you guys could get alot further with the truth, theres plenty of mistakes both partys make without you jerks having to drum up all this fabricated crap, your just a bunch of evil mean, nasty children.If Sunsara had brought one gram of proof with her to fox { I think she smoked it } she probably wouldnt of had to defend herself.
O reilly asked for proof , she had none , so shut up and go away untill you have something that is verifiable,youre hurting our country by poisoning impressionable minds.The country does need change and you guys where when why or how. Youre an embaressment to the human race.

“Bill- o-Really? Isn’t he a convicted sexual predator who would call his secretary for phone-sex right after the Sunday mass.  He is a cheater, Lier;and adulterer; right qualifications to work at FOX. He must really feel good about himself. Can’t tell his mouth from bushes ass. (That is a compliment Billy boy)
I think you have him confused with another BILL....like....oh.....BILL CLINTON?!?!”

Hey John,
There is one BIG difference, Clinton’s relationship with Monica was consensual—-his phone calls were welcome; just like Condi and Bush.
http://www.culturekitchen.com/archives/000647.html
O’Reilly’s assistant was repelled by his behavior, she thought he was disgusting and considered his behavior sexual harassment.

Way to go Sunsara!  You kicked ass.

Crooks steal through the use of lies.  They are not after the money in the cash register.  What they really want is a perpetual licence to steal.
Republicans never take their eye off this ball.

The video clip shows Sunsara Taylor the SUBSTANCE vs Bill the AIRHEAD.

It’s pathetic to see the AIRHEADED defended the defendless by repeating the same thing over 5 times.

Why not let Oriely keep talking, people can see what he is. besides, as an american, he has a right to open his mouth about ALMOST any thing he chooses. personally, I wish that he could see the truth and stop his bull. But hey, you have to have EVIL to show people the truth, so maybe we should be thankful that he exists so we can learn more about EVIL.

Lies are just another form of theft.  O’Reilly is a common criminal.  For that matter, all Republicans are common criminals who get rich by running rackets.

>>>Sunsara Taylor is hot hot hot!!! She’s also very pretty<<<<

Agreed, and also very sharp/smart.

I love her!  Amazing.  Cool as a cucumber and RIGHT ON.  Two words sum up O’Reily and his “lunatic” lambasting in the middle of her point:

Douche.  Bag.

“We must “nuke” San Francisco and eat the babies”
It is another axis of evil! ATTRIBUTED TO BILL O’REALLY, GREAT TV WARRIOR AND FAUX NEWS ACE REPORTER

There is nothing wrong with name calling as long as the names are truthful.  O’Reilly is a crook.

I’m so sick of these Right-Wing religious hypocrites—they’ve destroyed this country! 

“Hours after Bill O’Reilly accused her of a multimillion dollar shakedown attempt, a female Fox News producer fired back at the TV star, filing a lawsuit claiming that he subjected her to repeated instances of sexual harassment and spoke often, and explicitly, to her about phone sex, vibrators, threesomes, masturbation, the loss of his virginity, and sexual fantasies.” http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1013043mackris14.html

Hey Not amoonbat,

Go kill yourself now, you useless blob of cellulite. Plant your head under the wheel of an oncoming train. If that doesn’t work, try harder.

The next Spin Factor could be a debate discussing if O’Reilly is a PERVERT, and if phone sex at the office is politically acceptable.

Sunsara Taylor is hot hot hot!!! She’s also very pretty.

