Bill O'Reilly uses his own internet poll to absolve himself of his cowardly actions against Helen Thomas
The absurdity that is known as Bill O'Reilly continues to get more absurd with each passing day if you can believe that. C&L wrote about BillO's mean spirited attack on Helen Thomas after she asked a question that he deemed ridiculous to President Obama during his first national press conference. He called the plus-eighty year old Thomas a witch and an old woman.
He took so much heat for it that he lied about what he actually said: O'Reilly flat-out lies to defend calling Helen Thomas the 'wicked witch'
On Monday's Factor, he used an online poll that came from his own website which was voted on for the most part by his followers that said he shouldn't have to apologize to her by a 93-7% margin as some sort of rationalization that the PC police are dead. And then linked a completely irrelevant protest to make his case. No, seriously. He's delusional.
Now last week, you may remember, I made fun of Helen Thomas for asking a dopey question at the first presidential press conference.
Well, soon after that, the far-left kooks cranked up, and a women's group demanded that I, your humble correspondent, apologize to Ms. Thomas.
So I asked you about that, and the results are in. About 75,000 folks voted. Big number in our BillOReilly.com poll. A whopping 93 percent say I should not apologize to Helen. Only 7 percent say I should.
Now, according to a Pew study, 47 percent of people watching "The Factor" are women. So that's not good news for the left-wing women's group. And about 50 percent of "Factor" viewers are either independents or Democrats. More bad news for the far-left loons.
So what I'm getting from this is that many Americans are fed up with out of control PC nonsense, and there is plenty of it around.
Mary Katherine Ham actually tells him that his poll is meaningless but his spin is that normally they are, like 75% usually would have voted in his favor, but the higher percentage proves that it's accurate and he turns that around into some nonsense that since half of his crowd are women, then it's OK that he made fun of her. If you look at his own site it says this about the Bill O'Reilly polls.
Please note that this poll is not scientific. Only one vote per poll per visitor is accepted.
His own poll refutes his own talking point. The jokes write themselves. I can understand why NPR asked FOX to pull their association off of Juan Williams when describing him on Bill O to their viewers.
NPR’s vice president of news, Ellen Weiss, "has asked Williams to ask that Fox remove his NPR identification whenever he is on O’Reilly." A Fox spokesperson reportedly said they would be thrilled to drop the mention of NPR. Fox responded: "We were actually doing NPR a favor by even plugging them but we have no problem dropping the mention on the chyron along with their exposure to millions of O’Reilly Factor viewers."
In fact Eric Boehlert writes: Isn't Juan Williams violating NPR's code of ethics?
In this clip Williams acts once again like O'Reilly's puppy and defends him almost with a religious fervor. He's an embarrassment. Juan, are they really paying you that much for you to sell your soul to Bill?
that should be the wicked witch of the west. points off there. the wicked witch of the east never said anything in the film.
given that mix up, i'll take a pass on the mccain vids. you'd probably end up showing me a documentary on hoover dam given that they're the same age and all...
When you have to pick on the elderly, you know that you're a hurtin' buckaroo! Bill O, the Human Baboon, does it again. He keeps trumping himself for the worst of the worst.....how much "worster" can this supreme jackass get?
He's got a lot more in store before his head implodes.
Billo ripped into Jeremy Glick, over what Billo knew Mr Glick's dad would think based solely on the fact that Jeremy's dad died in the 9/11 attacks, as if he'd been the guy's best friend. He had to be restrained from assaulting the guy during the break.
He sued Al Franken and was laughed right out of court.
He called Andrea Makris and masturbated while talking dirty to her (she got it on tape) and had to settle to make her go the fuck away.
Yet he still has cred.
And when you look at the Thugs looking at that drug addled gasbag Limbaugh, who continually breaks drug laws with impunity, goes on sex tours with the neighbour's Viagra, mocks crippled children and Parkinson's sufferers, and wants the president to fail, why would these fucks worry about any 'bad rep' PR? Seems to work great for them in their Bizarro World.
me-oww!
How true, and sad. Very very sad.
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
Let's see: 93% of 75,000 is 69750. Which means at least 69750 plus Billo have no conscience or personal shame about mocking an elderly but experienced female reporter and correspondent.
What a self-aggrandizing fool. His poll has no meaning. He's the media equivalent of Joseph McCarthy.

