RYSCAVAGE: He was protecting the dignity of the temple, the people who prayed in it and the merchants who worked in it. O'REILLY: That's exactly what President Bush and the U.S.A. was [sic] doing when they went in to remove Saddam. They were protecting the dignity of the Iraqi people and they were protecting the dignity of the world so we wouldn't have to deal with a guy who clearly was out to hurt people...So we were doing exactly what Jesus did in the temple, weren't we? FATHER RYSCAVAGE: No, I don't think so The USA, just like Jesus in the temple. you heard it right there on the No Spin Zone. double hah.. then later he calls the Internet a "threat to democracy" and a "garbage dump", then this: HARDY: Are you telling me you want to shut down the Internet and keep people from finding out information? TROTTA: No, I want to keep it responsible and safe for democracy instead of a garbage can for people's ridiculous fantasies. O'REILLY: Shouldn't there be some standards of behavior, some kind of standard? TROTTA: Exactly. HARDY: I believe the viewers can judge for themselves. O'REILLY: Do you? |

"I will vote for – it's really depressing to say it but it's just something I've resigned to and I'll have to swallow it – whoever the Democratic nominee is. Nobody is going to be as bad for free thinking, right-minded individuals than George Bush. I don't want to see that motherf*cker in office when he doesn't have to do anything for political reasons. That's really scary. If this shit doesn't scare you now, when he's making concessions for political reasons, giving him another four years where he doesn't have to worry about being reelected, we are f*cked. We're hugely f*cked. And you better get yourself a Bible. " |

Recently O'Reilly smugly said CNN is pornography, because of the link from CNN to AOL who back 50 Cent (picking on more mediocre rappers again, Bill? Sure you want to go there, Mr. "Those Who Trespass"?) Anways, you'd think before doing this he'd realize that Rupert Murdoch owns the satellites that transmit most of the world's pornography... and thats before I even run the gamut of Fox's decades of completely un-racy, family friendly entertainment. |
while Fox continues to have a fit about the ads submitted to MoveOn.org comparing Bush to Hitler, they let the New York Post (also owned by the NewsCorp) get away with this (cut/paste) http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:J_H4rB-m2bcJ:www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/4965.htm+Ralph+Peters+Dean+&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 the article compares Dean to Nazi Germany several times, including the terms "herr howie", and called his supporters "the internet gestapo", comparing them to "hitler's brownshirts" |

Bill's been trying to get Howard on his show for awhile, and in an interview the other day Dean said he wouldnt go on the show because "All he does is yell" Well thats good enough for me, but I've got a better reason: Gephardt was on O'Reilly a few months back, and he and Bill talked about the 10 Commandments monument thats in Alabama. Bill asked why Dick is against the monument but for "in god we trust" being on currency. Gephardt said the monument is coercive and intimidating and erected specifically to reflect the judge's religious belief, which is improper for a Court. Now regardless of whether or not you think this is a good argument: Next broadcast, O'Reilly brings on another guest to talk about the same subject. He talks about Dick being on the show the night before and that when he asked him about the issue "He couldn't answer it. He couldn't explain. Couldn't give an answer." So why the fuck should the supposed frontrunner for the presidency go on the show, if his reward (if he's not shouted down on the actual broadcast) is to only be completely 100% lied about the very next show? |

Lots of surveys coming up, but many are urban reconnaissance work, which involves finding all the buildings and sites that are already known to be either included on or eligible to be included on the National Register of Historic Places. Not really archaeology, but it puts the same money in the pocket. |
He got $1600 for his work. And unfortunately, he found that the property line is much further into my aunt's yard, giving the neighbor much more of an advantage, than the neighbor was claiming. But they won't tell him that because, well, bitch is crazy, yo. They've had to call the cops 4 or 5 times on him already. |

O'Reilly finally lives up to his promise to apologize if no WMDs are found... sort of... well, not really he was kind of a dick about having to apologize and put all the blame on the CIA not the apology promised: "And I said on my program, if -- if -- the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush administration again." now if he could bring Scott Ritter on his show and apologize to HIM, that would be something. |

