I love that there is the possibility that I too could one day aspire to professional asshole

War on christmas is, like, sooo 2005, dude.

"All I did was describe you as a fascist. I haven't called you any names."

That's golden.
 
2006-12-13 10:16:06 AM
Would Bill O'Reilly please just turn red and explode already? Seriously, the fact that this buttsmear still has an audience is mind-boggling. He's a bigger liar than Rush Limbaugh.
 
2006-12-13 10:16:45 AM
I hope there's a video of this somewhere out in the intertubes. No time to search for it myself, though.
 
2006-12-13 10:17:02 AM
I think it's time that world leaders made the effort to ensure there are newsworthy events happening every day this time of year. That way Bill won't have to resort to such mindnumbingly pointless filler every year.

Another option would be to force him to take holidays for the months of November and December.. But will calling them holidays piss him off?

Are you guys kidding? Bill O'Reilly is phelps!

I've applied with Fox News to be a reporter for the "War On Christmas". I'm asking to be embedded with the forces at the local Wal-Mart.

all i did was describe you as a falafal obsessed retard. i didnt call you any names.

(ever noticed that nobody ever defends the falafal king on fark? that is because his average viewer is 103 years old, and that demographic is slightly intimidated by the tubes.)
 
2006-12-13 10:24:15 AM
Even if you lean toward his "politics" why the fark would anyone watch him? He's just plain angry. Short-fused and small-minded. I fail to see how it's even entertaining. And the lies are so bad that each one is like a slap in the face.

NASCAR and professional wrestling presents a similar enigma, but they're all the rage in mouth-breather America.

flavor of the month: ever noticed that nobody ever defends the falafal king on fark?

There's the occassional "why don't you attack his arguments?" defense. But with Captain Falafel, where do you begin? It's not worth it. He's on his own little planet.

Those are easy to explain.

NASCAR: Booze and crashes
Wrestling: Booze and violence

I wonder if booze would help make O'Reilly more entertaining...

Don't bother searching for the video ... they both ended up looking like a couple of tools, IMO.

NASCAR is all about turning left, turning left, turning left, turning though. You'd think after watching so many left turns that Billy-O's head would asplode.

I'm not calling Bill O'Reilly a lying douchebag, I'm merely describing him as one.

I don't know you and your profile is light... but this sounds like an O'Reilly supporter doing the best they can to counter argue the sentiments here. If in fact you are and this is the best someone can do to support that asstard... says a lot about the how much supportable there is about him.

/If you are not, then ignore the previous sentiment.

Well, if I took you down there then I'd want to take a shower with you right away, that would be the first thing I'd do... yeah, we'd check into the room, and we would order up some room service and uh and you'd definitely get two wines into you as quickly as I could get into you I would get 'em into you... maybe intravenously, get those glasses of wine into you...

You would basically be in the shower and then I would come in and I'd join you and you would have your back to me and I would take that little loofa thing and kinda soap up your back... rub it all over you, get you to relax, hot water... and um... you know, you'd feel the tension drain out of you and uh you still would be with your back to me then I would kinda put my arm -- it's one of those mitts, those loofa mitts you know, so I got my hands in it... and I would put it around front, kinda rub your tummy a little bit with it, and then with my other hand I would start to massage your boobs, get your nipples really hard... 'cuz I like that and you have really spectacular boobs...

So anyway I'd be rubbing your big boobs and getting your nipples really hard, kinda kissing your neck from behind... and then I would take the other hand with the falafel thing and I'd put it on your pussy but you'd have to do it really light, just kind of a tease business....

Best proof of doublethink is simply the name of Bill O'RLY's show. Yes, the No-Spin Zone. That's clearly what your show is about.

This is Farkworthy how?

Technically calling someone a fascist is not name calling.

That's like calling someone a Democrat or Republican and then sayong you called em a name.

Is Newshounds so desperate they needed to make an ass of themselves by posting this crap?
 
2006-12-13 11:30:57 AM
I didn't say you were a moron, Bill. I said you were moronic.

i believe that 'fascist' might have more negative connotation than 'Democrat.' now, I agree with you that there isn't much difference between a 'Republican' and a fascist so that might not be an insult to a guy like your or Bill.

you fascists.

Look, communist, some people think it's funny. That you and your commie self don't find the doublethink amusing is your own fault.

Par for the course for falafel boy.

Remember the Jeremy Glick interview? Jeremy patiently answered Bill's question but still was assertive in his own beliefs. O Rly got red-faced, cut his mike and had security throw him out of the building. When his show resumed, he started ranting about how out of control Jeremy was.

Diogenes

Even if you lean toward his "politics" why the fark would anyone watch him?


Train wreck entertainment value.

Explain.

Do you really need an explination?

I guess I could give an example instead.

Lets say you are driving and you cut someone off. The person you cut off calls you an arsehole, that's being called a name.

Now if that person you cut off called you a bad driver, that would not be calling you a name.

The same kind of stuff was posted yesterday from NRO and the same people praising this were bashing those posts, it's just the double-standard that annoys me.

Wow, Bill O'Reilly is an ignorant asshole? I didn't know that. Thank Jebus that there are links on Fark to illustrate that. Up until now, I just assumed he was "Fair and Balanced".

So what you're saying is that if I call you an idiot, it won't be an insult because it is technically true.

"Fascist" You Keep Using That Word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition:

Fascism: Totalitarian philosophy of government that glorifies the state and nation and assigns to the state control over every aspect of national life.


American Heritage® Dictionary:
Fascism: A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism


Wikipedia:
Fascism:
Fascism is a radical political ideology that combines elements of corporatism, authoritarianism, nationalism, militarism, anti-liberalism and anti-communism.

Hey I was just describing you as an idiot, i.e. someone of low intelligence, I wasn't calling you any names.

Like it or not, there are some words in our language are are pejorative. Bill O'Reilly's use of fascist outside the arena of describing his guest's political leanings clearly makes using fascist a pejorative rather than a description of his political philosophy.

I can see that explanation, FlashLV, which will likely make your head explode since I agree with you on that explanation.

But what BOR did was a name-call out.

If you think O'Reilly is even close to being as fair or balanced as CNN is, you either don't watch CNN, don't watch O'Reilly, don't watch either, or don't know what fair or balanced mean.

But since you don't know my IQ it was name calling in your example. Now if I was like Nickyhopkins then it would be describing.

Like it or not, there are some words in our language are are pejorative. Bill O'Reilly's use of fascist outside the arena of describing his guest's political leanings clearly makes using fascist a pejorative rather than a description of his political philosophy

Well, I never hear Fascist missused on Fark almost daily when people describe people they don't agree with, never!!!!

Nope, I used to watch Bill, but now just CNN or the the major network news. Bill makes me embarassed and Hannity with his religious talk made me stop watching.

I see CNN doing what FOX does but the opposite end.

Amazing!

FlashLVUsing an example is not an explanation. This is what you said:
Technically calling someone a fascist is not name calling.
fascist, used in this context bestows a title upon that someone to describe him.

So, in essence what you are saying is: technically, calling someone a name is not name calling.

How does that discount the fact that Bill used "fascist" in the pejorative sense?
Same old side-stepping, answer-dodgin song and dance with you.
