Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 12:17 PM The tolerant left strikes again… Liberals create a video game where tea partiers are murdered. Via Pundit Press: “Tea Party Zombies Must Die” They don’t want to discuss the issue. They just want you dead. In the latest “game” for far left activists you get to watch your favorite conservative pundits get slaughtered in front of your eyes – Including: Brit Hume, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich.

Rupert Murdoch is working hard to contain the fallout from the hacking scandal that has engulfed his U.K. newspapers. His nightmare scenario right now would be the coming to light of anything to suggest that the bad behavior that was so (allegedly) commonplace at the News of the World also happened with any frequency in the U.S. That means not just interception of voicemails but also use of shady private investigators and improper relationships with, or payments to, law enforcement officials. How unfortunate for Bill O’Reilly, then, that new accusations against him involve exactly those things. According to Gawker, the...

Much has been made of the lack of media coverage surrounding the 2012 bid of Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) despite his second-place showing in the Ames Straw Poll. So Bill O’Reilly wondered Wednesday why Paul won’t come on his show. “Congressman Ron Paul recently told Megyn Kelly that he’s being ignored by the media. Since Ms. Kelly is part of the media, that was a ... pretty interesting statement,” said the Fox News host. “When we heard it though, we immediately invited Ron Paul on the Factor. We don’t want anyone to be ignored. So far he has not accepted...

Through the years, we've been told by the mainstream media that Bill O'Reilly, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry, and others represented the conservative point of view. For a long while, I bought that notion. Now that I'm relatively awake and actually paying attention, I don't think ANY of them are conservatives! O'Reilly's positions baffle me. His assumption that a failure to raise the debt ceiling would result in a catastrophic downgrade of America's triple A bond rating is an absolute joke. Failure to raise the debt ceiling does not equate to failure to pay debt obligations. How can O'Reilly...

BillO is upset that there are 38 Tea Party House Republicans who say they won’t vote to raise the debt ceiling unless there is a balanced budget amendment attached to it. BillO, like everyone in the MSM, wants compromise and he wants it bad. He doesn’t believe in standing your ground on principle and trying to force the other side to do what’s best for the country. He’d rather fold like a lawn chair under the umbrella of hyperbole and scare tactics spewed by the radical leftists. He’s given in to conventional wisdom that there is no way that a...

BILL O'REILLY, HOST: In the "Back of the Book" segment tonight: New York Post columnist Cindy Adams writes today that Sarah Palin may very well run for president. Ms. Adams citing the governor's intense study routine as evidence she is preparing for the fray. Joining us now from Washington to analyze that possibility, and also the Rick Perry factor, Fox News analyst Charles Krauthammer. So if Governor Palin does get into the race, what happens? CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Well, it gets very interesting, it gets very complicated, and the rowboat gets very crowded. Bodies are going to start...

A new poll out of Boston's Suffolk University reveals that Fox News and Bill O'Reilly are the most trusted names in news. By a lot. More that a quarter of those polled believe that Fox News is the most trustworthy, and 9% say that Bill O'Reilly is the most believable (from a list of 28 choices). This result is perhaps somewhat less surprising when you consider that O'Reilly has long been the most-watched person on cable news (you don't stay on top for that length of time for no reason). But as Brent Bozell, president of the conservative Media Research...

In this O'Reilly Factor exposé Marc Thiessen, the former chief speechwriter for President Bush, explains the enhanced interrogation methods used to start the chain of events which eventually lead to the death of Usama bin Laden. While most people believe that these methods are used to extract information, Thiessen explains that enhanced interrogations are used to create a more cooperative environment. After the subject is broken, interrogators can then start to extract the desired information, sometimes as simply as having a conversation with the person. BILL O'REILLY, HOST: Now for the top story tonight: an inside look at how the...

With President Obama now in full campaign mode, the question becomes: Can he win re-election despite some misgivings from the vast majority of the American people? A new Marist College-McClatchy poll delivers this bad news to the president: Sixty-four percent of Americans now think the country is moving in the wrong direction, while just 31 percent believe the USA is on the right track. That is the highest "wrong direction" number since November of 2007, when the country was heading into a deep recession.In normal times, that kind of poll number would be catastrophic for a president about to enter...

