Bill O’Reilly: The Proto-Bully Years

Posted on May 12, 2008
O'Reilly
youtube.com

This early footage of Bill O’Reilly from his previous gig at “Inside Edition” captures the future Fox pundit letting fly with a few F-bombs when he doesn’t approve of—or understand—the copy written for him to read during the show’s final moments. Hey Bill, there’s no “I” in ... oh, never mind.

Update: YouTube took down the clip, but thanks to Keith Olbermann, the spectacle is once again available below.

Watch the clip:

They took it down. Think Murdock & Co. are trying to protect their prized propaganda machine?

Hitler close enough I suppose Fadel, though I admit I’ve never seen him either.

Ya know who’s a whole lot closer though?

Richard B Cheney.

HE does this kind of stuff routinely.

under construction - emotionally over sensitive, grandiose and childish.
What’s alarming is people actually watch him.

pull the plug on MSM and flourish, or stay stuck in the lie.

LMAO!

I can’t believe this ain’t some comedy sketch.

It’s sad that this idiot is allowed to pass for a journalist. Our forth estate is in abysmal shape.

Out takes of news readers is always funny. What is curious about his angry bombast is that he was hosting an entertainment show, Inside Edition. If he could get that bent out of shape from a teleprompter, it is no wonder his illustrious career at Fox has become a showcase for a stupid, intolerant buffoon. This is a genuine American success story, where mediocrity is not only approved of, but actually exalted.

Holy sh*t! That’s both funny and the most human side of O’Really I’ve seen to date. The best part will be when he denies he was genuinely outraged. “Oh that? That was part of my hilarious bloopers reel. You’re not going to believe video tape are you? You’re a f*cking pinhead!” Then they made him go out to a music video from Sting? He must have foamed at the mouth! F*ck that’s funny! What does KO call him? The “Worst Person In The World!”

You could see the rage, the madness, bubbling on the surface from the first few seconds. O’really needs to stop taking things so seriously, I mean I don’t (take him seriously).

Is O’Reilly a little Hitler?!

I can’t find the appropriate words to describe this untamed savage called Bill O’Reilly. All I can say that this dumbass, psychotic, bigot is an outstanding example of what’s wrong with these sad United States of America.

I never seen Hitler in person in my life, but it’s really strange that whenever I see this evil O’Reilly, the image of Hitler comes to mind.

OÂ’Reilly always had that ‘mega-chip on his shoulder’ look just like the psycho twins, Bush-Cheney.
