[greengringo2003]

Yo Ho! Good Ol' Pervy Dave in action again! Fresh off the upstair sex with the willing girls on his staff! Hey, Dave! Ya cain't be Slick Willy Clinton! Ya ain't got da junk fer dat! Heh, heh, heh! C'mon, ol' Pervy Dave! One more set of fake laffs for the morons in the audience!!

[anwar1994]

O'Reilly comes off more level headed when compared to Olbermann these days. That's a a sad statement on many levels.

[damienz007]

fucck bill o´reilly

[qbadge3]

bill o'reilly walked out to "you want a piece of me" by Britney Spears

[YouDickwod]

LOL

[skuterixas91]

@qbadge3

100xtimes better cover of that song though

[KipXtReme]

i actually think o reilly is a good person he just cant control his temper on his own show ending up hurtin lots of feelings

[lemmywinks88]

O'Reilly is quite entertaining when hes not on his own show.

[LudwigZhi]

@lemmywinks88 Couldn't agree more! I guess when he is put in a position to answer questions, he has a chance to convey the thoughts in their ENTIRETY. And that's something he never does in his show. He doesn't let his interviewees finish, and he doesn't finish his own points either.

[RealTime88]

@lemmywinks88 Yes news anchors with a sense of humor is awesome. I actually have most of his books. Bill is a bright guy and a talented writer.

[ucntcit]

debates on television caricatures speak highly of the level of discourse taking place in the united states. stunning.

[SmizAnL4Me]

bill is certainly not my favorite, but he's hardly the devil people make him out to be.

[rynigma8]

david letterman is a sad man

[othj]

He doesn't pander, he's just a waste of time.

[sverrir48]

Haha, Britney Spears' Piece of Me. Paul Schafer kicks ass.

[greenorangeviolet]

holy shit i love him!!

[hdhobbs]

Dubya huh? How catchy . Saying Obama couldnt screw up the country worse is like having something bad happen and then turning around and saying well it least it cant get worse. Usually at that point things actually do get worse. In the tough times ahead of this GREAT country we need experince to lead the way not just a guy who gives a good speach. Not some one who wil vote present but will actually be present.

[PalaniRides]

hdhobbs:

Well, can it get any worse than this? How? Have you seen what the debt is now, which we are passing on to our great grandchildren? Have you noticed we're still entangled in that quagmire in Iraq?Have you noticed that this country, along with the rest of the world is in a recession?

Given all the aforementioned issues and more, I would not want to face that mile high pile of shit as an incoming president, but worse, I would not continue the "borrow and spend" McCain proposes.

Obama '08!

[shallbeagain]

I like O'Reilly as well but he shouldn't say his show on fox is fair and balanced,thats lies.

For about 3 or 4 nights in a row he started the factor by Telling everybody how McCain can win the election and how people shouldn't vote on emotion, because Obama was far ahead in most polls.If McCain was ahead he wouldn't be saying anything of the sort.

[PalaniRides]

Shall:

Yes, he constantly talks about what McCain should do to beat Obama since both became the candidates of their parties. Almost every show lately has had something to do with helping McCain win states, and thus the presidency.

Republicans get entire segments dedicated to helping their candidates, while Democrats are simply a footnote. When has this "Independent,non-partisan" tinhorn screamed and shouted at a Republican as he did Barney Frank, or spent time helping a Democrat win a race?

[nhenry87]

Freddy may and Bernie mac? lol? o dave.

[peptopro17]

hahahaha letterman's little girl voice impression is funny as hell

[kristishreds]

Very good and civil conversation. They BOTH came off very well and I am no Letterman fan but he was very respectful and held his own.

[WhatsAYak]

Def was...nice change of pace from O'Reilly's first 2 visits to Dave's show!

[PAYNE227]

Dave is a studdering fool. The reason he did not get Carson job was he has no class. I still dont know Johnnys political preference.Its over Dave,face it your old,not funny, the spark is gone, retire. ORielly is the man. Although this was one of Daves better interviews.

[WhatsAYak]

The reason Dave didn't get Carson's job was b/c NBC thought it made more sense for him to stay put @ 12:30 so they didn't have to replace TWO late night hosts (though it became a moot point when Dave left for CBS the following year).

