With the 2012 presidential elections somehow already on the horizon, speculation as to Republicans rising up to challenge President Obama continues to crest, and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann is topping the list of potential candidates. But while some on the right consider her an “intellectual” and a potential danger to President Obama’s incumbency, Bill O’Reilly is skeptical of her experience and appeal. Talking 2012 candidates with guests Larry Sabato and Sandy Rios, O’Reilly asked both to give their take on the Minnesota representative. Sabato noted that Bachmann’s State of the Union response left him less than confident in her communication...

On The Factor this evening, host Bill O’Reilly brought on a panel to discuss Fox News contributor Sarah Palin’s falling poll numbers. The Polling Company founder and president Kellyanne Conway suggested Palin’s increased visibility and celebrity status may be partially to blame for the falling numbers. In a word: Overexposure. Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce, meanwhile, was more interested in how those poll numbers might change once Palin is given an “unfiltered” platform for espousing her political beliefs – insinuating, of course, that Americans have yet to truly hear Palin’s opinions or her take on political issues.

This evening, Bill O’Reilly took a shot at Governor Palin on his show regarding the last interview he conducted with her. If you recall, the governor rightly put an end to O’Reilly’s annoying habit of interruption, by reminding him that he was indeed interrupting her. As you can imagine, Bill’s ego suffered a bit of a bruising from the governor’s action. On tonight’s episode of The O’Reilly Factor, Bill spoke with Chis Wallace to make himself feel better about it all. He compared his behavior as a media personality, with that of Chris Wallace, stating that it is mandatory for...

Even though Sarah Palin has been a mayor and a governor, the day she became John McCain's surprise pick as Republican running mate, the former Alaska Governor has been cross-examined vigorously and exposed to tough questions all in an attempt to prove that she's inexperienced. On Friday, Palin took to FOX News and proved she is not only experienced, but confident and ready to offer an unscripted response to anyone's words of wisdom. Palin appeared on America's Nightly Scoreboard on Fox Business and had a quick response when Host David Asman informed Palin that Chris Christie had told Fox Business...

In front of an Alaskan backdrop of mountains and a lake, Sarah Palin had a busy, busy night on television Friday. She found time to tweak a fellow Republican, dismiss the president, and scold a top rated Fox News talk show host. Palin opened by questioning New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's toughness and attacking President Barack Obama for naivete. After that, she preached about cutting various government programs to Bill O'Reilly before telling him not to interrupt her. All in a night's work. On America's Nightly Scoreboard, host David Asman informed Palin that Christie had told Fox Business News that...

Tuned in to watch Sarah Palin talk and this BIG MOUTH O'Reilly asks Sarah questions and he keeps interrupting her. She finally tild him to quit interrupting her so she can make her poing. SHUT YOUR BIG MOUTH O'REILLY!!!!

Poor Bret Baier can’t even get ’90s sitcom celebrities to properly remember his name when they call him a “scared asshole” on national TV, which they are still on for some reason. Thus was his misfortune last night on Real Time, as Bill Maher’s panel evaluated Bill O’Reilly’s pre-Super Bowl interview with President Obama and Matthew Perry chimed in to compare that interview to the one “Bill” Baier did with the president a while ago, which he found only marginally more acceptable. Real Time isn’t exactly a place for euphemisms, but last night’s panel was particularly abrasive, even for the...

Pot meet kettle. During all the Bush years, there were few harsher critics of the White House than HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher. Now, Maher is taking issue with Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly’s Super Bowl interview with President Barack Obama. On Tuesday night’s “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” on MSNBC, Maher attacked O’Reilly for his treatment of Obama. “Well, actually he tried so hard. I mean, this man – I saw him with Bill O’Reilly as I’m sure a lot of people did in this country before the Super Bowl,” Maher said. “And all I could...

