“Apparently sparked by the PlayStation 3 launch, conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly took off after video game culture and digital technology generally in yesterday’s Radio Factor,” GamePolitics reports. “The controversial talk show host, who advertises his program as a ‘no spin zone’ offered the following spin on Apple’s iPod:”
I don’t own an iPod. I would never wear an iPod… If this is your primary focus in life – the machines… it’s going to have a staggeringly negative effect, all of this, for America… did you ever talk to these computer geeks? I mean, can you carry on a conversation with them? …I really fear for the United States because, believe me, the jihadists? They’re not playing the video games. They’re killing real people over there.

Promote his podcast on the site. LOL. he Just insulted his entire crew who creates his show, from cameramen to the web IT people.
MW: Cause. ’cause hes an idiot.
O’Really is a pompous, right-wing jackass. Like I give a shit that he wants to spout off about iPods. Verbal diarrhea.
Just an example of old farts who fear what they do not understand. Same reason Larry King has never searched the internet.
I wish jihadists would kill him!!!!
Wanker…
Was this a stupid, hypocritical thing for hin to say? Yep. But I think he’s trying (and failing) to make a different point. It’s not iPods per se that he really wants to attack (after all, are there really 70 million geeks in America- are they the ONLY ones buying iPods?). I think he meant to make a point about complaicency. About life being too comfortable and not dealing with the “important” issues of the day. About not having the stamina to stand up to fascism no matter what the cost.
Personnally, I think that may be true. But to make that arguement using iPods as a scapegoat is absurd.
Just my $0.02 worth..
What is he talking about?
Coincidentally, on this day in 1942 Adolf Hitler identified the works of J.S. Bach as what’s wrong with Germany.
This is great news. Just ask France and Ludacris. The best way to increase your sales is to have Bill O’Reilly boycott you.
Don’t buy an i-pod, but listen to the podcast huh? I won’t waste time swearing about this stupid asshole, and I say that without contradiction, or spin.
I wouldn’t exactly call that “slamming” the iPod, sounds like he is more worried about the gamer trolls that have no lives (which after watching the frenzy over the PS3 and Wii this weekend, I’m not so sure I really blame him for that).
Either way, virtually all these political types (both conservatives and liberals too) are total techno idiots. I totally ignore anything they ever say regarding technology.
Ummm yeah. This guy’s a complete whack job anyway. How would an inane and stereotypical comment like this surprise anyone??
Hey, I am a conservative and I dislike O’Reilly. I usually hate when he agrees with me for fear it will set my cause back.
O’Reilly for President.
Just ANOTHER REASON to hate this guy. ‘No Spin Zone’ and ‘Fair and Balanced’ are the farthest from the truth regarding O’Reilly and Fox. ‘The Republican Propaganda Channel’ is more like it.
Nice. Plenty of red meat for the unemployed libtards trolling MDN today…
Yes! I’ve always wanted to be able to carry photos of Bill O’Reilly wherever I go, because – y’know – he’s so dreamy…
I like Bill. Recently he has gottena little wierd. He is definitely stepping away from reality. I guess his story is proof positive that fame and money can screw up anyone.
I mean do you really beleive that Ballmer will ever behave normally again? I bet you he considers the “Monkey Dance” to be completely normal.
just my $0.02
O’Reilly gets it.
<h1>NUTJOB!</H1>
Add this one to the Bill O’Reilly Is A Twat file. The only people that believe a word this guy says are ass backwards conservatives with little to no education OR conservatives who know better but yet support him cuz he helps their agenda. I wouldn’t be surprised if this has something to do with Al Jazzeera going Mac. I wonder what his fellow conservative pundit (read moron) Rush Limbaugh (a Mac geek) would have to say about this? Oh, right, he’s too busy making fun of people’s disabilities to even notice. Someone needs to tear this prick a new one.
