O’Reilly: ‘I Don’t Do Personal Attacks’

Share article:

“I don’t do personal attacks…We don’t do personal attacks.”
— Bill O’Reilly, The O’Reilly Factor, 2/23/06.

MediaMatters.org disagrees…and has the evidence to prove it.

Do we feel sorry yet for Bill making such a continuous yutz of himself? Over and over…and over…again? Nah.

    On air O’Reilly tries to get Keith Oberman canned

    and replaced by Phil Donahue,.. this fiasco

    backfires in O’Reilly’s face…

    A talk show caller speaks to Bill O’Reilly and

    comes to the defence of Oberman,…

    O’Reilly hangs up on the caller

    and has the "Fox Police" threaten the caller,..

    O’Reilly has "Fox Police" call his shows listener : LINK

    David Letterman nails Bill O’Reilly real good,..

    God, when is he finally going to get into therapy & heal his "daddy issues?"
    Until then, he has to keep proving to the world (and to his dead father) that he’s a big, tough guy.
    Where do you think he first was told to "shut up!"

    Gee, the nuns I know didn’t teach him to scold like that, did they? How could they smell the urine from his pajamas? And didn’t his mommy tell him it’s not polite to point?

    OMG is that funny! (media matters’ bits)..

    And pRicky comes in and tries to change the subject, as usual. Bottom line, pRicky.. he’s a liar..

    Kinda wish Letterman had known about the intel reports that show only 10% of the "insurgents" are foriegners.. That was a big claim of the Admin at one point, "foriegn terrorists make up the insurgency".. And the bit about 75% of Iraqis SUPPORTING the attacks on U.S. Soldiers.. that means, the "bulk of the insurgents", terrorists or not, are "fighting for the freedom of the Iraqi people" because they see us as an oppressive occupier.

    It’s perspective.. and O’Liely can’t get his head out of his ass long enough to see that. Letterman was mostly on point, showing we shouldn’t be there in the first place. That leads to point 2, they are trying to get us OUT. If we would LEAVE, the "freedom fighters" over there would no longer be killing our troops.. right? duh? But the pRickies of the world STILL want to hold on to the LIES about Iraq being a "hotbed of terrorism". Proved bullshit statement, and turning into a self-fullfiling proficy.. leaving would REDUCE the violence..

    Trying to explain things like this to O’Liely and pRicky (and Paul and Medium [has his head]Right[up his ass]) is like trying to teach my puppy to stop putting his paws in the water bowl. Since he can’t see anything wrong with it, and it’s not hurting him, he can’t understand that it’s just not right (the cats are pissed cause he keeps putting dirt and dog hair in the water bowl). Though, I expect my 10 wk old puppy to "not get it".. I expect "adult humans" to be something more capable of reason.. I guess it’s too much to ask.. perhaps I should get out the rolled up news paper and start smacking pRicky up side the head..

    :doze:

    I don’t care that much about William says. What gets me is his passive aggressive attempts to boycott states or cities… The "I’m not calling for a boycott of vermont but…" No one had mentioned boycotting vermont before him! Then there was San Fransico or Diego ( I forget which ) with their conflict over accepting a retired navy boat. I don’t have the deals exactly but again he threw in the boycott idea.

    Oh brother, William… you’re not that important.

    Well, I understand throwing Christians to the lions in Rome was also very popular. Which, of course, has nothing to do with being right.

    If opposing someone who lies to the American people night after night after night makes me "opposite" them, I stand there proudly.

    But speaking of finding ones self opposite the American People, it looks like fringe minorities like yourself who support George W. Bush are quickly becoming extinct.

    Why don’t you stand with the American people for a change, Ricky, instead of opposite them?

    I love listening to The Stephanie Miller Show in the morning on the way to work.

    She keeps me in stitches as she plays tapes of O’Reilly
    showing his hypocrisy by comparing one statement against another.

    #1 news show on my cable (satellite actualy) Free Speech TV!

    What everyone is missing is that FOX pays huge amounts of money in many [rural] areas of the US for exclusive national news airing rights. Example: just got back from Bozeman MT area (skiing)… nice people, BUT other than the local news stations and a few very right-leaning news shows on some of the networks, the only cable news that they air up there (and throughout many parts of "fly over" America) is FOX (i.e. – O’Reilly). BUT: within the markets where both O’Reilly and Olberman are both aired, Olberman’s ratings soar…

    It’s kind of sad (and scarey) that locals don’t even get any tv coverage of their own Senator’s illegalities and corruption… though "we" hear about it on the coasts.

    Stephanie Miller is Intelligent Entertaining and a FOX ! (in good sense of the word)

    I wonder what the over/under is for O’Lielys on air meltdown. I listen to Stephanie Miller as well, she is priceless. How she stands watching that scum everyday is beyond me. I happen to put on Heil Hannity last night for a quick sneak and lo and behold man Coulter was on there ranting about the Taliban student going to Yale. But Hannity stole the show when he said this:

    The Taliban are the worst regime in history!

    And I bet his sheeple base ate that up!

    I happened to catch the Radio Factor tonight (its on at 6pm in my market) and on today’s show he played a clip of Ozzy Osborne. #1 he made fun of his stuttering. #2 he stated that Ozzy "sounded like an MSNBC commentator."

    Personal attack? Stuttering and speech impediments seem pretty personal.

    #19 o reilly The classic Jealous, Bully. Because he Knows that . . . . .

    Ozzy Osborne has more creativity & intelligence in his Stool than o reilly has in his head.

    Three Genertion Can’t All Wrong . . . . . Ozzy is Great.

    …and you know what’s really sad?…. An awful lot of American citizens just don’t see it. I’ve a relative who "blieves everything Bill says". I mean, holy cow pies!!

    This guy is right up there with that blonde, anemic wench that goes on a rampage about "rag heads" or whatever. I don’t remember her name, partly because I don’t want to remember her name.

    Bill O does a real inservice to America. He fills the airwaves with lies and BS, he insults anyone opposing his ferret eyed perspective, and he’s just a real chunck "of cheap frozen chicken"!

    What can we say. He lies about everything else, so why can’t he say he doesn’t insult others on his show? Just one more lie.
