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”...

Kamiya vs. O'Reilly Salon challenges the bullying Fox host to stop misrepresenting our "Liberation Day" story and debate its author fairly. - - - - - - - - - - - - April 23, 2003 | On April 11, Salon published, as its lead article, a piece by executive editor Gary Kamiya. The headline read: "Liberation Day: Even Those Opposed to the War Should Celebrate a Shining Moment in the History of Freedom -- the Fall of Saddam Hussein." The accompanying photograph showed an Iraqi man kissing an American soldier. Here is the central argument of the article: "To...

Clint Black will appear on Bill O'Reilly tonight. It is not clear if he will be singing or not, but the main reason he is there will be to tell what he is doing to help our troops and their families. Do you have a question or a comment about The O'Reilly Factor? Send your comments to oreilly@foxnews.com Here are the lyrics to his new song... "I RAQ AND I ROLL" YOU CAN WAVE YOUR SIGNS IN PROTEST AGAINST AMERICA TAKING A STAND. THE STANDS AMERICA'S TAKEN ARE THE REASON THAT YOU CAN IF EVERYONE WOULD GO FOR PEACE THERE'D...

Bob Costas was whining like the girly-man he is about the Hall of Fame's decision to forego an invitation to leftist radicals Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon to appear in Cooperstown for a puzzling 15th anniversary celebration of the overrated movie 'Bull Durham.' Not only have Robbins and Sarandon been anti-America political distractions, but were nattering nabobs of negativity regarding the Iraqi war.Apparently, O'Reilly felt it was better to sit on the fence during the brief interview, while Costas, as usual, holds the belief that he is the High Priest of MLB Baseball, and for all of the rest of...

Maybe Bill O'Reilly should declare a "No-Quip Zone." Emceeing Saturday night's Best Friends rock-and-roll gala at the Marriott Wardman Park -- which raised $800,000 for the 15-year-old charity benefiting inner-city schoolchildren -- the Fox News Channel star was trying to fill dead air during a lull in the entertainment. Members of the "Best Men," as the sixth-to-eighth-grade boys in the program are called, were delayed getting onstage to perform a lip-synced rendition of the Four Tops standard "Reach Out (I'll Be There)." O'Reilly ad-libbed: "Does anyone know where the Best Men are? I hope they're not in the parking lot...

I missed Garafalo make an idiot of herself on Oreilly the other day. Anyone know where I can read the transcript of it? My searching has found nothing.

Are we able to rely on what we are reading in the media anymore? The other night I watched an interview held by Fox News Reporter Geraldo Rivera, with someone from the Turkish Ministry. He was obviously angered by the reports that they were a junk country holding us up for more money. The reporting done by CNN, MSNBC and Fox apparently played a part in the fact that our request to use Turkey as a launching area was rejected by the Turkish Parliament. His anger showed in his face. I have often wondered while watching some reports by the...

When the Truth is a Casualty By: Bill O'Reilly for BillOReilly.com Thursday, Apr 03, 2003 Perhaps the most disconcerting thing about the Iraqi war press coverage has been the misleading headlines that have appeared in some major American newspapers. The words "fierce fighting" and "ferocious resistance" have been used time and time again to describe the Iraqi performance on the battlefield. On more than one occasion I thought I was reading about Stalingrad or Iwo Jima. But there was always one major problem with all the articles: American and British casualties have been light. Very light. It is, of course,...

Liberals lookout! On Fox and Friends you've got Doocy, Donahey, and Kilmeade all together again this morning! It was quite a great show! At one point, E.D. was talking about Al-Queda targeting the Oscars. It almost sounded like she was attempting to goad Al-Queda into bombing the Oscars! Then Doocy responded "Al Queda wouldn't bomb the Oscars because they have too many sympathizers there" Kilmeade responded by saying he thought Al Queda really doesn't care who they bomb, just as long as they bomb somebody. Bill Bennet was on, and Kilmeade read the quotes from Tom Dashle in 1998, and...

<p>What do you think about all of these celebrities who have come out against a war with Iraq? FNC's Bill O'Reilly gets into a slugfest with one of their ilk: Janeane Garafalo. Plus — The goods on yuppie nudist colonies...</p>

What's next? Is Bill O'Reilly, the Father Coughlin of cable TV, going to take credit for breaking the story of Watergate, exposing the Pentagon Papers and getting the scoop on the Iran/Contra scandal? This guy is probably shameless enough to claim authorship of ``Primary Colors.'' O'Reilly, the Joe Isuzu of journalism, has essentially ripped off eight years of reporting by The Tampa Tribune's Michael Fechter while claiming to be some sort of moralist arbiter of professional ethics. ``Believe me when I tell you: Any intellectual dishonesty on the part of any powerful press person in this country will be exposed...

Bill O'Reilly points out tonight that the Pony Corporation (think ugly athletic shoes) is now pushing pornography on our kids through commercials featuring porn stars. The only stores that carry Pony merchandise are Modells, Foot Locker, and Sears.

<p>February 21, 2003 -- IT'S hang-your-head-in- shame day for a whole crew of naifs who simply could not face the possibility that Palestinian terrorists were being organized, funded and controlled from a tenured perch at a Florida university. Those naifs include editors and writers at The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Miami Herald, Time, Newsweek and Salon.com. They preferred to believe, against all reason and all evidence, that the U.S. government was simply obsessed with tormenting a perfectly nice if overly hysterical Palestinian professor and his family.</p>

Robert Reich was on O'Reilly complaining that the budget was four months late. First Reich blamed Bush, then he blamed the Republican Congress! O'Reilly didn't even call him on it!!

Kinsey film focus of O'Reilly tonight The planned filming next month by MGM/United Artists of a feature film about sex revolutionary Alfred Kinsey will be the focus of Fox News Channel's O'Reilly Factor tonight. O'Reilly will interview Kinsey critic Dr. Judith Reisman, the author of "Kinsey: Crimes & Consequences."

On Thursday night the FOX News talkshow host Bill O'Reilly, used the word 'wetback' as he fumbled for words to describe smugglers who transport illegal aliens over the border.Mr. O'Reilly returned a New York Times phone call to say, 'I was groping for a term to describe an industry that brings people in here. It was not meant to discourage people in any way.' Rep. Silvestre Reyes, House Democrat of Texas, whom Mr. O'Reilly was interviewing when the word slipped out, said in a statement: 'Of course he didn't intend to say it. But the fact that 'wetback' is a...

Is it just me or does it seem like all Bill O'Reilly has on his show lately are topics related to sex? It's getting to the point where we MUST turn Fox News Channel off at the time his shows airs as it is too much.I can think of a million and one other subjects to focus on. Teachers Unions, Border Issues, Taxes, etc. We are an oversexed society! I think I'd change the name of his show to the, "No Kid Zone."

Last night Bill O'Reilly went over laws being passed in California by liberals that were out of control. He cited several liberal laws in California that were crazy. He said that he would "unleash" on the conservatives in the next day or so. My question is...what laws are we pushing for that Bill is opposed to? Exactly what is it conservatives are doing that deserves an "unleashing" from Bill? One thing is for certain with Bill though. If you don't appear on his program. You are either a liar or a crook! About the only thing that I can think...
