Send Bill O’Reilly Back to School

It's back-to-school time! Parents are starting to shop for their children's school supplies: notebooks, pencils, crayons, and of course, Bill O'Reilly's book, "The O'Reilly Factor for Kids." Talk about one of these things being NOT like the others!

O'Reilly thinks he can teach our children proper behavior, and we can't think of a worse father figure than an angry, hate-filled shock jock notorious for telling guests to "Shut up!" We wondered what would happen if kids read O'Reilly's book and then saw the real O'Reilly for themselves. So we put together a video to illustrate O'Reilly's duplicity.

O'Reilly's bullying antics show he never learned the lessons the rest of us were taught in school. Send this video to all the teachers, parents, parents-to-be, and anyone who has contact with kids, and don't forget to Digg it! Tell us what your teachers taught you that O'Reilly should have learned about how to be a responsible grown-up, or what your kids' teachers have taught them. We'll put all your suggestions together and send the list to O'Reilly at FOX News.

It's bad enough O'Reilly spews hate-filled lies on his shows to grown-up audiences, do we really want our children to be exposed to the same behavior? Do we really want this angry adult influencing our kids? While we only subjected the kids in our video to a few minutes of O'Reilly in order to prevent permanent damage, imagine the harm his children's book could do!

    I really hope you aren’t endorsing the dixie chicks! They are quite possibly the worst people ever. And republicans rock? I can almost bet you are a middle aged, upper middle to upper class women from the south.

    Millitary Momma, I respect your opinions and I’m not naive into thinking that anything I have to say will change them, just as I’m sure you know that there is nothing you can say that will change mine. But I wish people would realize that he is intolerant and extremely rude towards other people who deserve nothing but respect.I am offended whenever he has negative comments towards other people who haven’t done anything except have a certain lifestyle or point of view different than his own.

    Hey Gator Man,

    Next time you have a point too make, try making it while spelling your own party affiliation correctly. It’s conservative…not conservitive. I have a family of 5 and I work hard every day for the money to raise my kids. You are not the sole keeper of responsibility or love for your family simply because you are an ignorant republican. Though clearly you are in sole possession of your grammatical ignorance. Not surprising. Go spew hate on a site that fosters your fears.

  4. Right That says:

    Right Nicholas,any view point different than yours
    is hateful. You are a pathetic display of humanity. Try and use your brain for once instead
    of acting like a five year old. I can’t wait til
    Obama is president and he runs the US right into
    the ground,that’ll finally put a stake thru the heart of disgusting liberalism once and for all.

  5. Right That says:

    BTW if you prefer lies and propaganda go watch
    MSNBC or NBC. Their blatant fabrication of the
    news is well documented. Perfect for the sheep
    of the left.

  6. Geoff says:

    Why don’t we tell the kids that Uncle Bill paid hundreds of thousands $ to a female director of his TV program who unjustly accused him of sexual harassment after Uncle Bill said he was going to fight it all the way ?

  7. Military Momma says:

    Dearest Neive Nicholas,
    So sorry that correcting grammatical errors is as deep as you go. Sounds like a typical Lib.
    Gator Man keep up the good fight.
    Right That..you rock too. Lets keep all these mindless, zombies on the run..this is fun ..don’t forget your gun. hhhuuu-rrraaahhh

  8. Military Momma says:

    Dearest Delirium Dylan,
    I can’t stand the Dixie chick(as can’t most of us hillbillys in the south)after their malious comments they made about our President while over seas. SHAMEFUL. It funny how you find yourself so enlightened and totally missed my point by a “country mile.” Did you get my point?
    Wrong again on all the stats w/ the execption of the demographics. What’s the matter does yourwife boss you around?you little weak yankee boy? Maybe you can meet your boyfriend ater work and he can make you feel like a real man again.

  9. Military Momma says:

    Dearest Student,
    Thank you for your constructive arguement. But do you realize in your arguement you have proven my point? Most of the people writing on this blog are much,more hateful and bitter because people don’t agree with them so much more than I have ever heard Bill O’Rielly. We all have our opinions but it is only wrong when the mud slinging starts and the real issues and dialog are negated.Lets try to stay on the issues people.

  10. Military Momma says:

    thanks again “Student”
    your intelligent,thought provoking differences are refreshing and would be the first from the left on this blog.

  11. mike says:

    Thank goodness there is this website. Im really happy that people realize how bias fox news is. Bill oreally is nothing more than a @55 who has his own tv show. I just wanted to thank everyone for supporting this website. Its about time fox gets put up on front street.

