Bill O'Reilly: Compulsive Liar, Habitual Liar, or Pathological Liar?

[norml]

Poll question: Bill O'Reilly: Compulsive Liar, Habitual Liar, or Pathological Liar?

While all of the above may be applicable, I'd like you to make a choice, and if possible justify it.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

1. Long Island Drunk.

He is the kind of guy who used to get his ass kicked at Twisted Sister shows, by guys wearing makeup. ;-)

[Renew Deal]

38. I thought that title went to Billy Joel.

:rofl:

[Erika]

2. A Right Wing pervert

Can you imagine him writing kid's books? He's lucky he's not up on sex charges.

[RagingInMiami]

3. He's a fucking prick

And I would love for him to get in my face like he does to some of his guests. I would leave him with two black eyes and a broken nose. Guaranteed.

[immoderate]

24. And I'd pay to see it.

:hi:

--IMM:popcorn:

[Floogeldy]

4. Groper, Pervert, Adulterer and Molester

}(

[sam sarrha]

5. just a dick weed..

[leftstreet]

6. He doesn't even believe his own spin. It was always about ratings.

He's far too smart to believe a single lie he spouts. He found a niche and made a lot of $.

Before long he'll be demoted to talk radio, like that Rush thing.

[hfojvt]

29. exactly - a profitable liar - a RW shill

but I am sure he believes some of it. It is not like he would change sides if George Soros offered him more money.

[kysrsoze]

7. None of the above - a fucking filthy, voluntarily lying bastard

Unlike a compulsive, habitual or pathological liar, this prick knows what he is saying is a lie and only does so because he knows there are people our there who buy his lies. He is the type who is willing to take advantage of ignorant people and use his lies to line his pockets. He's an actor (albeit a shitty one), and an absolute scumbag.

[ClusterFreak]

8. O'Reilly??

He's a mother!@#$%!!-ing asshole.:hi:

[MnFats]

9. I loved the typo one of the news stations had when O'Reilly was on..

...
"The No Spine Zone."

perfect. what an asshole.

[Golden Raisin]

10. A McCarthyite

He worships at the altar of Joe McCarthy who also was a bully who sneered at and shouted down his opponents.

[Sleepless In NY]

11. hypocrite, liar , pervert and chickenhawk

scum of the earth.

[libodem]

12. he's a punk

[EFerrari]

13. Serial mass abuser and he's going down.

I hope bin Reilly knows how to type! :hi:

[lapfog_1]

14. Uhh, psychopathic liar???

[depakid]

15. Clearly pathological

From Wiki:

A pathological liar is someone who often embellishes his or her stories in a way that he believes will impress people. Some think a pathological liar is different from a normal liar in that a pathological liar believes the lie he is telling to be true —at least in public— and is "playing" the role.

It is not clear, however, that this is the case, and others hold that pathological liars know precisely what they are doing. Making up stories and at the same time believing them is known as confabulation. Pathological lying is often the result of a mental disorder or low self-esteem.

Pathological lying is often used in acting, since the actor or thespian must "lie" convincingly in order to make a great performance, whether it's in a play or in a movie. Quite often, most pathological liars may be actors, as in My Big Fat Obnoxious Fianceé. Consequently, whether pathological lying is a mental disease is highly disputed.

23. You've convinced me.

I'll be calling him a pathological liar from now on.

[Marr]

16. I think O'Reilly has a real mental condition of some kind.

Seriously- I think the man is mentally unbalanced. His behavior is simply bizarre.

I really do expect O'Reilly to end up killing himself. I know that's a morbid thing to say, but it's true. Most of the other right-wing media clowns are transparent salesmen- but O'Reilly is different. The way he responds to criticism- it's simply not normal.

[Botany]

17. Scum

bill talked dirty to a scared subordinate as he played with himself as
he had a vibrator up his ass ...... and he tell us about values?

[tiptoe]

18. coward

[DistressedAmerican]

19. Had To Go With Compulsive Liar. Pathological Implies He Is Ill

and therefore unaware of right or wrong. It implies that his lying is out of his control.

He knows he is a lying prick. It is completely premeditated.

And another great book from the collection...

[Media_Lies_Daily]

20. D. All of the above.

[donheld]

21. WE HAVE A WINNER - No more callers please

:toast: How can anyone really vote for only one of the choices give? It is without doubt all of the above.

[rucky]

22. I said "habitual" because the other two you can't control.

He loves to lie. It's an art-form for him.

[donsu]

25. how about PAID to lie, liar

nt

[norml]

26. Though true, that's more of a job description than a personal description.

[Loonman]

27. Diddling

Classic.

[Tim4319]

28. He's compulsively habitual with with pathological tendencies!

[madmusic]

30. He really doesn't know he's lying...

... so that makes him pathological.

[LisaLynne]

31. That's the scary part, isn't it?

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[madmusic]

37. Thanks

It is scary. He can criticize something in one segment and do the exact same thing in the next, and not know it!

For example, in one segment the other night he was ranting about how Wal-Mart should be able to pay their employees anything they want (and interrupting his guest, a friendly guest at that, with every question) and then in the next segment he was ranting about Wal-Mart's CHOICE in not using Merry Christmas!

[triguy46]

32. I DEMAND to know why BUTTHEAD is not a choice???? n/t

[TheWatcher]

33. Sub-Human Piece Of Trash would be my vote.

[Iris]

34. Just a piece of shit.

[SunDrop23]

35. Cocksucker

[Initech]

36. Other: He's now the biggest douche in the universe.

I think with his attacks on San Fransisco, O'Reilly stole the title of "biggest douche in the universe" away from John Edward (the guy who thinks he can talk to dead people, not the former VP candidate).

[The Whiskey Priest]

39. Yes and he uses the word Islamofacist

He should be beat with his own bladder for that offense alone.
