Barry Nolan calls Bill O'Reilly a 'mental case' and is bringing Olbermann to the rescue
By John Amato Thursday Apr 10, 2008 7:00pm
I think I found a new hero....Mr. Nolan shows some common sense I'd say. You go Barry! Kinda reminds me of the good old Al Franken days. (h/t DavidS)
I'm sure BillO will send his camera goons to track him down and harrass him.
CN8’s Barry Nolan says Fox News bigfoot Bill O’Reilly is “a mental case,” and Nolan’s crazy mad that the local Emmy Awards will honor Mr. No Spin Zone at their 31st annual back-slapfest next month.
“I am appalled, just appalled,” Nolan told the Track. “He inflates and constantly mangles the truth . . . and his frequent target is the ‘left-leaning’ media - the ones who do report the news fairly. And those are the same people who will be sitting in the room honoring him.”
“This is who you should aspire to be like? Is this what we’re telling them?” he fumed.
Despite his reservations about his fellow Boston TV veteran, Nolan claims he will go to the May 10 shindig at the Marriott Copley Place to support his CN8 comrades...read on
UPDATE: Think Progess says: Nolan plans to attend the May 10 ceremony, and he’s invited Keith Olbermann as his date.
Now I would pay to see Olbermann show up and confront O'Reilly. Can anyone find me a ticket? Pretty please?

You go, Mr. Nolan, and take Olbermann, whose very presence will make O'Reilly livid.
Oh holy gods, I think I just jizzed my pants in joy!
Will SOMEBODY put the video from the event on youtube...PLEASE!
I think Keith ought to go up and congratulate him and shake his hand. Now, that's a picture that I'd pay good money for... unless of course someone "blocks the shot."
I can just see Keith now ... "Is that a Peabody in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
Olbermann has been at events with Billo before.
Chances are Keith will act with class and Billo will spend the night giving him dirty looks from across the room.
Billo isn't a mental case, he's just an arrogant, self-absorbed, narcistic, bellicose, meglomaniac, Hmm... I thimk he has a point.
SEXUAL PREDATOR needs to go back the A Current Edition or whatever crap.
So now propaganda qualifies as political conversation.
Honoring O'Rally the sexual predator, serial liar, and delusional right-wing propogandist. And that's the NO SPIN zone today!
Why would any organization want to honor a man who makes millions telling falsehoods, spinning, propagandizing, and basically turning the country against itself with his divisive venomous slop? One might add race baiter to his resume also. One can argue that O'Reilly is successful, but look how he got successful?! Doesn't that count for anything?
Yes, Keith, go. Please go. If anything just to make O'Reilly squirm.
:)
I second the choice for Barry to invite Olbermann as his date. However, I doubt even the Copley would be large enough to contain two such bloviating big mouths in the same room at the same time. Olbermann has become the O'Reilly of the left in the last few months and they both suffer from swollen egos. A face off may be just the ticket to rid the airwaves of their biased views. Neither one is interested in delivering the news. It is all about them. Go for it.
Bluestater @ 10:
It would even be greater if they would invite Keith to speak at the event.
Ron @ 12:
LOL! Yes, that would be great!
And, Pat J @ 11, Olbermann is head and shoulders a far better JOURNALIST and PERSON than O'Reilly can ever dream of being. They both have egos, but don't blur the two. Watch both programs for their first half hour and tell me which one is actually talking about this country's leaders and policies, etc., and which one is showing some teen get beat up.
Wah?
I don't know what this post is supposed to be about....Who Barry Nolan or CN8 is.
This seems like way, way inside blog-o-sphere stuff. Zzzzzzzzzzz.
Wow Amato, that’s really earth shattering piece of news????
This post is a perfect illustration why the American electorate doesn't vote for left wing romper room adolescents.
P.S. Maybe Olbermann can try taking baby steps before he tries confronting someone in public. The first step would be having someone on his TV program with a different point of view.
Massala @ 15:
Yea these are the same people that complain about MSM's coverage of current events!!
Bill's going to open up a can on Kieth
Massala @ 15:
Actually it's nice to be able to watch a news show that has guests on that know WTF they are talking about. Faux, not so.
Ron @ 17:
If you are talking about Olbermann...... care to buy a bridge?
Massala @ 18:
Why, do you have your bridge to nowhere for sale already? Sorry, I'm not looking for one.
I think someone should award falafel boy a blueberry pie at the ceremony. I'm sure he'd wear it well.
moondancer @ 20:
See my previous remarks.....
the American electorate doesn’t vote for left wing romper room adolescents.
