Bill O'Reilly Hoisted On His Own Petard By 16 Year Old
Last week, O'Reilly imploded during an interview with Jesse Lange, a rising junior at Boulder High School in Colorado (video above). He was on the program to address O'Reilly's criticism of the Boulder High sex-education program. Lange tells Radar that he knew he was brought on for an opposing view, but his main concern before the show was how to address O'Reilly. "I wasn't sure whether or not I should call him Bill or Mr. O'Reilly," Lange tells Radar. "In the end, I decided to call him Bill, because if I called him Mr. O'Reilly, it would imply that I viewed him as some sort of expert or authority figure." Lange also says that in a brief pre-show interview, O'Reilly asked him not to quote the incendiary parts from The O'Reilly Factor For Kids. "Bill expressly asked me not to talk about it on the air," he says, but the book was the perfect counterpoint to O'Reilly's thinly constructed premise.
When Lange did quote from the book, the hotheaded host got so defensive that he labeled Lange a "pinhead" and cut him off when he tried to read the kiddie propaganda book's inflammatory passages.
As for what it's like being the kid who put a hurting on Bill O'Reilly, Lange says he is getting "a couple hundred Facebook requests a day" and letters from college professors, "just asking me to consider their schools when I apply to college."
Newshounds has more...
Hahaha! COWARD! BLOWHARD! WEENIE!
My thanks to Mr. Lange for showing America how a man deals with a bully like Billo.
This was so outrages I couldn't stop laughing. A 16 year old put Billo in his place. Billo tries to lecture the kid and the kid had the upper hand until and including the end. He evan got the last word.
Oh, and Billo?
Ahem...
OWNAGE.
Fox News = the complete unravelling of the Conservative ideology.
That young man did a great job, he used The Splotchy One's own words against him in perfect context.
Owned!!!
Godd for him, a 16 year old beats O'really? at matchwitts!!!! What a burn Bill!
Notice how Bill kept trying to paint the other kid as a "victim" for his stance? So fucking predictable.
oops, thats "Good for him", I want nothing to do with Godd!
hooray for this young man.
BillO is a sexual predator.
I think the fact that BillO was put down by a 16 year old proves that he has the mentality of a 10 year old.
Blue Buddha @ 12:
Yeah, he has the mentality of a 10 year old bully who just got his ass whipped.
Bildo PWNT! :lol:
I wonder when this fine young man will be voting age? If he turns 17 before November this year, that's one more vote to take back the country!
Ah-hah, the giant talking head tries to bully a sixteen year old kid, and ends up getting owned.
What...
a...
jerk.
I especially liked the part where BillO tells Jesse that he is taking his words out of context from his book and Jesse says "well let me read the whole paragraph then" and BillO says NO, NO, NO ..... I think I heard some panic there. Of corse I have not read any of BillO's books so I don't know what is in them, but really wasn't confortable.
Hey, Bill. You can't remember the Ecstasy quote and have to have it read back to you by (what you call) a 16 year old pinhead? What's the matter with you? Did you do too many drugs back in school, Bill. Or did pops just hit you one too many times upside the head?
No, you're not a pinhead, Bill. Your head is way too big for that. You're just a basket-case crackedhead.
What was the other kids last name, Wus-ner?
Even with autofill this user interface is slow, unpredictable and awkward to use. It's almost as bad as HuffPo. I no longer bother to post there, is C&L going the wrongway?
He called a 16 year old kid a "pinhead". What a fucking idiot
i remember a Donahue show about ecstasy when it exploded onto the
scene in texas. it's a relatively harmless drug. Donahue's approach
was very intelligent and nor reactive.
i bet that lsd story was totally made up. people get paid big bucks
to go to schools and scare kids with phony stories about drugs.
bill O shows himself to be nothing but an ignorant propagandist.
WAY TO GO JESSE!
I like how you can pinpoint the second, by Billo's facial expression, when he realizes Jesse didn't follow his bullshit pre-interview "agreement" about not quoting The Factor for Kids.
Just his knowing, incensed smile tells me there's no doubt that that conversation happened before the show.
Well, I'd rather be a pinhead than racist scum like Billo.
Very cool to such a bright young man. Bill O can't be too pleased with this coming off as it did.
Cheers to Jesse, one of our future leaders.
Simple is better, even if not always dependable.
Obviously you didnit even watch your own video posting! Watch it again and see what you missed!
