This is huge! I enjoy the Factor and think it should be a really great factor.

this is huge! maybe obamas ss detail will give the fey little man a beat down we all would probably pay to see!

Ok we will have the factor (better known as the lier) vs Obama who has the better policies. However since factor doesnt give ashit about the facts Obama is going to be walking into a bees hive.

G'ints, 'Skins open the NFL season Thursday night.

There goes the audience share.

Really?

He will go on O'Reilly, but wasn't he one of the ones leading the drive to cancel the Fox News debate?

i'm sure he'll be fine in a beehive

he might come out a lil puffy
but the bees will be dead

joe, only in your dreams. Do you even have a clue what facts are? I don't like bill but he does try to be fair with all of his guests.

"I don't like bill but he does try to be fair with all of his guests."

Bull Shit, I will never forget his disgusting attack against the son of one of the WTC victims.
I don't know why Obama would go on his show other than just to prove he isn't afraid of bullies.
O'Rielly is nothing except a big bully.

I think the difference is that nobody even pretends that O'Reilly is legitimate at this point. It will be seen like he were appearing on the Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart.

I was gonna post it on here but I lost it, but I read somewhere that Rupert Murdock and Obama had a come to Jesus meeting.

Obama said that Fox was going after him more than they normally would and Murdock said they were going after him because he snubbed Fox. So they kissed and made up with each side promising to do better.

We'll see. I guarantee you that if the word comes down from Murdock to make it nice, O'Rielly will do so. Murdock knows every politician all the way from george washinton on down. He knows who's gonna be the next prez.

the Fox News debate...

Candidate Obama, could you explain why you're a Muslim who attended a Madrassa and would secretly turn this country over to Islamofascists because your wife hates America?

Candidate McCain, could you tell us what your favorite breed of puppy is, and why?

It's a trap!

That sounnds like it was taken straight out of the Katie Couric question book.

"I don't like bill but he does try to be fair with all of his guests."

I once saw him tell an invited guest caller who was a witness to an event he was discussing (he didn't dispute that she was a witness) that what she was saying happened was incorrect and that his version of events, which he made up on the spot, was correct solely because it more closely fit in with his world view. That was the last time I watched his show for more than a minute.

I can't imagine that he won't try to assign Obama positions and motives because that is what Bill O'Reilly does to guests he doesn't agree with....

Le's see, the Factor is the highest rated news program on cable. You people are so out of touch.

O'eilly is the most fair person on the news. If not Bll, who do you think it is?

I suppose its good practice for what's to come.

I used to listen to this meathead until one day he was debating, arguing, or whatever you want to call it, with and female atheist. She was brilliant and he was such a complete stupified asshole that I turned him off permanently.

nutsack,

who do you listen to / watch?

O'Riley is a jerk, but Obama needs to get out there and do the interview. All this talk of reforms or hope or whatever is getting lost in the no mans land between the two entrenched parties. Yet, it will mostly likely be a much-a-do-about-nothing; as Dems will love Obama, and Reps will bash him. Get ready for the straight party voting come November, ahhhh democracy at its finest.

"Le's see, the Factor is the highest rated news program on cable. You people are so out of touch."

And "reality" shows are the highest rated shows on Tv....your point is?

Good for him. Bill will kiss his ass. Factor watchers will gain a measure of respect for Obama. You're correct to assume that Murdoch would like to see Obama win. McCain is played out as a media figure. Palin is more popular than he is. This race is over.

...and the food at McDonald's is excellent because they're number one!!

O'reilly is good. He does try to get a balance view of the news and issues. His work for Jessica's Law in the different states has made a difference as well as all the funds he has helped raise for the troops and various charities.

There is a reason he is number one, that is because people are smart enough to know when someone is biased. That is why Oberman does so poorly. Most people do not want to listen to his partisan diatribes. To me Oberman and Hanity are the same person, just with different points of view. I can only watch either of them for a few minutes and then I have to change the channel.

this give Obama a chance to reach some the GOP people (GOP =Grand Old Gays), maybe he will make a few of them straight, may help airport restroom safety.

BBC, NPR, Politico.com, The Economist and The Christian Science Monitor, Reuters for me.

You almost have to go outside the US media if you want the truth.

The Economist is the best publication ever on the face of earth for fair and complete political news. One word of caution, if you read a story on economist, it may take you a couple of hours because don't try to dumb it down for mass appeal.

O'Reilly's an Independent. We know this because he told us.

Obama Held Secret Meeting with Fox News
In Vanity Fair, Michael Wolff reports on a "secret courtesy meeting" between Sen. Barack Obama and Fox News chief Roger Ailes earlier this summer.

