Let’s Talk About Bill O’reilly And Insults

... Jr., Tribune Content Agency 3:30 p.m. ET April 2, 2017. Bill O’Reilly. 1 CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENTEMAILMORE. Dear Bill O’Reilly. Let’s talk insults. Me, I like a good put-down as much as the next pundit. Judiciously employed, it can be an effective rhetorical tool, the equivalent of a slam dunk over the defense. You don’t just score, but you also demoralize and embarrass the other team. Similarly, to drop an insult into a political debate tells us you regard the opponent as so utterly hapless she doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously. It tells us you consider her arguments so stupid they aren’t even worth refuting. You, of course, are a past master of this. Has there ever been an episode of your Fox “News” program where you did not call someone a “pinhead,” or a “far-left loon”. Last week, you attacked Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA). In an appearance on Fox’s morning show, you responded as follows to a clip of her criticizing supporters of Donald Trump: “I didn’t hear a word she said. I was looking at the James Brown wig.”. Waters, a fierce woman I call “Mad Max,” certainly doesn’t need me to defend her — or her coiffure. But I ...

Leave Congresswoman Maxine Waters' Hair Out Of This

... — there are 12 total — because of what her hair looks like. Since O'Reilly was so distracted, here's the message that Waters was delivering. African Americans “fight against this president, and we point out how dangerous he is for this society and for this country. We’re fighting for the democracy. "We’re saying to those who say they’re patriotic but they’ve turned a blind eye to the destruction that he’s about to cause this country, ‘You’re not nearly as patriotic as we are.'”. Waters has served in the House of Representatives for more than 25 years, originally elected to represent California's 29 th Congressional District in 1991. That same year, O'Reilly was hosting "Inside Edition.". Things devolved on "Fox & Friends" after O'Reilly's statement, with co-host Brian Kilmeade quickly agreeing with O'Reilly, saying, "It's the same one" and referencing the fact that Brown is dead. Co-host Ainsley Earhardt tried to improve the situation with (arguably a misguided) understanding of feminism, stating, "You can't go after a woman's looks. I think she's very ...

Bill O’reilly Gets Schooled Twice On His Own Tv Show By A Security Expert

(Credit: AP Photo/Richard Drew, File). Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, a Fox News security analyst, could not have disagreed more with the host of “The O’Reilly Factor” on the issue of Trump campaign surveillance, calling the story “BS” and a distraction. Bill O’Reilly  wanted his guest on Thursday night to validate the concerns President Donald Trump and his supporters have expressed about unmasking and incidental collection. Peters refused to play along with O’Reilly’s game, instead directing his criticism at House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. “There is a sort-of scandal here in the fact that this wasn’t the national security council surfacing these documents. It was a couple of Trump appointees assigned to the national security council,” Peters said. “This wasn’t H. R. Mc Master.”. “It was clearly another attempt to divert attention from the main issue which is a question of whether or not Vladimir Putin’s regime ...

Bill O'reilly Stays Silent On His Sexual Harassment Scandal

... amok on college campuses. O’Reilly closed the show by highlighting his donation to a child-health charity. The 8 p.m. broadcast was O’Reilly’s first since The New York Times reported Saturday that five women, including Mackris, received $13 million in settlements from lawsuits accusing O’Reilly of sexual harassment or other inappropriate behavior. The Times revealed three additional cases against O’Reilly that had not been previously reported. O’Reilly said in a statement Saturday that he’s “vulnerable to lawsuits from individuals who want me to pay them to avoid negative publicity” and that no one has filed a complaint with the Fox News human resources department.

A sixth woman, psychologist Wendy Walsh, said in a press conference Monday that O’Reilly reneged on a promise to help make her paid contributor after she declined his sexual advances. Her attorney, Lisa Bloom , ...

Arrests At Vancouver Trump Rally, Russian Subway Explosion, And Bill O'reilly Is Gross And Untouchable

... Try to talk to him, can't get through. Every day he's a different dude. These are the signs of a grown-ass boy. Better run for the hills, I'm just trying to keep it real. LET'S GO TO PRESS.

Bill Maher Defends Bill O’reilly And Sean Spicer Over ‘bulls**t’ Claims Of Racism, Sexism

... opposite position from Maher, saying “she spoke out against racism and sexism, Bill. That’s what she spoke out against.”. Tanden’s racism and sexism claim completely set off Maher. The liberal HBO host launched into what became an anti-political correctness tirade. “This is why the Democrats lost the election in the first place,” Maher said, “because they cannot get their priorities straight and they never fail to take the bait about little bulls*t issues of—” Tanden interjected: “I don’t think racism and sexism are little bulls*t issues.”. “Why is it racist?” Maher asked. “Why is it racist? Because he compared two black people?”. Tanden then deflected to another controversy from this week, sparked by Spicer telling veteran White House reporter April Ryan, who is black, to stop shaking her head. Spicer was accused of being racist and sexist after making the comment, even though he has also made similar condescending remarks to other reporters who are white and/or male, like ABC’s Jonathan Karl and CNN’s Jim Acosta. Robert Gibbs, former White House press secretary under President Barack Obama, once told Ryan to “calm down,” ...
