Bill O'Reilly: "Danny Glover called Bush a racist. That's slander."

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

There are two rules for guests here on "The Factor." No slander and no personal accusations without facts to back them up. If the guest violates those rules, they are scolded by me and will not be invited back. And only a few have violated the rules.

Now let me give you some examples of slander. Actor Danny Glover (search) called President Bush a racist. That's slander. How about irresponsible allegations? Well, here's a letter from Carol I got today. She lives in Cleveland. "O'Reilly, Phil Donahue cleaned your clock. He speaks the truth. There are many of us who, like Jeremy Glick, believe that George W. Bush orchestrated9/11." Well, that's the kind of dopey stuff we try to keep off "The Factor." Sometimes we fail.

Subsequently, Mr. Donahue has appeared here a couple times. And although he's inclined to filibuster, I thought the segment's worthwhile to show the far left's point of view. Now I've advised Mr. Donahue on a number of occasions not to use personal attacks. Yesterday, he ignored that advice and you'll see the results shortly.

In the world of the far left, it is now acceptable to accuse a president and vice president and sending young Americans to Iraq to be killed and maimed, so their friends at Halliburton can make money. And anyone who supports the Iraq strategy is also guilty of sending kids to die and is a coward to boot.

1. Billy O'Lielly is a pus filled pimple on the butt of humanity.

[Waya]

4. Oh wahhhhhh.....

..give Billy a tissue....

[LibDemAlways]

2. O'Reilly ought to stuff his loofah

in his big mouth and shut the hell up. Why anyone would waste a second listening to any made up shit the blowhard has to spew is beyond me.

[The Backlash Cometh]

3. No. that's called having a different perspective.

[win_in_06]

5. I'm impressed and surprised that Donahue was able to get those words out

of his mouth without being cut of/censored.

[aion]

6. When you try like that, how can you not fail?

There are many of us who, like Jeremy Glick, believe that George W. Bush orchestrated9/11." Well, that's the kind of dopey stuff we try to keep off "The Factor." Sometimes we fail.

With attempts such as that, failure is a certainty.

[SammyBlue]

7. Okay, my response to this bullshit

There are two rules for guests here on "The Factor." No slander and no personal accusations without facts to back them up. If the guest violates those rules, they are scolded by me and will not be invited back. And only a few have violated the rules.

Oh, you self-righteous prick. You personally attacked Jeremy Glick, told Al Franken to "shut up" and threatened Phil Donahue with violence. You also have told your viewers that being against the war and working for peace is un-American. You violate your own rules, asshat. . .you need to shut up!

Now let me give you some examples of slander. Actor Danny Glover (search) called President Bush a racist. That's slander. How about irresponsible allegations? Well, here's a letter from Carol I got today. She lives in Cleveland. "O'Reilly, Phil Donahue cleaned your clock. He speaks the truth. There are many of us who, like Jeremy Glick, believe that George W. Bush orchestrated9/11." Well, that's the kind of dopey stuff we try to keep off "The Factor." Sometimes we fail.

Waaah! Did Danny say something about the man who's ass your tongue is up? Waah! Danny needs to shut up, shut up, just shut up, right? He doesn't have the right to an opinion. Especially one a "fair-and balanced no spin" asshat like you don't like? Again "shut up, shut up, just shut up!"

Subsequently, Mr. Donahue has appeared here a couple times. And although he's inclined to filibuster, I thought the segment's worthwhile to show the far left's point of view. Now I've advised Mr. Donahue on a number of occasions not to use personal attacks. Yesterday, he ignored that advice and you'll see the results shortly.

What are you going to do, Billy? Send Phil to his room without supper? Ten minutes in timeout? Refuse to allow him on your show again? Damn, I'm sure Phil will complain about that, as he laughs at how much of a hypocrite and dickhole you are!

In the world of the far left, it is now acceptable to accuse a president and vice president and sending young Americans to Iraq to be killed and maimed, so their friends at Halliburton can make money. And anyone who supports the Iraq strategy is also guilty of sending kids to die and is a coward to boot.

And in the world of the far right (which you are a part of), it is now acceptable to accuse an American and groups of Americans of being soldier hating, America hating, unpatriotic and "French" for being against a war that has been proven time and time again to be based on lies and war profiteering. I'm glad your nephew is going to Iraq (G-dspeed to him) but are your kids going to Iraq? About about Tony Snow's, or Brit Hume's or Neil Cavauto's (if they have any), or George Bush's? No, because poor and middle class lives are cheap. If you support the war so much, send your kids. Put your money where your mouth is and enlist your kids in the war effort your support. If you don't, you ARE A COWARD, and so are you kids if they don't sign up to die while supporting the war! Again, "shut up, shut up, just shut up!"

Sweet Jesus, I hate Billy-boy O'Reilly.

[Steely_Dan]

26. Asshat

I love that term...Almost as funny as "bunny pants."

[Catfight]

8. Billy...LOL....Billy is a pointing idiot with a billboard mouth for Bush's

mistakes.

[hippywife]

9. ROFL!!

"There are two rules for guests here on "The Factor." No slander and no personal accusations without facts to back them up."


This is just too funny considering the source! :rofl:

[aion]

11. Come on now -- That Billy Goat is just trying to be funny

And with his ratings such as they are, it might not be such a bad idea for him to get in a little cross-training at company expense.

Remember -- SOMECOMPANY went to court and WON regarding the need for news to be honest. It defended with the fact that their parent is in the entertainment industry. And that's as much as any thinking person needs to know.