"Obama lit into Ailes. He said that he didn't want to waste his time talking to Ailes if Fox was just going to continue to abuse him and his wife, that Fox had relentlessly portrayed him as suspicious, foreign, fearsome -- just short of a terrorist.

"Ailes, unruffled, said it might not have been this way if Obama had more willingly come on the air instead of so often giving Fox the back of his hand.

"A tentative truce, which may or may not have vast historical significance, was at that moment agreed upon."

Ben Smith notes Obama will appear on the O'Relly Factor for the first time on Thursday.

McCain Backs Out of CNN Interview
Sen. John McCain "pulled out of a scheduled interview" with CNN "after a segment with Campbell Brown and a top McCain spokesman Monday night in which Brown asked for examples of a foreign-policy decision made by Republican vice president pick Sarah Palin," according to Broadcasting & Cable.

We mentioned McCain's falling out with the national news media yesterday. The McCain campaign has now directly taken on the New York Times, NBC News and CNN.

Politico notes McCain is "lashing out at the media to deflect Palin from scrutiny and to rally a party base that has fallen hard for the conservative Alaska governor."

A question: Is it a good strategy to battle with the media just two months before an election?

GOP =Grand Old Gays

Were you dropped on your head as a small child?

"GOP =Grand Old Gays"

"The Economist is the best publication ever on the face of earth for fair and complete political news. One word of caution, if you read a story on economist, it may take you a couple of hours because don't try to dumb it down for mass appeal."

It takes so much time to get through the articles but when you're done you realize you actually learned something.

BTW, Has O'Rielly cancelled his boycott of France yet???? Remember when he sited a made up French Economic Magazine that he claimed said that his boycott had harmed the economy of France. He is a liar and an asshole.

"Don't block the shot!"

It's a silent P, Kingers.

Not sure... Look at why he's doing it though... he's standing up for the shitty way the left and the Media is treating his running mate... a woman. Doesn't make her look strong, but it makes him look like a good man for standing up for a woman... That might appeal to the dames out there...

Danni,

I beleive the fictitious magazine was the "Paris Business Daily".

Of course imports from France actually increased AFTER Billy's boycott started.

Obama should bring him a loofa for a present.

I'm sure he meant "Poofters".

he's standing up for the shitty way the left and the Media is treating his running mate... a woman

Rob he didn't Vet his VP. Someone has to...

One day after the campaign grudgingly revealed new information about the unorthodox nature of Palins background check, McCain strategist supremo says:

The McCain campaign will have no further comment about our long and thorough process.--

Comes after WashPosts Balz reports the Alaska governor wasnt subject to a lengthy in-person background by vetter Culvahouse until last Wednesday in Arizona, the day before McCain asked her to be his No. 2.

Campaign still refuses to say when Palin handed in her exhaustive questionnaire.

Of course imports from France actually increased AFTER Billy's boycott started.

Vet her policy decisions and performance as mayor and governor all you like. The Left and the press going after her latest pregnancy or her daughter went too far. None of that has anything to do with how she would act as VP and McCain and the right should be pissed about it...

Hell even Obama agrees, which is why he said it should stop and flat out said he would fire anyone in his campaign that was a part of it.

Rob I don't think she's being attacked any more the BO, Biden or McCain.... The rights just being a little senative right now...

Maybe you should just avoid posting things that make you look dumber than you are....

Furthermore, contrary to O'Reilly's claim that France has lost "billions of dollars" due to an American boycott, American imports from France have actually increased since international tensions with France began in the months prior to the start of the war in Iraq in March 2003. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in February 2004, the United States imported $2.26 billion in French goods and services, up from $2.18 billion in February 2002.

Bill Rules, And most people who come on there deserve more than a dress down, they deserve a beat down. I really enjoy when he had Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, I disagree with everything he says, but he is smart and definelty give Bill a run for his money. That is what i like about Fox, they have Bob Beckel, Dr. Hill, Juam Williams, Geraldine Ferraro,and a lot of lefties. MSNBC has Pat Buchanan and they cut his mike.

Those of you who hate Fox and want to close it down. From now on we will refer to you as "The Josef Goebbels Society" You guys would feel right at home with Black Uniforms with a skull and crossbones on your hats. Only you would call yourself something flowery like "The Tolerance police" a fascist by any other name is still a fascist.

I hope he is tough, but fair and asked questions no one else will because they love him

"...and performance as mayor..."

$26,000,000 in earmarks, and she still left them $20,000,000 in debt.