According to Webster:
Fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
“Radical Conservatives” are Facists, and they’re why we’re in deep trouble now. They want you to enjoy nothing and live under oppression. At the same time, they enjoy their own lavish lifestyle. They just don’t want it for you.
These people try to fix what’s in themselves by forcing beliefs on you.
Bill O’reilly is a perfect example of a “Radical Conservative.” He’s writing children’s books when he’s not making obscene phone calls to women on his staff.
Jerk!
Bring back the Draft and put this SOB first in the list to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David Letterman put this windbag in his place.
OMG! The liberal ‘tards are out in force today. LOL
FYI, I hate both the Democrats (socialists) and the Republicans (neo-cons).
I am a libertarian! Long live the Libertarian Party!
This is all out of context. He was referring to people socializing less and using machines more. The riots over the Playstation 3.
Seriously, out of context. He’s right about the sad state of affairs when people are lining up and fighting over a PS3.
Glad he will “never wear an iPod”. I never wear mine, either.
“If this is your primary focus in life – the machines…”
I also avoid the radio. It is a strange “machine”. Like a TV. Fucking machines.
“… did you ever talk to these computer geeks? I mean, can you carry on a conversation with them?”
Man, they are like those scientists. All technical stuff and, like, other stuff. We really need to keep these computers and those geeks out of the NSA. What are they gonna do next – train soldiers in video game simulations?
“Basically what you have is a large portion of the population, mostly younger people under the age of 45, who don’t deal with reality – ever.”
They must be training to be Bill O’Reilly clones.
Hmmmm…I seriously think that one day the armed services are going to monitor these online games and recruit their best gunners this way and maybe even use something like BattleMech’s in war while you are at a base control center controlling these machines via sattelite link. I dont think Bill is even tech savvy. Not even close. I thought I read somewhere the Army was already doing something similar like that already. Maybe someone knows more about this more than I do. I dont play games like I used to.
Big Mac, you saw the Bill on David Letterman? You seriously think David Letterman has a clue about anything? I don’t agree with Bill O., but Letterman is like he is on crack. He should stick to jokes and entertainment. He is way out of his league with Politics, as O’Reilly is talking about Tech.
Really, what’s the difference between O’Reilly and Limbaugh?
That is MDN‘s take?
He managed to get off pretty lightly …
I didn’t follow the link but could someone clarify this for me? He states that people shouldn’t be becoming so obsessed with machines then states that jihadists aren’t playing video games. So are we supposed to aspire to being jihadists? I agree that technology can be taken too far but at the same time, if utilised properly it can free up time for other things. Of course, what those other things are and how valuable they are is down to the individual.
OReilly is a dipsh1t and hypocrite of mammoth proportions
People need to realize that his brand of extremism is a device to perfom one function. To get one group or another into a huge lather over particular topics so he can sell his coffee mugs, books and other crap to the people that he mongers fear into.
Thats it. He’s a shameless opportunist who I doubt even believes half the crap thats spewing from that hole in his face.
Hey g-man, doesn’t the Army already make a video game that you can download for free to see how cool it is to be in the military? Wouldn’t be far off to have those games report back to home about who has the best scores & most kills. Scary!
I don’t even think that liking or disliking o’reilly is a liberal/conservative thing. I think that disliking him is a great uniting factor for americans and people all over the world – the guy’s a nutjob.
What a clueless tool….
O’Reilly is such a pompous bastard.
Stephen Colbert has him NAILED!
http://colbertnation.com/
No wonder that his wife uses a vibrator!
Yeah, MDN really pussed out in their take on O’Reilly’s comments. Was that some sort of homage to the quality reporting at Fox News? Weak.
Why does Faux News keep his show on?
I actually don’t mind him as much as that pussy Sean Hannity, but he seems to be losing his grip.
I DO notice however, that even HE doesn’t like Mann Coulter, so, ergot, he can’t be all THAT stupid.
That’s one of the standard measures of intelligence.
If you don’t realize that Mann is a psychotic clown, then YOU YOURSELF are stupid.
