Hmmm... some of this Outfoxed trailer video effectively makes the point that O'Reilly tells his guests to shut up, but some of it appears to be excerpted from O'Reilly's editorial opinions, not his interviews.

Seems to me he's entitled to his views in the latter context ... and the American public to theirs.

Ron, shut up!

Here's a few more "Shut Up!" quotes from the humble correspondant himself.

Ron's right: there is exactly one instance of him telling a guest to shut up. And there is a borderline case where he says someone should "shut up about sex." Then there is the famous booksellers meeting where he told Al Franken to shut up, but the clip doesn't make it clear is wasn't from his show and Franken isn't shown. All the other shut-ups are from his commentary.

Why did they find it necessary to distort this when there are so many legitimate beefs against O'Reilly?

Keith, I knew I saw more than one instance, so I counted. The clip has four instances of O'Reilly shut-upping a guest, three taken from editorials, and two from O'Reilly's BookTV "discussion" with Al Franken.

O'Reilly's claim is that he only has once instance of doing it on HIS show. Stop distorting what the video clearly shows. The clever editing of the video has you thinking that one interview with Glick is suddenly 3 different interviews. They go back to the same Glick interview 3 TIMES. I'm sorry but if you're going to be an anal little technicality whore, then by all means proceed.

To an Anti-War Protester Whose Father Died on 9/11
O'Reilly: "Shut up. Shut up."
Jeremy Glick: "Oh, please don't tell me to shut up."
O'Reilly: "As respect—as respect—in respect for your father, who was a Port Authority worker, a fine American, who got killed unnecessarily by barbarians—"
Glick: "By radical extremists who were trained by this government—"
O'Reilly: "Out of respect for him—"
Glick: "—not the people of America."
O'Reilly: "—I'm not going to—"
Glick: "—the people of the ruling class, the small minority."
O'Reilly: "Cut his mic. I'm not going to dress you down anymore, out of respect for your father. We will be back in a moment with more of The Factor."
Glick: "That means we're done?"
O'Reilly: "We're done."

O'Reilly had no right to talk Jeremy Glick that way. Especially someone who actually lost someone in the WTC.
He had no right to say anything about his father, he didn't know him. He didn't know anything about him. I am sure Jeremy's father would have gotten up out of his chair and knocked Bill O'reilly on his ass for talking to his son that way. He's not a journalist if anything maybe he should write for the National Inquirer were his talent can be appreciated. So to all those other WTC survivors who don't support the war in Iraq..what is he going to tell them to shut up to. To bad he wasn't in the WTC. I am sure he's not someone who would be missed. There would also be a few less shut ups in the world. So what if they go back to the same interview 3 times. This is a kid who lost his father in a tragic horrible way and you are going to tell him to shut up? Classy guy. No wonder he represents the right wing so well. Here's a link that shows all of O'reilly's shutting up exploits. http://slate.msn.com/id/2087706/

I would really like to know how far Bill O'REilly stuck his foot down his throat regarding Japan's contribution to the Hurricane Katrina victims? I browsed but could find only a sentence where he states he is 'insulted' by Japan's contribution.

Any help would be much appreicated

It's too bad left-wingers focus on irrelevant issues like how many times someone says "shut-up".

How about debating an actual ISSUE that he has brought forth? Oh, well i guess you can't since you would lose that debate. I would suggest intelligent dissent, rather than he said, she said....

I heard that Private Media Group is releasing a shameless parody of Bill O Reilly! It's gonna be called 'God's Will' and will be released next month

I lost my cousin on 9/11 and never once did i believe that the government had something to do with it. My cousin was killed by murderers of Al-Queda. I feel sorry for Glick for the loss of his father BUT the government did not having anything to do with 9/11. If you want to point fingers we can point it at Clinton if you want. I know how my cousin died and i dont need an anti bush psycohpath to tell me how he died.

Idiot.