[AriesLudzik]

O'Reilly is awesome because he doesn't put everything he says through filters. Just the straight goods - no BS.

That's why he's king of the tv ratings game.

[PalaniRides]

Aries:

If O'Reilly is really looking out for "da folks", why does he not go after a Republican as he did Barney Frank? Why doesn't he disparage and lie about a Republican as he has John Edwards several times? Why isn't he dispensing advice to Democrats as to how to win or keep their seats in Congress as he has Republicans?

It seems to me that an "Independent, Non-partisan", which he constantly claims to be, would have the "goods" on both parties. Where's the segment on Ted Stevens' conviction?

[AriesLudzik]

O'Reilly did come down quite hard on Chris Cox, a Republican, for failing to avoid this economic meltdown, but the key difference between Cox and Barney Frank is that Frank never owned up to his incompetence like a real man would have done. Frank was supposed to oversee this mess BEFORE it blew up into a full-scale crisis, but he failed,...as did Dodd, Pelosi, and Rangel.

O'Reilly is an unabashed conservative, but that does not make him a Republican.

[PalaniRides]

Aries:

O'Reilly would mention Cox's name, but rarely did he attach a party to him, even when showing a picture of him.When has O'Reilly provided specifics on Cox?

How did Cox "own up" to his mistakes? What did Cox do to give him a pass?

Watch the O'Reilly/Frank segment again and tell me this wasn't a set-up by O'Reilly to use Frank as a scapegoat? It was a cowardly 3 1/2 minute ambush.

... Both Cox and Greenspan testified that FreMac and FanMae were not large factors in this economic meltdown.

[AriesLudzik]

The fact is that Democrats are more culpable than Republicans in this mortgage debacle -- when Republicans tried to regulate this lending mess at a hearing 2 years ago, Maxine Waters, a Democrat, said the following :

We were trying to fix something that wasnt broke. Mr. Chairman, we do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac and in particularly at Fannie Mae under the outstanding leadership of Mr. Frank Raines.

This is the most unreported fact of this entire fiasco because the media is corrupt!

[PalaniRides]

Aries:

What Republican tried to regulate this mess?! I want a name.

...Is this a Republican who also hails from the SAME Republican party whose mantra frequently is "GET THE GOVERNMENT OFF OUR BACKS!","Let the invisible hand of the Free Market do its thing", and "No" to almost any type of regulation???

I will not let one Democrat off the hook, but I'll be damned if you're going to pull an O'Reilly here and make it the fault of Democrats.

Again, what REPUBLICANS tried to REGULATE this mess ???

[AriesLudzik]

Even Bill Clinton admitted that Democrats were most opposed to efforts to reign in the loose lending practices that were beginning in the late '90s. The reason for this is quite reflective of each party's political ethos and therefore simple to understand -- the Democrats believe EVERYONE should own a house, even if they can't afford one, and Republicans are far more realistic, if not cynical about such false, pie-in-the-sky notions.

[PalaniRides]

Aries:

Don't divert this with Bill Clinton's name (Funny how you Righties can't stand him, but when you need him ...)

I WANT A NAME OF THE REPUBLICAN(S) WHO TRIED TO REIGN IN THIS MESS. Which Republican mentioned REGULATION ??? Direct me to a name and transcript that documents that the Republicans -- for the first time in this modern era -- talked of REGULATION.

You're spinning and dodging. I think you are pulling shit out of your ass, so I want names.

[AriesLudzik]

Something about you lefties that makes you want to bully people. Listen, put the thuggery aside for a moment, and face the bitter truth that Democrats are the ones who resisted Republican efforts to stop this insane policy of lending money to people who had no chance to pay it back. Republicans are a bit cowed right now because they don't want to appear insensitive to minorities, at whom these crazy loans were aimed, but history is on their side.

[PalaniRides]

Aries: "Bully" people??? You mean like O'Reilly did to Barney Frank, Jeremy Glick, Peace advocates, and on and on and on???