MDN: Isn’t this headline, “No Scroll Zone: Bill O’Reilly slams Apple iPod,” a bit of a stretch?
I’m not an O’Reilly fan by any means but did anyone posting here actually read the quote?
“If this is your primary focus in life – the machines… it’s going to have a staggeringly negative effect, all of this, for America”
Isn’t his point that if you are completely immersed in gaming, the Mac and/or the IPod and unaware of world news and events, that’s a bad thing? Key words…PRIMARY FOCUS? If Bill Clinton said this, would you all be this fired up?
Like I said… The ‘tards are out in force today. ROTFLMAO!
Here’s a real news story for MDn to reprint:
Bill O’Reilly is a blowhard douchebag.
WTF do iPods and jihadists have anything to do with one another? Here’s a sign of a loonie statement… replace the absurd statement Bill says with pretty much any other randomly absurd statement. If it dounds the same or less crazy, then the statement is loonie. For instance, replace “playing video games” in his statement with something weird like “masturbating to Dancing wit the Stars”. Here’s how that sounds: “I really fear for the United States because, believe me, the jihadists? They’re not masturbating to Dancing with the Stars. They’re killing real people over there.” Yep. Sounds equally as loonie as Bill’s statement. Ergo, Bill is a nutjob.
It’s very simple, O’Reilly is a Fuck Tard.
Come on, if you were at Best Buy, and you were looking at MP3 players, and Bill O’Reilly walked up to you and told you his opinion on your purchase, would you think he was anything but a complete and utter buffoon?
“But they’re killing people in Iraq!” Uh… what?
Gosh, I wish he’s been there to talk me out of all those NOMEANSNO CDs, too. Fuckkin’ Canadians.
For some reason, people listen to guys like Bill and Rush on TV when they would NEVER EVER even ASSOCIATE with them in real life. Jeebus, when was the last time Bill O’Reilly went to rock concert? How is this even connected to the reality that the rest of us live in? He probably thinks of the Beatles as worthless scummy hippies.
O’Reilly can keep talking, and everything that comes out of his mouth will make him sound dumber and dumber. So he should go ahead! Maybe someday he’ll be the techno wiz that the good Senator from Alaska, Ted Stevens is.
I would not let my grandfather touch my computer. Or my frikkin’ iPod for that matter. Why oh why do we continue to give SO much credence to the opinions of moldy old white guys???

MW: ‘took’ (my job and shoved it)
“Yeah, MDN really pussed out in their take on O’Reilly’s comments.”
I don’t think so. This and that which followed the Nielsen iPod video article are two of the best MDN takes I’ve seen of recent. Instead of going off on some tyrannical diatribe, MDN killed O’Reilly in two sentences. Bravo.
As for O’Reilly’s statement, I’d like to hear what Air America has t—oh wait, nevermind.
RMN
O’Reilly hit the nail on the head. He obviously bothers the hell out of the libtards as the above posts prove. Way to go O’Reilly for hitting a nerve with these freaks.
pissy one, always wrong, gstank, jimbo von pussy, et all,
you are the f*cktards. get a clue scum of the earth.
The whole PS3 thing is really a lot of people trying to double or triple their money. These things could be selling for $2000 by the middle of December. BOOM! Christmas gifts are covered and a little money left over.
The thing with this country is Rush and O’reilly. Spouting their hatred and negativism to the minions of “ditto heads”.
Too funny. He really shouldn’t bit the hand that feeds him.
Right on jscan. You hit it. The libs will just use any excuse they can to get their panties in a bunch. Doesn’t matter if it makes sense or not.
Would the faux Republicans on this board please refrain from multiple-posting with pseudonyms?
(Or at least be a little more inventive in your attempt to camoflauge your writing style).
Oh, wait, you watch Bill O’reilly.
You are stupid.
Never mind.
