We all make mistakes. And we all say things we regret sometimes. But tonight, many conservatives on Capitol Hill are shocked by a racially insensitive comment that was made by the most powerful figure in cable news — Bill O’Reilly. Lloyd Grove reported this column in his column “The Reliable Source,” which appears in “The Washington Post,” and talked to Joe. LAST SATURDAY, Fox’s Bill O’Reilly was emceeing a benefit for disadvantaged school children in Washington, D.C., something that he should be commended for. But apparently O’Reilly found himself filling time before an African-American boy’s group named “The Best Men”...

No pain, no gain? So let me get this straight. We know that for 25 years Saddam Hussein tortured, murdered and brutalized his people. Then in three weeks, coalition forces removed him and his thug pals from power. Then, a few days later, thousands of Iraqis took to the streets and beat themselves silly in a bloody display that made slasher flicks look tame. Do I have this right? Now you might think that these self-abusers would take a few days off from pain. How about a spring break from physical abuse? After suffering so long through the horrors of...

Oh, Canada, what the heck is going on? In a staggering display of in-your-face defiance, the Canadian government now says it will not turn over to the United States any members of Saddam Hussein's crew should they eventually show up in Canada, including the evil dictator himself! Canadian Minister of Defense John McCallum bluntly told the world that his government would give Saddam only to the World Court in The Hague. This non-provoked belligerence comes after Prime Minister Jean Chretien gleefully pilloried the Bush administration over fighting Iraq every chance he got. Chretien and his cohorts have made no secret...

America’s military scares a lot of folks. It’s much like one of the military’s slogans; they can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Unfortunately, America’s enemies, the military’s enemies aren’t just across the battlefield or in foreign lands. What our military accomplished in Iraq is almost without precedent. The military advanced hundreds of miles, caused relatively few casualties and achieved the overthrow of a regime in less than 4 weeks. In anyone’s objective eyes, the victory was stunning......

Coming up Next on O'Reilly on Fox- Je$$e and NASCAR. W'ats Up with dat?

It looks like outspoken Iraq war critic Janeane Garofalo won't be honoring her pledge to apologize to President Bush anytime soon. "I have nothing to apologize for," she told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg, who requested an interview with the comedienne-turned-peacenik for his Sunday morning broadcast. Malzberg tells NewsMax that instead of agreeing to the interview request, Garofalo boasted that her upcoming TV show on ABC is going forward despite a tidal wave of complaints received by the network. "Boycotters are welcome to keep giving me tons of publicity," she dared before reiterating, "There will be no apologies." Just five weeks...

The Spoils of War The No Spin Zone by BIll O'Reilly Apr 12, 2003 It should come as no surprise that the fall of Saddam Hussein is causing an avalanche of repercussions all around the world. While no one can predict the future, the immediate past is fairly easy to catalog, and Saddam has taken a lot of people down with him. The following folks are, at this very moment, feeling Saddam's pain. Vladimir Putin: Once a guy who roamed the range with President Bush, Mr. Putin should not be planning any visits to Texas soon. His government likely supplied...

  YOO-HOO O'REILLY: Regarding the spoils of war, you are wrong hillary clinton is a loser BIGTIME   And finally one big stealth winner in the Iraq war: Senator Hillary Clinton. She simply disappeared after voting for military action last fall, dodging all direct questions about the war but making it clear she did not side with the peace movement. Say what you want about Hillary, she has no use for losers.

Bill O'Reilly Rips Kofi Annan Stupidity & Selfishness... Tuesday, December 11, 2001 By Bill O'Reilly Stupidity and selfishness often go together, and that's the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. Finally, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan has won the Nobel Peace Prize.  But Annan does not want the United States to expand its war on terror to Iraq, oh, no, that might destabilize the Gulf region, says Annan.This is choice.  Kofi Annan gets the Nobel Peace Prize, but he's unable to come up with many solutions to lasting peace.  Milosevic, America got him out.  Africa, the UN...

