Bill O'Reilly Offers Inappropriate Acknowledgment Of George Carlin
Reported by Deborah - June 23, 2008 - 35 comments

It would have been better if Bill O'Reilly had ignored the death of George Carlin tonight, 6/23/08. Instead of remembering Carlin with some kind and respectful commentary, O'Reilly acknowledged his death during the Reality Checks segment which is reserved for people BOR has decided to straighten out, denounce or humiliate. Carlin's passing was tossed in the mix with Billy Crystal, David Letterman, Reverends Wright and Pfleger , Big Brown, MSNBC and Newsweek.

Self-absorbed O'Reilly dug up an old clip from an interview in 2001 showing him confronting Carlin about using "the F word". Then to make it even more inflammatory to his faithful viewers, he left in a part where Carlin is critical of the church, a red flag of disapproval for "the folks".

He included no tribute to Carlin's long and trailblazing career. The best he could muster was condolences to his family and a comment that he was a "witty guy." I'm sure George Carlin would have the perfect response to BOR's lack of grace and humanity. Personally, I find it incomprehensible.

2. The ultimate hypocrite

Fact is, the world has no further use for RW Media Hatemongers. I'll be glad when he's gone.

3. "We here at the factor" really means "Me, Bill O'Reilly" and "The folks" are really "Bill O'Reilly"

4. C'mon, be fair:

"Mr. Carlin was indeed a witty guy, no doubt."

He praises with understatement as only a master of the English language could do. :sarcasm:

10. Oh-ho! I like how you did that

using sarcasm to mean the opposite of what you actually wrote. Very clever. Bill O'Reilly is, indeed, the definition of awesomeness cheese on Sociables cracker. Cheers to you, sir!

5. the controlled experiment continues...

Russert v. Carlin. How did O'Reilly treat the news about the former?

7. Bildo is a bigger obscenity on the tee vee than any spoken word.

unless of course those spoken words are left on an answering machine.

8. Long after BOR joins Morton Downey in the talk show dust bin of history, Carlin will >>>

>>>be remembered as a giant in his field.
If O'Reilly's massive ego would ever lower the firewall and let him understand that, his head would explode.

9. It's a mystery to me why ANYBODY at all pays any attention to anything BORe says.

I gave away my TV many years ago, and gasbags of that ilk have not troubled me since. I mean, who cares what he's gassing about???
