Bill O’Reilly came under criticism from the Obama administration this week for stating that Jen Psaki, spokesperson for the State Department, “looks way out of her depth” and that “just the way she delivers, she doesn’t look like she has the gravitas for the job.” The criticism was delivered by Psaki’s deputy, Marie Harf, who claimed that O’Reilly’s comments are sexist because she doesn’t “actually [doesn't] think [he] would ever use [those words] about a man.” O’Reilly’s actions are “not ok,” Harf lectured. Harf, who makes Psaki look intellectually hefty, should think again. O’Reilly has used similar words to disparage...

Recently, Al Sharpton responded to claims that he had once asked Bill O’Reilly to donate to benefit his Harlem charity. According to O’Reilly, he donated $25,000 to the organization. So you can imagine his surprise when he found out that Sharpton had called him “racist and a brutalizer of the poor.” “When Mr. O’Reilly started attacking me after my question of the Zimmerman verdict, he started talking about the grievance industry and that I was a ‘racial huckster,’ never telling people he knew better and that he was a contributor of mine,” Sharpton recently told the Washington Post. “If I...

From this topic - "What did Kerry just say?" - henkster states " Sure, he likes big government, and that’s no surprise. I don’t read too much into this. Consider the source. Kerry is just rambling because he likes to sound like he’s saying something profound. It’s more proof, as if any were needed, that he’s an idiot. The purpose of this conference is to convince African leaders of that, if they didn’t already know. A couple days ago on BORs program, Brit Hume makes the statement that Kerry is a smart guy. I hear this all the time from...

Besides claiming to be fair and balanced FOX's resident windbag, Bill O'Reilly, claims Obama's long form birth certificate is legitimate. And just how did he accumulate the expertise to become a document examiner? Bill skipped the years of training required and simply asked Heather Nauert. Heather's affirmative reply was all it took to convince fair and balanced Bill that the FOX's Resident Windbag Claims Prez's Phony Docs Are Legitimate FOX's Resident Windbag Claims Prez's Phony Docs Are Legitimate Prez's docs are legitimate. Apparently he wasn't aware that numerous computer experts and an Arizona sheriff's posse have convincing evidence that the...

Megyn Kelly responded to the Hobby Lobby freakout by liberal woman’s activist Sandra Fluke, by saying this is not a “war on women” as Fluke says it is. “This is about the attempted war on the religious right.” Fluke is intentionally publicizing false facts about the result of the Hobby Lobby decision to cause a stir. She forgets to mention that this is a decision upheld by a democratic order that was introduced into Congress by Bill Clinton, that states that due to religious beliefs, companies do not have to abide by all of Obamacare’s mandates. Hobby Lobby in this...

News host Bill O’Reilly’s fourth book in his multimillion-selling history series will examine the mysterious death surrounding famed World War II Gen. George Patton.

O'Reilly just said.. and I quote "Obama has helped me help Veterans. I think he genuinely cares about them" Really???? You think he gives a DAMN about Veterans??? He was told there was a problem BEFORE he was elected. SIX YEARS AGO! And he didn't lift a damn finger. Suck it O'Reilly!! The only Veterans O'Bama cares about are Muslim.. and living in the Middle East. Get a frickin' clue O'Reilly

Bill O’Reilly said there’s no question that the White House misrepresented the Sept. 11, 2012, terror attack in Benghazi. Five days after the attack, then-Ambassador Susan Rice told the world that the attack was not pre-planned and was a spontaneous reaction to a YouTube video. “That was not true, that was not even close to being true,” O’Reilly said. According to a White House memo obtained by Judicial Watch, Ben Rhodes sent an email to prep Rice about the attack, listing the following two goals:

When the story broke about the feds going to Nevada, to make a rancher pay grazing fees, my staff did what it always does. We researched and found out the facts and those are these. That rancher Cliven Bundy broke the law for many years by not paying the fees, that the federal government owns the land and that the State of Nevada readily admits the feds have jurisdiction in the grazing controversy. Those are the facts. So, we presented them to you and then mildly criticized the feds for overreacting. You may remember, Judge Napolitano and I basically said...

The Fox News host grills a member of the militia movement on why it's OK for Bundy to break the law but not OWS.To a significant degree, American politics is a story of insiders vs. outsiders, so it’s inevitable that people among the latter group would be lumped together, even if they’re quite different by any other measure. Still, it’s probably fair to say that when most people think of Nevada renegade rancher Cliven Bundy, the Zuccotti Park protesters of Occupy Wall Street don’t immediately — or eventually — come to mind. Yet on the Tuesday night edition of his...

