The hypocracy never stops.

It is just me, or has O'Reilly overtaken Ann Coulter as the blowhard of the right? Because even Coulter's articles seem to have cooled down a little recently.

"Jadakiss, who is just a pitiful pawn being run by the huge Vivendi (search) Corporation, a French company that's distributing some of the most vile entertainment "Talking Points" has ever seen."

I think "Talking Points" hasn't payed much attention to some of Fox-empires productions.

The laws need to be changed. Somebody defames a public figure, that somebody in the corporation behind the smear should be held liable.

Should this apply to private people or groups of people too since O'Reilly has personally make statements as "Judge Hamilton and the ACLU are part of the anti-Christian cabal in America" and "The secularists deplore [judgement of right and wrong]. They want an open society, where anything goes" (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,124012,00.html)

So, who does Fox News have as an commentary who balances out O'Reilly?

Does the above statement constitute defamation? I don't think so but assuming it does, is it true (The truth is always a defense for defamation)? I don't know anything about the guy so I don't know.

"The secularists deplore [judgement of right and wrong]. They want an open society, where anything goes"

Once again, no defamation that I can see, but, also again, assuming it was such I'm not sure who could sue as nobody in particular is being defamed.
 
The only real issues I have with O'reilly are where he seeks to impose his Judaeo-Christian values on everyone and everything, and seems to resent Christianity not being the state religion.

That said, he's well within his rights to organize a boycott of whatever products he does not agree with; that's how Capitalism works.
 
Its laughable how Bill bashes Mike Moore. They are the same if you ask me. Mike makes slanted movies, Bill has a slanted news show.

I have to agree, even if I personally prefer O'reilly's smarmy style over burger boy's 'yokel with a camera' approach.
 
Whats is the deal with your avatar/clip anyway.


I fidn Bill entertaining. I love to hate him. I even called in his radio show a couple of times.
 
It's Buzz Aldrin, punching a moon landing denier in the face after having been called a fraud and a liar.
 
Somehow I doubt Buzz Aldrin is a "The Moon Landings Were Real" activist with any cause to 'help' other than enjoying the satisfaction of punching a douche in the face for trying to bag on possibly the greatest achievement in his life.

I think, IIRC, they guy had a bible and wanted Aldrin to swear on it, hehe.

One small punch for man, one giant punch for a nut.

Plus he's getting pretty old. When I'm his age I plan on going around punching young whippersnappers who piss me off.
I think it's one of the perks of being an old geezer.

The punchees' name is Bart Stibel and he goes around claiming that we never went to the moon and trying to get the Astronauts to swear on a Bible that they went. To get them to do that he often employs "questionable tactics" to get in to see them.

For Buzz, IIRC, he invited him as a local TV guy to interview him about Buzz's book, and then "ambushed" him with the accusation that he never went to the moon. Buzz ended the interview and left, but Big-mouth Bart followed him out and called him, again IIRC, a liar and hypocrit. That's when Buzz hauled off and socked him.

I saw Mr. Stibels 'film' about his interviews with the astronauts (the astronauts came off way better) in Nashville and the biggest cheer for the 70-ood members of the audience was that punch--and they were not cheering for Mr. B.S., either.

More can probably be learned over at the Bad Astronomy or Clavius sites if your interested in following up.

See the second clip here:

Watch how angry O'Reilly gets even though the kid hasn't said much - O'Reilly doesn't let him!
I mean, he has some fairly reasonable points to make, if he were allowed to explain himself.

That and pinchin' pretty girls on the butt. I'm not quite old enough to get away with that yet.
 
As much as a blowhard Baba O'Reilly is, he is still entertaining for the dreck he spews. He uses the typical right-wing tactic of denouncing exactly what he himself engages in. There must be a word for that; ah yes there is: hypocrisy.

His talking column (linked above) seems to be hinting at a strategy to possibly change the first amendment. Heck, the Repubs are in the process (thankfully stopped) of trying to add some anti-gay marriage amendment restrictions.

I'm sorry to keep bumping this, but it's just too easy!!!

How about this. O'Reilly slandering NYT!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,125958,00.html

That's nine mentions of conservatives being for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Now if you read the articles, it's obvious what "The Times" is doing. Anyone who opposes gay marriage is labeled a conservative
Click to expand...

My response:
No. It means people who are for a Constitutional Amendment on the matter, are most likely Conservatives. If the NYT article even talked about gay marriage itself, O'Reilly certainly did not mention it. And that "majority of Democrats in America oppose gay marriage" doesn't mean jack when it comes to Constitutional Amendments.
 
More slander by O'Reilly.

Foreign press is anti-American all the way down the line

And while I'm proud to have American blood in me, how can foreign press possibly take this kind of line seriously:
even though we have freed, here in America in the last 20 years, almost a billion people.

I don't consider sitting back and watching as Communism imploded as 'freeing people'.

Why shouldn't I just give credit to my other, Finnish, side for it?

You left our O'Gasbag's icing on this particular cake:
And the French have freed no one.

None of the examples you quote constitute slander.

I don't watch the guy. I don't mind him but I don't find him interesting. Still, fair is fair and if you are going to 'accuse' him of slander, you ought, at least on this board, have a decent case. You haven't presented one yet.

edit: added "n't" to have.