Built a sports complex and park in a city without a sewage treatment plant or storm drainage system.

Oversaw greatest expansion of city government in Wasillas history.

Lowered taxes for businesses, increased tax burden on residents.

Had to hire a city administrator after her election to help her run the town of 6,000.

FYI...

Will McCain Die in Office?
Politico looks at the likelihood of Sen. John McCain living out his presidency, if elected this November.

"It's a macabre point to raise on the night when Palin will speak to the convention here -- but a look at the actuarial tables insurance companies use to evaluate customers shows that it's not an irrelevant one. According to these statistics, there is a roughly 1 in 3 chance that a 72-year-old man will not reach the age of 80, which is how old McCain would be at the end of a second presidential term. And that doesn't factor in individual medical history, such as McCain's battles with potentially lethal skin cancer."

"The odds of a 72-year-old man living four more years, or one full White House term, are better. But for a man who has lived 72 years and 67 days (McCain's age on Election Day this year), there is between a 14.2 and 15.1 percent chance of dying before Inauguration Day 2013... Going by the Social Security Administration's tables, that's nearly ten times the likelihood that a man aged 47 years and 92 days (Barack Obama's age on Election Day this year) will die before Jan. 20, 2013."

Sorry Rob, but it is the GOP that is constantly claiming some moral high ground on the subject of teen pregnancy, birth control, and sex education. It is the republicans in my opinions that made her track record as a mother 100% relevant to the discussion. They loved the idea that she has 5 kids and choose not to abort her most recent child with downs. But now that the quality of her parenting skills is called into question they don't like it.

"Those of you who hate Fox and want to close it down."

Er....who said they wanted to close Fox down???
I don't like or watch Fox but I never said it should be shut down or that O'Reallyaliar should be taken off the air. I vote with my remote control.

I don't know why Obama would go on his show other than just to prove he isn't afraid of bullies.

and it took a long campaign just to get him on fox with wallace.

You're right BLT, a US Senator has no responsibilities. This goes for McCain's career in the Senate as well then, right?

I don't believe she is a shitty parent, but that is the tone of the message and it seems to be sticking to a certain extent. It certainly shows a glaring problem with her policy opinions related to sex education and birth control. My point has less to do with her parenting ability and more to do with its relevance to the presidential race.

"She's a shitty mother because 17 year olds like to fuck?"

I suppose that there will be some sleepless nights in the a-hole household in, say, 14-16 years from now. Perhaps sooner.

well actually there is little responsibility for thier actions and votes. its the old rule by committee idea......when you have that and there is a fuck up then NO ONE person is repsonible but with a governor..........well........
..there is a lot more EXECUTIVE experience and personal repsonsibility..........

and remember though I am talking about the VICE president ...yes a heartbeat away.......and you are talking about THE president who IS THE HEARTBEAT

and did any of you hear obama AGAIN ATTACKING AND INSULTING SMALL TOWN AMERICA when he showed the wasilla city hall and talking about how small and insignificant it was

here are some facts from the headline news network

she over saw 75,000 employess as governor
obama has 2500 in his campaign

she was in charge of over a billion dollars a month and his campaign only has 21 million per month

the difference in both of those numbers are staggering.

and again.......you want to play the experience game with us.....

BRING IT BABY

and when you add up all of the days of service to community and government..........palin has more.....if thats an important stat.........

and again.......you want to play the experience game with us.....

BRING IT BABY

But Karl Rove criticized Governor Tim Kaine as too inexperienced to be VP for Obama since he was a governor for only three years and before that was the mayor of Richmond VA.

So what is the difference between Palin and Kaine? I mean other than Kaine being mayor of a city ten times bigger than Wasila and is Governor 1/3 longer. What is different?

point made.....

so now then please compare the length of time of kaine and obama?

I see the storyline already.

O'rielly: Senator Obama, what, who, why, when......

Obama: Orielly interruption, Orielly interruption, Orielly interruption.

End of interview.

Obama proves me wrong,I didn`t think he had the guts.(eat him alive Bill)

Will the Obama people submit the questions to be asked like Hillary did? This is more a test for O'Rielly. Will O'Rielly whimp out?

so now then please compare the length of time of kaine and obama?

Yes he does not have a lot of miles in Washington under him.

But I don't want someone entrenched in party politics for decades as the next president.

It is about new ideas, not old ideas.

The truth is I would seriously consider support McCain if he had not sold out every position that he stood for in 2000 just to win the nomination for 2008.

"I was gonna post it on here but I lost it, but I read somewhere that Rupert Murdock and Obama had a come to Jesus meeting.