Since when do Republicans give a fuck how they appear to minorities? Republicans are lying low right now because they know they are knee deep in this mess and it would automatically, fair or unfair, reflect on the McCain campaign. WTF are you high on?

I called you out to name names of ONE Republican calling for regulation, and for that I'm a "bully"?

Back your shit up!

[AriesLudzik]

Name names ? Okay, here's a name : George W. Bush. There are also MANY other Republicans who have warned about the Democrats' looming sub-prime mortgage crisis and they've been stifled by people like Dodd and Frank. That's part of the historical record.

I can't do your homework for you. Do your OWN research - it's all there for anyone who wants to see it, but for partisans who can't see beyond the tip of their own nose, they never will quite get it.

[AriesLudzik]

What's amazing in this whole "mess" is that the media has been covering for Democrats the whole time. It was not Republicans but Democrats after all who chose to loosen the rules of lending so that minority home ownership would increase - noble goal except it was based on irrational economic thinking that we're ALL paying for right now.

If "journalists" had any personal honor, they would tell the truth that rats like Frank and Dodd and Rangel and Pelosi and Maxine Waters are most to blame here

[AriesLudzik]

In short, the success of O'Reilly lies in his courage to tell the truth and his refusal to go kid gloves on bad guys who cause trouble, like Barney Frank, whose boyfriend was a Fannie exec and was getting favorable legislation passed from his lover boy Barney.

Obama wasn't doing so badly either as this crisis unfolded - he was the 2nd highest recipient of Fannie contributions in the entire Congress.

Sorry, just the facts.

[PalaniRides]

Aries:

O'Reilly's success lies basically on the genius of Roger Ailes to tap into, and segue, that Right-wing talk radio angst onto TV and Fox News. The cowardly O'Reilly knows better than to EVER appear on pundit shows where his far rightwing ideology will be turned on its ear and actually challenged. Who can't do what he does (frame the issues and questions to favor the Right, talk over people, cut people off, edit controversial guests, send producers to ambush people)???

Some "journalist".

[AriesLudzik]

You disapprove of ambushing people ? Really ? Did you speak out when Michael Moore has made a living off doing this very thing in his "documentaries"? Did your liberal brethren ? Uhmmm,...no. Moore is the darling of people who think like you and oddly enough he surrounds himself with a dozen bodyguards to inoculate himself from precisely this very same kind of tactic. Interesting. But not surprising.

BTW, O'Reilly's greatness can also be explained by the fact that he does not pander.

[PalaniRides]

Aries: O'Reilly? Greatness? A documented liar, hypocrite, spinner, and highly partisan rightwing fraud is "great"? Why? Wow, you are delusional.How else could you throw stones from your glass house as you do? Why does O'Reilly grant so few interviews, and why are any interviews ladened with preconditions?

For your information, I don't approve of any type of ambush type of "gotcha" tactics, but at least Moore is man enough to conduct them himself. I guess O'Reilly is too busy harassing women.

[AriesLudzik]

O'Reilly does a noble service 5 days a week: he exposes bad guys. Nobody has held child rapists accountable more than O'Reilly - is is HE who has held these dirtbags up to public scrutiny and made them serve many decades in the slammer. He also exposes corrupt judges who let convicted felons walk free. The whole country owes O'Reilly a huge debt of gratitude !

Fraud? O'Reilly has never had to retract a single story and has never lost a court case.

Oh,and there's also the ratings - he's #1

[svahdat]

Your wrong.

He settled out of court with Pamela Mackey when she wanted to sue him for sexual harassment. If it went to trial he would have been humiliated and found guilty, since Ms. Mackey still had copies of Billo on tape talking dirty.

As far as ratings go, Keith Olbermann has had higher ratings than Billo 5 out of the last 11 days. And Hannity also beat billo last night.

Try to do some research before you make your statements. Do the opposite of what fox noise channel does.

[AriesLudzik]

O'Reilly doubles Olbermann's puny audience on a nightly basis - on some nights, O'Reilly triples him. Just the facts. Look 'em up !

Nice try. MSNBC has more letters than viewers.

Olbermann is a pathological, neurotic, manic, hate-filled psychopath. He gets flattened by O'Reilly in ways that make him red-faced, which is what drives him into his rabid rants. He loses. Gets his ass handed to him.

