What a hateful shit head.
I can never hear a word he says because I can't get the image of him drunk dialing an employee with a vibrator shoved in his grommet out of my head every time I see his smarmy face.
Uglier than a muddy shovel dumber than a bag of hammers

Now I can't!
I remember the time he had dinner with Al Sharpton in Harlem:
During the September 19 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, discussing his recent trip to have dinner with Rev. Al Sharpton at Sylvia's, a famous restaurant in Harlem, Bill O'Reilly reported that he "had a great time, and all the people up there are tremendously respectful," adding: "I couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship." Later, during a discussion with National Public Radio senior correspondent and Fox News contributor Juan Williams about the effect of rap on culture, O'Reilly asserted: "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M-Fer, I want more iced tea.' You know, I mean, everybody was -- it was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all." O'Reilly also stated: "I think black Americans are starting to think more and more for themselves. They're getting away from the Sharptons and the [Rev. Jesse] Jacksons and the people trying to lead them into a race-based culture. They're just trying to figure it out. 'Look, I can make it. If I work hard and get educated, I can make it."

(36,875 posts)4. Calls For Bill OReilly to Be Fired Intensify After Maxine Waters Comment

Apparently, he has apologized
Following Bill OReillys comments about Representative Maxine Waterss hair on Fox & Friends this morning, calls for his termination have intensified. His James Brown wig observation has been called sexist and racist.
Dear @FoxNews: Bill OReily is racist and should be removed from your airwaves. Vile. https://t.co/YMyKa59I18

Does @FoxNews have a standards and practices department? Because theres not a news organization I know of where this could fly. https://t.co/OPGj6Y09dF

I seem to recall Don Imus being fired for similar commentary about black women; though in that case, not about a *member of congress.* https://t.co/2d2ldkCv92