Fox Host Bill O'Reilly on Wednesday claimed that he could have been the Marlboro Man. "While I was covering the News in Denver, I was approached by a modeling agency to be the Marlboro guy dressed as a cowboy," he said on the "O'Reilly Factor" while lamenting the lack of a public health campaign warning about the dangers of weed. He lauded the U.S. government's campaign against smoking tobacco, but said that the U.S. has taken the opposite approach to pot. "Smoking marijuana is quite the opposite. That’s on the rise, as pot use is considered cool in many...

Fox News' host Bill O'Reilly has devoted many broadcasts of this TV show, "The O'Reilly Factor," to what he believes are problems in the black community. O'Reilly, who has blamed black crime on black, unwed mothers, interviewed Kentucky Wildcats basketball coach John Calipari last night about controlling his black players, notes Salon.com (video below). According to New York Magazine, during the interview, O'Reilly asked Calipari, "I don't know if you listen to this rap stuff and the hip-hop stuff, but it has coarsened. Has that changed their attitude? How do you impose discipline on kids who are gonna do what...

Fox's news czar tells THR about his goal to launch a new network with Bill O'Reilly, the real reason Alec Baldwin was fired and why Jeff Zucker's strategy is no cause for concern: "I guess he's going to do whales a lot. If I were Discovery, I'd be worried."

Today, in fights we would pay to watch, Bill "Papa Bear" O'Reilly, who's listed at six-foot-four, has challenged New York City Mayor Bill "Sandinista" de Blasio, who has a slight edge at six-foot-five-and-seven-eighths. Or rather, O'Reilly has guaranteed victory in what could be the first battle of the coming class war. In front of a friendly home crowd at Long Island's Church of Saint Mary, O'Reilly, along with fellow Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly and Brian Kilmeade, delivered a rousing three-part sermon before taking audience questions, Gawker's J.K. Trotter reports. "Have we reached the point where there are more people...

Rep. Barbara Lee is firing back at Bill O’Reilly, saying the Fox News host’s comments about race were “disgusting.” “Unfortunately we’ve come to expect language like ‘welfare queens,’ ‘food stamp president,’ and now ‘race hustlers’ from the right wing and Mr. O’Reilly,” the California Democrat said in a statement Wednesday. “It is disgusting and divisive and should never be accepted in our national discourse.” O’Reilly had Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on his program Tuesday night to discuss controversy over some comments Ryan had made about poverty and inner city culture that he later called “inarticulate.” Ryan’s remarks were seized...

There is now little doubt that the Girl Scout cookie boycott is having an effect on cookie sales this year. Girl Scout spokesman Kelly Parisi went on The O’Reilly Factor this week to try and defuse the mounting controversy, and Girl Scout executives have sent threatening letters to their critics. Girl Scout CEO Anna Marie Chavez took to YouTube on Thursday to deny all charges leveled by the boycotters and to deny at least one charge they haven’t even made. “Recently, various individuals and organizations announced their intention to boycott GS cookies this year, based on mistaken beliefs about our...

Count me as a fan of the divergent brands of Fox News, hip-hop and Jay-Z. Growing up in the Bronx, New York in the 1980s and 1990s, a product of the New York City public school system, hip-hop is in my blood. It has changed my life for the better, as the hip-hop lifestyle teaches so many important American values. From the importance of rising up no matter what your circumstances, to constantly working hard and seeking more and more, to personal responsibility, there are so many hip-hop values that all Americans – including political conservatives – must appreciate....

Did anyone else hear the Jesus scholar tonight? O'Reilly said that when Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights, he "ate nothing but bugs and honey." So that's why Christians give up something for Lent. (He said it during the final segment: The Factor Tip of the Day.)One would think the author Killing Jesus would know the difference between John the Baptist and Jesus.

Bill O’Reilly faced off with White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett Thursday night over President Obama‘s “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative, and they tussled over the “gangsta” culture O’Reilly argued holds plenty of young people back and what the White House can do to help stem problems like teenage pregnancy and the collapse of the family unit. O’Reilly told Jarrett he doesn’t think the Obama administration sees the “urgency” of many of these problems,” and told her that “you’re going to have to get people like Jay-Z, Kanye West, all of these gangsta rappers, to knock it off.” O’Reilly argued it’s...
