This could be a first: Al Sharpton criticized for being insufficiently inflammatory; faulted for not shooting from the hip. At the opening of today's "Morning Joe," host Joe Scarborough panned the Rev's "O'Reilly Factor" performance last evening, in which the normally obstreperous one was relatively subdued on the subject of his host's comments on Sylvia's restaurant in Harlem. Later, Scarborough escalated his criticism, calling O'Reilly a "moron," and accusing him of makng "racist" comments. View video here. JOE SCARBOROUGH: Al Sharpton went on Bill O'Reilly's show last night, and apparently said very little. WILLIE GEIST: Well, to be honest, I...

CNN co-host Kiran Chetry and CNN contributor Roland Martin, in a segment on TuesdayÂ’s "American Morning," discussed comments on race Fox News host Bill OÂ’Reilly had recently made on his radio show, and the question you might expect came up: "Is this going to be one of those Don Imus moments?" Chetry asked this question to Martin due to some blogs "buzzing" over OÂ’ReillyÂ’s comments about a visit he made to a "soul food" restaurant in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City with Al Sharpton. Martin denied that this was going to be OÂ’ReillyÂ’s "Imus moment."OÂ’Reilly, in a conversation...

The real story behind the MoveOn smear attack on General Petraeus is far left financier George Soros. He has given millions to MoveOn and other Internet sites that smear conservatives and traditionalists. If you want to know the full extent of Soros' intrusion into the political process, read Investors Business Daily's editorial today. Go to their Web site. It is downright frightening. Now the far left billionaire has bought politicians, journalists, an Internet character assassins. He wields tremendous power in this country. So much power that 24 Democratic senators were afraid to condemn MoveOn for its outrageous attack on General...

*** EXCLUSIVE TO THE RADIO EQUALIZER *** Though not yet confirmed by the man himself, top- level industry sources tell the Radio Equalizer that Bill O'Reilly is giving up his nationally syndicated radio show. We're hearing his last broadcast will occur sometime in December. Carried by as many as 400 stations, the Radio Factor has turned in mixed results nationwide, with a strong performance in several major markets. It airs in most of the largest American cities, including Los Angeles, New York City and Boston. Kicking off in May, 2002, the show initially had about 200 affiliates. With Rush Limbaugh...

Duncan Hunter speaks with Bill O'Reilly on September 11, 2007. Captured by RastermasterTV!!

Ron Paul and Bill O'Reilly had a lively debate about foreign policy. I think that O'Reilly, while granted he kept interrupting Paul, got the best of him in this debate. In the final minute or so, while O'Reilly did falsely accuse Ron paul of opposing the Afghan war from the beginning, Paul did come back & call for the withdrawal of American soldiers from Afghanistan. O'Reilly also got Paul when O'Reilly made the distinction between Saudi & Iranian policy toward terrorism...the Saudi government does not sponsor terrorism, unlike Iran. Also around 3 minutes or so left, didn't Paul condone the...

Day Deux of the "MSNBC Booed Bush" controversy, and Joe Scarborough was looking to make up ground . . . For those who missed the story, in a burst of candor "Morning Joe" host Scarborough mentioned on yesterday's show that members of the MSNBC newsroom had booed President Bush nearly continuously during the 2003 State of the Union.Today, Scarborough asserted that most of the boo-birds were gone from the network, and claimed for good measure that rival Fox News Channel is "all Republicans." Joe was peeved that Bill O'Reilly had expounded on the booing incident on last evening's O'Reilly Factor.View...

Bill O'Reilly probably said the stupidest thing I've ever heard him say on "The Factor" two weeks ago. In an interview segment with Bernie Goldberg and Jane Hall about the rise of hatred on the Internet, O'Reilly said: "There should be laws in the civil arena to deal with this." To be fair, O'Reilly was talking about allowing people to sue for defamation of character – which is entirely reasonable. However, the fact that Bill married that concept to the notion of "hate speech on the web" is what troubles me. O'Reilly is an intelligent guy. He knows that Web...

The only "Simpsons" series character whose name was changed for the movie was Austrian-born action star Rainer Wolfcastle, who goes by the name of President Schwarzenegger. This is satire, I think. There are nine Republican contenders for president and many more in the party looking for a rock-star candidate. Is it Rudy Giuliani, a.k.a. the Mayor of Terror Town? Mitt Romney, who bears a spooky resemblance to CBS CEO Leslie Moonves? Tom Tancredo or Tommy Thompson, both of whose names would restore alliteration to the White House for the first time since the Reagan era? I woke up early Sunday...

Seven local residents showed up at Home Depot in Pittsfield Township Tuesday to present a petition calling for the retailer to pull its advertising from the FOX News network. Copies of the same 40,000 signatures - collected nationwide over the past three weeks by members of the Sierra Club and MoveOn.org - were also given to managers at five other Home Depots across the country. The Pittsfield Township store was the only one targeted in the Midwest.

O’Reilly really couldn’t have stacked these two Factor segments any better. First he has Sen. Chris Dodd on to talk about the DailyKos and the YearlyKos and that Photoshop he keeps showing that came from Kos. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll see it in this segment, don’t worry. Once he and Dodd go a few rounds shouting at each other, O’Reilly brings Dennis Miller on to deliver the coup de grace. Or, several of them. Since neither segment works as well alone, I’ve given you the entire Dodd segment and the choice cuts from Miller Time. Video at link

Bill O'Reilly just handed Chris Dodd his rear on television regarding Kos! It was sweet. I am not a fan of BOR, but he told Dodd he had no respect for him anymore!. Dennis Miller coming up to talk about it.

<p>I received an e-mail today from the Fox News producer who booked me for the O'Reilly Factor last night. The links have been forwarded to Jim Robinson for review.</p> <p>Jim asked me to start a thread with the links so that Freepers, and everyone else, could see for themselves what the fuss is about.</p>

You Tube video of The O'Reilly Factor with Kristinn Taylor speaking for Free Republic. Bill O'Reilly makes claims about Freerepublic.com to spin us into a right wing hate site.

I'm not going to call Bill O'Reilly a liar... yet, but... on his TV show today, he read off a laundry list of ridiculous "hate" statements like "I hate blacks," "Hillary should be assassinated" and "homosexuals are dogs" that he said he personally found on Free Republic and claims that they were posted here today. I do not believe that. I doubt that he personally logged on to FR and I doubt he found any such thing posted here today. Who knows what we may have missed and is buried deep in our archives of millions of posts, but our...

<p>I taped a segment on the O'Reilly Factor for airing tonight to defend Free Republic against charges that it is a hate site. The segment will air in the 'D block' around 8:35 p.m. EDT and rerun at 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. EDT.</p>

I recently tuned in to the Radio Factor to hear Bill O'Reilly saying that he was hated by Freerepublic and that it was an extreme right wing blog. First of all, Mr. O'Reilly is not hated. I have a lot of respect for the man, his honesty, integrity and point of view. What I don't like, as do many Freepers, is that when he is on target on some key issues, he is way off target on others. He needs to realize that we even disagree amongst ourselves quite often. I get my daily dose of talk radio, Rush, Dr....

Well, it took two and a half years, but the University of Colorado finally axed the nutty professor. Ward Churchill has been fired for academic misconduct, including plagiarism. Despite those assertions, this was really about an out-of-control teacher earning nearly $100,000 a year saying things so foolish that no institute of learning could support them. Imagine losing a loved one in the World Trade Center on 9/11 and then hearing a tenured professor of “Ethnic Studies” accuse your dead relative or friend of being “a little Eichmann,” a Nazi. All because the murdered person worked in a capitalistic enterprise. That...