#10 | Posted by Lipzoidial"

Not much there really, it's a short segment in a larger article about Murdoch, not Obama.

"It wasnt until early in the summer that Obama relented and a secret courtesy meeting was arranged. The meeting began with Murdoch sitting down, knee to knee with Obama, at the Waldorf-Astoria. The younger man was deferentialand interested in his story. Obama pursued: What was Murdochs relationship with his father? How had he gotten from Adelaide to the top of the world?

Murdoch, for his part, had a simple thought to share with Obama. He had known possibly as many heads of state as anyone living todayhad met every American president from Harry Truman onand this is what he understood: nobody got much time to make an impression. Leadership was about what you did in the first six months.

Then, after he said his piece, Murdoch switched places and let his special guest, Roger Ailes, sit knee to knee with Obama.

Obama lit into Ailes. He said that he didnt want to waste his time talking to Ailes if Fox was just going to continue to abuse him and his wife, that Fox had relentlessly portrayed him as suspicious, foreign, fearsomejust short of a terrorist.

Ailes, unruffled, said it might not have been this way if Obama had more willingly come on the air instead of so often giving Fox the back of his hand."

BLT, the "experience" issue is what the right is pushing because they have an older than dirt candidate. It is not my issue. It is not the Dems issue. It is your parties issue.

Funny how your parties own candidates fly 180 degrees in the face of the issue.

again........we are talking about the PRES.
man with finger on button......as we used to say until clinton came along and changed that forever

and you are talkng about the VP

wow....that may be the greatest clinton deflection I have ever made.......

Where it all started. About 45 seconds in.

Whatever goes down, you can be sure that Bildo will jump up and down, foaming at the mouth, for the next few weeks telling everyone how he 'destroyed Obama'.

Bildo will then go home, ignore his wife, slide a rubber dick up his ass and call a subordinate at FOX to sexually harass her while attempting to get her to talk dirty under duress.

Ahhhhhh......the 'No Spin Zone' has lost all yaw control!

I don't like bill but he does try to be fair with all of his guests.

O'eilly is the most fair person on the news. If not Bll, who do you think it is?

I take that back, this wins it all.

O'Reilly slammed Brittany Spears mother when Brittany's sister got pregnant. I don't watch him. Has he had anything to say about Sarah Palin's 'mothering skills'? My guess is no.

Bill O'Reilly on teenage pregnancy:

On the pinhead front, 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant. The sister of Britney says she is shocked. I bet.

Now most teens are pinheads in some ways. But here the blame falls primarily on the parents of the girl, who obviously have little control over her or even over Britney Spears. Look at the way she behaves.

Bildo will then go home, ignore his wife, slide a rubber dick up his ass and call a subordinate at FOX to sexually harass her while attempting to get her to talk dirty under duress.

"She's a shitty mother because 17 year olds like to fuck?"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++

No, she's a shitty mother because she had to know that her daughter's life was going to become very public.

A good mother would have spared her kids (including her special needs child) the hell they are going through(and will continue to go through).

She's putting her political ambition ahead of her family.

To deny that is a joke.

When Joe Biden tragically lost his wife and infant daughter in a car wreck in 1972, not a single colleague, friend or competitor advised him to quit his newly won Senate seat to raise his two little surviving sons.

Rather, he was sworn into office from the injured boys' bedside, and took to commuting an hour and a half each way from Delaware to Washington.

Selfish prick.

This is no trap, Bill goes after everybody, that's what I like about the guy, everyone is fair game. The only thing Libs have to fear about Bill is the same thing anyone else has to fear, regardless of Party, if your wrong he's comin for you. He's had info on peeps that after it had come out, Bill had held back due to his ideals and values. The guy is concerned about his show and ratings but there are factors that go beyond all that in Bills world.

Plus this can be a somewhat turning point for O'bama. I think he'll do fine and I'm very intereseted in what he has to say.

He's a great speaker so let's see whats behind the man. He's ususally coddled by the mainstream media as their darling and I have yet to hear any true substance pulled out of the guy

Besides if he cant handle O'reilly what are we to think about him in the arean with the Russsians, Iranians or Palestinians

And obama?

What POLITICIAN, doesn't put POLITICAL AMBITION ahead of family?

The only reason you are using it as an attack against Palin is because you're a sexist.

Bullshit ROB

Obama doesn't have a pregnant teenage daughter who needs all the emotional and physical support she can get from her mother, and not the glaring media spotlight.

