O'Reilly attacks NBC for airing the Clinton/Holeman story; FOX turns around and does the same
By John Amato Monday Feb 18, 2008 4:15pm
Leave it to Bill O'Reilly to make a fool out of FOX News for us. Thank you, Bill. It's not like they need any help but we'll take it. I'm sure Roger Ailes didn't like his 60 million dollar man trashing Murdoch's property.

O'Reilly: ...and this video surfaced of President Clinton pointing his finger at an Obama supporter who was apparently baiting him. Now there are plenty of nuts on the campaign trail , but you don't legitimize them if you are a responsible news agency. However, NBC news gave the Clinton guy airtime...cut to Holeman....cut to Hannity:
Hannity: Holeman claims the confrontation got physical, but the Clinton campaign denies it. Joining us now to tell us his side of what happened is Barack Obama supporter Robert Holeman, thank you for being with us.
O'Reilly: but you don't legitimize them if you are a responsible news agency.
O'Reilly would certainly qualify as a nut on the campaign trail.

BillO attacks NBC as not being a "credible news" service because they gave plenty of air time to the Bill Clinton/Obama supporter dust up. It's a minor story on the campaign trail, but as usual the media craves to go after Bill. it wasn't that long ago when a person would need to sign a loyalty pledge to get into a GOP event. Too bad BillO didn't check to see what FNC's GOP attack dog, Sean Hannity was up to immediately following The Factor. Did he really believe Sean would let this one pass? C&L's billw spliced two segments together for us.

Oh Bill...will you never learn?
Frist?
Not to worry, It's all about the short attention span!
O'Reilly just laughs all the way to the bank... he doesn't really care about anything other than be controversial... the more people make a big deal out of him (Crooks n Liars) the more he laughs all the way to the bank... i am sure it is all a joke to him...
Phillip @ 3:
I'm starting to think the entire Faux Network agrees with you. Time after time they lie, spin, or make up shit and when caught? Shrug.
O'Reilly:
..........and not being a responsible news agency, we have no idea how this s&%t is suppose to work..........we obfuscate.......you follow...........
If a donkey tells me something and then 30 minutes later a male dog tells me something that contradicts it, should I follow the advise of the ass, or should I follow the advise of the son of a bitch?
Or.....maybe I should just stop listening to either of them and spend my time with smart people instead.
John McCain was born in Panama.
John McCain, Wrong for America.
Phillip @ 3:
Of course. Rupert Murdoch latched onto the whole "controversial/bullshit = ratings" gag years ago and has since spawned the likes of O'Reilly, Coulter, Ingraham, Hannity and all the others. Same reason Coulter said she'd stump for Hillary. Everyone knows she's full of shit and will fall in line come the national campaign season. She just sold a few more books by getting the camera back on her. Same deal with all the rest of the Fox shills. But the overall effect is this kind of thing is not only condoned in America, but also glorified. Are we teaching our children that you get paid when you lie? That's the sad state of affairs in our country. Lies = money. Truth = you're outed and crucified. Yet, these are the same people who claim to be the guardians of the American morals.
*sighs*...
Bill O'Reilly reminds me of the guy who snitched to the teacher and then when asked if he's a rat he starts shrieking about that being such an unfair accusation.
The douche the douche the douche is on fire
We don't need no water let the falafel lover burn...
:)
That's all. I didn't watch the vid; don't need to sully my beautiful mind with Billo's crap today.
Well, Dild O'Reilly said it.
Fox News is NOT a responsible news agency.
With nothing substantive to detract from an Obama presidency, there will be a thousand flecks of mud cast by his opponents on a daily basis. Will someone with a stronger stomach for compiling these things please take note? A few so far are: his middle name, a school in Indonesia, the "cult" scare, the "Hitler was a great speaker too" and the "plagiarisim" charge.
ConcernedCanuck @ 4:
They are following the same script as the neocons.
Bonkers @ 10:
Me neither! Beck, Hannity and Bill'O are all in the No Spine Zone and I can't stomach a word of it.
i guess o'reilly doesn't watch FOX.
On the other hand, Bill C ain't exactly helping Hillary.
I figured it out. BillO is senile. He thinks he's still anchoring for "Inside Edition".
HAHAHAHAHAHA. What an arsehole billo is.
Just the sound of his voice plus all the hand gestures makes me puke.
Thankfully, this was a short clip.
Fox has become far more trustworthy that MSNBC.
Of course no one made mention that Bill Clinton stood up to a anti abortion nutcase which took a lot of nerve because we all know those people aren't dealing with a full deck.
Now...reverse this story.
Obama would have stood up to a Clinton supporter and an extreme anti abortion activist.....................
The liberal blogs and MSNBC would have given him the Nobel Peace Prize today.
Why can't we just play fair?
I just watched Dan Burton defending our Cuban embargo policy on Hardball . . . one of the bad things that the Cubans have done according to Congressman/Senator? Burton is "operating a gulag down there".
If MSNBC would please give me a job as TV News host, I know that I could come up with a couple of good follow-up questions per week.
Jeeeez
One of THE most hysterical things in life, in fact in all of time, is whenever Fox News does a story on other News Orgs or people wondering if they are "credible". Don't they realize that the 25% is gonna die off, not be replaced, and that Fox News will be, uh, sans viewers?