  12. XTV says:

    And speaking of school:

    -Restore language ed. -even Latin
    and Greek. Make it rerquired.
    No kidding.

    Restore classical music ed.
    Rediscover form.

    -Introduce mandatory life-study
    drawing classes. That’s right -for
    everyone. Sad most grow up getting
    their entire sense of the body from
    cheezy pornography. No depth.
    And the ‘personalities’ that go along with it.

    -Introduce life-cycle field trips
    to hospitals etc. See it all from
    birth -to death. So much for the
    vicarious thrill-rides of talk TV
    and tabloid news.

    Too much tech-lock and ‘skills’
    training disguised as education.
    Not enough hard science.

    —WAY -WAY too much.

    XTV. No images -just XX’s.

  13. Ginger says:

    Can you possibly believe that all the liberalism taught in the schools is helpful to children?
    Do you condone teachers having sex with school children?
    Do you think all the childish, rude, ignorant behavior exhibited by liberal congresspersons on the floor is a good example for children?
    Do you think Al Gore telling kids they 'instinctively' know more than their parents is good?
    Do you think tax evaders and other criminals running the Country is a good example for children?
    Do you think this encourages children to cheat & lie?

    Man, you are really off base!

  14. patricia says:

    I would first like to state that I am liberal ( this should not be considered a dirty word). I believe that there is far too much hate in this world. I don't think someone that is a complete bully (such as O'Reilly) should be influencing our Children. We should all be teaching on a daily basis to accept others and that anger is never the answer. Being a bully only makes you less credible as far as I'm concerned. I wish for a better future, don't we all?

  15. Jenifer says:

    There is no right or wrong when it comes to opinions.

  16. John Truth says:

    Bill' O The Clown and his twin brother Rushare old school hate mongers who don't have a place in a modern world. They are the very type who would wear a hood and white robe. The are racist and sexist with pervert thrown in to the mix. Boycot any sponser who supports these jerks. Fox news is a complete farce and should be avoided by any thinking person. If you want lies and spin they are your people to watch.

    “I can't stand the Dixie chick(as can't most of us hillbillys in the south)after their malious comments they made about our President while over seas. SHAMEFUL.”

    While the loony right-wing fruits and nuts at “teaparties” are comparing Obama to hitler…

    Hypocrites.

  18. docwillis says:

    oreilly: the hypocrisy factor…

  22. OLD DADDY says:

    I KNOW,WRAP YOURSELF IN THE FLAG,AND STAND ON YOUR BIBLE,ANY OPINION YOU HAVE,MUST BE THE RIGHT ONE.

  23. OLD DADDY says:

    FLAG?MUST BE THE CONFEDERATE ONE!

  24. LeftOfCenter_44 says:

    WTF does Liberal Values have to do w/ teachers screwing students? Liberal and Progressive values are the ONLY reason that women can vote and work, that blacks can eat in the same restaurants as whites or use the same restrooms, that there is a minimum wage, or that children cannot be forced into labor, maybe you shouldn't take for granted the things you have without recognizing how you got them.

  25. LeftOfCenter_44 says:

    You show me documented lies that were not retracted from MSNBC………I'm waiting………I didn't think so. Now I'll show you DOCUMENTED LIES on FAUX Noise. http://www.dailykos.com

  26. LeftOfCenter_44 says:

    You're the epitome of treasonous. You wish ill toward this country. Well, here we are over 1 year after the Presidency and he saved a 2nd great depression, created the largest health care victory in over 50 years, is regulating the banks that killed our economy, and ALL with NO help from the right. Shhhhhh/…….. Suck it, don't BITE it….

  27. wash says:

    THen you mam are an ill informed crazy person

  28. ike says:

    you all are a bunch of rednecks get a life

  29. At the time, the council expected the organization to be self-sufficient in five years, but that may be unrealistic

  30. Pete says:

    This is laughable. It reminds me of another emotional illiterate, Bill Bennett – who wrote “The Book of Virtues” and then lost 8 million in slot machines. Now a headless talker on Fox.

  31. Macmike says:

    O'Reilly doesn't give a flip about children and knew full well what he was writing (IF he even wrote it) was the complete antithasis of his own behavior. He saw a market he hadn't tapped and knew his devotees would buy the books for their kids. Ka-ching!

  32. Zakikay says:

    I admire the valuable information you offer in your articles. I will bookmark your blog and have my children check up here often. I am quite sure they will learn lots of new stuff here than anybody else! aggressive dog training

  33. Croydon says:

    No one should pay heed to a man who sexually harasses a woman in his workplace, like O'Reilly did.