My comment from digg:
For O’Reilly, ignorance = bliss
Maybe he should tell Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Steve Case, Larry Ellison, Michael Dell and others that they are unable to carry on a conversation. Yeah, tech geeks have trouble with conversations. I understand the traditiionalist point of view, having kids myself. But most of his comments are absurd. What about his crack staff that does ALL of that “research”? Show us the numbers that prove iPods are somehow making people inable to communicate. No Proof? That’s what I thought.
It is obvious the spin STARTS at the O’Reilly Factor door. What a jackass.
I’m intrigued, does he have a podcast? (Irony intended).
I frankly find Bill to be a pompus, hypocritical arse. But read his quote again: “If this is your primary focus in life – the machines… it’s going to have a staggeringly negative effect, all of this…” The iPod was an example, not the focus.
Seriously, regardless of whether video-games have some redeaming factor for military recruiting, if you look at these kids who live in front of TVs and monitors they’re social skills are pretty bad. Do you see kids running around any more? Playing group games like kickball, four-squares, or whiffleball? Kids on biks? I see far less of it than when I was a kid. And places aren’t that much more dangerous than before – we just know about it more easily.
I am amazed that simply bringing up a name can cause so many idiots to surface. ie always right. I believe that they dont get the point of the conversation. Putting the self pleasures of life (machines) as the goal or focus is wrong. Spin boy was merely pointing that out. He only wants whats best for the overweight and undereducated in America. For those over priviledged who happen to live in these shores. And let’s not forget those who claim to be tolerant but show who they really are when they open their mouths.
Hey g-man, that sounds like the plot from a movie from the ’80s called “The Last Starfighter.”
Here’s a blurb about it: ” In the classic 1984 science fiction movie “The Last Starfighter” — the first film where all special effects are computer generated — a teenage video game wizard from Earth named Alex is recruited to pilot a Starfighter space ship against an alien armada and save the universe from evil.”
Actually, Opie, I perfectly understand the premise.
In fact, I would add the point that part of parental responsibility is to be judicious in alotting time for video games, etc. Many parents are weak.
I am NOT tolerant, when it comes to a blowhard like O’rielly, hiding bedind the “fair and balanced” and “no spin zone” facades.
It IS true, however, that social skills are suffering.

This guy gives conservatives a bad name. Trading one fanaticism for another just leaves us with fanaticism, and fanaticism isn’t about finding solutions, its about who’s in control.
Maybe if the jihadists had video games they wouldn’t be shooting real people.
I’m a conservative, but frankly Bill O’Reilly is a man in need of a purported villan or he has no ability to create a show. If there’s not some person, some corporation, or something else out there that is making news due to some stance that he doesn’t like, then he has to blow something up way out of proportion to keep his viewers happy. Because if he was a straight news guy, or even just an opinion guy, he would be finished.
Plus, he’s going a little wacky lately with claims that he is getting attacked by various publications, people, etc. Honestly Bill, the American public’s attention span isn’t big enough to care about you or anyone else for that long.
All O’Reilly wants is another platform on which to stand while he promotes his books and makes more millions. Remember, he said on his show that he was going to “go after Oprah” because she never allowed him on her show. He kept publicly attacking her until she finally let him come on and promote his new book.
In short, he’s just trying to exploit what’s popular to make more money. He wants iPod fans to get in an uproar over this so he can get more publicity.
Let it die.
Let him die.
Ignoring him is the worst thing you can do to him.
Whether or not Bill truly likes or does not like iPods is not his point.
Time to put on some critical thinking skills here.
First: The iPod is becoming a metaphor for “shutting out the world.” It is being said all the more frequently: “…so people put on their iPod’s on and ignor the world around them.”
Second: For those of you who don’t get it, this does not mean literally, people who enjoy iPods are shutting out the world and ignoring world politics, US security conserns or anyting else, it simply makes for a good metaphor that one can picture, picture people choosing to be isolated.
Third: If you don’t understand metaphor’s, then at this point, quit reading, you’ll only hurt yourself.