The right-wing proxys like O’Reiley, Hannity, Gallegher, Savage, and so forth were all put into place somewhere in between the “Republican Revolution” in the Senate and House and a couple of years before the seige on the White House.  The whole thing was orchestrated by the conservative think tanks and power players in Washington who knew that in order for their agenda to move forward they needed to shape public opinion.  Either by design or by coincidence, the divide and rule effects of their vitriolic and diabolical opration have played out at home and in Iraq.  But its kind of funny that as these control freaks start to see public opinion and events in reality breaking step with their delusional ideology and perverted world view, they simply fall apart, their smugness turns to anger & they let their true nature show.  They want to pummel whats around them either through, like O’Reiley, childish name calling and charcter assasinations, or “surges” of military might.  They are not stupid people, just evil of the most dangerous kind. They embrace selfishness as their first principle, greed as their second.  They have embraced the corruption of truth, and the supression of knowledge, and feel no empathy for the collateral damage resulting from the sociopathic pursuit of their own self interest. If the stock market were to crash and they lost their jobs and bank accounts, people like O’Reiley and his ilk, would be the smarmy cowards who’d steal an old woman’s blanket to keep himself warm, and take food out of a baby’s mouth because its every man for himself in this world, and self supercedes all considerations.  Look into their cold black hearts. THEY are ones who are truly sick & diseased in the soul.  Ya’ll know its true.

Sunsara Taylor, you have taken the correct steps to get your message across, and your message represents many of us. You do not have to converse with the likes of this guy. He will never understand, nor will he want to listen to anything that is sensible.

Please, please don’t waste your time, and please don’t feel you can use his show as an avenue to get your message across. This is the same approach they use. How many times have we seen Kristol on the Daily Show? He needs attention, he needs support to justify his menial existance. You are not in that category!

Is any Bill O’Reily’s family members serving in Iraq?

Did he ever go to Iraq and visit the troops?

I want to say thank you to vet 240 (Comment #46465) for responding to my comment.

I will try my best to tell my friends that there are many Americans who are against Bush. I respect America and the peoples of America in alot of ways. We really must stop George Bush and Abe Shinzo(Abe is the Japanese prime minister, he knows nothing.)

O’Reilly pwned this moonbat.  Illegal war?  WTF?  Then she claims that the public hates President Bush.  What an idiot.  He was elected twice!

I don’t know why O’Reilly was so polite to his loudmouthed interrupting bullying moonbat.  Perhaps he wanted the public to see her for what she really is. 

The one thing you gotta love about Fox is that they shine a light on these cockroaches.

what can you do?  O’reilley is the cleric of the americans who don’t want to doubt their government, who don’t ever want to question authority, who will sit and take it as long as it’s coming.  Thankfully there weren’t more Bill O’s in the 1770’s, or we’d still paying tea taxes to the empire.  what can you do though, most americans don’t agree with Bush but are too afraid to come out of the closet about it.  the only thing you can do is raise your kids to be skeptical of things, to vote, and to maybe convince at least one other person of the truth that history will hold this administration accountable (am i only dreaming?).

I’m not entirely convinced that Bill O’Reilly has both oars in the water. Like the rest of the TV windbags, he holds forth at length, sometimes not very intelligently, on this that and the other,
and you just kind of have to wonder sometimes.
I was brought up to understand and basically believe that people have the right to speak their minds. From what I’ve seen, Bill’s a better talker than a listener, more interested in kind of telling people what to think, than listening to what they’ve got to say. But, such is the modern miracle of television, some braying idiot in front of a TV camera, trying to get you to go along with what they say etc. Bill’s one of the Many, as it were, a long and distinguished list of people whose 15 minutes were probably up about, hmm, say, 3 months ago, but haven’t figured out that a lot of people have already changed channels…

I want to comment to #46426 by Dice.

First, thank you for continuing to respect the American people, inspite of the decisions of a few of us.

Thank you for pointing out that not only do a vast majority of Americans not support the methods used by the Bush Administration, but the vast majority of the peoples of all the nations of the world do not support our governments position or methods.

I hope that the peoples of the world do not hold all Americans responsible for the foolish mistakes of our “Decider”. I do think that at some point the American people, must stop this. If we do, we can regain the respect of our international brothers and sisters.