[svahdat]

I just stated a fact that 5 out of the last 11 nights olbermann beat billo. and that billo is not even #1 on his own network.

And your rebuttal is a rant about how much you hate olbermann.

You obviously cant make an intelligent argument.

I assume your silence on the sex tape scandal is an admission of billo's perverted personal life.

keep drinking the fox noise kool aid. remain ignorant of facts, and blindly support the neo-con agenda.

BTW: I thought Canadians were informed people.

[AriesLudzik]

What I gave YOU was the plain facts which clearly unsettled you because, to restate the facts, O'Reilly clobbers Olbermann in ways that would make most people hide underground from shame.

The sex thing was a personal issue that nothing to do with O'Reilly's show or his opinions/stories expressed therein. That you would even go there is a sign of how desperate you are to unload meaningless personal attacks against O'Reilly instead of looking at the substance of his show.

Keep being ignorant.

[svahdat]

As of 10/30/08: Countdown with Keith Olbermann has beaten the Factor 6 out of the last 12 nights.

"O'Reilly has never had to retract a single story and has never lost a court case"

I brought up the sex thing in response to your own comment. Which if he went to court he would have lost and thus settled.

You are by far the biggest fucking douchebag I have ever come across on YT. It seems like you purposely avoid the issue as soon as your cornered.

[AriesLudzik]

You pathetic lying fool - Olberman hasn't beaten O'Reilly since May '08 and that lasted exactly one night -- I just checked the Nielsens. You are so desperate that you have to resort to lies.

Another useless subsidized liberal who's meaningless life is being paid for by conservatives' taxes.

You're a waste of space !

[AriesLudzik]

You can't refute a single story of O'Reilly's based on presenting contrary evidence. Instead, you do what every liberal does - resort to personal smears. Everyone reading this can see right through you. You are a transparent little ball of liberal hatred.

And btw, I thought liberals believed sex was a private matter,...but you have once again shown the one constant in every liberal's poisoned little minds : hypocrisy ! Well done.

[svahdat]

Your right I have nothing but hate for neo-con traitors whose ideology destroyed my country. As a canadian your opinion is shit to me. Your probably up north somewhere fucking a goddamn moose. So I really don't give a flying fuck about your piss ant views of my countries politics. Neo-Cons like yourself deserve nothing more than a slow painful death for all of the crimes they have committed against their own people.

[AriesLudzik]

Ha, so conservatives destroyed your country, huh ? Look at the downfall of Detroit - that is a case study of liberal governance. Once a glorious and thriving epicenter in the world is now stinks thanks to criminals like Kwame Kilpatrick and others who have reduced it to stinking sewage.

Look at NYV under fools like Dinkins - it took Giuliani to clean up his mess. Look at New Orleans under Nagin 3 years after Katrina - still can't get it together. Liberals destroy everything they touch.

[AriesLudzik]

That didn't take you long - whenever a liberal starts losing an argument and knows he can't win on the playing field of ideas, he starts advocating death to his opponent as the viable option. You should join al Qaeda - it'd be a good fit for you.

Nice going, genius. Keep the death threats coming...

[PalaniRides]

Aries: Who's the coward at media events which both attend? Word is O'Reilly doesn't come anywhere near Olbermann at such events.

Are you delusional or just psychotic? Are you? There are tons of videos here on YouTube citing O'Reilly's temper, fallacies, lies, or getting his ass pasted, and it's Olbermann who is red faced??? Come again.

O'Reilly is the biggest lying joke on TV. The only bigger joke are those who lack the critical thinking skills to not see through O'Reilly's nightly BS.

[AriesLudzik]

It's funny how you're completely unable to enumerate these O'Reilly "lies".

O'Reilly has the honor and courage to stand up to crooks like Barney Frank who should be spending many years in prison for their corruption and deceit.

But what I think troubles you the most is that Bill actually has people watching his show, unlike the many failing leftist "news" operations. O'Reilly and Fox have in just a few short years come out of nowhere to dominate cable tv and now are competitive with broadcast.

[PalaniRides]

Aries: Wow, you are an O'Reilly's ass kisser.