Fourth: Some say that metaphor’s project a stereo-type, and that is correct, as it aids in illustrating the point. Some people find this horrible, while others find this effective at making a point – and again – Bill likes to make points, thus the metaphor works.
Fifth: Finally, Bill’s point. He is using the iPod, PSIII, etc… as an example, as metaphore for our consumer lust for material entertainment, and the culture’s overall bury our head in the sand mentality, when we need to spend more time on thinking about other more important things that acutally matter in the world – like Mac’s! Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Whether you agree the youth culture is ignorant and too engrossed into their own means of pleasure, that is Bill’s arguement.
My point? I’m not saying Bill is right or wrong with his assesement, I’m merely explaining why he used the well understood iPod to illustrate his point.
If you disagree with his assesement of the youth culture, have it out with Billy Boy as that is open for debate.
If you think this is about iPods – you are ignorant.
Come on people It’s fucking Bill OReilly!!! What did you expect???
Personally I feel safer when he or rush is on in the car….
Extra airbags are a good thing!!!!
To CrissyOne! I throughly enjoy your posts!!
BO a Fuck Tard??…….. Dead On!!
This guy sounds so severely dissociated that he’s gonna hurt himself if he isn’t careful!
One question: How does someone so retarded get on tv in the first place?
P.S. At least he didn’t accuse technology of poisoning his “precious bodily fluids,” though that’s what I expect to hear next when he starts talking about “the machines.” What a fruitcake!
dukemeister, I’m older than BS O’Riled-up and bought my 3G iPod the day they hit the local Mac Store. I designed/created my wife’s web site half a dozen years ago and am now doing a podcast as DLMeyer – the Voice of G.L.Horton’s Stage Page. You silly children associate any rejection of a newer technology as a sign of Old Age. Folks old enough to legally vote and drink have a few things to say about fadish children, too.
O’Riled-up is getting his just deserts from Keith Olberman and Countdown. They are eating away at his audience share.
DLMeyer – the Voice of G.L.Horton’s Stage Page
WATCH THIS HILARIOUS VINTAGE BILLO CLIP
He’s plugging Nintendo..
How the lame have fallen…
Now he’s freakin Paul Thurrot? Lame..
This is the same guy who yelled at a son who protested the war whose father died in the Twin Towers. He told the kid he was disrespecting his father. What the fuck did he know about the kids father? Jack shit. Bill O’Reilly is a disgusting human being.
Hey oreilly, why dont you SHUT THE FUCK UP! You are the biggest pussy i know.
Yup. Liberals are the nice people of the earth. They care for all, are peaceful, know what’s best, blah, blah, blah, blah. Mention a republican, conservative, or GW and all the evil hate comes out. Not one of you libs posted anything that made sense as to why O’Reilly’s comments were silly. No. All we get from you is hate. You guys are a bunch of phonies. I would never trust a liberal with my life.
On the other hand, compare the comments of some conservatives. A reasoned explanation in most cases.
Liberals…phhhtttt. The real scum of the earth.
who cares if libs are NICE.. what matters is they’re smart. Look what Bush has done over the last eight years. His staff do NOT understand economics, and have been lying about how they’re ‘helping’ the poorest Americans with their tax cuts.
Who do you think is going to pay for the doubling of the debt. That’s right. your kids. don’t you feel smart.
I know Billo went to a great school, but he does NOT understand economics, and for that, I think he’s a douche.
“did you ever talk to these computer geeks? I mean, can you carry on a conversation with them? …I really fear for the United States because, believe me, the jihadists? They’re not playing the video games. They’re killing real people over there.”
Geeks are lame. but who cares, they’ll never get any power.. what does this have to do with the iPod… nothing, it’s just symbolic of technology in general. So mr pro-Business is now a luddite?
Okayyyyyy….?
er… i mean two terms… not eight years…
hehe hehe… doh.
don’t own an iPod. I would never wear an iPod… If this is your primary focus in life – the machines… it’s going to have a staggeringly negative effect, all of this, for America… did you ever talk to these computer geeks? I mean, can you carry on a conversation with them? …I really fear for the United States because, believe me, the jihadists? They’re not playing the video games. They’re killing real people over there.
