Bill O’Reilly Returns From 4-Day Hospital Stay, Vows ‘I’m Coming Right at You’ in Fiery Take on Minnesota Crisis

Bill O’Reilly returned to his “No Spin News” show on Monday after announcing last week that he was stepping back to deal with an undisclosed “malady,” giving a fiery take on the crisis in Minnesota that he called an “open rebellion.”

In a column posted on his website billoreilly.com, O’Reilly disclosed that his four-day hospitalization was due to “a hereditary condition involving internal bleeding” that “took me down temporarily.” He did not give further details on his Monday show, saying only “I’m going out on my shield, so you’re not keeping me down until I’m in the grave.”

The former Fox News host was visibly more fired up than usual, adding, “I had to be on today because we are witnessing one of the most important stories in my entire lifetime of 50 years in journalism — the Minnesota rebellion.”

Rebellion it is then! With all the planning, funding and comms it sure fits. Besides it sounds way more sexy than insurrection.

Yeah it’s bad but these kind of stunts and stories aren’t going away. Take care of your health and your family, Bill.

O’Reilly lost me when he wrote the diatribe against Nathan Bedford Forrest using misinformation and false data to support his hypothesis that Forrest was evil. His chapter was so off base and fictitious that the MSM would applaud his efforts.

I usually agree with Bill O’Rielly and watch him sometimes, but I still don’t like him though because he comes across as an arrogant New York a-hole. I wish him well with his health issues though.

Bombastic at times but that style gets peoples’ attention. He digs deeper and focuses on identifying agendas better than most other so-called journalists, who in reality only want to deceive and manipulate viewers.

I wish him well and hope he beats whatever malady he’s fighting. He’s a voice we need to counter the Left’s near total domination of the media.

Hehehe. He looks like my dad....Thanks for the link.

I always enjoyed Bill Oreilly’s work. He is a very good author and his “killing” series is excellent. I really enjoyed his take down of that clown, Al Franken.

Yeah, he couldn’t quite totally eliminate that New York accent when he was in Texas.
