Do a google search for "terrorist sympathizer" and hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button.

Hey, actually, I think Bill is on to something. If the terrorists want to attack us, why don't we just give them people to kill. Lets start with all the people who GOT OUT OF MILITARY SERVICE for B.S. reasons (like having a tail, etc) while people like my dad got drafted.

See, Bill ain't so stoopid after all. Stovie is though. "Snipet of words out of context", LMAO, what a complete, unabridged moron!!!!!!!

SS: On this page, you do seem to be the close minded one - dismissing hard evidence of what O'Reilly said.

You might well have a reasonable defense of what he said, or a different interpretation - but what he said was darn clear. I think he deserves the jokes.

Here's what he said after San Fransisco voted to keep military recruiters from public schools (O'Reilly talks as if this means banning all military recruiting in the City). I read that he, at first, put out an innacurate transcript, but here is what he said:

" Hey, you know, if you want to ban military recruiting, fine, but I'm not going to give you another nickel of federal money. You know, if I'm the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, 'Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead.'

"And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead."

Howard Stern is being interviewed on the Factor tonight. They showed some hi-lites and it looks like a good interview. In a car crash sort of way.

I tried listening to Stern for a while - to me, his show was mostly boring twaddle intermixed with moments of real brilliance.

After prominent lefty lawyer William Kuntsler said he wouldn't defend Stern against obscenity charges from the FCC. He started referring to the lawyer as "Mr. Privatepartsler" - I thought thagt was brilliant.

Stern represents the basest and crudest example in radio. Shock jocks are just so damn lame. The skit that ripped it for me was when he called this retarded girl on the phone who answered every question with yes. Stern starts asking her questions like, "Did you do the whole football team at school at once?"..."Yes.". Piece of shlt. BUT, I can admit that he was unfairly targeted and over abused by the FCC.

Like him or not, he is a person doing a job. The only part of his show that I think has maintained its level of funniness thru the years (I used to listen often, years ago) is when they do the news. That manages to stay fresh, being that the stories change. The old crude jokes are blase to me anymore. Sick of that whole schtick, but there's an audience out there and that's the point. He is, hands-down, the best at what he does. No doubt about it. I'm just sick of what he does,. And, as for that picking on handicapped people, Nigal, I don't go for that. It's a cheap laugh and I don't like it one bit. But, don't totally hate the guy. The reality is, he's doing a job. As long as there's that many people laughing at unfortunates out there, question why there's such a market out there for it, as opposed to questioning his character.

It is pathetic when humor consists of "we're cool because we are better off than this injured/handicapped/afflicted person."

Things like this make me remember what Hunter Thompson said when everyone was ranking on Nixon after the Watergate scandal laid him low, "I want to be remembered as someone who kicked Nixon when he was up." I find more humor and more to admire in kicking people, or laughing at people who are up.

I agree, Ped. He's portraying the persona that his fans want to hear. The shock jock extraordinaire (sp). Example:

I despise reality tv. That's my personal opinion. I think a lot of these shows bring out the worst in people and glorify dysfunction. I think that America has enough problems and dysfunction without spending my few precious hours (off-duty) of my day watching this crap. But, hey. There's a market for it. And, as pitiful as I feel it is, I have to say that it apparently serves its purpose. Not a great puropose, IMO, but a purpose nonetheless...

The late-night program hosted by David Letterman is the toughest interview show on television.

That's because Mr. Letterman is a smart guy who can spot a phony with telescopic accuracy and expects his guests to bring something to the table. If a guest begins to sink on this show, the bottom is a long way down.

yep nigal, but i'm not really a letterman fan either.
i'd say it was sorta similar to when michael moore went on the o'reilly factor. i'm not a fan of either guy, but MM made BO'R look like an ass in his home court too.

and who was it... rosey odonell(?) that looked like a crazy beotch when she ambushed burt reynolds(?)

Bill O’Reilly: “I think that the Iraq thing has been full of unintended consequences and it’s a vital thing for the country and it's brutal, it’s absolutely brutal. We should all take it very seriously. This simplistic stuff about hating Bush or he lied and all this stuff, does the country no good at all. We've got to win this thing. You have to win it. And even though it's a screw-up, giant, massive, all right, right now, for everybody's protection, it's best for the world to have a democracy in that country functioning and friendly to the West, is it not?”

David Letterman: “Yes, absolutely.”