Obama: I'm not moving to center By John T. Bennett - 02/06/11 06:23 PM ET President Obama on Sunday dismissed the notion that his administration in recent weeks has pivoted toward the political center to raise his approval ratings as the 2012 campaign nears. After ushering through Congress measures to throw a lifeline to troubled U.S. corporations, stimulate the economy and dramatically overhaul the nation’s healthcare system, Obama has since cut a deal with congressional Republicans on taxes and called for a freeze on most federal spending. But when pressed Sunday during a live interview with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly on...

Free Republic favorite Bill O'Reilly will be conducting Dear Leader Barack Obama's traditional Super Bowl pre-game interview live on Fox broadcast at 4:45 p.m. EST.

Al Gore responds to Bill O’Reilly on snow-climate nexus By Ben Geman - 02/01/11 03:36 PM ET Al Gore is taking Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly up on his request to address this winter’s severe snowstorms. O’Reilly on the Jan. 27 edition of The O’Reilly Factor asked, “Why has southern New York turned into the tundra,” adding, “I have a call in to Al Gore.” The former vice president and climate activist provided a response on his website Tuesday. “I appreciate the question,” Gore wrote. “As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some...

Last week on his show Bill O’Reilly asked, “Why has southern New York turned into the tundra?” and then said he had a call into me. I appreciate the question. As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now and they say that increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with what they have been predicting as a consequence of man-made global warming: “In fact, scientists have been warning for at least two decades that global warming could make snowstorms more severe. Snow has two simple ingredients: cold and moisture. Warmer air collects...

Sadly, FOX News led by the pompous, self-righteous and arrogant Bill O’Reilly have failed and actually betrayed the American people when it comes to upholding these pillars of Good Journalism. This is especially true as it relates to the USURPATION of the presidency of the United States and the sham court-martial, conviction and imprisonment of U.S. Army LTC Terrence Lakin.

Guess we could get used to Bill a few octaves higher . . . Radio host Lionel has predicted that Barack Obama will "come close" to gelding [castrating] Bill O'Reilly when the president does an interview with the Fox News host on Super Bowl Sunday. View video here.

Tonight, Bill O'Reilly opened the Factor with an angry rant related to yesterday's highly anticipated WikiLeaks event, during which he stated that those who leak to the "despicable" web site are "traitors" who "should be "executed." O'Reilly's full statement, inside. Here's the rant, during which O'Reilly also went after President Obama for not making a statement related to the leak, and PFC Bradley Manning—suspected of a previous leak to WikiLeaks—who he said should be given life in prison with hard labor:

Most people don’t understand the philosophy behind Affirmative Action so John Stossell decided to display it in action by holding an Affirmative Action Bake Sale and the results were pretty humorous! Cupcakes were $1.50 for Asians (because they have an unfair advantage by being so smart), $1.00 for white people and $.50 for black/latino people- since we have to make amends for racism. Point made!

The 23-year-old student hacker, Mitchell Frost, who hacked into the websites of Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly and fellow FNC personality and conservative pundit, Ann Coulter, was sentenced to 30 months in prison. Along with the prison sentence, Frost has been ordered to pay restitution: $40,000 to O’Reilly and $10,000 to the University of Akron, where the student had been studying during the crime. The Ohio student pleaded guilty in May to using school computers and networks to access the sites. Between August 2006 and March 2007, Frost hacked into Frost was in his first year at the school when he...

I almost spit on my keyboard when on BOR's talking points memo, he says the following: "Jerry Brown is an honest guy!" O'reilly, you've shown your idiocy again.

Sarah Palin in No Spin Zone Former governor of Alaska slams corrupt media, predicts election results

Full story in two parts: Part 1Part 2...“when you say ‘Muslims did this, do you mean Muhammed Ali?’” No, he means “Muslims” those “Muslims” the ones who did it. But what of Muhammed Ali? To my knowledge he never hurt anyone (outside of the ring) but the fact is that due to his association with the Nation of Islam, when Malcolm X was murdered Muhammed Ali did, in fact, state that anyone who comes against the prophet deserves death. Likewise, due to his involvement with Islam, Cat Stevens aka Yusuf Islam supported the attempts to murder Salman Rushdie for writing,...
