O’Reilly told Dawkins” you insist you can’t even mention it, that is fascism, sir. Was he right? Is it constitutional/scientific to insist that only materialistic evolution can be taught? See: O’Reilly vs. Atheist Author Richard Dawkins...

Who would plaster his Twitter page with police mug shot photos of convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur? Fox News contributor Marc Lamont Hill did. At least until David Horowitz and Accuracy in Media took notice and wrote about it. Now the page features photos of boxing great Muhammad Ali. Hill's MySpace page is also gone.There are other changes as well. The tributes to Shakur and black racist Khallid Muhammad, known as "America's Black Hitler," have disappeared from his web pages. The articles were saved, however, and can be found here. (Excerpt) Read more at aim.org ... ____________________________________________ From David Horowitz's...

Here is video of Dennis Miller on "The O'Reilly Factor" talking about FOX News and taking a shot at Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. Dennis Miller talking about FOX News said "FOX I believe, is in the right lane but you still got rubber on the road, Hannity's gone off-road, and Beck, he's way down the road." O'Reilly actually defended Hannity saying "I disagree with you...Hannity represents the Republican party, he's a Reagan Republican, so the Republicans are gonna watch Sean, and there's nothing wrong with having somebody on the air that represents the Republican Party, so he's not off...

Here is video of Michele Bachmann talking to Bill O'Reilly about the lefts anger towards her. O'Reilly told Bachmann "you are second to Sarah Palin in far left angst," and asked "how did you get into that wheel house?" Bachmann answered "I think it happened with a competing cable network that took an interest in me, and it's only grown." She went on to say "it's almost like I have personal stalkers, only they have Tv shows, so it's kind of an interesting phenomenon." When asked why the left is going after her, Bachmann answered "It may bother them that...

The last ratings cycle Monday night, Beck withing less than 200k of O'Reilly and that's at a 5:00p.m. timeslot, MSNBC also continues to lose viewers...

Here is video of GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham on with Bill O'Reilly tonight where O'Reilly talked with Graham about comments he made about O'Reilly over the weekend. He also talked to Graham about Afghanistan, where Graham said he thinks Obama will give Gen. McChrystal the 30,000-40,000 troops he has requested, and that he deserves the time needed to make the decision. O'Reilly reported that Stratfor.com is saying Obama may reject McChrystal's request. O'Reilly set Graham straight about his remarks questioning what it would have been like for the Founding Fathers to have to deal with "Talk Radio" and shows like...

Was up wearly today, and caught the 6 AM EDT re-run of the BOR show. When it first started, I admit I was dissappointed to find that Juan Williams was subbing for BOR, so I just kept the show on, while at the PC, figuring I'd change the channel when the impetus of being bored would provide the impetus to c hange the channel... But as the show progressed, i found that Juan Williams was hosting like I've never hearf him host before. He was engaging, even handed and wouldn't let the guests get away with filibustering either the Left...

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham Thursday blamed the lack of civility in today's political discourse on voters' willingness to send confrontational representatives to Washington as well as the 24-hour news cycle, talk radio and organizations like MoveOn.org. "Can you imagine writing the Constitution today?" Graham said during a conversation with Jeffrey Goldberg at The First Draft of History, a conference in Washington, D.C. produced by The Atlantic, the Newseum and The Aspen Institute. He speculated that Fox News host Bill O'Reilly would complain that "Ben Franklin [is] giving in on something." Asked what he thinks of another Fox News personality, Glenn...

Bernie Goldberg 09/29/2009 appearance on O'Reilly Factor. Goldberg's veiled criticism of Glenn Beck. Goldberg attempts to attack FoxNews commentators as would-be journalists who aren’t fair-and-balanced covering rallies and tea parties, they “cheerlead”. Goldberg’s states “criticism [coming from MSM] is legitimate”. Goldberg's veiled attacks on Beck and Hannity, stating “don’t pretend you are being objective, and don’t say these tea parties are a cross section of America when they are not”. Goldberg accuses FoxNews of providing false information suggesting they [Beck and Hannity] portray Tea Parties are a cross section of America that include…as many liberal democrats as republicans?

Anyone who saw this tonight has to ask, WTH is he talking about here? Bernie is really bothered by the Foxnews Tea Party coverage and he keeps repeating this rant....The worst performance I've seen from him...