My God, does anyone here still take O’Reilly seriously?  I wrote a pretty critique of him about a year ago at The Centrist Coalition, pointing out his overwhelming bias, his constant spinning of facts, ad hominem attacks, and refusal to stand by the comments that he so boldly makes:

The debates on O’Reilly’s television show (if you can really call them “debates") are complete shams. His repetoire of debating tactics include resorting to ad hominem attacks, slippery slope arguments, strawman arguments, guilt by association arguments, correlation implies causation arguments, appeal to emotion, appeal to authority, and when all else fails, flat out lying. But most annoying of all is the tactic he employs when his guest refuses to be bullied by him and calls O’Reilly out on the logical fallacies in his arguments: he simply accuses his interviewer of “spinning” or “dodging the issue”, as he has done many times before when debating people smarter than he is on a particular issue (see here and here and here).

O’Reilly takes complex issues in which there are several different points of view and reduces them to left versus right debates. His often spoken claim that anyone who disagrees with his point of view is welcome to come onto his show is simply untrue. On July 24, 2004, O’Reilly offered a challenge to anyone who was willing to debate him on the Patriot Act. O’Reilly, a harsh critic of civil libertarians, has been an unapologetic supporter of the Patriot Act since the day it was passed by a congress that never read the bill. Members of Michael Badnarik’s Libertarian Presidential Campaign REPEATEDLY contacted O’Reilly’s staff to arrange for Badnarik to go onto the show and debate O’Reilly. Although O’Reilly never did answer Badnarik’s challenge to debate him, Libertarian activist Dr. Dean Ahmad was scheduled to come on the show to debate O’Reilly on the Patriot Act; however, as part of the conditions for coming onto the show, Ahmad was instructed that he could not mention either the Libertarian Party or Badnarik. Ahmad refused to go onto the show under these conditions, and thus O’Reilly quickly found a replacement.

Wow… This is what the right wing aspires to?

They have turned this country into one big hate fest.  It’s like they enjoy it.  They friggin’ wallow in it.  From day one, Bush has been a guy you either love or hate, and not many people love him.
The right wing has become a joke counter-culture, in which everything except global warming ("the greatest hoax ever perpetrated") is a deadly threat to our nation and the Iraq War was justified, no matter how false all the evidence was.  Liberals are out to destroy the country, Rudy will save the sanctity of the institution of marriage, Newt(er) will “fix” our first amendment, Keith Ellison is part of the “Mohammedomino Theory” of Muslim conquest, “Secular Progressives” created the Teletubbies to turn your kids gay, and “Culture Warriors” like O’Liely aren’t “Commercializing Christmas” for their sponsors… They are fighting a “War on Christmas” (Peace on earth is for sissies).

Oh yeah… And everyone else is a “Far Left Lunatic.”

Three cheers to the heroic effort by Ms. Taylor for trying to penetrate the Great Wall of Faux News and get a morsel of truth to the ears of their misguided watchers.

Having said that, until the majority of Americans who agree with her position get off of their hands and join the protests of groups like World Can’t Wait, people like Bill-O will be able to call her a lunatic.

I participated in the World Can’t Wait protest day on Oct. 5th 2006 and unfortunately many of the people I encountered were 9/11 conspiracy theorists. If the people chasing “little green men” don’t refocus their energy to what the WCW organizers are talking about the WCW will not have any credibility.

I believe that somewhere it is stated that the ultimate governing body of this country is us, the people.

I think it goes something like this, “Of the people, for the people, by the people.”

Asshole O’Reilly and most of our government seem to have forgotten that--they are supposed to be responsible to US.

They are where they are to SERVE, not rule…

We should ALL be in the streets (with a general strike in effect!)

I do not like being led by Christo-fascists who only serve Haliburton, Bechtel, the Carlyle Group, etc.,etc., etc.

