O’Reilly to receive a ‘Media Courage Award.’

oreillyvalues The right-wing Family Research Council has announced that at its upcoming Values Voters Summit this fall, the organization will be honoring Fox News host Bill O’Reilly with the first-ever “Media Courage Award.” In his announcement, FRC President Tony Perkins specifically cited O’Reilly’s coverage of the late Dr. George Tiller:

Bill O’Reilly has never shied away from denouncing late-term abortions and the handful of doctors who perform them. In the aftermath of George Tiller’s murder, O’Reilly became an easy target for the liberal media who tried to pin some of the blame on Bill, saying he incited the violence by decrying these unnecessary procedures on his show. Despite the unfair allegations, O’Reilly spoke the truth, bringing new light to a gruesome procedure. On behalf of our co-sponsors and millions of values voters, we want to express our gratitude to a culture warrior who uses his national platform to promote life–no matter what the personal or professional costs.

O’Reilly rarely spoke the “truth” about Tiller, who was murdered by a radical anti-choice extremist. What O’Reilly did was demonize him, calling him — even after his death — “Tiller the Baby Killer” or “Dr. Killer.” “This is the kind of stuff happened in Mao’s China, Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Soviet Union,” O’Reilly said of Tiller’s medical practice. Beyond the Tiller commentary, O’Reilly rarely shows “courage” on his show. Nothing says courage less than sending your producer to stalk people because they once wrote something critical about you and you’re too afraid to actually call them up and ask them for a response first.

    – - The award is accompanied by a reach-around from Tony Perkins.


  3. blackwidow says:

    I wonder how hard it will be for a liar like Tony Perkins to actually get into heaven?


  4. Zooey says:

    Family Research Council

    I’ll assign that the appropriate weight…


  5. ralph the wonder llama says:

    So the “Family Research Council” is honoring media coverage that incites murder.

    Excellent.

    Oh, I think he’ll have to do a few more go-arounds first. Starting as a tapeworm.


  7. BuckarooBanzai says:

    Ranks right up there with a Pulitizer or Peabody. He should be very proud of his incredible journalistic accomplishment. Maybe he’ll be a repeat winner next year by inciting someone else to committ murder…

  9. kasinca says:

    An award from the right wing fascist christian taliban terrorists who believe murdering doctors is okay to save a fetus. Way to go BillO.


  10. WAYNEBRO says:

    A media courage award ay? Well, he’s certainly earned it.

    :|

    It takes a lot of courage to say the all the crap he says on the air every day.


  11. Zooey says:

    According to the FRC, it’s OK to kill people — as long as they’re well-educated, tax-paying, law-abiding, contributing members of society.

    But leave the zygotes alllloooonnnneeeee!!!!

    Do they have a media nutbag award? O’Reilly would be better suited to THAT award

    FRC is considering this a warm up. If they can gain enough power by exciting violence O’Reilly will be promoted to Captain Comandante of Concentration Camps.

    Who knew that settling out-of-court for sexual harrassment would one day be recognized as courageous ?

    This award will go up on his mantle right next to his imaginary Peabody awards.


  25. WillowOrchid says:

    Remember Laugh-In’s “Fickel Finger of Fate” award? Well, O’R should get something similar from Progressive Blogs, such as “The Finger”. He’d probably love it, though. Literally.

    Values Voter Summit?! WTF?! Family Research Council is another religious wingnut group awarding O’Reilly for inciting people to committ murder while claiming to be pro-life.

    Rascist, sexist, elitist O’Reilly of all people!

    Unbelievable!

  31. Badmoodman says:

    O’Reilly to receive a ‘Media Courage Award.’

    – - Just another award for Colbert’s Who’s Not Honoring Me Now segment.

    Hitlers job was to infiltrate liberal groups. He quickly found out that the nationalist socialist party was just a front…he then joined and became leader of it.

    Congratulations Mr. O’Reilly! A well-deserved award! Glad to see you survived TP-Toilet Paper’s attempts to get your sponsors pulled! 6 million viewers per night by 2010 for sure!

    johnson44, I’m curious; many right-wingers tout the ratings of right-wing talk shows, as if they had some bearing on the actual quality of information dispensed therein.