Having been in the “military” and overseas in that part of the world, I know how totally different life is “over there” than back in our comfy USA.
Trust me, 99% of all Americans really, really, REALLY have it good. To walkin a supermarket here and see such a abundance of FOOD just displayed and in easy reach is something most of the world doesn’t see.
By the way the “jihadists” are managing to kill a few dozen people here and there on average, but the US is quite cable of killing tens to hundreds of thousands, even millions of people in a rather short time.
It’s rather easy to program a young man to kill, but the effects when he returns to society is rather devestating. To his family, himself and his friends.
Imagine trying to live normally working some lame job after you came home from war killing shitloads of camel jockeys?
I can, it’s boring for a long time until you forget the past.
O’Reilly is an asshat.
‘Nuff said.
I listened to rock and roll, masterbated my ass off watching porn growing up and I turned out JUST FINE.
Bill it’s a f&^king music device! That’s it!
Bill O’Reilly has the dubious distinction of being crowned the National Whackjob of America. This guy is the dumbest, most screwed up motherfucker in all media. If Fox News didn’t exist he wouldn’t have a job in the US. Maybe in the 30s in Nazi Germany. O’Reilly probably has a swastika tattooed on his scrotum. Stupid, sonofabitch motherfucker doesn’t even know his ass from a hole in the ground.
The difference between Rush and O’Reilly? Rush is a conservative, O’reilly doesn’t even claim to be a Republican, calls himself “Independent”
Why does Fox keep him on? asshole or not, he creams the competition in ratings.
Do I like him? I agree with a lot what he says, but I couldn’t see shooting pool with him.
And when he is wrong? He goes off the deep end, likde when he believed oil companies were the reason for the price of crude.
Ahyone agree with him for jumping on Fox entertainment about the OJ book/show?
My friend met Bill O’Reilly once. She was in Washington when they met. She told him “I really enjoy your show, Mr. O’ Reilly,” and he just replied with a “So?” What a dick.
O’Reilly is a big phony.
Here’s some fun liberal reading.

gstank<shit
Liberals, smart? Pulease. That’s the biggest joke going. Look at their posts above. Chrissyone, always right, etc. Disgusting. You libs should be ashamed of yourselves.
I think there’s something of an iPod backlash going on. And what’s really odd is that it seems to be comimg from the Mac community. Some time ago the editor of a well known Mac magazine published an editorial with a similar attitude (only without the neocon sentiment).
Basicaly what it came down to was that the editor felt that anyone using an iPod in public was disassociating themselves from social interaction with their fellow man and that this disassociation was bad for iPod user and society. I’ve read similar op-ed pieces regarding cell phone use in public. IMHO, Bill Reilly is just saying something similar.
WTF!
I don’t even have an iPod (nor do I have any desire for one), but why does anyone think they have some right to accost a fellow human just because they’re out in public. Just because someone is walking/running/whatever down the street and outside the privacy of their home doesn’t mean they’re looking to engage in some social interact with their fellow man.
Are some people so socialisticly neurotic they just can’t handle the fact that other human beings are not paying attention to them?
Bill is totally right, just like O.J., pres. bush, and fox news.
lol

MW- sense (what bill needs)
Trust me, 99% of all Americans really, really, REALLY have it good. To walkin a supermarket here and see such a abundance of FOOD just displayed and in easy reach is something most of the world doesn’t see..
Oops… what about the prison-industrial complex? US prisons have become big business, housing 25% of all the people in the world behind bars, the largest prison population on the planet. Can these people visit a supermarket?
Even worse:
<h1>South Africa under apartheid (1993), Black males: 851 per 100,000</h1>
<h1>U.S. under George Bush (2004), Black males: 4,919 per 100,000</h1>
According to the US Census Bureau, in 2005, 7.67 Million Families lived below the poverty level [9.9%].