Michael Moore made the statement to Bill Oreilly that more people agree with him than agree with the President. Currently he couldn't be more wrong.

That's my Dad talking to Bill O'Reilly right now!!! No kidding! I sure wish we had a T.V.

<p>Hi, I'm Bill O'Reilly.  Thank you for watching us tonight.</p> <p>Slanting the war coverage...  That is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo.</p> <p>Most military experts are saying the campaign in Iraq is an unprecedented success.  The war is now six days old.  The USA has losses of 20 dead and 14 captured or missing according to the Associated Press.  The allies control most of the country and are knocking on the door of Saddam's bunker.  But if you read The New York Times today, you might think Iraq was winning.  The front page of the "Times" was full of ominous headlines.  "Iraqis Repel Copters; One Goes Down."  "GIs Regroup After Setback --Two Prisoners on Iraqi TV."  "Hussein Rallies Iraqi Defenders."  "The Goal Is Baghdad, but at What Cost?"  All these headlines were on just one page.  Unbelievable.</p>

Did anybody see Bill O'Reilly talking with the former Ambassador to Croatia? He was ON FIRE, I tell ya! He said he would rather see Americans buy war bonds to help rebuild Iraq than take French money or help. He said it would be "blood money". He said France stabbed Secretary Powell in the back. He said he had no respect for any Americans who travelled to France (I assume he means travelling for pleasure).

Should we start boycotting all French products in response to their anti-American stance?

O'Reilly just announced that GWB has asked the networks for TV Time next week and his implication was it was THE announcement

<p>Hi, I'm Bill O'Reilly. Thank you for watching us tonight.</p> <p>I made a mistake yesterday. Can you believe it? That's the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo.</p> <p>For those of you who say I'm never wrong, I never admit I'm wrong, well, you're wrong, because I was wrong when I said that Americans who continue demonstrating against the war once the shooting begins are being un-American. I'm taking that back.</p>

Tonight on The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly addressed the arrest of Florida State University Professor Sami Al Arian. Bill O'Reilly's guest was Fox news analyst Mansoor Ijaz. Bill O'Reilly pointed out that he had been under heavy attack over the past year from the Muslim community for originally breaking the first arrest of Professor Al Arian, but had kept quiet over the ongoing debate. Sami Al Arian was arrested on terrorism-related charges and Bill O'Reilly said that if he was innocent, Al Arian should be fully exhonerated and given full backpay. In the closing remarks of the segment, Bill O'Reilly...

Interview With Author Bill Hawkins, Immigration Reform Proponent Dan Stein 02/24/2003 Fox News: The O'Reilly Factor O'REILLY: Thanks for staying with us. I'm Bill O'Reilly. In THE FACTOR "Follow-Up" Segment tonight, last week, we told you that the Ford Foundation has donated almost $60 million to immigration groups that want to keep American borders open. Two footnotes: The Ford Foundation has nothing to do with the Ford Motor Company. And THE FACTOR factor wants all Americans, no matter where they come from, to have freedom and a happy life. But we also want to be protected from illegal immigration. Joining...

Subtleties of 21st Century Sedition If hypothetically, an attack was perpetrated against America on American soil that killed thousands of Americans and the attack was by a foreign group that had previously declared a war of annihilation on the United States, few would argue that America was at war, a war not of her choosing but nevertheless, a war she had to fight. Again hypothetically, if while engaged in her new war, America determined that an old adversary was developing weapons of mass destruction in spite of a global effort to prevent that adversary from developing chemical, biological and nuclear...

Liberal Talk, Liberal Logic Generally speaking, in the battle of wits, the Liberals have been unarmed and as a result, Conservative Talk Radio has dominated the airwaves. That may be harsh, but honestly, is there a single Liberal idea that has merit? More to the point, is there a single Liberal idea if taken to its logical conclusion, that would be more of a benefit to Americans than not? Try it. No drilling in ANWR because it may adversely affect some wildlife on the northern slope of Alaska. It sounds good. No one wants to needlessly hurt kangaroo rats or...