Marc Lamont Hill has responded to my Newsreal post about The O'Reilly Factor's decision to make him their black in residence and to provide him a whole segment recently to share with us his views of the crisis with Iran. I pointed out that Hill's expertise, such as it is, is hip-hop culture -- the very low end, in other words, of popular music which is better known as rap. Why was Hill on at all? Because he's Fox's black academic. But what kind of academic? With an expertise in rap music, Hill has a professorship at Columbia University, illustrating...

Liberals scoff at any person who points out the obvious fact that the mainstream media is overwhelmingly biased to the left. And Fox News Channel, through the eyes of a liberal, is nothing but conservative propaganda. Cable news personalities on CNN and MSNBC discredit Fox, pretending that they haven’t been overshadowed by FNC’s success for years on end. The simple reality is that, especially recently, Fox News has been the only source of quality journalism and reporting in the cable news realm. The numbers speak for themselves; Fox is consistently on top. On the evening of Tuesday, September 15, Bill...

I'm a big fan of The O'Reilly Factor. That said, I find his continued promotion of Professor Marc Lamont Hill an insult to the intelligence of blacks particularly and his entire audience generally. Tonight he interviewed Hill for an entire segment on the subject of Iran, as though Hill had anything intelligent to say on the subject. "Do you think we should give Iran three months or six months to let the UN inspectors in?" How would Marc Lamont Hill know? How would he ever be in a position to make an intelligent speculation? By his own account, Hill is...

It may be time to start channeling Noah and begin building an ark. The world is a huge mess, and it's getting worse every day. Iran is on track to develop nuclear weapons, but global warming may incinerate us first. The Israeli-Palestinian hate fest rolls on, and Afghanistan is falling apart. Drug criminals have overrun Mexico, and Third World poverty is as horrific as ever. I think things are OK in Finland. This week President Obama implored the United Nations to do something, anything, to combat terrorism and global warming. The president was blunt: "Consider the course that we are...

Just how far has NBC fallen? The Jay Leno show scored roughly one-third the audience of ABC's or CBS's, but trails even Fox News. Not just Fox, which permits its affiliates to broadcast local programming during the 10 o'clock hour, but Fox News Channel. ABC: Grey's Anatomy (16.5 million) CBS: The Mentalist (14.3 million) Fox News: The O'Reilly Report (5.2 million*) NBC: The Jay Leno Show (5 million) *includes two airings, because Fox News Channel broadcasts simultaneously in all time zones. Now, if Fox News would only put Glenn Beck in Prime Time...

O'Reilly, Hannity reach out to ACORN camera duo It was fascinating to see the reaction on Fox News Thursday night to the announcement that ACORN was suing the filmmakers Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe, along with the Web site Breitbart.com, over the hidden camera recording that the two did at an agency office in Baltimore. There was Bill O'Reilly offering his sympathy to Andrew Breitbart, the founder of the Web site that first put the film online. "I'm sorry you have to go through this, Andrew, I know it's unpleasant," O'Reilly said in opening the interview. Sound sympathetic enough, you...

Here is video of Glenn Beck talking with Bill O'Reilly tonight about his recent comments regarding John McCain, his interview with Katie Couric, and his belief that Israel will eventually strike Iran to keep them from obtaining nuclear weapons, if others do not prevent it first. Beck said he believed McCain would be worse as President than Obama, not because he does not respect McCain's war service, but because he thinks Americans are being galvanized to oppose the leftist policies of Obama whereas they would not have been as shocked by McCain's policies that are less radical, but not really...

In reference to the September 12th Tea Party event held in Washington DC, quoting a “DC Fire Department Report”, regardless of what any media reported, the size of the crowd of those who attended this event were never estimated by DC Fire & EMS. Any reports contrary to this are false. The DC Fire & EMS Department does not estimate crowd sizes. A Twitter posting estimating the crowd gathering at Lafayette Park only as “large, possibly as many as 60 thousand” stated that it was an early estimation of that specific area (Lafayette Park), not the number of participants in...

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day". popinjay • \PAH-pin-jay\ • noun a strutting supercilious person Example sentence: Shopping was going fine until, in one of the boutiques, a popinjay of a sales clerk clearly snubbed us. Did you know? Popinjays and parrots are birds of a feather. "Popinjay," from the Middle French word "papegai," is the original name for a parrot in English. (The French word in turn came from the Arabic word for the bird, "babghā." "Parrot," which...

O'Rielly just said 75,000 were in the march, he said the "Let's be careful there, the fire department says only 75,000 were there" when a conservative guest said there were 1 million people there. Sigh ...
