew the cocaine smoke out through his nose and mouth. The bitter taste left him feeling powerful, energized, and free of worry. He was bad and he was flush.
If he misspoke, he wouldn't have made the same mistake for a second time. He should have apologized and moved on. Instead he tried to cover it, and his 'News' agency altered the transcripts and tried to rewrite the history of it. Since you continue to argue that it was a misstake despite the fact that Bill did it more than once, I can only presume that you argue from a point of ignorance and did not watch the clip. Bill's specific example slandered U.S. soldiers who fought in WWII. I will continue to speak up for the good name, and reputation of those soldiers who died after surrendering, and being gunned down, and having their heads bashed by the SS while they were unarmed and holding their hands up. It shows where your priorities are. They aren't on supporting the troops, they are on supporting those that agree with your viewpoint, and going after those that don't. You have been exposed. I hope that you will rethink your priorities and support. I really do. Nobody, including Olberman, was arguing against Bill's larger point that the U.S. did commit some atrocities. That doesn't excuse slander against U.S. troops who were illegally slaughtered by the Nazis. To accuse those victims of doing the slaughtering is rotten, and to not apologize for it, shows Bill also puts things above supporting the troops.
That doesn't explain the transcripts Fox News edited. A journalist usually gives retractions for their errors. I don't get why this or the Colbert thread became BFDs.
The trenches are too deep. It's preaching to the choir. To me it seems that Bush and O' Reilly's declining popularity doesn't come from these undeniable glimpses of hypocrisy but rather from other scandals such as O' Reilly's sexual escapades or Bush's horrible overall track record. Their bases enjoy the jingoism and Decider-making (it's something you can drink...) so they take the glimpses as exceptions rather than the rule.
the o'reilly love is interesting. i think for old people he is like a comfy blanket that you can snuggle up with. they like o'reilly the character, even if they dont agree with what he is saying. take my grandparents for example - they watch the guy every day. they both supported bush up until a couple years ago and now even my 85 year old grandpa who is career airforce, served in WWII, korea and vietnam thinks he should be impeached and locked up. but they still love their factor.
The bodies of 81 American soldiers from Battery B of the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion, killed by Waffen SS troops, Dec. 17, 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge near the Belgian town of Malmedy. (Photo credit: U.S. Army) Hard to misspeak about this...harder still to not fess up to an error... and again, didn't Joe McCarthy defend the Nazis and argue for reduced sentences... the same Joe McCarthy the radical right is trying to rehabilitate... And now BO makes a "mistake" not once but twice, alters transcripts and never really apologizes. Hmmm.
Sorry, man. My response wasn't in concordance with the video of the thread. I just watch Olberman nightly and can't understand how the guy got on TV. His ENTIRE show is dedicated to hating on O'Reilly. He's like the Texas A&M of TV hosts. You don't even have to like O'Reilly to notice it. With regards to the video, I didn't watch yet because I clicked the last page of the thread and picked it up mid-argument. I'll go back and watch though. EDIT: Although, I haven't seen EVERY episode of Olberman, I've never seen a terrorist as his "Worst Person in the World." However, I have seen O'Reilly, Malkin, Coulter each be named WPIW multiple times. Regardless of how you feel about these people how many of you would give them the label of WPIW?
Me!!! They claim to be looking out for Americans when they are definitely not. If you're not for them, you're against them. Maybe WPIW is too strong. I would call them Biggest Lying Hypocritical POS's. So by your inference, Olberman doesn't think the terrorists are bad people. Isn't it a given that most of the people in this country think that terrorists are scum. Why does he keep hating on whoever??? I guess Hannity,Rush,O'Reilly and Coulter don't hate. Puhleeeze, if you don't like it don't watch.
I see what you are saying, but Worst Person in the World is joke, and isn't supposed to be serious. Wouldn't OBL be the WPITW all the time? I thought it was assumed that he didn't really think these folks were the real worst person in the world. Just that they did something rotton. I don't have a problem if folks don't enjoy Keith's show. But to defend Bill in this instance is troublesome. I understand that you weren't referring to this particular incident as I had originally thought.
surely you jest. if you can't comprehend satirical comedy - which is exactly what that bit is - then i dont know what to say. honestly. i mean, seriously. are people this dense??? and you want people to take your opinions seriously??? good luck.
I can't believe people watch either one of these blowhards. Reminds me of the Al Franken vs. Bill O'Reilly nonsense a few years ago. I still think they were both working together in an effort to help their book sales/ratings and both laughing all the way to the bank.
I know it's supposed to be a joke so I don't take it TOO seriously but on one episode Coulter beat out a suicide terrorist. I kid you not. That just kinda got under my skin (which I guess is half of his aim). O'Reilly is also the same type as Olberman. I watch both and find that I like O'Reilly better not because I agree with him but because I find his show funnier. O'Reilly says tons of dumb things (such as his new Boycott Exxon campaign and his past Save Easter campaign). I just respect his show more because he doesn't make his entire living making fun of one other person while pretending to deliver the news. It's not satirical comedy if it's not funny. Who exactly is he satiring? Olberman runs a NEWS show. He's not Steven Colbert (who has a show on COMEDY central).
Umm...first of all, I never said that I agreed with all of those people so I don't know who you are debating here. Just said that if you have one of them beat out a terrorist for WPIW you're kind of a DB. Also, I can stand to watch people with a different viewpoint. I didn't start this thread I just put in my 2 cents, like you (except I do it in paragraph form).
