Bill O'Reilly has told Time magazine that he has no regrets about pushing Fox News's lawsuit against Al Franken. "This man is being run by some very powerful forces in this country, and we needed to confront it," O'Reilly maintained. He did not define the "powerful forces." O'Reilly compared Franken with Donald Segretti, the "political prankster" who served four and a half months in prison on charges of dispensing false campaign literature for Richard Nixon. "Franken's job is to do exactly what Donald Segretti did for Nixon -- dig up dirt on people. He is not a satirist; he is...

Well, it was just on the O'Reilly Factor, but I was surprised to watch as Gephardt really didn't directly answer any question except for the one on taking the 10 Commandments out of the Alabama courthouse.

It's no secret that Fox News Channel talker Bill O'Reilly is no fan of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton. But in his new book, "Who's Looking Out for You?" O'Reilly goes further than ever before, warning that the former first lady is especially "dangerous." "Of all the active politicians in America, I consider Mrs. Clinton to be the most dangerous," "The O'Reilly Factor" host contends. "She has her eye on the big prize and she will buy as many votes as she can to capture the presidency." The top-rated host predicts that Sen. Clinton won't make her move until...

<p>Bill O'Reilly sits down for a one-on-one interview with National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice Wednesday, September 24 at 8pm and 11pm ET. From fighting terrorism around the globe to battling critics here at home, get revealing insight from the president's inner circle.</p>

Anybody see that total idiot Al Franken spewing his foul-mouth garbage before the DEAN campaign fund raiser as shown on O'Reilly? I'm keeping a list of the times Howard "The Little Corporal" Dean is sticking his foot in his mouth. When the number of retractions equals the number of people who would actually vote for him...he loses!

The New York Times' Frank Rich used his Sunday column to lash out against Mel Gibson, "The Passion" -- his new film about the death of Jesus, and Fox News star Bill O’Reilly. Rich leads his polemic with Gibson's comments about Rich published in the New Yorker: ‘‘I want to kill him. I want his intestines on a stick. … I want to kill his dog." Though Rich laughed off Gibson's “death threat,” writing “that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals may be relieved to learn that I do not have a dog," he launched a nasty attack against...

CUMMULATIVE WORDS SPOKEN BY O'REILLY AND SULLUM DURING THE INTERVIEW. THE INTERVIEW WAS ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OVER BEFORE SULLUM GOT THE EDGE In the first mathematical analysis of Bill O'Reilly ever done, the Review has incontrovertibly proved what was previously believed only anecdotally: O'Reilly is a bully and a jerk. The study examined O'Reilly's interview [sic] with Jacob Sullum who has written an important new book on drugs, "Saying Yes: In Defense of Drug Use." Using the advanced technology of Microsoft's Word Count, the Review determined that Sullum only got in 35 more words than the interviewer, O'Reilly. O'Reilly got in...

SEATTLE - So, it's not just me. Read Joel Connelly's column in Friday's Seattle P-I. Read Ellen Goodman's column in the Seattle Times Friday. Or, just give my friend Mikey a call. Mikey stopped me yesterday to comment on how viciously strident conservative broadcasters have become. How Limbaugh, Hanity [SIC]and O'Reilly, for example, figure that if we don't support President Bush in EVERY instance, on EVERY issue, at ALL times, then we are un-American. That's it's not enough to merely mistrust liberals or moderates, we must disdain them, or we are un-American. That if we don't let right-wing anally-conservative broadcasters...

<p>This is very important and somewhat repetitive and I'm sorry about that, but again it's very important.</p> <p>There is a move in the United States to change the country. The ACLU (search) is hooking up with a number of liberal judges to declare things that they don't like as unconstitutional.</p>

<p>WASHINGTON -- In a sales surge that surprised politicians and booksellers alike, five liberal books will be among The New York Times's top 15 hard-cover nonfiction bestsellers on today's list, mounting what some sales specialists see as a left-wing assault on the conservatives' decade-long hold on popular culture.</p>

For a country smack in the middle of World War III, we certainly are a blasé bunch. We're worried about how much fighting the people who want to kill us will cost, and whether we have an exit strategy in Iraq. Craven politicians and crazed columnists are second-guessing President Bush, who at times looks like he's first-guessing the nation's foreign policy. Since Bush, for some inexplicable reason, will not spell it out for you, it falls on me to do so. There are around the world thousands of Islamic fanatics who want to kill Americans because they believe Allah is...

Just saw this on the Fox website: Friday: Savage in the No Spin Zone Controversial talk show host Michael Savage says he knows what's wrong with America and how to fix it. What's Savage’s mission? He'll tell Bill in a no holds barred interview

<p>BILL O'REILLY, HOST: Now for the top story tonight. Arnold Schwarzenegger enters the no-spin zone. Here he is, from San Jose, California.</p> <p>Appreciate you coming on. You know, you've got more courage than a lot of these career politicians who won't come on this program.</p>

<p>O'Reilly just announced on his show that Arnold will be appearing on his show for a 30 minute interview next Wednesday, Sept. 10.</p>

Fox News superstar Bill O'Reilly had a few choice words for admitted liar Al Franken at a party last night celebrating Peter Jennings' 20th anniversary as sole anchor of "World News Tonight," saying he'd like to sue Franken but it would be a fruitless exercise. When asked by a New York Times reporter about Franken's new book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right," which features O'Reilly on the cover, the prime-time powerhouse sneered: "Why would anybody listen to him? He says he's a satirist. If Franken's a satirist, then I'm...

Eons ago, when I was a little kid, I dreaded this time of year because school was about to start. You see, unlike many tykes today, I hated school. I loathed going there and having to work my butt off. I wanted my self-esteem considered. I wanted social promotion. I wanted nurturing and understanding. But nooooo, all I got was more homework. My grammar school class at St. Brigid's on Long Island was packed: 60 students and one small nun with a large ruler. Here's a joke: How can you tell a male who attended Catholic school? One earlobe is...

The trouble with so many of Ann Coulter's critics is they're conspicuously ill-informed. Take for instance, their attacks on the late Sen. Joe McCarthy, the legendary anti-Communist she champions in her current best seller, Treason. When Fox News's Bill O'Reilly said McCarthy "demonized people who didn't deserve to be demonized," Coulter shot back: "Name one." O'Reilly balked for a moment, then boldly proclaimed: "I'll name one. Dalton Trumbo." O'Reilly was breathtakingly mistaken. When Coulter countered McCarthy "had nothing to do with Trumbo," O'Reilly blithely compounded his error. "Sure, he did," he said, and then plowed ahead, "It was a House...

    Fair and Unbalanced Racism     -     08/29/03      By      Rodolfo F. Acuna      Fox News and the O'Reilly factor have touched off a tempest in the      proverbial teapot by denouncing California Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante for      not renouncing his affiliation with a Chicano student organization of      which he was a member in the 1970s. These so-called journalists equate      MECHA with the Klu Klux Klan and violence, which at a time of general      hysteria over terrorism is irresponsible.      Moreover, the accusations happen to be unfounded and lack any probative     ...

<p>The recent bared-teeth snarlfest between Bill O'Reilly and Al Franken has provided the perfect antidote to the final dog days of summer. Never have two more deserving people found each other - just in time to make one look like a silly bully and the other a best-selling author.</p> <p>The two have been embroiled over Franken's new book: "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right." The cover includes an unflattering photo of O'Reilly, who is, do we need reminding, the most popular anchor in cable TV.</p>