[bobbieinok]

32. you mean when FAUX news won verdict that 'news' doesn't have to be

accurate???????

there ought to be a way to post a key sentence from this across every TV in restaurants, gyms, doctor's/dentist's offices, etc, playing FAUX

[WearyOne]

10. seeing a bully like O'Reilly done over by Donohue was heaven

[aion]

12. Donohue didn't pull any punches

As willing as FOX is to cut microphones, I can only imagine how much editing they do. Did we see the whole interview, or only what they wanted us to see? I hope Donohue has an agreement with them such that they can't edit him to pieces.

[newswolf56]

13. Did Glover really say this? (I hope he did, because its true:

what happened in New Orleans proves Bush a racist beyond any doubt.) Anybody have any link to Glover's remarks?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

14. Here's the recent Glover quote I'm familiar with:

I posted it on DU right after he said it. I know of no other quote in which he specifically calls Bush a racist.

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Robin-Williams-and-Bill-Cosby-Slams-George-Bush-8956.shtml

Film director and actor Glover said, "When the hurricane struck, it did not turn the region into a Third World country - it revealed one," while American calypso musician Belafonte added, "Katrina was not unforeseeable. It was the result of a political structure that abdicates its responsibility”.

[hippywife]

17. Danny speaks true! n/t

[newswolf56]

25. Thanks -- sorry I'm so late getting back. I was hoping...

(from the magnitude of O'Roarley's tantrum) that Glover had really let fly and called Bush a "racist pig" or something like that.

But knowing how O'Roarley lies, I should have figured it was...well, as the Bard said: "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

In short, just like so many other Republican claims and accusations.

But thanks again!

[kanrok]

Hey Falafel Boy...it's only slander if it's un-true

n/t

[sonicx]

15. This is coming from a guy who said...

that child molestation was legal in Europe.

[Vickers]

16. Hey, Dildo, I think George is a racist, too!

AND SO ARE YOU!

Fuck you and your two bit, piece of shit, non-Peabody, non-Emmy, non-ANY FUCKING THING hillbilly show! :rofl:

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

30. Funny thing is...

Your post isn't slanderous. The truth is an affirmative defense. Now here's slander with regard to O'Reilly:

"Bill O'Reilly is a serious and uncompromising journalist. He places the highest professional values upon scrupulously maintaining his independence and..."

Oh, fuck it. I can't write that crap anymore even as a joke.

[gratuitous]

18. Notice how O'Reilly doesn't, you know, QUOTE Glover?

He simply says that Glover called Bush a racist. Now, if Glover stated it straight out that Bush is a racist, why wouldn't O'Reilly run a clip of that? Instead, O'Reilly just says that Glover called Bush racist. Interesting spin there, Falafel Boy. Some people would call you dishonest.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

19. "Those Who Trespass"...a romance novel by Bill O'Reilly.

I kid you not. The same Bill O'Lielly we all know and love. Hot and dirty and very very very bad writing.

For anyone who is not yet familiar, he has the same shower scene in his book that cost him a fortune in legal fees in real life.

Seriously. Look it up! :)

[ismnotwasm]

20. Eewwwww

I read the smoking gun stuff on that and was quite ill. If he writes like he does sexual harressment---there goes my cast iron stomach. The man is nasty, nasty, nasty.

[mcctatas]

21. Bill O'Reilly is a fine example of journalistic integrity....

now THAT's slander, casting aspersions on journalists everywhere!:puke:

[The Gunslinger]

22. Wait a minute

"In the world of the far left, it is now acceptable to accuse a president and vice president and sending young Americans to Iraq to be killed and maimed, so their friends at Halliburton can make money. And anyone who supports the Iraq strategy is also guilty of sending kids to die and is a coward to boot."


If the boot fits.....................

[NRaleighLiberal]

23. O'Leilly should be rendered completely insignificant - we shouldn't

refer to him, Dems should NOT go on his show....none of us should watch. He should be left to just pleasure himself with his inane comments. Same with Oxyrush, Insanity, etc. Any millesecond spent on them, even one neuron of effort, is wasted!

[Joe Chi Minh]

29. Phil's hair seems almost

snow white, yet he comes across as anything but a "grey" monochrome character. He radiates warmth and integrity. How different these "grey", wooden neocon myrmidons, ranting unintelligibly in a miasma of bad faith.

[Skittles]

24. let me guess: it would NOT be slander were it a DEMOCRATIC prez

what a whore Bill is

[sakabatou]

27. Lying sack of shit

Bill should be booted of his own show. And he is calling truth "dopey". THAT'S SLANDER!

[Joe Chi Minh]

28. O'Reilly's immediate response

to Phil's aghast, incredulous explanation that her son is dead, when asked by his nibs what was the biggest punch in the face a mother can have(!), was "Oh. OK, then...". I believe that is verbatim, though the audio file seems to have been edited. Perhaps, O'Reilly should be called, O'Kaythen.

[mrdmk]

31. Hey O'Reilly, when Mr. Bush Jr. was at BOB JONES UNIVERSITY

He spoke about interracial dating. He is his answer:

<snip>
I did denounce it. I de- I denounced it. I denounced interracial dating. I denounced anti-Catholic bigacy... bigotry.
<end of snip>

Do I think that Mr. Bush Jr. is a racist, yes, I have no doubt!

[TankLV]

33. Bush* is an AWOL, DESERTER, LIAR, TRAITOR & WAR CRIMINAL.

Those are the FACTS, not slander.

Get used to it.

[Polethebear]

34. O' Reily is either an idiot...

or trying to milk ratings out of this. Or both..... I DON'T recall Danny saying that...but I'm not sure.

[LittleClarkie]

35. Apparently only Billy boy is allowed to slander folks

ACLU anyone?