Hi I am a Japanese living in Japan. I really like watching video clips on truthdig, it makes me understand the “real” world.
I can’t understand how O’reilly can call one of his guests on his show a “lunatic”. I am totally against the Iraq war, and I am extremely ashamed that the Japanese government is supporting George Bush.
People like Ms Taylor really gives me hope. Though their voices are not heard, there are many Japanese people who are also hoping that Bush will stop the war in Iraq. I know that there are many Americans like Ms Taylor who are fighting against power. I want to thank Ms taylor for her braveness and all other American people who are trying to stop Bush’s brutal violence. I will send love and peace from Japan always. Thank you friends!

I’ve seen polls that range from 62 to 75% against the administration’s handling of Iraq. This is not just one poll, it’s many of them. How can Bill O’Reilly consider himself to be an accurate newsman when (in this one particular example)he has absolutely no clue how the American people feel about this whole travesty? He can literally state that Sunsarra is not telling the truth when what she is doing is stating how the majority of Americans feel about this “war”. It turns my stomach....

How ridiculous is it that even at this point in the “destruction of America”, Bill “phone sex” O’Reilly can even pretend to speak for any large segment of this country. He is one of the chief propagandist for the most criminal administrations of all time.

She was terrific!

You’ll never see HER again.

It took lots of guts to do what she did.
When has the truth ever been a popularity contest?

I wonder why if it’s only a few people, as Mr. Bill asserts, did he need to bring her on and try to discredit her?

Maybe it’s because that somewhere inside himself, he has some doubts about this, and he’s trying to convince that part of himself that he’s right, to march unthinking behind the president.

President Bush is the closest thing to a dictator this country has ever had. And if Mr. Bill isn’t afraid of that then he’s just not paying attention.

Billy O’Really is SUCH a whiny little coward—and no, that’s not name-calling, that’s a simple statement of fact.  Not that hypocrite chickenhawk Billy would know a fact if it whacked him over the head.  Why does even a fascist like Rupert Murdoch keep him around?  Why does anyone watch Faux Spews anyway?  Why did Ms. Taylor think she was going to get anywhere with their psychotic audience?

Bill, if you’re such a great supporter of “fighting for America”—then why were you playing punt-kicker, and getting a degree in “History,” instead of serving your country in Viet Nam?

Billy has proven time and again that he and reality are not well acquainted.  Congrats to Ms. Taylor for trying—but was anyone listening?

Sunsara Taylor held own exposing O’Reilly as the pompous fool he is. Even Fox veiwers may be swayed by the cool logic of her statements despite is name calling vitriol.

Bill Oreally is a uninformed idiot and a liar.

I pulled the following data from “Pollingpoints.com.

I’m sure Bill Oreally will say this orginization is peopled by “Left wing Nut-jobs”.

According to the latest poll taken by Pollingpoint.com the group most likely to say withdraw all troops from Iraq immediately have Post-Graduate degrees (50%), with an almost identical value from those with less than a high-school education.

The same poll asked, “Will the Iraq war make US safer against future terrorist attacks?” 70.5 percent said no.

When asked, “How are things going overall for the U.S. in Iraq?” 80 percent of the Democrats and 60 percent of the Republicans said, “Very badly.” Only 20 percent of the Republicans said, “Very well.” None of the Democrats gave that response.

C’mon Mr. Oreally, eight percent?

It’s no wonder you and the Fox Network are becoming the laughing-stock of the world media

The one thing the Bush administration has done well is to drive a big wedge between the people of this country.  Until we all stand up, without fear of persecution and retrobution, we will continue to slide into chaos.

Once again, O’Reilly, a cornerstone rightwinger, proves Conservatism has only scummy lies, smears and distortions with which to defend its morally
undefensible position.

Whay are Conservatives such inveterate liars?

Why are Conservatives so inherently dishonest?

Why do Conservatives HATE America’s values and freedoms so much?

The answer: Conservatives themselves are immoral WEAKLINGS, incapable of making ethical, or even adult, decisions in regard to politics and social issues.

It’s not really about politics at all with Conservatives--It is about the virulent, toxic pathology of Conservatism itself.