is that 75k of loofa boy's audience knows how to use the internet
thats it
He probably used a phone marketing machine and voted himself 69,000 times. This guy gets uglier everyday. Billo, the real life Dorian Grey.
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
what does he mean that no one can tell an obama joke?
there is a guy on youtube that does a great obama impersonation....gets hundreds of thousands of hits...and he makes fun of obama
loofa boy wasnt doing political satire
he was making fun of thomas as being an old hag
Two things define Bill O'Reilly: personal abuse and self abuse.
..you left out "stupid." Unbelievably stupid.
It's only a matter of time, Billo's inner racist will surface and use some racist term against Obama, or bash the troops, and his career will be done.
"Inner"???
I'm sure billo plays with his own poll alot.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
93% of the time with his right hand.
Andrea Mackris! Andrea Mackris! Andrea Mackris! Andrea Mackris!
Only the "PC Police" would ask that you extend a modicum of respect to this remarkable and courageous woman.
You're not a boor,a specious lout and over grown brow beating punk for refusing to apologize Bill.Not at all...

...westside sportsbar, Billy. A liar, bully, and coward...all his life.
Juan "token good negro" Williams actually compared O'Reilly's mean spiritness to comedic icons Richard Prior and Lenny Bruce. What's it like living a complete lie, Juan? From what I know about "uncle toms" like Williams, if I were white I'd never believe a word that liar says because he has it on automatic to say what he thinks white folks want to hear...O.J Simpson had that talent too. And Bill, political correctness is the down line ramifications from generations of bigoted white people saying whatever they wanted, no matter how hurtful, disrespectful, cruel, nasty to anyone who was different...it's like medication for racists.
In the past, Juan Williams used to at least make an effort once in a while to throw in some argument to Billo's delusions. But of late, I find no disagreement from him. Methinks with the cutbacks at NPR, Mr. Williams is angling for a permanent talking head position with Fox, and sucking on O'Rielly's "ego" is how he is doing it.

Billo ...........You are a shallow cowardly hind, and you lie.
Out of my sight! Thou dost infect my eyes.
You are....Irrelevant---not related, not applicable, unimportant, not connected
LuLu
is about the same false equivalent of liberalism that Alan Colmes was...they're just slightly to the right of KarL Rove; which to Fox is bleeding-heart.
Guess what, Billo? I did my own poll, and 100% of them thought you were full of it.
APOLOGIZE, YOU PRICK!
Apologize? He's not man enough.
justifying his actions in this? I think he might just feel a tad bit guilty...

68% of Bill O'Reilly's audience are over the age of 70.
Of these, 42% are watching in communal lounges in hospitals and retirement villages. Breaking this figure down further, 24% do not have access to a remote control and cannot reach the set-front controls, 9% are deaf and are working on their Sudoku for the day, 8% still can't believe one of Those People is even allowed to be President, and Miss Myrtle Talleyrand has just quietly passed away in a pale cloud of gin fumes and no regrets.
The other 26% are watching in their own homes and of their own volition. 12% voted for that nice young man John McCain, 9% think Bill O'Reilly is that nice young man John McCain, 4% think that nice young man Henry Ford was right about The Jews all along, and Walter MacHinery is watching in the desperate hope that the revulsion he is feeling will enable him to get rid of that embarrassing erection before the widow Ballingham comes round for dinner.

