Olbermann Names O'Reilly "Worst Person" TWICE! (VIDEO)

Huffington Post   Danny Shea First Posted: 03/18/10 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 03:40 PM ET

Bill Oreilly Worst

Bill O'Reilly achieved the distinction of being named not just Keith Olbermann's worst person in the world Tuesday night, but also his second-worst.

The Fox News host took both the silver and the gold in Olbermann's "Countdown" segment Tuesday.

First, Olbermann slammed "Bill-O The Clown," giving him the "Worse" badge over his recent legal debate with Judge Andrew Napolitano, in which O'Reilly said, "I don't care about the constitution" and called Napolitano a "pinhead" when he invoked it.

Next, Olbermann knocked "Bill-O The Fraud," giving him the "Worst" crown over comments so irrational even Glenn Beck had to disagree with them.

On Beck's radio program, O'Reilly predicted a "tax revolt" and said, "I think people, when they figure out how badly they're going to get hurt in the next few years, there's going to be a tea party on taxes and it's gonna get nasty. Nancy Pelosi's going to be bobbing up and down in Boston Harbor."

"I don't think that's necessary," Beck responded.

"If anybody else had said what O'Reilly had said about the Constitution and about, say, Speaker Hastert, O'Reilly would have called for their arrest!" Olbermann said, calling O'Reilly a fraud.

Mr. President,
You should be ashamed of yourself. After all KO has done in your behalf--during the ML scandal he quit MSNBC because KO said it was ML 24/7 and he was tired of it. He defended your eviscerating of Faux News when you appeared with Chris Wallace.
When you say that universal health care is a matter of politics and not a right, I have lost all respect for you.
You were our latter day Kennedy sir--one that I could point to and show my daughters, " We came sooo
close to getting universal health care."
Political?
You betcha!

Talk about taking statements out of context. Bil's statement about the Constitution was simply saying he didn't care what the Constitution said about the matter under discussion, he wanted a straight answer to his question.

It should be amazing but its become routine, does anyone have more contempt for the Ameican system of Justice than Bill O'Really? I sometimes think that he may favor the Napoleonic System where everyone is presumed guilty and must prove their innocence. But as we all know and understand that is the primary system at work in Europe and of course, BIll rejects European justice as well as the American system.

One can only hope that Bill, known for idealizing both the grade school 'justice' of nuns and those following a Catholic vocation, is not facing any responsibility for his actions. No, he has alway claimed that he need not respond much like a american taking the 5th!

For everyone else Bill O really seems to prefer the Stalin era Show trial! Thats what this "discussion" about weasels seems to be about! If Bill O'Really is concerned about weasels why hasn't he looked into Rupert Murdoch? Murdoch seems to be one of the most flagrant liars to spoil the our earth in the last 30 years! But does Mr O'Reilly care about that? Not so one could tell! He is willing to take any money coming his way. One of the most notable hypocrites to soil our waste treatment facilities that our country has ever seen.

I had to laugh hering Mr. Keith say he was number one in viewers, under 35 who didn't watch FOX, Isn't that like me saying I'm the richest man in the world if I don't count anyone who has more money than me? If you have ever seen him standing up, well misshapen is the word that comes to mind. I like the news on MSNBC but not his show.

Here goes olberman bringing up what Bill O'Reilly supposedly said and attacking him for it. olberman is so desperate for viewers and ratings he continues to bump it up by slamming Bill and FOX News at every given opportunity. Mainly because he doesn't have enough talent and intellect to come up with any original material of his own. I believe olberman has a "man-crush" on O'Reilly. He's just obsessed with him. olberman will never have the viewers and ratings that O'Reilly has. Bill's laughing all the way to the bank, Keithy. You know, come to think of it I NEVER wonder what olberman's saying on his little show each night. Who cares?

It's mindless to continue to go after FOX news when there are more pertinent persons of power to go after. Pelosi is a pinhead. Olbermann would be more relevant if he were willing to call out politicians both Democrat and Republicans who have failed the constitution and their constituents. It doesn't take much courage to do what he is doing.

KO would be a lot more entertaining if he wasn't so damned over the top.

Olberman needs to get some new material. It's always, O'Reilly, Beck, Palin, very,very boring!

im really not interested in defending oreilly,and ko has for yrs now reported on a ton of stories which nobody else would touch.overall,he's an asset to the progressive movement.however...

sh** like this makes it easy for the right to say "see,they take everything out of context" etc...

oreilly obviously wasnt literally saying he didnt care about the constitution.that is clear if you watch the entire interview.

we have to resist behaving the same way the right does.the way oreilly does,in fact.
there is plenty of evidence of oreilly sh***ing all over journalism.thers just no need to reach this way.
12:51 PM on 11/19/2009
I respectfully disagree with you. I'm glad to know about this because I would never watch O'Reilly, but I do ocassionaly read articles about something he has said. He used the words,"I don't care about the constitution..." how is Keith taking that out of context??

Also, he is definetly inciting violence against Pelosi. That can't be argued away. He is trying to incite violence against the Speaker of The House...and if anyone else had said these two statements, BillO would shout from the rooftops.

BillO is a blatant liar and a fraud. Thank you Roger Murdoch, you megalomaniac from Australia.

i should have been more clear.
i wasnt disageeing with the one about nancy pelosi.ko was 100 pct right on that one.

and i resent you forcing me to actually explain bill o's actions again,but you cant say you didnt watch the interview and then say:"but i couldnt possibly be wrong".

oreilly was being sarcastic.and thats clear if you watch the interview.

I'm more concerned that Barry O and the Dems don't care about the Constitution. Bill O'Reilly can't silence me or take my property.

To maintain, (get it,) maintain a clear view of BO and others ignorance, the world MUST have someone constantly calling them out. Those axxHolEs are on TV every day, we need someone swinging the bat of clarity right back at ;em EVERY DAY.....

I wish there were ten people doing the same thing. Some how this unbelievable constant spread of horror needs hammered off the air waves. Rational people unite!........(damnit....how?)

Go Keith. Keep up the great work.

Well, you just said what I was trying to say above, but you said it much better. Right on!!! You have to fight fire with fire. That doesn't mean you are stooping to their level, but they MUST be called out on their constant lies. Thank God for Keith Olbermann, and the many comedians who have become our 4th estate, starting with Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Steven Colbert, and many more.

Sooner or later the conservative republican fauxnews disciples will realize that ratings are a false positive when it comes to an election based on democracy.

With all the viewers that fauxnews had they still couldn't put McCain in the oval office, what does that tell you?

I saw the funniest d@mned thing advertised during Countdown of all things last night. Some rightwing rag is advertising Sarah Palin's new tome for $4.97 with a subscription. There's a way they can say "SEE, look at how popular she is by how many books she sold" (when they have to practically give it away).

Haha. When Khrushchev returned from his famous trip to the US he wrote a book of his memoirs. No one would buy it. So they printed millions of copies and forced State employees to give them away. It got so bad that the employees responsible to doling them out couldn't find any more takers, but kept receiving boxes of books. So they stashed them in attics and outbuildings. Once in a while you can still find an unopened box of them.

O'Reilly had it coming. Free speech is legal and good, but there are laws against threatening people with de@th, and for good reason. Hate to agree with Glenn Beck on anything. That's how out-of-bounds O'Reilly was, if even Glenn Beck had to be the voice of reason.

proud, grow up and enjoy d!ldoheads like O'Reilly getting publically called out by troopers like KO. if you're proud to be moderate then you should be able to recognize truth and BS no matter which side it's coming from.

KO rules you.