Eliminating American poverty tied to homeland security, says poverty expert.
“We currently have the highest rates of poverty in the industrialized world,” says Rank. “It’s no coincidence that we also have the highest rates of incarceration, poor health, unequal education and low paying jobs among the developed countries. This undermines and threatens us all.
It’s obvious our priorities lie elsewhere: US is Single Vote Against Rationality in the UN
On October 26, the United Nations voted on a resolution to lay the groundwork for a treaty that would curb exporting arms to conflict areas or areas known for human rights abuses. The resolution passed 139 to 1, with 24 abstentions. The lone opponent? The world’s largest arms exporter, the United States.
Bill O’Really is an angry man, but he doesn’t really understand what he’s angry about.

Bill O’Reilly is using you.
You are his audience.
His customers.
He’s selling you what you want to hear.
And you.
Are buying it.
Go team!
Go Bill!
Bill? What the hell has Bill ever done for anybody?
You’ll call people scum in his name.
You’ll hurl insults at them.
You’ll set them apart and far below fine, upstanding folk like yourselves.
The Lawful.
The Righteous.
Sorry.
From down here with the freaks…
It’s a pretty ugly paradise you believe in.

MW: ‘research’ (takes time. reaction takes none)
Some of these posters sound just like Bush!
“Freedom- haters”.
“Evil- Doers”.
“Suiciders”. (This one cracks up my 14 year old).
See? He’s 14.
And he knows a fucking idiot when he hears one.
ANY MORON DOES.
Always Wrong is true pure evil. An over the top bad actor. Don’t let this loser bother you people. He/She has to live with themself. Thank god you’re not that person. Creepy!
If I had to choose between O’Reilly and Oberman, I would choose South Park, even if it wasn’t on.
I concur Craigster. Chrissyone is not entertaining and disgusting too. What cretans.
Didn’t Olberman have sex with a black woman and then dump her and she’s threatening to plaster his emails all over the internet.

Nice hero loser.
Always Wrong would look up that loser Olberman. 2 idiots.
I think Bill might have been trying out some of Rush’s ‘stash’.
“Ditto”!!!
^_^
Bill O’Reilly while not always the most pleasant person is usually spot on. You libs are embarrassing to the human race.
Fox News rocks!
Sometimes it’s the messenger, not the message.
And sometimes it’s the batteries in the remote.
The libs will ruin the earth!
ChrissyOne,
You give females a very bad name.
TT-
Yeah, actually, I look for “The Honeymooners”!
Libs want to buy votes with empy promises. Replubicans try to create jobs, wealth, good feelings, etc. Libs = negative energy
Maybe they need it.
Always Wrong is true pure evil. An over the top bad actor. Don’t let this loser bother you people. He/She has to live with themself. Thank god you’re not that person. Creepy!
Creepy, very creepy. Scary, very scary. You are a Truly Disgusting Person.
Dispicable.
THIS IS HILARIOUS!
You people can’t be serious!
You aren’t too smart, are you?
HONDO- wow. THAT looks to me, to be very hard-hitting objective, undeniably reliable source material.
Whew.
I must admit, VERY COMPELLING.
MDN word- “evidence”!
HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Personally, I wish we had a true public servant back in the oval office.
CLINTON (Bill).
I don’t care who sucks his pecker.
Hell, I’ll do it.

MW: ‘mans’ (laughing *way* too hard to think of anything)
looks like Letterman might be worth watchin tonight.
I know, Easterners, you’ve already seen it.
“I don’t own an iPod. I would never wear an iPod. But I WILL bend over, grab my ankles, and spread ’em for your $$, you Premium Member podcast-playing iPod users!” – Bill O’Reilly
Poor old Bill O’Rly. Biting the hand that feeds you won’t take your falling ratings higher. Maybe he should, as he so often and eloquently puts it, just “SHUT UP”!!!