Ms Taylor did a great job.  And O’Reilly made a fool of himself yet again

Sunsara out classes Bill Oh’Really by sticking to her guns/facts and not getting baited into the name-calling session that Swill was obviously hoping for (I on the other hand don’t possess the same restraint!).

Thank you Sunsara...you do speak for the majority of us.

The minute that putz started to call Ms. Taylor a lunatic I stopped watching. I cannot tolerate such ignorant remarks by anyone, especially the likes of o’reilly, who thrives on demeaning others because they are far more informed and intelligent then he.

All of us who are sickened by the policies of the Bush administration and its enablers in Congress and the corporate-controlled media should be following the example of Sunsara Taylor. We should be doing whatever we can whenever we can: demonstrating in the streets, writing, blogging and speaking out to anyone who will listen, including self-identified conservatives and Republicans, even on their own turf like Fox News.

Hopefully, at least a few of them who saw the contrast between calm, rational Sunsara and the near hysterical, bullying O’Reilly have had the seeds of doubt planted in their minds.

I tried really hard to watch this until the very end, and I did, although Bill O’Reilly makes me nauseous.

Yes, he reacted, as usual, with insults, with talking over the person he had invited to talk, with demeaning her, trying to make her look like a lunatic minority, but he did not succeed!

She kept her head, continued to talk calmly, and did herself proud. As for O"Reilly, he was his usual jackass self.

The part about this that I found most interesting is how far O’Reilly goes to try to put his words into the mouths of the “American people” and completely ignore the truth of the matter: that the majority of Americans oppose Bush and the war on Iraq.

It’s worth it to observe Sunsara Taylor’s responses to his baiting and perseverance at getting to the heart of the argument, laying out the facts on the Iraq war being a violation of international law by standards set at the Nuremberg trials, as well as the mass opposition to Bush and what he stands for. Props to World Can’t Wait for being out there to expose, oppose, and confront the complicit members of the US government about these issues and to call for impeachment to be put back on the table even as the so-called opposition party takes power.

I think it’s gonna take a lot more of this to make a change, and we need it as soon as possible!

Nonsense.  Bill O’Reilly was not the only one who made a fool of himself on that tape.  Sunsara Taylor did an equally good job. 
O’Reilly was correct in arguing that we must retain the rule of law including a functioning House of Representatives which should not be shouted down by a mob. He did not, however, address Taylor’s legitimate concerns about the outrages committed by our government. 
Taylor was correct in arguing that our government has done some pretty outrageous things but refused to listen to O’Reilly’s concerns. 
And of course O’Reilly scored absolutely no ponts in calling Taylor a lunatic.  He simply demeaned himself in so doing.

Wow!  I watched the Bill O’Reilly/Susara clip:  I was so impressed by Sunsara I can hardly contain myself.  So articulate...so poised...such a model of courage in the face of O’Reilly’s relentless attack.  I know I could never accomplish what Sunsara did: bravo.

Thank God there are people like Ms. Taylor who are standing up to hold the politician’s feet to the fire. America has spoken and if they don’t get the message it’s time we took to the streets. Who wants to live in a dictatorship imposed by the likes of George Bush or Cheney. Lunatics? Only in the moronic world of Bill O’Reilly is a patriot called a lunatic.  He has lost all credibility.

The attitude of Ms. Sunsara Taylor, and her willingness to debate the likes of O’Reilly are precisely the qualities (plus her erudition and evident pleasure in debatre) that the Congressional Dems. need to exhibit in opposition to Bush & co.

I believe that she reflects a spirit that Americans feel: that Bush has to be stopped and his stupid, murderous adventures terminated.

I was a little disappointed that Ms.Taylor didn’t answer Mr.O’Reilly’s question:

YES, they DO have the right to shout down an elected official. There’s no protection for elected officials from speech, and I’m sure if there were it would have been exercised during that press conference.

What did you expect? 