Myrtle Talleyrand!
anxious ER patients. Big screen TV set to FOX. Personnel said they *couldn't* change it. My guess: FOX paid for cable. Also in waiting rooms for what the Hospitals humorously call "tests": FOX. Ug!
That was great. ROFLMAO!
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
One man circle jerk.
Pardon my language.
Go fuck yourself O'Reilly you fucking lying phony asshole.
Little girls, veterans and now and old lady, Bill O is the poster boy for Fox Assholes :)Next up the war on the Middle class for electing a Democrat that hasn't taken a vacation yet.......
O'Reilly would make a great case study in paych. programs as a classic example of a bully. He must have been a real rotten bastard of a kid to be such a rotten bastard of a 60 year old man.
I wonder what a real psychiatrist or mental health expert *would* say about orilly? Any psychiatrist's around?
I'll ask my cousin, she's one. She already did a preliminary diagnosis of my 4 rethug brothers...two of them have most of the primary characteristics of psychopathic personalities. (not all psychopaths are like dahmer or gacy)
Methinks Billo's father beat the crap out of him and the only way for him to exact revenge is to gang up on other, mostly defenseless, people.
just my very unprofessional opinion...
Throw in daddy verbally berating lil' Billy and I think you nailed it.
O'Reilly would evaporate from the airways as he is a douchebag masquerading as a human and the choir that he preaches to, is, well.... (No offense to douchebags) Hard to imagine that anyone thinking with the big head, pays attention to his warped sophmoric point of view. But this is America. Go away Billo.
Almost nothing else explains his behaviour getting weirder, social norms are a mystery to him now.
It could just be that his is rude and just doesnt care anymore...
It must be hell to work with him now in the studio.
...i'd shoot billo an e-mail recommended he shove a giant black dildo up his @$$ -but he's probably already got that covered.

BillO is officially a tired old white guy. The only persons he could sexually harass are women in senior citizens community.
i seriously think billo could figure out a way to sexually harass his own ego.
He's using an internet poll because he got in trouble talking to Andrea Mackris about his telephone "pole."
First of all, everybody knows that to kill a wicked witch of the east, you have to drop a house on her. Water only melts wicked witches of the wild wild west. Where has BillO been all his frigging life?
Personally I think C&L should have an impromptu survey with the same question and compare the results of the two surveys. That would be fun.
...a boor is a boor is a boor.
But i will not apologize for it because 95% of my friends and family members said that i shouldnt. and if you cant believe thats a conclusive majority, then you just dont understand how america thinks.
Anyway, Juan Williams is NPR's attempt to be "inclusive" of many opinions. Whatever, I say. Juan could get by with just the payoffs he got kissing Faux news ass whenever they screw up.
must see:
a most excellent discussion with Laura Flanders on COUNTDOWN tonight...
about the bristol palin interview and the need for real sex ed...
great commentary and insight...
i used to listen to her on AirAmericaRadio... the good ol' days...
We all know what an incredibly mean and ignorant POS Billo is. How about never doing another post on him? Maybe it's time to ignore him, thereby diminishing his power and him in general.
Generally speaking I don't trust anyone making over 150K a year.
...please give it some serious thought. If any of the rest of you agree with me please urge John to boycott any news about this pathetic and irrelevant imbecile.
Generally speaking I don't trust anyone making over 150K a year.
And you should realize that, ignoring cancer is not an approved treatment. BillO is a type of cancer, one that is festering in this country, and the way to beat it is to expose it.

..it to the choir which does little if any good. People who think Billo is the shizzle sure as hell don't come here in any significant numbers IMHO.

Where is Senator Franken goddamnit?