O'Reilly lies every night by claiming he is fair and balanced, PARTICULARLY of late. Care to cite one example of O'Reilly framing entire segments dedicated to Obama winning? Just one. If he is there to objectively ANALYZE news as he often claims, why is he dispensing advice or ambushing congressmen?

Lies? I don't know where to begin given how much this man has lied. How about his whopper about The Paris Business Review, a mag which does not exist.

[PalaniRides]

Aries: I watch his show because of the laughter it provides, as well as the poignancy involved in the fact that there are tens of thousands of followers (lemmings) that look to his yellow journalism as news, and it simply isn't. People at one time believed slavery was alright, women shouldn't vote, or that blacks should not drink at the same fountain. A large following, or majority, does not make something right. O'Reilly gets ratings via exploiting the visceral RW hate cultivated in hate radio.

[PalaniRides]

Aries:

You seem to live for castigating the likes of Barney Frank and other Democrats via the cowardly O'Reilly goes after of late, but if you and O'Reilly are so concerned with jailing bums who are guilty of malfeasance and wrongdoing, what of the Republicans who are caught doing the same? Why no segments of Duke Cunningham a couple of years ago, or none now on Ted Stevens? When is he going to ambush a Republican as he did Frank?

Wrong is wrong, regardless of party affiliation is it not?

[AriesLudzik]

Cowardly ? O'Reilly said it right to Frank's face, dude ! Nothing cowardly about it. And poor Barney panicked and folded like the weak & corrupt cocksucker that he is. His boyfriend, the Fannie Mae exec, must have cried like a baby too.

O'Reilly took him on like a man and Barney wailed like a typical yellow belly liberal who caused the whole mess but won't confess to it.

[AriesLudzik]

O'Reilly was the first to break the John Edwards scandal when none of the other "journalists" from network news would touch it. Again, another example of O'Reilly being ahead of the curve !

Face it, O'Reilly trounces his competition for a reason - it's because he doesn't peddle the same worn-out left-wing drivel that puts people to sleep. He tells it straight like a real man should without any consideration to whether the miscreant's eggshell psyche gets hurt. The truth often hurts.

[PalaniRides]

Aries:

Btw, there's a BIG FAT LIE told here in this video by the charlatan O'Reilly. First, he once again removes any semblance of objectivity by coming to Palin's defense, and then he claims he himself would not know how to answer the Bush Doctrine question that Palin was served by Charlie Gibson.He skewers Gibson for supposedly playing "Gotcha journalism"for asking a simple question most Republicans should know, but now LIES that he himself would not know the answer.He did entire shows on it.

[AriesLudzik]

Do a Lexis Lexis-Nexis search on the so-called "Bush Doctrine" and you'll see that nobody has used it in the 8 years of W's presidency until Gibson dropped it on Palin.

It was an obviously nebulous and unclear reference that should have been made more specific by outlining whether he was referring to preemption, unilateralism, if you fund terrorism then you will be treated as a terrorist,etc., etc..

Nobody had a clue what he was talking about because nobody ever coined the term "Bush Doctrine"

[AriesLudzik]

That's what you're having such a hard time swallowing - that O'Reilly & Fox dare not parrot the liberal line that is so pervasive in every other news outlet.

You and other leftists want nothing less than to eliminate all dissent and to achieve 100% conformity. Sorry, but tools like Olbermann aren't quite cutting it which is why he gets neutered by O'Reilly night after night.

You just can't deal with the fact that so many millions of people are genuinely interested in what he has to say.

[PalaniRides]

Aries: It's not the fact that Fox is a right leaning network that bothers those like me, it is how they go about reporting the news. They did not become the biggest joke in cable news because they list conservative or Republican, they became that joke because they break just about every tenet there is to journalism everyday, on just about every show. If they followed the lead of their own show, FOX NEWS WATCH, where balance was somewhat achieved every week, I would have no problem with them.

[AriesLudzik]

Sorry, but ratings DO matter and, on that score, O'Reilly has them and MSNBC doesn't ! You need a microscope to see Olbermann's amoebic ratings.

Sorry for the inconvenient truth.

