Colbert and O'Reilly: Arrogance as an Art Form

[Unmarked Poster]

"Colbert’s spoof of O’Reilly-style reporting elevates O’Reilly’s arrogance to an art form. Monday’s highlights included a report on what Colbert labeled the “so-called separation” of church and state. “In God We Trust is right there where Jesus would want it, on our money,” intones Colbert, in his uber-American, love-it-or-leave-it voice."

1. Good post,

You gotta wonder, if Jesus Christ was on "The Factor" and took a different position than O'Reilly wanted, would he still be such a condesending asshole---I think he would.

Karma will not be kind to Mr O'Reilly.

2. I know for a fact...

that if Jesus disagreed with O'reilly he would shout him down. Any one remember the time McCain was on the factor and he was talking about the horrors of torture... from experience, and O'reilly actually had the nerve to argue and disagree with him like he actually knew more about torture than McCain?! I'm no fan of McCain, but I give the man his due credit. O'reilly is a sick man.

5. Really

How disgusting. And who is Bill O'Reilly to tell someone who actually was tortured they're wrong? :eyes: Only an arrogant fool like himself can do that one. That's like one time Sean Hannity was telling Clark (a general) he was wrong about something with the military (I forgot what now but I still remember that and thought it was hilarious).

8. I remember that.

Can't somebody just tell him him to his face (maybe Fox would edit it out). He does think he knows better than anyone - his shit don't stink, kind of thing.

Somebody, just call him a "Know-it-all" - to his face - on TV. Rub it in.

I don't think he'd stand up to the sarcasm very well.

3. O'Reilly would probably nail his feet and hands to a cross

and stand underneath bathing in the blood. (symbolically speaking of course)

he's the kind of person who was picked on as a kid and now that he's a big meanie likes to kick poeple, especially when they are down.

on edit: this was meant to be a reply to post #1

4. You think he was picked on as a kid

I imagine he was always a big bully.

6. Agreed.

He would crush smaller kids with his fat, blotchy head.

On my radio program one day, when Bill O'reilly says something crazy and I bash him, I plan to send Mr. O'reilly an e-mail asking him to come on my program. When he doesn't respond I'm going to totally be like: "I invited Mr. O'reilly onto the program this evening-but he refused! What's the matter, Mr. O'reilly, scared of the folks out there hearing the truth? That's all our show is interested in, and avoiding this program just leads to you looking ridiculous and timid for not baking up what you have to say. The spin... stops here."

7. I thought the opposite. He would have been one of those annoying

loud mouth's that got smacked around for being such a prick. I doubt he was "physically" gifted enough to be a bully. If he was then perhaps.