Facts=left-wing conspiracy theory
Data=left-wing conspiracy theory
Truth=left-wing conspiracy theory
Reality=left-wing conspiracy theory

What happens when you say to a right-wing Bush/war supporter that we still haven’t found WMD, that Iraq nor the rest of the world is any safer, that of the 3 countries listed by Cheney/Bush as the “axis of evil” 2 of them have nuclear weapons...yet we chose to invade the ONE that did not have any, that we are still awaiting the “concrete evidence” Bush promised in the days after 9/11 that would link Al-Qaeda to the attack (and by the way...are we still looking for Bin Laden?), that the agreement was never to bring democracy to Iraq and that we did not have a plan to win the peace 3 weeks before the invasion?

Choose the best answer:
A. “With all due respect,you are a lunatic”
B. “Well you must be sayin’ that you want Bin Laden up in da’ White House talkin’ all that KOO-ran stuff?”
C. “Are you saying Fox News is wrong?”
D. “there you go again liberal, listening to all them facts and data and truth about the whole thing...you gotta listen to Jesus and your heart.”
E. “You must not want America to win” (not necessary to establish what “win” signifies...simply pose the question and demand yes/no answer---keeping in mind this picture:
http://www.phillyist.com/attachments/philly_nicole/mis sion-accomplished.jpg

F. “Jesus told me that Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly are his reincarnated disciples...they will lead us to victory”
G. “Waa-Waa-Waa-Waa- I can’t hear what you’re saying...Waa-Waa-Waa-Waa.”
H. “You’re dead wrong buddy...country music tells me that ‘these colors don’t run’”
I. All of the above

This is NOT a time of independent thought and truth-seeking.  If you question anyone or anything, doggone it, you ain’t American.

Never in a million years did I think I would be living what I studied in history books: fascism.

I’d have thought FUX news would have added a laugh track to O’Reilly’s reality show long ago. Does anyone still take his tired act seriously other than himself.

If Sunsara Taylor is a lunatic for wanting peace, then Bill O’Reilly must be a pervert, when he uses PHONE SEX to harass his female staff.

Cooperation, consensus, conciliation and compromise are nothing but curse words to self styled “pundits,” particularly those like O’Reilly who are so consistently proven ill informed, illogical, and ill tempered.

As to the name calling, shouting, and bullying, that is either proof that that they have little personal confidence in the persuasiveness of their arguments or proof of their incompetence as interviewers.

Either way, why is anyone still listening to them?  How many times must listeners sample yellow snow to finally realize it is not for consumption?

[more irreverence at resistence-is-possible.blogspot.com]

Ms. Taylor is a class act. She kept her composure and made some damning points. Maybe I need to check out her group “of 50” and make it 51 loonies.

Bill O’Reilly and his views are not news. Stop giving him space. Maybe he’ll go away.

I don’t why Ms.Sunsara Taylor bothered to be on the Fox network. To expect a rational conversation with O’Reilly is quite insane.
Mr. O’Reilly is the reflection of the decay
that has gripped this nation.

I prefer this FDR Quote:

“The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the goverment. “

Bill, you are the lunatic, and you are rude. Do you think you are making your point by shouting down Suesara Taylor who makes some valid points which are suported by polls. The fact is the American people are against this war and do want our troops out. Congress can only do so much even if they have that goal. Constitutionally the president can keep our troops in Iraq indefinitely. Congress can withhold funds but that would hurt the troops or they could impeach Bush and be left with Cheney. The Peace activists of the world do have to shout so this congress hears them loud an clear.

It never ceases to amaze me just how many right-wing supporters seem to think that juvenile name-calling is equivalent to intellectual debate.  Whenever I see or hear someone resort to making derogatory remarks, I’m inevitably reminded of a quotation attributed to FDR to the effect that the first person to resort to offensive tactics such as physical force (or in this case verbal abuse) is the one who has lost the ability to think and is out of ideas.