Not Looking Out For You The once-vaunted Fox News network has joined the rest of the liberal, establishment media in providing cover and concealment for the origins of Barack Obama.  This morning on Peter Boyles’ Denver KHOW talk-radio show, Washington Times columnist Jeff Kuhner spoke about the “birther” story and its widely-known (and feared) underground status within the nation’s capital.  Boyles has been a hound on the trail of the cover-up for the past three years.  Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, not to mention Glenn Beck and contributor Ann Coulter, long ago jumped into the Orwellian chorus of them who will...

Who could have imagined that the words 'Jon Stewart,' 'praise,' and 'Bill O'Reilly' would ever be mentioned in the same breath? Well nay-sayers, eat your hearts out. Merely a week after lambasting former Fox conservative pundit Glenn Beck on his primetime cable hit, Jon Stewart took to The Daily Show to address another familiar face on Fox this time only to sing the praises of Bill O'Reilly, a popular TV host in his own right on Fox's The O'Reilly Factor. In a segment cryptically titled "Tales of Principled Behavior," Stewart criticized Republican Presidential hopeful and business honcho Donald Trump, former...

I have never been more repulsed by such an ignorant display of bullying arrogance as I was watching O'Reilly's 'de facto' declarations about Obama's gaps, contradictions and ducking of questions. According to O'Reilly, we can all pack away any troubling notions about Obama now. The all-seeing, all-knowing Bill O'Reilly has declared the "all clear" on all questions concerning Obama's hidden past. And he amazingly did this waving of his magic wand cleansing all doubts without offering an iota of counter evidence! I used to believe O'Reilly was smart, but no more. What a disappointment. I hope this increased attitude of...

Bill O'Reilly tried to separate "fact from myth," and put "internet propaganda" to rest. Most of the dialog was about Obama and his legitimacy for natural-born status, but at the end he states Michelle Obama's law license is inactive - which is true, but is not nearly the whole story. Her license is inactive, and it was voluntary, but her choices were not choices you or I might want to face. It appears that she chose to go inactive because she was facing some disciplinary action. We know this because we have a screen shot of the disciplinary record under...

Fresh off his interview with Donald Trump last week, Bill O'Reilly took on another controversial potential 2012 Republican candidate, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. O'Reilly questioned Bachmann on why she thought she was even qualified to be president or if she had the experience to run the country. "Do you have the frame of reference to deal with complicated issues like China trade? Like Iran nuclear? Like the unintended consequences?" According to Bachmann, her age and life experience have, in fact, prepared her for the presidency. "I do have a broad extensive background. I'm a student of many years. I have studied...

Glenn Beck sure is full of surprises. The conservative pundit joined FOX News colleague Bill O'Reilly on his April 1 episode of "O'Reilly Factor" to discuss the presidential aspirations of Donald Trump -- and it turns out he's more than a little skeptical. "He's made me a little uncomfortable here recently," says Beck. "The last thing the country needs is a showboat. You don't want me as President of the United States." We won't answer that. So what about Trump's recent showboating rubs Beck the wrong way. His extremest accusations against President Obama's, if you can believe it. "There is...

Bill O’Reilly said Monday night that Sarah Palin only has herself to blame for dropping approval ratings. The Fox News host who has butted heads recently with Palin said the former governor has avoided direct engagement with the media, hurting her image. “Her favorability among Republicans and independents has dropped four [percentage] points in a month,” O’Reilly said during a segment of his television show. “The reason I think it’s dropping is because she is not engaging directly.” O’Reilly then pointed directly to a recent interview he had conducted with Palin in which she accused him of interrupting her after...

Last night for a few brief shining television moments (captured here), Wafa Sultan, courageous author of the indispensible jeremiad "A God Who Hates," strove gamely to educate Bill O'Reilly -- often seemingly impenetrable by facts regarding Sharia -- about how Islamic Law, patterned on the "perfect example" of Islam's prophet Muhammad, sanctions rape.

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...