There is a big difference between what Billo said "If I had some ecstasy maybe I'd do it with you" Versus the the actual transcript reading, "Even today there are some psychiatrist who do sessions with people under the influence of ecstasy and maybe if I had some and knew someone I'd do it, but I don't you know."
Billo tries to make it sound like the speaker was implying that he wanted to do some with the students, but in actuality the speaker was talking about a supervised session with a psychiatrist in a clinical setting.
This is how that ratsA*S bends and distorts everything he hears to suit his agenda. I'm surprised that Billo didn't cut off his mic!
Has anyone explained to Billy O that "pinhead" is a derogatory term that refers to a very real neurological disorder (microcephalus) that has no cure that leaves children and adults with a smaller than average head, thus the unfortunate term.
Way to go Faux Noise, your sociopath bottom feeder continues to scrape out new lows for sub-adult behavior.
But, but, but, O'Reilly has more ratings than Olbermann! Squawk, Squawk, Squawk!!!!
Did anyone notice how ironic it is that O'Lielly misquoted and took that man's statements out of context then accused Jesse of taking things in his book out of context?
Way to go, Bill-O!
I can't wait for Keith to comment on this tonight!
I nominate Jesse Lange for tonight's best person in the world!
geez, o'reilley is so pompous, so self-righteous, he doesn't even know that he's just been schooled by a 16 year old kid. jessie reads the paragraph from his book to him and all o'reilley can come up with is that it is taken out of context. a blowhard, full of hot air but with a following of believers. someone really needs to get him on neutral ground and fully take him apart. on his turf he controls the plug as in pull the plug.
Rush @ 27:
Didnit! Did to! Didnit! Did to! Didnit! Did to! Yuor a fagit! No YUO
Listening to that young man intelligently express himself is a refreshing change from the loathsome hatred and vile that comes from the mouth of Ann Coulter.
Dr. Matt @ 30:
LOL! I was waiting for our O'Reilly's Best Fanboy to come along to "enlighten" us with this "new" information again at any moment.
BWAHAHAHAH! That was great. Olieley had to resort to calling a 16 year old a "pinhead" out of the blue. What a dick.
.
Holy #$%&*
Stay away for 5 days and the whole world changes!
Oh...
How do you like them apples, Billo!!! :)

Itinerant @ 14:
Indeed, pwnt is the only term that adequately conveys the complete and total decimation Bill'O just suffered. Bwahahaha, kick ass for the kid!
And people say the youth of our country are uniformly stupid... hah!
The thing that I like best about Mr. O'Reilly is his consistency. You are a pinhead if you disagree with him. He will cut your microphone so you cannot speak your opinions -- which you have been invited on his program to voice. If you don't kiss his behind, then he gives you a smirk and discounts you. Thank you, BO'R, for proving that there are constants in this world.
Nice takedown from a 16 year old. Well done. And by the way, I think pot should be legalized and people like Billo should be institutionalized.
Hoe. Lee. Chit.
That kid just crushed Bill like a little bug. If there was a ranking system, this clip would be in my top 10 CnL clips ever.
Hoist.
Not Hoisted.
Hoist - just like Bill wrote it.
loved every second of it!
John H @ 44:
Yeah, it just goes to show how stupid people can be!
Rush @ 27:
The Irrelevant One speaks again and is marginalized. Again. One wonders if it will ever learn.
Mr. Jesse Lange deserves our thanks. At sixteen he handled himself quite professionally. He was steady and ready.
The end of the segment when Jesse says, I have read it, Bill. is a classic ending.
One is hoist by a petard, not on a petard.
"The Factor has been the driving force behind the controversy..."
In other words, the self-righteous BillO and his herd of criminally ill-informed pinh...viewers have an axe to grind about how the MORAL FIBER of the NATION is going down the toilet due to those crazy Ess Pees! Never mind that people have been saying this for, uh, since religion started.
Saw this segment.
Bet rightwingers paid the one kid.
Meanwhile I'd hire Lange if I needed an attorney.
He had Billo crapping himself and pretty much ended this storyline on the "Factor".
Otay @ 18:
Did you do too many drugs back in school, Bill. Or did pops just hit you one too many times upside the head?
No, Billdo's just pissed that nobody ever wanted to smoke any weed with him. Maybe if he did, he wouldn't be such a pompous ass so full of himself.
love it!!
The only thing that the O'Reilly Factor has ever been a driving force behind, was getting Steven Colbert his own gig.
