Bill O'Reilly Calls Himself 'T-Warrior'

[CatWoman]

what's the "T" for? Turd?

Unapologetic 'T-Warrior' Says He's Outnumbered

O'Reilly comes from a blue-collar background and lives with his wife and two young children in an upscale community.

Standing at 6 feet, 4 inches, he can resemble a formidable culture warrior at times.

He even calls himself, "T-Warrior," short for "traditional warrior."

When "20/20" pointed out that he had one of the loudest voices in the media, O'Reilly said he and his fellow traditionalists were outnumbered and had been since the days of Walter Cronkite.

Walters asked O'Reilly about his thoughts on the possibility of New York junior Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton running for president in 2008.



"My problem with Senator Clinton is, that she doesn't answer questions," he said.



O'Reilly says he's asked her key questions like, "What would you do in Iraq? What would you do with al Qaeda?"



Currently, he said, she does not give a clear answer for those questions.



"If you don't answer the questions, I am against you," he said.

I suppose Bush's non answers, spin and mispronounced words ring clear as a bell to him

1. T is for torture? n/t

2. When has he ever interviewed Hillary?

Granted, I don't watch his show, but you'd think an O'Reilly interview of Hillary would have garnered some attention. I have never seen him or any of his ilk even attempt to talk to her (I'd love to see Ann Coulter debate Hillary) but maybe this happened and I missed it?

3. He is really f..king crazy....

:crazy: And he has a pair of big ones to compare himself to Walter Cronkite. What a bison's ass he is.

4. "T" obviously stands for Turd. n/t

5. Hey, falafel boy

Shut your nazi piehole. You have no credibility, you're a fucking liar, you are wrong about 100 percent of the time (which is quite a trick) and you're a loudmouth bully and sexual psychopath. Fuck you.

10. CUT HIS MIKE! n/t

6. he does not come from a "blue-collar" background

He grew up middle to upper middle class in a nice suburban neighborhood on Long Island. Franken debunked this a while back.

16. Michael Kinsley was the original debunker

He wrote a column and also appeared on O'R's program. O'Really never backed down, despite the proof of his middle-class background.

Yet O'Reilly, like many other people, clings to the fantasy that he is a stiff among the swells. He plays this chord repeatedly in the book, a potpourri of anecdotes and opinions about life in general and his in particular. He had a very strange experience as a graduate student at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government (which let the likes of Bill O'Reilly through its ivy-covered gates, he is careful to note, "in an effort to bring all sorts of people together"). Other Kennedy School students, he says, insisted on being called by three names, none of which could be "Vinny, Stevie, or Serge." Their "clothing was understated but top quality … and their rooms hinted of exotic vacations and sprawling family property. Winter Skiing in Grindelwald? No problem." They tried to be nice, but Bill was nevertheless humiliated, in a Thai restaurant, to be "the only one who didn't know how to order my meal in Thai."

…"I'm working-class Irish American Bill O'Reilly … pretty far down the social totem pole," he says. Growing up in the 1960s, he watched his father "exhausting himself commuting from Levittown" to work as an accountant for an oil company. Dad "never made more than $35,000"—which would be $100,000 or more in today's money.

7. Outnumbered?! He's on crack!

His wife forgives him for all those lame attempts at phone sex? For the payoff he had to dole out to avoid charges of sexual harrassment?

Where are the screechy, preachy, harpy-like Republican women who should be scolding her for staying with falafel-boy, the way they did to Hillary for staying with Bill?

What about Bush & Condi?

The fact that these stories aren't all over the media proves there are far more traditional right-wing-bootlickin-toadie pundits in the media than not.

8. Am I right in that this guy is on work-release from a mental institution?

They must keep him under close observation at night, right?

[InternalDialogue]

9. His problem with Hillary is that she won't answer questions?

Puhleeeze! I'm sure if she forthrightly answered him he'd be all about Hillary.

Passive-aggressive bastard won't just be honest about it.

As for the nickname... :popcorn:

[opihimoimoi]

12. Oraly likes to play the Interragator Card, asks questions not to learn

share but to denigrate...I am glad Hillary knows better than to engage in Q/A with a Dufus like Oraly.

[MrCoffee]

11. that's odd. i call him numbnuts.

[Keepontruking]

13. Billy-Bob-Boy

[TygrBright]

14. oh, goodie! More grist for Keith Olberman's mill...

15. T Bone!

17. Hey T-Bone! nt

[AllegroRondo]

18. Truthiness

he doesnt have any actual truth, but he has plenty of faux truth.

[Initech]

19. O'Reilly calling himself a warrior would imply that...

he's waging a war that no one else seems to be fighting. He must be having a tough time getting enlistees.