[svahdat]

Don't bother arguing with Aries.

He's the biggest piece of shit on YT.

[PalaniRides]

Aries: Being dishonest and pointing a very SELECTIVE finger at people he doesn't care for is a "noble" service? That's who you look up to??? Ha-ha-ha!!!

Again, how many segments has he had on Randy Duke Cunningham, or now with Ted Stevens? How many segments has he even had with prominent Republicans who are supporting Obama. William Weld just endorsed Obama, and where is O'Reilly with the news?

Pathological liars and sociopaths don't retract stories - where's the Paris Business Review? Ha-ha!

[greenorangeviolet]

You are SO right!

[AriesLudzik]

It was clear to me that Letterman was steering clear of a confrontation because he knew that O'Reilly is not easily ambushed and would bring down the wrath of God on Letterman if he tried that nonsense again.

O'Reilly is who he is because he 's not a media stooge - what he says is genuine and heartfelt and common sense in a time when common sense is anything but common.

He calls out the rats from the ACLU who are raping little boys when the so-called mainstream media is ignoring the story !

[PalaniRides]

Aries:

Clear of confrontation?! What program were you watching? Letterman won those two previous appearances hands down.

O'Reilly *IS* a media stooge. He makes close to 15 million a year dividing the country against its own citizens with nary a conscience in sight. Venom and agitation sells, and cowardly clowns like O'Reilly are happy to oblige.O'Reilly hides under a "Traditionalist" label, but like other far right-wingers, he frequently attacks the ACLU. Who in the ACLU has raped kids? Who???

[AriesLudzik]

O'Reilly outed the president of an ACLU chapter who was arrested for child pornography. The fact that the ACLU continues to try to legalize child pornography and sticks up for pedophiles all the time is an amazing insight into a twisted and criminal organization.

Again, it is O'Reilly who doggedly pursues shady types like these and spills the beans on these crooks.

And that's why O'Reilly is king of the tv ratings game and the reason Olbermann struggles to get his parents to watch.

[PalaniRides]

Aries:

So O'Reilly -- the self professed "non-partisan, Independent, journalist" -- pursues shady types, huh? How many Duke Cunningham or Ted Stevens segments have displaced his "body language"(LOL!)segments? Can you imagine what this "independently minded journalist" would have done if a Democrat had committed the treason Cunningham had?

The ACLU? Criminal? The same ACLU that came to blowhard Limbaugh's defense,or would defend YOU if your house was illegally searched or your rights violated?

[cowpoxz]

that was a surprisingly good interview, O'reilly showed a lot of class, compared to when he and barney frank decided to have a "who is louder match" on his show

[00givethemhell]

I like Bill O'Rielly is the only person with balls to take on assholes like Letterman and the View, there were a lot of, he could of gone after Letterman on. The Dems are really nasty, they attacked Joe the plumber, because he did like Obama tax plan. The people think lost are rights with the GOP; if you disagree with Obama your a raciest. If the Dems get total control, may god help this country.

[lionofthejungle]

Joe the plumber can kiss my ass.

[PalaniRides]

00give:

Ya think Obama might attempt to do what Dubya did for this country?

You know, attack a country like Iraq that had did nothing to us, thereby costing the lives of over 4000 American service personnel and close to one million Iraqis, along with breaking the American treasury along the way? Or might Obama go out and simply lose what shred of respect and prestige there is left thanks to Dubya's colossal foreign policy blunders? What could the Democrats do worse than the dunce?

What?

[PalaniRides]

00give:

Yes, O'Reilly has a "lot of balls" attacking the likes of David Letterman and Joy Behar as he pimps his book; neither who are political pundits.

Why doesn't he take on George Clooney, or David Brooks from Media Matters? Clooney, an actor mind you, has called him out twice to debate him in a neutral venue,only for O'Reilly to claim his TV contract won't let him.Funny how it allows him to go out and plug his sorry book.

It was the McCain camp who put Joe the plumber on the national stage.

[maninthisphatsuit]

I love that O'Rielly walking music was Britney Spears "womanizer", but of course he's not hip to any of it.

[damienaa]

it was piece of me,not womenizer
