O'Lielly: Parade magazine says he didn't lie after all
Says they have seen, or have in their possession, the deed to his childhood home (all this in response to a question submitted re: the feud with Franken) and it says, according to Billy, that the house was indeed in Levittown. He says they addressed another contentious point from Al's book, but it I cannot recall what that was. As usual, he condescendingly refers to Al as "Stuart Smalley", and wonders if Franken and all the other news organizations who accused him of lying about these things will apologize posthaste. He's such an idiotic piece of excrement. He just cannot let it go. The guy who answers the questions about famous people, the ones in the front of Parade magazine each Sunday, has always struck me as having a rather right-wing bent. I may be wrong but I remember being taken aback at some of his answers to certain questions in the past. He sounded very judgmental.

2. Parade?
That's about as credible as the Polk-winning(not Peabody) Inside Edition...Bill's former employer.

3. oh yeah the parade guy is a real journalist
the guy who makes his living answering drivel such as "I just can't get any sleep these days because I'm always wondering, just how many cats does Kirstie Alley own?"

I'm sure Mr Personality Parade has shamed Al Franken into hiding

9. All of the "Walter Scott's Personality Parade" questions...
are bought and paid for by PR flacks. It's no accident that EVERY subject just happens to have a project "coming out later this month" Wow! What a coincidence!

5. Oh please..
According to Franken O'Rielly's MOTHER said they lived in Westchester. When Franken confronted him about this O'Rilley's answer was "well it was the Westchester section of Levittown. Now 2 years later he comes up with this?

7. According to Bill
His mother has the deed to her house saying Levittown.

Seems like a trivial matter anyway, doesn't matter if Bill grew up poor or not since he's a greedy racist bastard now.

10. But, you guys know...
We all know that if Franken is proven wrong, he WILL appologize. And when he does so, he will mean it. He is a decent guy. That is the most striking difference between him and O'asshole-ly. Franken, honest and decent. O'mothergrabber-ly, liar and jerk.

11. I just saw this
Edited on Thu Jun-24-04 10:03 PM by Scairp
From Mediamatters.org;


O'Reilly to his female co-host: "You're here because you're eye candy ... for me"


Bill O'Reilly referred to his Radio Factor co-host, Lis Wiehl -- an author, law professor, and FOX News Channel legal analyst -- as "eye candy ... for me" on the June 21 radio program, telling Wiehl that she is on the show "because you're good-looking, so I got somebody to look over" while he's on the air.

So, not only it he a liar, but he's a creep too. Lil' Lis needs to file a sexual harrassment complaint, but she probably won't. Dumb girl.

12. I actually listened to that show
on Monday while driving up through the bible-belt of Florida back to school. It seemed to be in a joking manner, nothing too serious. I don't think she even cares anyways. Oddly, he seems much worse on his TELEVISION show as compared to the RADIO show I listened to that day. Weird. I would think that he would play to is hardcore RWers on the radio. Go figure.
