For some time now, a group of people who classify themselves liberal has been making plans and raising money to launch a broadcast network. For them, the almost total command that conservatives have of radio and TV talk shows has lost them elections. They are tired of hearing that the country is being undermined by socialized medicine, progressive taxation and handouts to the lazy and incompetent. At this moment, this brave band is shopping for broadcast frequencies or a cable network, hiring secretaries, renting office space and raising money up and down Sunset Boulevard and Central Park West. They are...

O'Reilly: "I believe in the Second Amendment, that includes rifles and handguns, so that people can protect their families..." "...the vast majority of Americans agree on this (renewing the assault weapon ban)..." "...when you get into the assault weapons, the big guns, you're out on the fringe."

According to a recent Gallup Poll, most Americans want Saddam Hussein tried in an international court, but 24% say a U.S. military court should decide his fate. This, of course, would be a disaster because America's legal system is so screwed up that Saddam might wind up a winner. Here's what could possibly happen: The 9th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals in San Francisco, a legal body modeled on the philosophy of Che Guevera and the most overturned federal court in U.S. history, might well rule the military court unconstitutional because, as we all know, military people have strict rules...

If Saddam-9/11 link pans out, lefties will be discredited In August 2002, thugs from Saddam Hussein's secret police shot notorious terrorist Abu Nidal dead in a Baghdad residence where he had been staying as Saddam's supposed guest. The Iraqis immediately labeled Nidal's death a suicide, causing much commotion among fans of "CSI," as the man apparently shot himself four times in the head. Nidal, you may remember, was a Palestinian killer who roamed Europe and the Middle East in the '70s and '80s creating mayhem and murdering civilians. He felt right at home in Iraq. So why was he murdered?...

Cable news talker Bill O'Reilly's latest book, "Who's Looking Out for You?" is on top of the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list -- hitting the #1 spot during the prime Christmas book buying season. O'Reilly's book has leapt ahead of screeds by left-wing bomb-throwers Al Franken and Michael Moore. The Fox News host's return to the top of the heap comes as "Living History," the Hillary Clinton memoir that O'Reilly has vowed to outsell, is nowhere to be found on the printed Times list. Mrs. Clinton's book, which was expected to be a big holiday seller, has even disappeared...

For God's sakes. O'Reilly apparently got Strom's grandson on--a black American who is Strom's grandchild through Essie Mae Washington-Williams. The man had nothing bad to say about Strom...he said it was kept quiet because there was no reason to say anything, and that the family viewed Strom in a favorable light.He even said he was a Republican who supported the President and will vote for him again.Bill's response? I'll paraphrase: "I'm glad all this is coming out. It shows your grandfather to be a massive hypocrite. Don't wanna hurt your feelings, but your grandad was a hypocrite." The guy (sorry...

TalkerAuthor Bill O'Reilly lashed out against this space during his popular FOXNEWS O'REILLY FACTOR Wednesday night -- just hours after closely guarded book sales figures were splashed over the internet. Sales figures show how, contrary to his claims, O'Reilly lags far behind rivals Al Franken and Sen. Hillary Clinton for nonfiction props! MORE Responding to an exclusive yearender DRUDGE dispatch, which presented NIELSEN's Top 20 BOOKSCAN list of 2003 sales, O'Reilly called the DRUDGE REPORT a "threat to democracy." "I mean you can't believe a word Matt Drudge says," O'Reilly told the cameras. "Now you've got the Matt Drudges of...

O'REILLY: "Impact" segment tonight, Saddam Hussein could end the weapons of mass destruction controversy in about two minutes if he told us what he did with all his sarin gas, anthrax, and other WMDs. Joining us now from Washington is Richard Miniter, the author of the book "Losing Bin Laden: How Bill Clinton's Failures Unleashed Global Terror." Mr. Miniter met with CIA weapons hunter David Kay last month in Baghdad. Before we get to that, intriguing report out of Britain that Abu Nidal, who was assassinated by Saddam in Baghdad last year, actually trained Mohammed Atta, the lead hijacker on...

I turn on O'Reilly last night to see what he's talking about. I normally enjoy about 50% of the show and believe he's just too arrogant for his actual knowledge. So he has this gun advocate PRATT on talking about algor. The assault weapons ban comes up and O'Reilly says: "I support the assault weapons ban, people don't need bazookas or machine guns" So I figure this guy Pratt will immediately confront him with something like, "Well O'Reilly, you just showed America just how stupid you are and displayed your total non-undertanding of this issue.......and more" But nothing from Pratt,...