O’Reilly: “Okay, so let's stop with the lying and the this and the that and the undermining and let's get him. That is putting us all in danger. So our philosophy is we call it as we see it. Sometimes you agree, sometimes you don't. Robust debate is good. But we believe that the United States, particularly the military, are doing a noble thing, a noble thing. The soldiers and Marines are noble. They're not terrorists. And when people call them that, like Cindy Sheehan called the insurgents 'freedom fighters,’ we don't like that. It is a vitally important time in American history. And we should all take it very seriously. Be very careful with what we say.”

Letterman: “Well, and you should be very careful with what you say also.” [audience applause]

O’Reilly: “Give me an example.”

Letterman: “How can you possibly take exception with the motivation and the position of someone like Cindy Sheehan?”

O’Reilly: “Because I think she’s run by far-left elements in this country. I feel bad for the woman.”

Letterman: “Have you lost family members in armed conflict?”

O’Reilly: “No, I have not.”

Letterman: “Well, then you can hardly speak for her, can you?” [applause]

O’Reilly: “I’m not speaking for her. Let me ask you this question.”

Letterman, referring back to O’Reilly’s examples of a war on Christmas: “Let’s go back to your little red and green stories.”

O’Reilly: “This is important, this is important. Cindy Sheehan lost a son, a professional soldier in Iraq, correct? She has a right to grieve any way she wants, she has a right to say whatever she wants. When she says to the public that the insurgents and terrorists are 'freedom fighters,’ how do you think, David Letterman, that makes people who lost loved ones, by these people blowing the Hell out of them, how do you think they feel, waht about their feelings, sir?”

Letterman: “What about, why are we there in the first place? [applause] The President himself, less than a month ago said we are there because of a mistake made in intelligence. Well, whose intelligence? It was just somebody just get off a bus and handed it to him?”

Bill O’Reilly: “No.”

Letterman: “No, it was the intelligence gathered by his administration.”

O’Reilly: “By the CIA.”

Letterman: “Yeah, so why are we there in the first place? I agree to you, with you that we have to support the troops. They are there, they are the best and the brightest of this country. [audience applause] There’s no doubt about that. And I also agree that now we’re in it it’s going to take a long, long time. People who expect it’s going to be solved and wrapped up in a couple of years, unrealistic, it’s not going to happen. However, however, that does not eliminate the legitimate speculation and concern and questioning of ‘Why the Hell are we there to begin with?’”

O’Reilly: “If you want to question that, and then revamp an intelligence agency that’s obviously flawed, the CIA, okay. But remember, MI-6 in Britain said the same thing. Putin’s people in Russia said the same thing, and so did Mubarak’s intelligence agency in Egypt.”

Letterman: “Well then that makes it all right?”

O’Reilly: “No it doesn’t make it right.”

Letterman: “That intelligence agencies across the board makes it alright that we’re there?”

O’Reilly: “It doesn’t make it right.”

Letterman: “See, I’m very concerned about people like yourself who don’t have nothing but endless sympathy for a woman like Cindy Sheehan. Honest to Christ.” [audience applause]

O’Reilly: “No, I’m sorry.”

Letterman: “Honest to Christ.”

“O’Reilly: “No way. [waits for applause to die down] No way you’re going to get me, no way that a terrorist who blows up women and children.”

Letterman: “Do you have children?”

O’Reilly: “Yes I do. I have a son the same age as yours. No way a terrorist who blows up women and children is going to be called a ‘freedom fighter’ on my program.” [mild audience applause]

Letterman: “I’m not smart enough to debate you point to point on this, but I have the feeling, I have the feeling about 60 percent of what you say is crap. [audience laughter] But I don’t know that for a fact. [more audience applause]

Paul Shafer: “60 percent.”

Letterman: “60 percent. I'm just spit-balling here.”

O’Reilly: “Listen, I respect your opinion. You should respect mine.”

Letterman: “Well, ah, I, okay. But I think you’re-”

O’Reilly: “Our analysis is based on the best evidence we can get.”

Letterman: “Yeah, but I think there’s something, this fair and balanced. I'm not sure that it's, I don't think that you represent an objective viewpoint.”

O’Reilly: “Well, you’re going to have to give me an example if you're going to make those claims.”

Letterman: “Well I don’t watch your show so that would be impossible.”

O’Reilly: “Then why would you come to that conclusion if you don't watch the program?”

Letterman: “Because of things that I’ve read, things that I know.”

O’Reilly: “Oh come on, you're going to take things that you've read. You know what say about you? Come on. Watch it for a couple, look, watch it for a half hour. You'll get addicted. You'll be a Factor fan, we'll send you a hat.”

Letterman: “You’ll send me a hat. Well, send Cindy Sheehan a hat”

O’Reilly: “I’ll be happy to.”
