Yep, a real fuckstick, and like most pundits of his ilk, they experience meltdowns similarly.....Prediction: Sex and Drug Scandal, when he has served his uselessness for the media.

When guests come on Bill's show and they don't say what he wants them to say, he gets cranky.

I normally don't upvote mindless drivel, but O'Reilly is curiously riveting when he's so polarizing and rude. The moment you appeal to reason, he raises his voice. Amazing.

He is a mind numbing human being. I can't wait until he is off the air. I can't until Americans start getting their news from good role models again. Maybe we'll start seeing smarter people in the White House.

The States have a lot of power and influence, we need to start seeing smart people in those positions.

This is ridiculous!
I wonder if anyone at all sided with O'Reilly. Even his most adherent supporter must have realized that he was behaving like a 5th grader.

Where's quantummushroom on clips like this? My guess is that he's not saying anything because even he can tell that O'reilly is an ass.

I wish feux news would get back to what they do best: High-speed car chases and important issues like why Anna Nichole had to die, and who's the father of her baby.

Well, I tried to keep an open mind and did think she was generalizing at the beginning, but then O'Reilly loses it when assuming everything she was going to say by himself and not allowing her to reason anything.

He's mad the person he interviewed didn't answer his question how he wanted. And cut off the mic. He's probably feeling pretty manly right now. Sick.

Also, I'm sure O'Reilly will dedicate an entire show to analyzing her body language with one of his "experts".

That's his new thing... yelling match with invited guest, next day: entire show agonizing over the details of the interview to prove himself the superior life-form.

actually im pretty sure most of his audience are 5th graders (or at least have the mental capacity of one) I cant wait to see Olbermann's take on this one.

Oh and I heard that next week oreily argues that the world is flat and then clubs a bunch of baby seals because they are supporting the environmentalists' agenda.

As soon as she asks how many years he served, she's cut off. Will someone please get rid of this worthless human being?

In Bill's favor, she does not answer his questions directly, and she does generalize some things. He does, however ask pointed questions that clearly favor his side of the argument (if there wasn't one, he turns it into one). In the Colonel's favor, he turns every point she makes around as if she arguing against America. I agree with most opinions here that think he should be shut up.

The anser she gives is not direct becuse the questoin was a leeding questoin. if she sead sead one anser over another she would be liying becuse the situatoin is not a binary one. hence only a fucktard wud give a binary anser . no one know for sure if the troops were in the right waters. usa canot take the moral highground over iran when it comes to hostage treatment when usa has done exactly the same thing in the past with hostages. Bill o'reilly and probably a large goup of amercans and brits dont understand the realities of the world and think everything has to be emedeatly binary. it is far esear to be binary as it requires far less thinking. i think this is one of the main atractoins of religoin for manny people as well. It allso is a resoin why people think librals are indesisve becuse thay would rather sumone make a desisoin evan if it is the wrong one rather than waiting for informatoin to make the right desisoin.

Bill O'Reilly - I dont know how to describe what I just saw. Surely no one could be that single-mindedly ignorant or stupid. How can he stay on the air? Seriously? I really do not understand how this is possible. That is in my top few "worst interviews ever conducted".

Ann Wright - Obviously well versed on the topic and responds amazingly well to the difficult situation. I also agree with her point, "How can America challenge Iran on their actions when many of America's recent actions in Iraq and Guantanamo are clearly breaches of the Geneva Conventions?".

Such a fucking armchair wanna-be-intellectual loudmouthed do-nothing loser. It's not even about hatred for the guy as much as it is pity, and disbelief that he continues to have a program which is aired.

The vid was boring, but upvote for the tags!

He cut her off when she mentioned his lack of military service. He's such a five-year old.

I find it strange that you want him off the air, I thought your reactions on the interview was that he doesn't let her speak freely? So this does not apply both ways? I think O'reilly was very patient, letting her talk without stopping even when he wants to talk back, and she only being interested in talking about USA geneva breaches, when the issue to focus on was about Iran and Britain, not USA. Be proper, answer the interviewers questions, don't start ranting how bad we are as some sort of defence for others who would do this regardless of US positions.

God, I wish there were a way to talk about some people without using their name or showing their video. People like this thrive on attention, positive or negative, so even bashing him helps make him celebrity he is. It's so frustrating considering how unethical and horrible he and his group are.

DJ Bill O'Reilly... he's a caustic ass.

It's a little strange that she wouldn't actually answer the question, and at at every available opportunity, she makes it a point to tell us what America needs to do to have the moral ground. Funny that.

It's a popular and maybe proper thing to hate O'Reilly and Fox News in general, but this clip doesn't show me anything except him directly asking her about the Iran / Britain situation and her taking ever moment of airtime to explain how America has done wrong and evade every question asked. He continues to let her rant off topic throughout the entire "interview" without ever getting anywhwere on the topic at hand. At the end you can hear the music start and you know he is coming up on a hard break soon .. he tries to end the interview but she just won't shut up. Eventually he cuts the mic and wraps it up for commercial because this is a "show" not a news broadcast. I think if people were to read this as a transcript not knowing who O'Reilly was .. opinions would be different.