    Can you tell me, please, what does ratings success of O’Reilly and his ilk demonstrate to you? Does it represent the triumph of a conservative message in the free marketplace of ideas?


  35. Megaloptera McWars says:

    ‘Media Vomit Award’

    There, fixed it.


  36. Xisithrus says:

    Their is no correlation between BORes numbers of viewers and political vixtory, if there was the conservatives would have kep control of the house and senate. That did not happen.

    Thanks BORe!!


  37. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    I see the Family Research Council is confusing the word “Courage” with the word “Coward” again.


  38. Badmoodman says:

    O’Reilly to receive a ‘Media Courage Award.’

    – - If only Burt Lahr in full Cowardly Lion costume (pre-OZ visit) could present the award.


  39. RUCerious says:

    This award is routinely given to perverts, sexual harassers, and lowlifes.
    It fits O’Biley to a T.


  40. ljm says:

    COURAGE? Courage is easy when you can sit in front of a camera and just entertain yourself with outrageous diatribes knowing that you can always say “My opinion.” Freedom of speech vs. freedom of hatred.


  41. Moderate Man says:

    express our gratitude to a culture warrior who uses his national platform to promote life

    I didn’t know that inciting violence against a doctor was the main qualification for this award.

    That sort of also throws away the whole ‘pro-life’ thing. :|


  42. Ape-Man says:

    Hmm.. When the F.R.C. comes across a turd like 0′Liely they have wrap it in gold. They can’t clean up the mess so they contain it in a pretty little shit bag.

  49. Jackie says:

    The two Americas one with those of Christian Family/Moral Values and the other group that gives lip service. O’Reilly is a racist who spreads hate and encourages people to commit crimes. This shows how low the Bush Administration has brought this country as O’Reilly is pure Evil. At lease we know Satan followers get awards, look for Dick Cheney to be next in line. Fox News hires no qualified Journalist so what else can we expect. Now the ladies at the event better bring their pepper spray for protection from O’Reilly the prevert and a man known for harassing woman.


  50. gummble-bee-itch says:

    O’Reilly’s rants are courageous? Because spouting vile “pro-life” rants put him in danger from crazed bombers at NARAL? Is it Opposite Day?


  51. ADAY says:

    Ben Nelson to sabotage healthcare (

    Here is part of the statement:

    “In a statement issued late in the afternoon by Nelson’s office, spokesman Jake Thompson warned that if the new series of ads calling out the Senator’s “stalling” on reform were “an indication of the politics going into August, then health care reform may be dead by the end of August.”

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/31/ben-nelson-on-ads-run-aga_n_249057.html

    I say let’s get another Ad going using these threatening words against him.

  52. sscncturn64 says:

    A fcking award for billdo? and then theres wingnuts who think he deserves an award.
    Im going to say something that alot of people will think is harsh. Billdo should be stood up against a wall with a firing squad in front of him. Billdo,beck,hannity,limpdick, are dangerous to the well being of our country.
    These nuts dont just make up little white lies that are harmless. Day in and day out they lie to get their viewers wound up. We all have seen the results when some of the wingnuts are wound up too tight and then snap. They keep bringing up Obamas place of birth,and they call him a racist.
    Then they say that Obama is going to take away their precious guns. These talking heads incite violence against innocent doctors,security gaurds and whoever doesnt believe in their bible thumping family morals. Did you notice that they dont practice what they preach? Remember when repugs and wingnuts on fox used to say if you dont support president bush or you say anything against bush and his polocies then you are unamerican. So lets see, six months into President Obamas presidency fox and the repugs havent said one positive thing or supported him in any way.
    I apologize for ranting fellow TP,ers . When I see or hear anything about billdo and his fellow talking dooshbags on fox it makes my blood pressure skyrocket.Thanks for the release.


  53. whirlaway says:

    Yes, courage. A lot of it.

    That explains why O’Reilly, like so many of his friends (Limbaugh, DeLay, Cheney, GW Bush, Buchanan… etc. etc.) volunteered to go fight in Vietnam!