Our Gulag is much nicer than Fidel's
Jack Jett @ 19:
Blogs award the Nobel Peace Prize? Today?
Try to make sense,
Has there been any other Presidential administration in the US that had their very own propaganda tv station? How about any other political party that had their very own propaganda tv station?
Just listened to some white haired guy and some chick rip Michelle Obama to shreds for what she said yesterday in her speech. Something like, for the first time in her life she felt really proud to be an American with her husband running for office. They tried to call Michelle a "blame America first" person. Hell, not one of the commenters was a black lady so how in the hell do they know what Michelle feels right now. Some on the show said that Michelle owes an apology to the country.
I guess BillO will pick this up tonight and screw with it too.
Just think, if bill clinton had just walked away there wouldn't have been a story. One of the problems with the clintons is that if you attack them they attack back without even thinking about it. They learned how to fight but not how to pick their battles.
If you ever want to see Stewart at his comic best watch the interview he gave to Billo on his own show. I swear to you he had a skewer up O'Reilly's ass and an apple in his mouth and just slowly cranked the handle over an open flame, I tried to understand from the video if Bill was aware he was getting pwned and come to the conclusion that much of it is an act that has now become who he is, the BillO show, and he knows he's a buffoon.
However, Stewart's lampooning of him was nothing short of hilarious.
Does this qualify for Olberman's Worst Persons?
Oh, I cannot wait until 8:45 PM!
That guy was like a troll in the crowd. Bill's best plan would have been to ignore him, just as we mostly do here. The troll guy won because he got Bill's ire up and got a reaction from him. That's exactly what the guy wanted and Bill shouldn't have allowed him to have it.
Don't you people understand? Whatever conservatives do is good, and whatever liberals do is bad, even if it is the same action. You'd think after 8 years with this administration that we would know that by now.
pissed off patricia @ 28:
You stated your case much more clearly than I but we both ended up in the same place.
Bill(shit) O'Reilly is usually busy making a fool out of himself and now he's doing so to his employer... what's it gonna take to fire his a$$?!

I hear that the food is just marvelous at our gulag
"However, NBC news gave the Clinton guy airtime"
This Holeman guy was not important. What was important was when, on Super Bowl Sunday, Bill Clinton said to Bill Richardson: "Pass the guacamole'.
Fox was the only one who reported this.
Dallas Morning News just broke the Sibel Edmonds story . . . you know, the FBI translator who over-heard state department officials selling military secrets and dope . . . . Waxman won't call a hearing for her and the other whistle blowers because he has to make baseball safe for children.