I believe the man who said it first...said it best:
For 'tis the sport to have the enginer
Hoist with his own petar(d)...
Hamlet | Act III, Scene 4
This clip is nirvana. And as mentioned by others, the very end when Jesse says in such a matter of fact way, "I have read it, Bill", is the absolute cream.
Does anyone know how we can get our support and solidarity to Jesse? I was unable to find anything.
Who can get this on you tube.
Sorry I thought it was the K.O. msnbc video. I bet it gets a ton of hits.
Layeth the Smacketh down on Reilly's rudy-pooh candy ass.
Bill makes me ill, but again, the reason you keep having him as the poster child for idiocy is...?
Why don't you go after bigger issues than Bill, like the fact that when my daughter turns 19 she will not be covered by my insurance company?
I don't give a fuck about a newscaster, that has so much self loathing, and hate: but you do?
What the F are you trying to teach us?
Ill tell you whats 'inappropriate'.
A 16 year old using the word 'inappropriate'.
Lil robot.
M,
he is trying to teach you that a 16 teen year old can complelty take down one of the rights top pundits with irrefutable logic and cool head on his own show.
More than can be said about you. You are always free to not post your thought about stories you dont care to read about anyways. Save the rest of us how and a legitimate interest the time of reading a pointless rant.
And your daughter is technically an adult at 18, so your lucky you got another year.
m @ 61:
Correction: Billo is not a newscaster. He is a propagandist.
The "FAR LEFT" is encouraging kids to take drugs and have promiscuous sex? He can't even find ONE example without brow beating a CHILD. I am so DONE with this asshole.
new day @ 50:
Or in Bill's case, probably hoist by his underoos, after being told off by a 16 year old (and a better-mannered 16 year old at that). Poor Bill and the humiliation he must be taking right now by everyone but his high school dropout buddies, who are probably cheering him on. "You told him, dude. Reminds me of calling that kid a spaz back in 8th grade. Remember that man? I came up with the good ones, didn't I Bilbo?"
that young man did what exactlly what you need to do when showing up on lufa boys show...come prepared
he was, and nailed that perv to the wall
and here is a 60 year old man, calling a 16 year old boy, "a pinhead"????
what maturity...what finesse....what a fucking ahole
WORST PERSON IN THE UNIVERSE
take it ko
I bet Bill went back to office after the show, slammed the door, and threw his phone at his wall.
Then yelled at his agent , "Can't we get real pinheads , not young punks who make me look a god damn fool!"
im a dreamer.
Shouldn't that read "Roasted Like a Boned ReTard?"
Jesse is going on to a life filled with safe sex and perhaps some happy recreational drug use. Andrew...well, not so much.
I had to watch it twice, just for the "I have read it Bill" at the end. What a cool head on that kid!
http://www.newshounds.us/2007/06/20/a_thoughtful_analysis_of_bill_oreill...
everyone must read this guest blog by jesse....some day, we may be voting for him for prez
This was great. One thing I noticed is when the kid started reading the words from the guy from the high school presentation and/or from O'Reilly himself O'Reilly started talking over the kid and tried to shut him off and than he went to the kid who agreed with Bill. I wish the kid read from some of Bill O's porno.
Jesse Lange comfortably showed that the tide is turning - There are people actually saying "Turn that damn fool O'Reilly and Faux off". I think that the around-the-clock Paris Hilton crap was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Oh I also forgot to comment on the "pinhead" moment. Doesn't Bill O always get onto "the left" for doing name calling and all of that and here he calls a kid a pinhead? Good grief. I would hate to have Bill O as my father. He might call his own kid(s) a pinhead.
I hope Jesse gets a full scholarship to the University of his choosing. That clip made my day.
Jesse Lange for president! Oh, wait, he's a teenager....
Dang, I wish some of the Democratic candidates (besides Gravel) would talk back to lying assholes like Billy.
Bwahahahaha! Oreily Pwned by a lil high school kid.
ah hahahaha.
Classic.
Mr. Bill was just a little defensive. What a dickhead. But that sure was sweet seeing Mr. arrogant blowhard know-it-all get his ass handed to him by a 16 year old, who obviously came prepared with the facts, unlike Mr. O'Liely, who wouldn't know the truth if he ran into it full speed ahead. Way to go Jesse.
Nice. O'Lielly dishonestly quoted the "liberal" lecturer out of context in order to misrepresent his views, and Jesse turned the tables on Billo and quoted a passage from his book in the same manner.