To any other family this would be a family crisis and they'd prioritize in favor of their family instead of choosing to hit the campaign trail and subject their daughter to the glare of international media attention.

Very selfish. Not what any other family would do.

The partisan prick DogWhizz calls Biden a selfish prick for not putting his children ahead of his elected office. After all he could have vacated his Senate seat and told his sister and family that he didn't want their help but didn't do either. Perhaps he felt a sense of responsibility to the people who elected him as Senator and perhaps his sister and his family rallied around because that's what real families do.

If this makes Biden a prick then perhaps he's a 1 or a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. DogWhizz is an 11 on that scale.

Biden, unlike Palin, was not a heartbeat or a cancer growth away from the presidency either.

Biden as far as we know and unlike McCain didn't tomcat around while his wife was alive and ill. If DogWhizz wants to throw the word prick around perhaps he should look a little nearer what he calls home.

Blue,

If you google Biden, you will see that his sons turned out to be fine young men, both educated and successful.

Now say what you will about Palin, but I think the actions of her daughter screams that something is missing at home. Something that needs to be provided by either Todd or her.

Now my cousins both work and neither one of their daughters were pregnant at 17. One is going on to medical school, the other is going on to art school.

Something is wrong in the Palin household and if neither of the parents can see that, then it is there families loss.

Bullshit ROB

Obama doesn't have a pregnant teenage daughter who needs all the emotional and physical support she can get from her mother, and not the glaring media spotlight.

To any other family this would be a family crisis and they'd prioritize in favor of their family instead of choosing to hit the campaign trail and subject their daughter to the glare of international media attention.

Very selfish. Not what any other family would do.

So if during his administration one of Obama's daughters gets pregnent you will call for him to step down?

Once an idea likes this gets into someone's head it replaces thought and would probably take surgery to remove. People like O'Reilly make a very good living putting it there.

That whooshing you hear is the sound of WisGod's comment flying right over your head.

726,

Perhaps I was being unclear, I was not criticizing Biden. Given the facts we know his behavior seems perfectly OK in regard to his family. Contrasted with McCain's family behavior it is exemplary.

Taking nothing else into consideration I don't see anything wrong about Palin accepting the VP slot. If Biden can make alternative arrangements then so can she. As so often with Republicans though there is that unmistakable whiff of hypocrisy in the air when the party that never shuts its mouth about family values and a mother's unique role in child rearing just tosses all previous beliefs aside when they become inconvenient.

Add to that the transgression against the Republican dogma of no pre-marital sex, McCain's typically thoughtless selection of her without adequate due diligence and her acceptance knowing the baggage she'd bring. Well, unless you live in that reality-free zone so beloved of Republicans you might just have to acknowledge that there just might be some negative electoral consequences.

This is brilliant. Many people will toon in to the skins game, but that group more than likely would'nt watch McCain anyway. So what you have left is the political wiewers. I hope Obam's interview is at the same time McCain is speaking becuase if it is, what better way can you think of to take the audience away from McCain's speech. Although Obama going on tomorrow night might have been a little better so that he coud change the Palin subject, as McCain did after Obama's speech.

You're saying he was being ironic? I don't agree. Read it again. DogWhizz could tell us. Will he?

"Many people will toon in to the skins game,"

I'll be watching the 'Skins game. My wife takes precedence on our other DVR and she'll be recording "Bones". What you gonna do?

I'll pick it up later on FOX.com, youtube, wherever.

So if during his administration one of Obama's daughters gets pregnent you will call for him to step down?

Michelle Obama is running for VP?

Crap, I'd better Google News that pronto

That whooshing you hear is the sound of WisGod's comment flying right over your head.

It was a pathetic attempt by Wisgod. Biden was the sole breadwinner when he lost his wife and half his family. What he did was exemplary.

I have no problem with Palin running as VP, as long as her husband handles the kids.

Thank goodness Biden had a sister to step in and help.

I hope he asks Obama about this:

I'm really looking forward to watching Obama on the O'Reilly Factor tomorrow night.

Very smart move, too, on Obama's part because now many staunch Republicans
who might not have bothered to watch Obama on some other venues will get a chance to hear what he has to say.

In case anyone missed this post earlier. Hilarious!!

I also look forward to the interview tomorrow as well. O'Reilly has over-hyped this interview to the his flock expects a Perry Mason moment, "Ok Bill, I am a radical communist. Please just stop the questions." There won't be.

The strawman that the republicans have built up to comic proportions lessens ecpectations of how Obama will do. This has nothing but upside for Ohama.

But looking at how Democrats are bashing Palin's daughter then this is not a surprise.