My Fox trot with Bill O'Reilly By HEATHER MALLICK From Saturday's Globe and Mail E-mail this Article Print this Article Advertisement It's someone's fault I appeared on The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News Tuesday night to discuss a column I wrote welcoming the presence of American deserters in Canada. So who's responsible? Either Globe and Mail TV critic John Doyle, the Dalai Lama or me. Eeny meeny miney mo, Doyle. Mr. Doyle, a dear friend — together we have plucked the gowans fine — has long campaigned for Fox News to run in Canada. I think he regards it as a second Comedy Network. It's all staged, so we can all laugh at its Bush-licking rendition of the news, its ridiculous "fair and balanced" slogan and this man Bill O'Reilly, whose talk show is really more of a spitting contest gone off track. Al Franken calls Mr. O'Reilly a "lying, splotchy bully," and proves it in his book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, but Mr. Doyle thinks he's a great comic creation, I guess, like Britain's The Pub Landlord, this guy who's always ranting about how Great Britain used to be called Fookin' Fantastic Britain until all the immigrants arrived. But Mr. Doyle is Irish and he likes his comedy blacker than a raven's eyeball. I should have remembered this, more fool me. Eeny meeny miney mo, Dalai Lama. It's not enough to show compassion to people you love, the great man told Canadians this week. You also have to show it to people who hate you. This was lingering in my mind as Nate Fredman, the nice assistant to Mr. O'Reilly, the man who once said to the son of a Twin Towers victim, "Get out of my studio before I tear you to fucking pieces," urged me to appear. You're the best kind of guest, Nate told me. You really believe in what you're saying, so you don't take it personally when ..... and then his voice tailed off. Nate was so sweet, and then the Dalai's (the Lama's?) words echoed in the distance. Eeny meeny miney mo, me. I always say yes to American TV because how else are Americans going to hear about radical notions like feeding the poor and sheltering the gentle, or letting black people vote in Florida? So I asked Nate for a car and driver and a makeup person to lacquer my face into immobility, and I did one of those remote-studio things where the host can see you but you can't see him and he asks you questions through an ear mike. And that's when the trouble started. Mr. O'Reilly is not a smart man. He's like one of those old guys you see on the street ringing a bell and shouting about eternal damnation. He talks to his trousers. You know the type. They let wasps nest in their hair so they can lure weasels, trap 'em and eat 'em slow over the summer. We were supposed to be discussing American deserters fleeing to Canada; instead, he went off on some wild thing about the mayor of Vancouver injecting people with heroin and unless Canada shapes up, "we" will boycott you and destroy your economy, just like "we" did to France. I said France seemed to be doing fine. He implied that France now looked like Dresden in 1945. I hadn't heard that. I said the United States couldn't boycott Canadian goods because it would be mutually damaging. "We're your biggest trading partner." "No, you're not." (We are.) Naturally, I wanted to reply, "Yes, we are," so that he could say "No, we're not," and then I'd say, "Everything you say bounces off me and reflects back on you, so there," but I couldn't regress that far. Mr. Doyle would have been shrieking. And then he asked me if I was a socialist, and I said, "Certainly," and it was as if I'd said I like donkey semen in my latte instead of milk. He then went into a mad rant about lefties like Mr. Doyle and how I was a typical Globe columnist. I said, no, truthfully, I think I'm regarded as "idiosyncratic" (the first six-syllable word ever spoken on the O'Reilly show), and he erupted again. It was like talking to a manic child who had eaten 800 cherry Pop Tarts for breakfast. He kept interrupting, so that no point could be made that could win a reply, much less a reasoned response — not so much a gabble of sound bites as a howling from Bedlam. Overnight, I received hundreds of e-mail messages from American men who think my private parts have gone communist, if you grasp my meaning. The saddest thing was the e-mail from kind Americans, apologizing for their "idiot," quivering with humiliation and praising me for having remained calm and composed under fire, not realizing that I was simply frozen with disbelief. I have replied to each one of the nice ones. The whole degraded debacle and everyone's reaction to it, including mine, reminded me that Americans now have to cope with a new surrealism in public life. In the 1936 Spanish Civil War entries in a diary I read long ago, by someone who may well have been Stephen Spender, the writer describes an O'Reilly-esque scene. "A man squats and defecates in the street, without comment." Re-reading these diaries decades later, Spender writes, "What on earth did I expect him to say? Olé?" |