Bill O’Rly is a raving lunatic detached from reality, just like those “computer geeks”.
MW: ‘became’ as in ‘Bill O’Rly became a sad joke’.
MacMan,
Was this a stupid, hypocritical thing?
I’m not sure, but who in the fuck is hin?
The wonderful thing about America is that all can share their views, but the level of immaturity in these posts is truly outrageous. The passion is fantastic, the views – in most cases – not so much.
I highly doubt Bill believes in half the things he’s saying, and even if he does – who cares? He certainly isn’t influencing the younger generation or anyone I know.
Freedom allows people like Bill, Rush, Jon, Stephen and everyone else, as far as that goes, to have a dissenting or – sometimes – moronic opinion.
I don’t agree with his thoughts on iPod use, but I do think it was partly misconstrued, and I also don’t care realy what he thinks.
If nothing else it’s all great entertainment for all of us. Right?
You all have missed his point. Bill O wants geeks to kill more people. Real people.
I really fear for the United States because, believe me, the jihadists? They’re not playing the video games. They’re killing real people over there.
Jonohan has had the best post here by far.
“Maybe if the jihadists had video games they wouldn’t be shooting real people.”
Really. Dropship (literally, heli-drop) a bunch of wiis
Olberman isn’t well liked at work:
http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/335982p-286995c.html
Neither are you effwierd, always wrong, etc.
i find it fairly amusing how worked up some of ya’ll are getting about this…
Democrat liberals suck!
Farly,
Wow, you really let ’em have it there! LOL
Why do we suck so much? Because we want to let people do what they want to do, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else? Oh yeah, WE’RE the bad guys.

Talk about a complete lack of social skills, Mr. O’Reilly has no idea how to communicate with the generation he’s so bent on criticizing. I’m 32, while not being considered young anymore, I at least understand that the the ipod toting youth of today operate in social circles of a different kind. From computers to cell phones younger generations seek out their desired peer groups in much different ways. Remeber Bill, it was the non iPod wearing bastards like you who created jihadist and terrorists in the first place!
radioalarm-
Oh, no. I am having FUN!
(You’ll find that one of the halmarks of a neocon-nut-who-is-confused-and-thinks-they’re-“conservative” is thin-skein.
Another? Can’t admit when wrong.
Another you say? Not too articulate. (See Farly, above).
Ok. One more. Not too smart (See farly, above).
(This is not aimed at the trily intelligent and engaging conservative posters on this board, such as TowerTone, or maybe even Jerry T.- unless he has a “Michael Richards” problem).
Why are people trying to dig up bullshit about Olberman that is unrelated to what he says on the show?
Because: you have nothing else to stand on, and, the truth hurts.
…I have to wipe my ass with his opinion, as always. He’s just a hot, steamin’ turd folks, isn’t he?
I seriously thought Keith Olbermann died years ago. I mean, he hasn’t been on SportsCenter in what seems like forever. He’s lucky if he pulls 1/100th of the audience these days that he did back on ESPN. His 15 minutes were definitely up once he left there.
effwerd, that was hilarious!
JBR, try not to be a dimwit. Don’t you read my brilliant posts?
“… let’s examine the advent of Keith Olberman’s rise in the ratings, as people tune in…
http://www.oreilly-sucks.com/politics/cablenewsratings.htm
See folks?
Babys.
don’t even make real arguments.
Or have the guts to post consistently in their own name.
So, “toilet paper”?
Does Olberman have good ratings? Or no?
Uuhmm
looks like he’s got a little over a third of Billy’s.
Thank you, TT.
At least you speak truthfully, and MODT IMPORTANTLY, HAVE THE GUTS TO POST UNDER YOUR OWN NAME.
(I will admit, however, that Olberman often reeks of sanctimoniousness).
I thought it was hash…
Nah, he’s to self-absorbed to be high.
Although, it might help….
I would guess that Jon Stewart kicks both of their asses in ratings…
Liberalism is a disgusting disease.