Of course, O'Lielly completely missed the kid's point and went off on him. I wonder how many of his witless fans caught his base hypocrisy?
And a child shall lead them.
Meanwhile, back in DC, (Dick Cheneyland) we are all still living under the occupation of Dick Cheney and his one man government, and still no one rises to throw out the usurper. Our fearful "leaders" in the democratic party quiver in a corner in fear and wet themselves if they even think they might have to do something.
Oh Lord, when will you deliver us from the evil that has beset our land?
Normally I wouldn't be in favor a teenager referring to an adult by first name, but in this case it was definitely the right choice. O'Liely is not only a bully and but very disrespectful to guests he disagrees with even when they're considerable younger. Remember how horrible he was to the young man who's father was killed on 9/11? Referring to him by first name helped level the playing field and put Jesse on a more equal footing. Good call on Jesse's part. Obviously Jesse knows how Billo operates and came well prepared. Hope Jesse's prepared for some retribution. Billo doesn't like to be made a fool of, even though he does it everyday to himself.
Billo is such a jackass, and it's just icing that it was pointed out by a young man who isn't besotted or bullied by him.
hey, that's me!
here's the thing about billo:
he's an entertainer, not a newsman, not an editorialist, and when you cross a former "A Current Affair" host with a wingnut, you get falafel, and that's what Fox is all about, right? i sometimes wonder if his degrees aren't honorary, because, well, HOW is it possible? he's barely capable of having a conversation unless his conversers say exactly what he needs them to say, but then, who would honor that twerp?
i do have to give him credit for coming up with my handle...what a turd merchant.
a beautiful thing to behold. jesse set up billo for the fall and he walked right into the trap.
jesse:"i can read the paragraph"
billo panicing:"no no no"
oh, heaven forbid, anyone actually hearing verbatim that right wing prpaganda piece billo penned on the air. bill might actually have o defend it for the incipid intellectually dishonest piece of drool that it is.
from ann coulter being challenged by elizabeth edwards to billo and his 16 yr old nightmare, the days of the free ride for the bottom feeding right wig bomb throwing pundits are increasinly over. expect more of the same.
B-E-A-Utiful!
Um, stick that Falafel where the sun don't shine, You big-headed freak!
Good lord, Bill-O, You got schooled by an actual student. Go hang your gigantic dome in shame.
You cranial abnormality, you.
The only other thing I would have done would be to walk out on O'Reilly. That would have been sweet.
"If you don't believe me and won't let me present evidence, there's no reason for me to be here. Goodbye."
That kid was AWESOME.
Let me get this. O'Reilly says the quote in his book doesn't condone drug use. He then tells the kid that he should read the book. But when the kid wants to read from it to bolster his argument, O'Reilly cuts him off. Perfect.
That is classic Bill Lightweight O'Reilly. What a boob.
FYI: On the phrase "Hoist by my own petard": http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_295b.html
The last paragraph is particularly applicable to BillO.
I didn't know a person could hoist a second person on the second person's petard. I thought one could only hoist oneself on one's own petard.
Maybe we should dub this kid, Captain Petard.
Bill O'Really could be Private Retard.
I really feel sorry for that Andrew kid. He'll have a terrible life, worrying that someone's going to say something he doesn't want to hear and he'll have to listen! He'll never be happy because he has to worry that he'll hear something that he disagrees with. I've been in education for 20 years and the right wing kids are always the rudest and usually walk away from an argument but they never address the subject. There has been no exceptions. Today's right wing kids know all the repub talking points, too. If jump into a debate, it's always with talking points (usually-"Clinton did . . .).
O'Reilley--what a pompous asshole. This 16-year successfully put O'Reily's true character on display for the whole world to see by simply letting O'Reilly be himself.
Kudos to Jesse Lange!!!!
Bill-O writes a book for kids, and when a kid quotes his book he calls the kid a "pinhead". Jebus, you reich-wingers are the lowest scum on earth. Thanks for proving that once again.
pe·tard (noun)
1. explosive charge for breaching fortification
ARMS a small explosive charge or grenade used to blow a hole in a door, wall, or fortification
2. firecracker
a powerful firecracker
be hoist with your own petard
to be the victim of your own attempt to harm somebody else
Funniest part: BO saying his book was being quoted out of context. Quoting out of context is, of course, something BO never does.
That Jesse kid is smarter than most adults.