Massala @ 21:
You speak for the American electorate? You're a typical reich-winger.
I was an Olbermann fan until he started wearing the "team Obama" shirt and somehow misplaced his objectivity. I am assuming we are all dems here and I know we want only to chose the right candidate in November. But Hillary bashing only alienates her supporters and I seriously question how we all come together in the general when sexism trumped racism overall. No one wants to hear the negativity day and night regarding their chosen candidate. We expect that from the Repubs but when its your own side its a huge turnoff. Coming from O'Reilly or Hannity would not be surprising but coming from KO it turned me off. And MSNBC devotes its entire schedule to putting her down. Like her or not, she is a candidate and illustrating the differences should not include her clothes, hair, laugh, clap, mothering, wrinkles, flab, etc. that seems to be par for the course.
Dr. Hussein Matt @ 22:
reich-winger???
P.S. it’s a capital R in Reich.
Now that's original. I never said that I did. I do know that they find pie throwing by either party childish. But if that is your way of impressing people, please be my guest. I'll save you a seat at the McCain inaugural.
Massala @ 24:
So, you do "think" you speak for the masses.....you're a typical reich-winger. Thanks for proving that to all of us.
Keep having your hissy fit, it's quite amusing but expected from the reich-wing.
Massala @ 24:
Not only do you "think" you speak for the masses, but you also "think" you're in some sort of position to save seats at presidential inaugurations!! ROFL!!! You reich-wing GOPigs get more delusional by the day. Thanks for the chuckle, sport.
Dr. Hussein Matt @ 25:
Is all you can come up with is ad hominem and invectives? You are embarrassing the website and yourself. Please come back when you have a little more acumen.
I am just trying to understand how throwing a pie as someone is constructive????
Massala @ 27:
I'm still trying to understand how you and your ilk think that anything that Faux or this adminstration has done is constructive.
Massala @ 27:
Come on, seat saver, tell us again how “think” you’re in some sort of position to save seats at presidential inaugurations!! L O L! ! !
Pleeeaaaasseeeee!!!! Just once more?
Hey, seat saver, can you get me a seat on the aisle? Do you have any club level presidential inauguration seats?
Ron @ 28:
How much time do you have? I am feeling benevolent.
Massala @ 31:
Get started.
Dr. Hussein Matt @ 29:
I have actually attended one. Have you?
seat saver @ 31:
Will the tickets be waiting at will call?
Massala @ 33:
ROFL!!!! Suuuuuure you have. I've been to 3 myself.
So, will the tickets be sent via a pdf file or is there a will call?
Ron @ 32:
Instead, name 3 things that Faux and this administration have done to benefit this country. Then explain how it benefited the country.
I hope seat saver is a new reich-wing troll that visits regularly.
Dr. Hussein Matt @ 37:
He/she doesn't really have anything to say that's relevant.
Ron @ 38:
Not a single reich-winger ever does.
I wonder if Olbermann will give another seig heil salute at this event?
Dr. Hussein Matt @ 39:
I knew that. LOL.
Ron @ 38:
But, she has done a brilliant job of plagiarizing her reich-wing heros, Insean Vannity, Bathtub Head Gibby, and O'Racist.
Ron @ 36:
First, Fox News is a cable news network like CNN and MSNBC. I was not aware that any of their corporate charters include anything about "benefiting" the country.
Maybe you can point me to a link stating something to the contrary.
Ron @ 41:
Pot meet kettle.
Massala @ 43:
Is that all you have?
Dr. Hussein Matt @ 42:
I have just a quick question to the both of you. Would either of you please tell me how many presidential elections you have voted in? I am just trying to get a sense of your political experience.
Ron @ 45:
No, I was just pointing out that the three entities I mentioned are news outlets and not 501 C-3's.
I’m still trying to understand how you and your ilk think that anything that Faux or this adminstration has done is constructive.
How much time do you have? I am feeling benevolent.
You are the one that said you could enlighten us.

Poor Bill O'Reilly, being called a mental case, by nearly everyone and his/her dog.
Barry Nolan needs to calm down and hate the game; not the player. Bill O'Reilly piles up the Emmy Awards because the viewing public chooses to watch his show by a very wide margin over his cable news competitors. Billo dominates his time slot night after night, week after week. month after month, year after year. If Nolan's got a beef he should confront the TV audience. It aint Billo's fault he kicks the ratings crap out of CNN & MSNBC. American cable news viewers, with remote clickers in hand, hold a nightly referendum. They choose the No Spin Zone by an overwhelming majority.
Proof the emmy awards are a joke.