Also I have to add .. the poster of this video said:

"A related I found recently by Terry Jones in the Guardian UK. and an actual video of the British Soldiers apologizing and explaining their "humiliating" conditions can be found here..."

I don't know what you don't understand here. But simply being filmed and broadcast as a prisoner is considered humiliating. And if you think the Iranian government let any video out that does not portray their behavior regarding these prisoners in the most perfect way than you are crazy. You have no idea what gun was held to the heads of these British soldiers to say their "apologies".

What I don't understand is the continued curiosity and intrigue with these clips. There is such an obvious, palpable, and even vehement reaction to Bill O'Reilly that it leaves me flummoxed that people would even give him the time of day. I see this stuff in the top 15 and I just don't get it.

If for any reason silvercord it's just an interesting analysis of the current culture of our society. Bill O'Reilly is one of the most popular "News" casters in this "post 9/11" world. If/when shit hits the fan again I am sure these clips will be good evidence of why... Plus they blow my mind

Not sure why everyone keeps asking "How is he still on the air?"

"Fox News" needs to enter the American vocabulary as an oxymoron like "Miltary Intelligence" and "Microsoft Works." This is the network whose "news" programs (and even THEY admit that O'Reilly isn't honestly news, it's editorial and commentary) have anchors who give their opinion every 5 seconds and sensationalize things to the point where the Enquirer and the Star would blush. They openly mock stories and spoon-feed their viewers exactly what they should be thinking. While I'll be the first to admit that the verbage on most Republican-labelled-liberal media outlets are offensive to the concept of journalism (CNN, his name is PRESIDENT Bush, not Mister Bush), Fox News is more biased (to the right) than most of the "liberal media" that Republicans hate so much. Just this week, the Washington Post, the poster-child for the "liberal media" that the Republicans love to hate, called Pelosi "foolish" for her little trip to Syria. When was the last time Fox News called Dubya "potentially criminal" or even "irresponsible"?

Yeah... thought so.

But yeah... O'Reilly is a moron and a juvenile.

She was saying the question implies a double standard, that USA also disrespects Geneva. It was the premise of the question that was dishonest, that caused her to address America's flouting of human rights.

When America gets its hands on prisoners, I see their buttholes on the internet. She was just trying to put Iranian violations of decency into context; contextualizing is itself understanding, it's not "changing the subject".

No, one word: Ratings

>> It was the premise of the question that was dishonest,

The "premise"? Anyone can ask a question of why, there is no "rule" to say you have to be squeaky clean yourself to ask a pointed question.

>> contextualizing is itself understanding, it's not "changing the subject"

Answer the question(s) properly, then mention any reservations. To avoid the question by completely pointing another way is like excusing islam because christianity also was violent.

"The UN says that this was a violation of the Geneva conventions (which America and the UK routinely flout) and they say this was an unprovoked (though obviously with much provocation) act of aggression by Iran. Do you concur?"

Concur with the assertion that there's no provocation in surrounding Iran with military action and declaring the nation evil? Concur with the assertion that the Geneva Conventions is a moral and legal standard that Iran should be expected to observe, despite UK and US ignoring it? Or concur with the underlying, unstated premise of the question, that Iran is behaving provocatively?

I'm sorry Samson, I think your politics are skewing your perception of the video. It's sort of a bizarre rhetorical turn you've made, in maligning Christianity and Islam in this context, so perhaps that's the agenda you're looking to advance in attempting to justify O'Reilly's smarminess.

Unfortunately for you, Christianity and Islam are quite immaterial here, despite your socially-acquired instincts to the contrary. Fascinating, that you point to Islam and Christianity in the same sentence in which you deride the woman for "avoiding the question by completely pointing another way".

as an outsider i think the only important issue here is whether the viewers of that network understand how totally biased it is towards the darker aspects of human nature. Is this the case?

I've heard in various places that the average viewer of Fox News is over 60 years of age. The 60 year old average is not uncommon for news networks, according to several sources, though O'Reilly's audience is believe to be particularly geriatric.

(eg http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/11/arts/television/11keit.html?ex=1310270400&en=4ccc4d43ec65612e&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss)

In summary:
Ann Wright: Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye (Matthew 7:5)
Bill O'Reilly: You hate America! Death to the infidel.

Bill O'Reilly is the world's biggest hypocrite who claims to be a Christian and never read the sermon on the mount. He refuses to accept any kind of criticism of anything he believes and he doesn't even give people time to explain. He's an irrational man who thinks with his gut and ignores the evidence.

The British prisoners were in Iranian waters by their own confession, were well-treated, and the only way the Geneva convention was violated was by distributing videos. The videos showed them having a good time in Iran in what looked like a nice hotel, not a regular prison. Bill O'Reilly was really scraping the bottom of the barrel for any reason to get people motivated to invade Iran.
