Bill O'Reilly on The Daily Show: UNCUT!
I know what you're thinking. That Bill O'Reilly clip from The Daily Show came oh so close to fulfilling my recommended daily intake of douchebaggery, but it just wasn't quite enough. And I really don't want to have to go dig up a clip of Sean Hannity on YouTube this close to the weekend.
Well, fret no more. Because here's an uncut version of Bill O and Jon S's conversation from last night…

I have to my own termendous regret to say, that Im getting more and more bored with your shows. The correspondent stories are getting duller and duller, Steward is loosing the edge. This O'reilly interview is kind of a tribute to an increasing lame regress to a fiction that sneaked into The Daily show, afraid of taking the full step, dealing with the fear of one half of the american population being intensely white, well-off and rascist, as something real. Though the attempt of mediation are very empathetic and sympathetic it's just saucy to favour a discourse alla rationality when the opposition is in total fiction land pursuing some kind of raged proto-fascist lunacy. I'd much rather like to see O'Reilly get on a couch and speak about his possible childhood problems getting misused or something. Making friends with the one-eyed man is cute, but its possibly also pretty stupid, this guy will still have one eyeball in his head?
Thanks for some awsome shows through the times, you still rule

Jon Stewart a progressive? Give me a break. After pimping for John McCain for
so long, he kisses O'Reilly's behind for two segments. Ask yourself, what did they
really disagree about? Nothing except the pseudo issue of whether America is
"center-right" or not. Their position on the war in Iraq was exactly the same- that it was a "strategic" mistake that made America look bad. Stewart never challenged O'Reilly on his assertion that only the far left thought the war was immoral. Then Stewart says that O'Reilly is not an ideologue. Right. Being a
homophobic racist is not ideological – it's only being fair and balanced. Stewart is a right wing nut who sticks his head out of the right wing closet farther each week.
If Bill thought the vermont teddy bear was a panda then that explains a lot!
Hey, Ray, What are you talking about?
You take people's words as they say them, do you! You never hear any irony, the word is porbably not really known to you.
Or is your comment full of irony? Well, then it's hard to recognize. That the guest was not at all what he is normally was obvious to everyone who ever watched even just five minutes of Reilly. And if Steward wants this guy to come again to the show he has to treat him very politely.
Yes, there we think the same thing: Why would he want this guy to come again? I don't know! However, he seems to want this – so he was polite.
Once again: if you were ironic, I didn't recognize it. If you were not, you need to look more carefully.
dude, wtf! BILL O'REILLY IS A DOUCHE!!!!!!!!!1
Again, I have to say that I'm overwhelmed at how hostile and childish some of the posters here are behaving.
John Stewart navigates the razor-thin edge between offending & joking, between forgiveness & justice, and does it with such ease. These days it's not simply arguing the truth that's important, but arguing it constructively. Thank you Mr. Stewart.
The centre of American politics is to the right of the rest of the world. The two main political parties are on either side of that centre. When one party is successful for a long period of time you see the other party move closer to the other thus moving the centre one direction or the other. The failure of Republicans over the last 8 years has boosted the Democrats and after this election they have a clear mandate to implement centre-left policies.
This whole prefixing everything with centre is annoying – if you watch Bill O'Reilly on youtube you'll notice that he only ever says centre-right of far-left, never centre-left or far-right.
Jon.
Stop hurting america.
Jon is hurting America, eh? Sure. Comedic political personalities must be what's destroying America. God forbid we have some constructive criticism of the complete mismanagement of domestic and foreign policy over the past decade. No, it couldn't be the plutocratic right-wingers, promoting free-market capitalism and deregulation of the economy, who are hurting America. Nor could it be the general ignorance of the American people that's the problem. I suggest you read my previous comment…