Yes the viewing public as we know really likes American Idol, Dancing with the Stars and Survivor and Bill Moyers numbers are lower. So I guess that means Moyers has no talent?
People like to watch BO they same way they can't turn away from a car crash. You know it is going to be horrible but you can't avert your eyes.
That Bill has high numbers does not attest to his talent or journalist ability--- he is darn good fun with a can a beer and some chips- top it with some ice cream to dull the pain and he might even make sense.
Bill is the axis of Evil... the center of a mediocre storm of journalist trash.
I stick with Bill Moyers and I think KO would be a much better date then BO-- I don't like loofa's or falafels...
What is CN8?
He'll never get hemorrhoids: he's such a perfect asshole.
I never watch BillO videos, but I always like this Godzilla picture. He's just way too much blah blah blah, to ruin my day (life).
We know Biil O is a nut case but what about the mentality of those who tune in every night to watch this pompous idiot ? That is the mind blower !
You know the moron is a mental case & mangles the truth, but you will attend an event to be a part of the crowd which honors him ??
Am I missing something here ???
Koom @ 58:
You got it in one Koom. Its the nutters who watch the beligerant, homophobic, racist, crank that blows his ego into a gigantic balloon. problem with a loon like billy willy oo he actually thinks and believes he is brilliant, sad sad billy. But he has a bank balance that means he doesnt give a stuff. Murdoch has a lot to answer for. Interesting here in Australia, the Murdoch media outlets have swung amazingly behind new PM Kevin Rudd, with a couple of exceptions. Australia has its mini Billo's in Piers (wobbly jowls) Akerman and Andrew (sad sack) Bolt. They dont dare be as big mouthed as Satins brother O'Reilly, but conservative right wing they surely are.
I can't understand this. I don't believe it.
I've accepted that O'Reilly is a prattling, old, arrogant fool whose ratings don't reflect what he seems to think they are. That he would be championed by others on FOX News is no surprise either. But being honoured at the Emmys? Certainly the Emmys are far from the pinnacle of integrity in television, but Christ! O'Reilly? Really?
billy's probably gonna suck the crust out of mcSHIT STAIN's asshole after the emmys
BillO is a mental case but even Bush and Limbaugh are Nobel peace price nominees?!
It is clear that mental illness has been running rampant all across the world for many years now. Amazing what money can do.
Jericho @ 63:
Those stories were bullshit, Amato even made a spoof thread about it here, that he was nominated, and people even bought it.
Billo a "mental case"? Duh. I should think this would be obvious to anyone with three hours of what used to be called "abnormal psychology." (Yeah, I'm showing my age here.) He has what shrinks call a "Messianic complex." His ego is so inflated, he actually believes he can micromanage the whole world, rather like a deity. In effect, Billo thinks he is God. Some day, he's liable to pop: blow a gasket, ex- or implode, go totally bonkers, stark raving mad. When this happens, he will tip his hand and the whole world we be in on the joke. He's come close a number of times, so the big day may be at hand.
Whaaa!
And less than a month after Sean Hannity was invited to speak at a Martin Luther King memorial.
Will James Dobson be marching as honorary Grand Marshal at this years gay pride parade?
It is all just a dream and I will wake up soon...................
SFnomad @ 4:
Thanks... Now my screen is dirty with coffee...
Massala @ 49:
I for one am now convinced McCain will beat ANY Dem because of the brilliant links you provide from.....
*** the official web site for the White House and President George W. Bush***
Ya they are the ones to convince me of the "truth". Of course they would never spin things to try and fool the masses....
McCain.....hahahahahahaha....I can't WAIT til Obama gets ahold of that sorry ass old cobb....Give it up foo'...McCain AINT happenin' his age WILL become THE issue...
Jan 11, 2006 ... For example, in the U.S. male life expectancy was 73.4 years.....
As far as the problem with congress approval it is because of too many REPUBLICANS....not really gonna be a problem for long when all we have to fight is 30%ers like yourself.
Come with some substance or go back to redstate.You can wait and dream in your imaginary saved seat...save me one.....I'll be there.
The Emmy's do not honor substance, but for how popular or how much money something makes. Bill, while a mental case who offers nothing of substance to American politics or news, sure does have a large following.
I have watched barry on local cable several times in the past few years....he is a left wing nutjob!!! Nolan is just making comments like this to attract some attention to his fading career. O'Reilly blows him away when it comes to pure and natural TV talent!!!! He is plain and simply a "dumb" person....pretty much like anyone who would seriously throw their vote away on Osama Obama...DUMB DUMB DUMB!!!