Boo-hoo-hoo, Andrew, did the other kids pick on you? (Translation: You're a victim, play the part for your Unca Bill)
As for Jesse, someone buy that young man some serious shades, because his future is so bright it's glowing :)
[...] Guess who wins? Bill is reduced to calling him a pinhead Ad hominum = defeat! [...]
Shill Orally was totally PWNED in that piece, and I love how he plugged his case of toilet paper there to wrap things up.
I did Bill. (When Bill told Jesse to read his book). Smackdown AND last word, boooyaaacashaa!
Wow. Schooled!
Jesse Lange was more prepared than many reporters.
this kid has a very very bright future! :) he can own Billo at 16 years old. imagine what he can do at 20. maybe he'll be the one to unravel hannity?? lol
That kid's awesome! I love how BillO says that Jesse was taking him out of context when he (BillO) cut him off before he could finish the quote about ecstasy. Fucking hypocrite.
I have been speaking with Jesse via facebook and he says he will be on Olbermann this evening. Should be a great interview. I don't get cable so I hope it's posted here tomorrow.
Cheers!
Boulder High School should be emulated by all high schools in the country. I went there and we were taught to think critically and stand up for what's right.
Bill O'wned
Having to degrade a 16 year old with the help of a 15 year old really shows how irrelevant billo has become. Loosing his ass to the same 16 year old was simply priceless to see. Bill O'Rieley has my nomination for the "completely irrelevant loser of the year award" 5 years running now.
I was extremely impressed with this young man(Jesse Lange)............looked like old blowhard, lying, O'liely didn't know what hit him. Talk about your blowback..........BO, when you gonna learn that there's always going to somebody to throw your stupidity right back in your face???
How's it feel to get totally out ranked in brains, poise, wisdom, and critical thinking on your own stinkin' show?????
We will be hearing more from Jesse; he represents hope for this country's future.
One time I was in the audience debating Sean Hannity during a live broadcast of his radio show and tearing him to shreds. Then this woman whispers something into her 11 yr old daughter's ear + the girl shouts out, "he's a liberal."
Hannity then says "Look at the liberal trying to debate an 11 yr old." (To deflect attention from the serious ass whupping I was giving him.)
My response, I went up to the kid and said, "I'm not going to debate you but I think it's wonderful that you have confidence in your views at such a young age and I encourage you to express them even if we disagree and I think you should be proud of yourself for that." (Guess Hannity was furious b/c it debunked his lie + showed how to handle debating "a kid." I doubt Bill O'Reilly could ever do such a thing.
Billdo
This kid is awesome!
HAHA! O'Lielly pwned by a 16 yo kid! Niiiice! I hope that we get to see more
of this 'pwnage' of O'Lielly by those he thinks he is going to outwit on his show.
Jesse shows that there IS f**king hope out there...
The other jock brain-dead kid's statements looked SO rehearsed...
Bill's candy-ass has felt the smackdown
Jesse has more balls than half the Democrats in office!
Better get "Fox Security" on this kid.... What an absolute joke!!
Hey billo, where were you during the Viet Nam War, Hummmmmm...
Wackin ya wennie?
Jesse Lange comes off smooth, unruffled and prepared. He makes his point and behaves like the only adult in the lineup. Plus, he's a good-looking kid, so maybe he'll attract some attention and become a teen pundit to represent the free-thinking youth of America. It's obvious that Lange actually listened to what the guest speakers said and had the smarts to understand and take something of value from their words. O'Reilly always shows what a weak-minded blowhard he is, but in record time his labeling of Lange as a pinhead tipped his feeble hand. Christ, when's this fuckwit going to get the axe?
Did little Billy get the willies when a bigger man showed him up? Well, the Fart's Views have always stunk. Unfortunately, our "serious" opposition can't stand up as tall as the kid did.
Gee Bill, I think it would have been far more effective if you'd blown a raspberry at the kid. That always gets'em when they are showing you up. They should experiment and keep lowering the age of his guests. My 14 year old niece could hand him his ass, I know that much.
How anyone can take Billo seriously after this is a mystery to me. What a FOOL!
LOL!
Jesse FOR PRESIDENT!
Bill Oh Really takes it in the ass again on his own show, gee, what a shocker.
This is becoming way too routine for this gas bag. Someone needs to tell ol' Billo that the show is over, this is just too hard to look at! His cornbeef and cabbage head is intellectually no match for a 16 year old high school student. Stick a fork in Bill, hes done.