  54. Winski says:

    Ah yes…Tony Perkins and Billo the clown…birds of a feather..Is Billo gonna stop a Limberger’s place while he’s down with Perkins in Fla. for a drug party??

    WHO CARES !!!!

    Classic example of another Tony Perkins touches it and it turns to crap program…what morons…


  55. Wiz says:

    The ratings at Fox are due to the right wing nuts be in mortal fear that their political philosopy is dead or near dead, and they need constant reassurance that is provided by Fox. So they watch Fox obsessively. The election of a black guy as president has shaken the to the core. Like a wounded animal, this make them dangerous.

    Yawn.

    Just another circle jerk award for Reich-wingers.

    I can see orielly getting an award for lying and actually believing his own lies. How about an award for pure stupidity.
    Billdo has said some pretty outragous things. He said one the other day.I think it was about statistics show that people in canada live longer. I dont really remember the details,but it was ridiculous. Does anyone remember what he said about that? I could use a good laugh right now.


  65. researcher says:

    christianity died on the cross

    who did jesus have the most problems with in his time on earth

    religious nut jobs ie wingnuts

    if jesus came back and preached the same sermons the religious nut jobs would reject him or worst.

    this is common for follwers of a spiritual master to screw things up. ie common practice

    as mark twain stated god made man in his image and then man returned the favor.

    these religious nut jobs have made their god in their image.

    after all their god is a god of anger and their god has chosen people

    and the only ones going to heaven you guessed it: them.

    they are even comfortable with 2/3 of the world going to hell for eternity while they are in heaven.

    new soul thing.


  66. ais1956 says:

    The Nazis banned abortion and so did Stalin.
    Politially, opposition to abortion has nothing to do with protecting human life, it has everything to do with controling women. Women were expected to produce good soldiers for the army and good workers for the factories.
    The feminist Gloria Steinem correctly points out that “powerful men like to place restrictions on abortion because it is a means of controlling women”.
    I don’t know about Stalin’s attitude toward women but I have read that Hitler’s attitude towards women was “children church kitchen”. It sounds much better in German! but I can’t remember the original.

    Soooooooooo… when FRC President Tony Perkins present O’rally w/ this ever-so-prestigious award, do you think they’ll have someone read excerpts from Bildo’s novel?

    “Say baby, put down that pipe and get my pipe up,”

    Or…

    “Cup your hands under your breasts and hold them for ten seconds,”

    And, finally…

    “Cunnilingus involves the lips and tongue.”


  72. Levi the Dungbeetle says:

    When you create a fascist crime syndicate like the C-street gang, you use propaganda to control the masses. It stands to reason that one branch of the crime syndicate would support another branch, to lend it credibility.

    The fascist theocratic Republicans have decided to keep the propaganda volume turned up because they still believe it will somehow restore them to political power. They know O’Reilly needs all the accolades he can get because he is under constant assault for his propagandizing, so they give him meaningless awards.

    The Republicans become more dangerous every day.


  73. pete says:

    Nothing says “courage” like paying $7 million dollars to keep a sexual harassment suit out of court.

    I think they should give Scooter an award as well.


  75. Spencer's mom says:

    Well, Rick Warren (author of “The Profit Driven Life) awarded King George with some phony “peace medal” last year. I guess to honor Bush for starting two unnecessary and illegal wars that killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of innocent people. Or maybe it was for Gitmo and Abu Ghraib.

    Now Pussy O’Bildo receives a “media courage award” from FRC’s Tony Perkins? What, no “moral superiority award” for settling a sexual harrassment suit with a subordinate?

    Oh, the irony and hypocrisy.

    If some religious leader decides to bestow on YOU the “brain trust medal of honor”, it’s a pretty safe bet that, in reality, you’re an idiot!

  82. dasm says:

    Sort of like the KKK honoring someone for being a Republican.