Bill O'Reilly is:
A. a pompous ass
B. a dickhead
C. a prick
D. all of the above
I say D, how about you?
Bill was wrong to use a poll to decide on an apology. He made his remarks & should stand by the remarks. Helen Thomas is a stegosaurus holdover from the the long dead but still stinking newspaper era. She should be mulched with the NY Times, bulldozed into the earth & never spoken of without a seance.
We have the most inexperienced, educated to stupidity, moron of a president ever in the history of the world because dumbshit morons like Helen Thomas. She refused to ask any difficult questions of any Democrat canidiate. If our country survives the next four years, we need to expect some intelligence from the reporting classes.
After 8 years of Bush, this is what you have to say?
It boggles the mind of rational individuals.
All I can say is: ROFL!
Good joke, dude! Omg, you had me seriously going there for a second, thinking you were serious and everything...
But now I see it for the satire it is!! And I LOL
If this poll is supposed to be saying that "Americans are fed up with out of control PC nonsense" for what he said, then...well...he must have said it. Is he saying that it's okay to say such things, or did he not say them at all? What a dick.
Every one I know says that I have the best political blog on the internet.
Only thing is, I don't have a blog.
Go figure.
As we old folks are wont to do:
We remind “youngsters” of things that are quite obvious to all as a way of saying “Don’t forget, blah blah blah.”
It’s a time tested way of reinforcing the facts, to get them to outwardly respond and thereby “making it real.”
Helen Thomas asked Obama if he thought Pakistan had Taliban fighters and then emphasized the other fact that they also had nukes.
This method of instilling wisdom and reinforcing reality by inviting comment went right over Billo’s head of course. She is a clever old gal. Not only did she paint the reality of possible Taliban possession of nukes but also pointed to the fact that “others” in the region are in possession of nukes as well, i.e. Israel , raising the sobering specter of a horrific conflict with Iran, Pakistan, and let’s not forget India.
To paraphrase my dear lady, if I may: “Obama, my son, would you please comment on the extremely dangerous situations facing the world in those regions?”
And finally, as concerns the fool which is O’Reilly, I wish to mention that I come from one of those “patriotic” Fox-watching red states where, if you refer to someone’s mother as a witch, you get knocked on your fat ass instantly, regardless of whether you are the town’s idiot or the banker’s son, or both.
you made fun of helen because you realized at your age you're never going to see the inside of a white house press room because you just don't have what it takes.
you'll never be half the woman helen is billo.
This is fairly amusing to me. I've watched the question of Helen Thomas, and O'Reilly calling her an old woman and said her vocal chords reminded him of the wicked witch of the East.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgYukk9zPJ8
Here's a snapshot clip of the witch cackling, and after some careful back and forth comparisons... No, she's not the wicked witch of the East. She is however, AN OLD WOMAN. It's interesting you missed that fact. She's like 80 years old, that's the definition of an old woman.
As for his online poll, we should do an online poll here, I bet we'll get 7% saying he should also tell the old woman to shove it. But how could that happen? Not because this site has a specific target audience or anything, and the poster's don't realize this and upload things that will fall into that audiences likes. Everyone knows how bipartisan this site is, it's almost like Obama's new bill. Or can I not poke fun at how non-bipartisan it is? Will you guys get offended at that too?

[Deleted. Off topic-Sitemonitor]
If put a sock in it Bill0 wasn't one of the options then the poll was totally unfair.
Well then, tsuka, is it her being old that made it okey dokey for him to mock her? Or her being a woman? Or perhaps one needs to be both for mockery to be acceptable to asshats?
Well you my friend are an random person on the internet, probably breaking your arm patting yourself on the back over the obviously witty post you've made, and listening to the latest Obama interview and cranking one out. I'm happy to poke fun at any of these kind things if you wish. But mockery comes with many forms, obvious things are fun to jest about. And I do admire the subtle name calling you threw in there at me. I'm sure you're giggling right now and telling your friends about the troll you just slew. You are after all quite a remarkable person. ;)
Less appealing than vomit.

So, I can ask 50 of my closest friends as to whether I'm a good friend or not and when I come back with positive feed back, then that's proof that my 47 friends approve of me as being good and close.
What...? The missing three? I'm sorry, that's a revision. I've always had 47 close friends. The other three were wannabe's. They don't qualify anymore...

Starve the WAR Beast...

O.K. Let me see if I understand...
Helen Thomas has been a member of the White House Press Corp(s) through how many more presidents than Bill-doh O'Liely has ever sat in on? So that makes her a wicked witch? Oh, it's not her, per say, you say? It's her investigative instinct as a journalist to seek out answers that are based in the reality at hand? So, this poses a problem for Bill-doh?
Is it the journalism or the investigative-ness that Bill-doh feels threatened by? Obviously he's compensating here, or he would be in there, investigating the facts for himself so that he can use his journalistic talents to report on it, NO?
.
Starve the WAR Beast...
... Feed Americans.
What a wuss. O'Reilly acts like some tough, muckracking journalist but he doesn't have the guts to stand behind what he says. Loser.
Billo and his nutcase followers on all fours, in a single line, nose-to ass.
What caring, educated person would lower themselves and watch the uneducated, irrelevant, lying cowards on Faux Noise anymore???
Reslugs are a dying breed and we must limit them from destroying future gene pools.
