Video: O'Reilly whines about blogging and Media Matters.
(Have some popcorn ready)

I always get a kick out of this nut's windbag rants on people that debunk him until the cows come home.

1. This is weird even for him
Can someone say paranoia?

He needs help.

Of course, the people at whom he's so angry are the ones who have caught him doing something bad. Everything that happened to him would have to be the worst, most dangerous thing ever. Poor Bill. :freak: :sarcasm:

There's nothing like a right-wing talk show host to let you know what it's like to be completely self-centered.

4. He's convinced MMA is stalking him and that his life is in danger.
:eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

see this excerpt from the transcript:
<snip>
O'REILLY: Absolutely valid, excellent point. But here's the problem: these people are so vicious, and they -- the media is so corrupt in taking their uncorroborated, as Mr. Babbin pointed out -- defamation that most people now won't run for office, sir. They won't do television and radio commentary. They won't put the -- when we had to book this segment, I couldn't get people to come on and say what you guys are saying, because they were afraid that Media Matters would go after them. They -- I couldn't -- I had people turn down this segment -- a bunch of them -- what are you, crazy? I'm going to criticize these assassins? They'll come after me. And that's a chilling effect.

KLINE: Well, I'm not naming names here, right? I mean, I don't want to get stalked.

O'REILLY: You see, you don't want to get stalked either. So put yourself in a position of somebody running for office or somebody trying to do an honest analysis of the news and they don't want to do it. Go ahead, Mr. Babbin, take the last word.

BABBIN: Well, basically, you can't be afraid of these people because the facts are what they are. And they're easily answered whenever they take these cheap shots. I'm not scared of those guys. I don't think anyone else should be.


O'REILLY: They can make stuff up -- look, they make stuff about me -- up stuff about me every day.

BABBIN: Sure.

O'REILLY: Every day of my life. And believe me, I've got to have bodyguards. I've got to have security wherever I go. And it's because of them. I don't fear them; I loathe them.

(Note that O'Liely gets the last word rather than his guest.)

3. Aw poor O'Reilly
Blogs catch your lies? Boo-hoo. Maybe you shouldn't lie! And I love when Clark is on there and tells him about the military and then O'Reilly comes back and tries to tell a four star general he's wrong about the military. :eyes: O'Reilly is such a boob.

5. O'Reilly suffers from a
whopping case of overgrown narcissistic ego. I'm convinced he is really not concerned about anything except his own image. He is the biggest blogger on the planet. Too bad his personal blogging is presented on national TV. He and Bush are perfect bedfellows.

6. I heard Billy whining about this on his radio show yesterday...
It just made me laugh.

Poor, poor Billy.

7. That's awesome! Look at all the publicity he's giving them
He's such an idiot. And, he's obviously very afraid now that there is a voice out there dismantling his bullshit.