Thomas More Law Center Tonight on The O'Reilly Factor on the FOX News Channel Law Center attorney Robert Muise will be interviewed tonight by host Bill O’Reilly on the recent opinion by Detroit Federal Judge Gerald Rosen upholding the right of a Christian student to express her religious beliefs in opposition to homosexuality during her high school’s “Diversity Week” program. The case involved a federal lawsuit filed by the Thomas More Law Center on behalf of student Betsy Hansen whose religious views against homosexuality were censored and excluded from the 2002 “Diversity Week” program held at Ann Arbor’s Pioneer High...

You may have heard that some Hollywood types are organizing to unseat President Bush next year. So what, you say. What can these people really do? Well, they've got money, No. 1. Far-left billionaire George Soros has pledged $10 million to a group called America Coming Together, which is recruiting celebrities like Julia Louis Dreyfuss, Rob Reiner and Mike Farrell to spread the anti-Bush word. But money is not really the issue here, access is. Here's what's going on. Right now only about half of the voting-age population in America actually votes. And for Americans under the age of 30,...

<p>I'm getting very, very tired of the Christian bashers. And I think most Americans of all faiths are with me on this.</p> <p>Wednesday night, I debated former New York City mayoral candidate Mark Green (search) over the fact that in the city's public schools, you can display a Menorah for Hanukkah, a Muslim flag for Ramadan, but you are forbidden to display the nativity scene in honor of the federal holiday Christmas.</p>

You may have heard that some Hollywood types are organizing to unseat President Bush next year. "So what," you say. "What can these people really do?" Well, they've got money, number one. Far-left billionaire George Soros has pledged ten million to a group called "America Coming Together" which is recruiting celebrities like Julia Louis Dreyfuss, Rob Reiner, and Mike Farrell to spread the anti-Bush word. But money is not really the issue here... access is. Here's what's going on. Right now, only about half of the voting age population in America actually votes. And for Americans under the age of...

This week's "Dumbing Down" Award goes to Fox Infotainer Bill O'Reilly for this comment on the racial divide in Cincinnati after the videotaped death of a black man who resisted arrest: "Cincinnati is a southern city. It has that southern mentality." (Of course O'Reilly is from New York -- and almost everything is south of there!) The Cincinnati coroner has determined that heart disease, illegal drugs and obesity were major contributing factors in the man's death. Resisting arrest was also a major factor. Of course, all the race-baiters are comparing the event to the videotaped of Rodney King resisting arrest...

SHOW: THE O'REILLY FACTOR (20:00) December 1, 2003 Monday Transcript # 120101cb.256 SECTION: News; Domestic LENGTH: 2381 words HEADLINE: Talking Points Memo and Top Story GUESTS: Katrina Vanden Heuvel, Tammy Bruce BYLINE: Bill O'Reilly BODY: BILL O'REILLY, HOST: THE O'REILLY FACTOR is on. Tonight, Hollywood gearing up to unseat President Bush. We'll tell you about a strategy meeting to be held tomorrow out there. Mr. Bush was criticized by some for visiting the troops in Iraq. We'll find out what's behind that. Is racism in play in the Michael Jackson case? We'll talk to a guy who says yes. And...

Did anyone just hear Bill O'Reilly say that he was going to report on the "Hate Bush" meeting tommorow night. He claimed to have a mole inside the meeting. Also O'Reilly had Tammy Bruce on. Tammy called it the "Hate Bush" meeting, and O'Reilly said thats not what its called. O'Reilly said that "a lone internet nut" namely Drudge was behind calling it the "Hate Bush" meeting. Tammy Bruce looked very smart compared to the nit wit she was debating. I'll bet that Rosie O'Donnel is Bill's mole. They've been rather friendly lately.

On yesterday's O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly quoted Jesse Jackson on his Most Ridiculous Article of the day at the end of the show. Jackson states about radio personality Rush Limbaugh, "Rush should be liable for criminal penalties for his admitted drug use..." (concerning Rush's addition to Oxycontin stemming from a spinal injury). It is hilarious when the Dems and their idiot spokespeople, like Jackson, try to call Republicans out on everything. Notice how they never look internally into their party? There are tons of Dems that should be liable for criminal penalties. At least Rush admitted what he did and sought...

Anger can be a terrific motivating force, and we are seeing that in the runup to next year's presidential campaign. The far left literally hates President Bush and is putting its money where its loathing is. I believe Howard Dean is the most shocked man in America. He's leading the Democratic pack despite being a guy who supports gun ownership. The simple fact that he is vehemently against the Iraq war has caused the Bush haters to pour millions into his campaign. Do they know the NRA loves this guy? They might, but they don't care. So intense is the...