no real issue here. after all, hannity has never been confused or accused of working for a "responsible news agency." and neither hannity or o'really have been accused or confused with intelligent free thinking humans.
"O’Reilly would certainly qualify as a nut on the campaign trail."
haha, nice one john
i sometimes just wish those secret service agents would have beat the hell out of o'reilly - i love how obama is just ignoring foxnews
two debates coming up on MSNBC and CNN - Fox much watch from the sidelines - I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT
oh man, great clips.
I feel bad for Bill O'Liely because clearly he belongs in the Guinness Book of World Records for the person who has put his foot in his mouth the most times.
So every time any thing pertaining to the Clintons surface they BLAME THE CLINTONS. Now they obama sh*theads are following the Clintons around trying to bait them. What kind of people are they. But if they support the cult leader obama must not be much to them to begin with.
But you don't see Hillary supporters following obama around and heckling and baiting them. So reasonable people know the difference. I guess obama put them up to it, after all if anybody in Hillary's campaign says anything the least bit negative about obama they blame here PERSONALLY.
If anyone would know what circling-the-drain low class is, it would be Billious O'MG-he's-disturbed-Reilly.
How would conservatives define a "responsible news agency," for the sake of Bill O'Reilly's comments?
Or is it that conservatives prefer prolefeed for the masses, replete with lies, distortions, half-truths and "junk food" news galore?
oh to be a fly on the wall when O'Reilly and Hannity bump into each other in the hallway. sure, they work for the same propaganda machine, but something tells me that the two biggest egos on Fox hate each other's guts.
Clintons?? I think Hillary Clinton needs to openly apologize to her daughter Chelsea, and the Democratic Party should suspend her from her "job" for the insulting statements she made about Chelsea.
"We also have to reward work more," Clinton told a small group of Ohio residents today. "and by that, I mean, I have people in New York working on Wall Street as investment managers, as hedge fund executives. Under the tax code, they can pay a lower percentage of their income in taxes on $50 million dollars, than a teacher, or a nurse, or a truck driver in Parma pays on $50,000. That's very discouraging to people."
You just feel like, 'wait a minute. I'm working as hard as I can.' All those people you see in your law office. They're working as hard as they can and they feel like they're just getting further and further behind," Clinton said.

The blocker is of the Nazi Brown Shirt type -- merely working for the modern American Gestapo. We can expect more dirty tricks from those that think they own us in their so-called New World Order.
We also know what was done to the Brown Shirt 'boys' after they had served their very limited purpose. Pretty boy blocker, your payback will be a surprise...
billo is such a hypocrite, he did much the same.
billo gets jealous of his own dump.......as in outhouse variety
it's a lot smarter than he is by 70 IQ points.
it wasn’t that long ago when a person would need to sign a loyalty pledge to get into a GOP event.
Ironically enough, in WA, Republicans have to sign a loyalty oath to the Republican party (and an oath to vote for the Republican candidate of choice) in order for their vote to be counted in the primary.
pissed off patricia @ 24:
The only people I want to hear apologies from, are the Fox-type neonuts who destroyed America - as they lied their way to the bank. And from the mood of the country, it better be one hell of an apology. As for the wingnut fake outrage? They outta be thankful we haven't tarred and feathered the parasitic SOB's.
The real story is, Bill Clinton really does look like his is going to go postal soon.

John McCain denounced America.................................
John McCain denounce America when the truth was tortured out of him. After all even McCain admits tht you get only the truth out of someone when torturing them. That is why McCain voted for torture, right? John feels you get truth from torture. So McCain must have had those Ameica denouncing feeling in him all along.
Could you imagine what ugly truths would come out of Bill O if he were tortured? Hmmmmmm?
Putz! O'Liely is a PUTZ
Just ignore him.

Doesn't a Presidential candidate have to be born in the US of A - Panama is not the US of A
Poor O'Falafel. He's such a joke.
I hate neo-cons, and conservative suck up pundits, and now I'm hating far-left 'progressives' who stick up for a guy attacking his own party.
Ideology? Not Present.

After what republicans and the worst liberals have done to him and Hillary, I can say I don't blame him.
