Bill O’Reilly Vs. Geraldo Rivera

Fox commentators Bill O’Reilly and Geraldo Rivera got a loud and vicious verbal confrontation over drunk driving and immigration issues. On April 5th The Factor’s Bill O’Reilly and Geraldo Rivera engaged in a heated bout of verbal warfare, debating a fatal drunken driving incident involving an illegal immigrant. The argument focused on issues surrounding 22-year-old Alfredo Ramos, an illegal Mexican immigrant with three previous alcohol-related convictions, who is responsible for the deaths of two teenagers killed in Virginia Beach in an automobile crash resulting from Ramos’ drunk driving.

Video Of Keith Olbermann Destroying Bill O’Reilly

Bill O’Reilly screws a lot of stuff up. Here’s Part One of the best of the worst from the Factor.
  
 
 

Bill O’Reilly not once, but twice screws up the facts of what happened to American Soldiers at Malmedy during WWII.  He later went on to correct himself by … denying that’s what he said. 

Tucker Carlson and Keith Olbermann slam the sick bastard O’Reilly over comments essentially blaming Jennifer Moore for her own rape and murder.

Olbermann discusses the mislabelling of Mark Foley as a Democrat during the O’Reilly Factor

Bill O’Reilly Quotes

 ”I just wish Katrina had only hit the United Nations building, nothing else, just had flooded them out, and I wouldn’t have rescued them.” –on his radio show, Sept. 14, 2005

“If I’m the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, ‘Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you’re not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead. And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we’re not going to do anything about it. We’re going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.’” –after San Francisco voted to ban military recruiters from city schools, Nov. 8, 2005

“If the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it’s clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush Administration again, all right?” -on finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, March 18, 2003

4 More Years

It’s been recently reported that Keith Olbermann has signed on for 4 more years with MSNBC.  Although some may say, accurately, that he has a strange obsession with Bill O’Reilly, his comments on O’Reilly tends to me on the mark more often than not.  Here’s Olbermann’s comments on the Shawn Hornbeck controversy.
