Missed the Stewart-O’Reilly interviews this week, though I’ve been reading all about it/watching it online. And what’s been most fascinating, as Sullivan hits on today, is how Fox edited the interviews - “to omit some of the best Stewart zingers, and protect O’Reilly from being fully exposed.”
My favorite bit that didn’t get in is this:
O’REILLY: […]

Note what Bill’O here does not say:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs0m8PHds5w

Anarchy and vigilantism is bad for society. Once the law breaks down society is finished.
And that’s the basis upon which O’Reilly thinks Americans should condemn Tiller’s murder. Not that murdering of an adult individual - versus the fetuses O’Reilly so carefully tallies up - could in and of itelf […]

Except, ew, it’s Bill O’Reilly.

And Bill O’Reilly is outraged. Of course.

O’Reilly, living down to expectations:
OREILLY: U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan are risking their lives to protect the Afghan people from the Taliban and al Qaeda. But President Karzai does not seem to get that. Once again, he has condemned American forces after a raid killed some civilians.
In that raid, a top Taliban commander and […]

You know, if I’m this group, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, I’m not so confrontational. My sign says merely, “Welcome the winter solstice,” instead of making a point to say all religion is false, etc.
There was simply no need to be that obnoxious. If you want equal access, take advantage of equal access; the opportunity […]

Hilarious. So in Washington state, there’s been conotroversy over the “holiday tree” (by the Association of Washington Business, for 19 years) erected in the state capitol. The wingers hate the name, obviously. As the Seattle Post-Intelligencer tells us:
That prompted a lawmaker from Spokane to stage a protest at the Capitol, demanding the holiday tree be […]

Hm. Sounds like even the head honchos at his own network can’t stand Bill O’Reilly:
“It is not just Murdoch (and everybody else at News Corp.’s highest levels) who absolutely despises Bill O’Reilly, the bullying, mean-spirited, and hugely successful evening commentator,” Wolff wrote, “but [Fox News chief executive] Roger Ailes himself who loathes him. Success, however, […]

You know how the retail Christmas season seems to begin earlier every year?
So does Bill O’Reilly’s annual war against the “War on Christmas.”
Maybe the same someone who sent me that “It’s OK, Wish Me A Merry Christmas” button last year will furnish me with one of O’Reilly’s bumper stickers this year. I’ve got a collection […]

The reason McCain is running behind? Because he didn’t go on Bill O’Reilly’s show.
This is, incidentally, as close to an admission as you’ll get from Bill’O that it’s his job to help Republican candidates.

Just off the phone with My Mother the Winger. Who still dislikes Sarah Palin, and actually had nice things to say about Obama.
And now I see Bill O’Reilly ripping into President Bush.
That’s one of the seven signs, isn’t it?

You know, I’ll maybe give Obama points for sitting down with Bill O’Pinhead here, but this, to me, is the huge difference between movement conservatism and whatever it is that I believe - the broad brush, the sledgehammer, the insistence on simple answers to complex issues, versus the realization that no matter how “girly” you may […]

Sort of amazed by this, but by now I shouldn’t be.
O’Reilly and his ilk continue to maintain that waterboarding isn’t torture, despite the fact that after WWII the U.S. prosecuted several Japanese soldiers for waterboarding U.S. servicemen. It was a war crime then. So what’s changed?
Well, obviously the fact that the “good guys” are using […]

There’s a pretty interesting video making the rounds this week in which Bill O’Reilly has a guest on who opposes gay marriage, and O’Reilly asks him - well, why do you oppose gay marriage - and the guy simply can’t come up with anything coherent. And O’Relly sort of gets on the guy’s case. Which, […]

Hilarious. Colbert parodies O’Reilly’s meltdown:

I would surely be remiss if I didn’t link the “Bill O’Reilly goes nuts!” video now making the rounds, which you might already have seen. The funny thing isn’t that TV anchors screw up, because they do. The funny thing is how (at 1:05) O’Reilly seems to take it personally. And how the mash-ups are […]