  83. The Moderate Squad says:

    It’s the first-ever Media Courage Award. Since the Family Research Council is so fond of irony, maybe next year they can give Mark Sanford their first-ever Fidelity Award, or the Perserverance Award for Sarah Palin, or Miss Congeniality to Michelle Bachman, or…

    Yeah, this could go on all night

    O’Really? is the quintessential media coward! Remember how courageous he was in the face of that mean-spirited hulk of a man Jeremy Glick? I live in constant fear of having my mic cut!

Just ask Lee Atwater! The FRC isn’t a credible organization anyway. Who cares what they say about O’Really?


  87. Xisithrus says:

    heh, thats funny, I forgot how free speech courageous Bill loves to cut peoples mic.


  88. pete says:

    Oh! Crap.

    I just realized that Bill0 will now spend the rest of his career proclaiming that he’s the “most courageous man in news“. It will make no difference that the facts clearly indicate he’s not courageous, not in news, and isn’t much of a man.


  89. chingebush says:

    This man defended a murderer, and that is courageous? Where do these sick fcks come from?

    In honor of all the fetus’ that would have been born dead, or brainless, or with no heart or stomach, that will now be born instead of aborted, I would like to present Billo with my personal salute to his courage.

  95. MapleStreet says:

    O’Reilly bloviates words that he knows will work up the base and therefore get him a continued audience. (Plus I really suspect that he isn’t dumb enough to believe what he says, but sells himself to get the big corporate bucks.

    How is that courage ?

  102. flex says:

    O’Reilly is a lying, cowardly, hate mongering right wing extremist who is trying to destroy our Democracy and individual Freedoms. He is a danger to our society.

    “I am more concerned about the danger he and others like him represent to a civil and peaceful society. He sets a harmful example of acceptable public behavior. He has been an influence on the most worrying trend in the field of news: The polarization of opinion, the elevation of emotional temperature, the predictability of two of the leading cable news channels. A majority of cable news viewers now get their news slanted one way or the other by angry men.”

    Ah, yes, Nonreality Check, a visitor from that other species, homo insania!

    Wow!! It’s been a very very long time since I would even use the words “Media” and “Courage” in the same sentence, much less make them into an award. Not to nitpick, but do either of those two words apply to Billo?? Me thinks not.

    If you want to listen to Bill O’Reilly you have to have some level of intelligence, unlike those listening to nutcases like that Rachet Maddow, and her ilk.


  116. delafield says:

    I wish they would release the recording of Bill O’Reilly mastubating while sexually harassing his coworker on the telephone.

    One of these days O’Reilly, hopefully soon.

    You’re right. It takes a certain level of intelligence to recite catchphrases and taglines day in and day out when talking about “the news” … Has anyone mentioned yet that O’R and all of those FOX people have never claimed to be journalists, namely because theyre not, and pride themselves in being COMMENTATORS… so to assume that you have to be intelligent to listen to and agree with someone ELSE’S opinion is ludicrous. How about you try forming your own if youre so smart?

    Truth teller . . . . this is supposed to be a joke – right !


  119. The Shadow says:

    Someone needs to take that award and shove it up Bill Orally’s azz as far as they can get it. This jerk is no hero, in fact he’s nothing but a oversized sexually perverted nitwit who looks down his ugly nose at others and uses his stupid show to push a rightwing neo nazi agenda. Heil Fox News! Heil Sicko O’Rielly! Sick Frickin Nazi Blowhard jerks!

    Demonizing people is a cowardly act and not, I say, courageous.


  122. EugeneDebs says:

    RealityPUNK. You worthless piece of filth. Just wanted you to know I opened your sewered post just to give it an extra slapdown and didnt even THINK about reading it. What a stupid punkass troll you are.


  123. EugeneDebs says:

    Just kill yourself realityPunk. The world will be just that much sweeter a place to be when you finally do the only thing you can do to contribute to it. Just go into the next room and do the right thing


  124. Rodeskawler says:

    How much courage does it take to make millions lying to people?


  125. EugeneDebs says:

    Baloney says:

    HA, HA, are you REALLY stupid enough to believe that tripe? REALLY? I mean there are some ignorant trolls here but crowing about how much intelligence it takes for morons like you to get brainwashed is really rasing the imbecile bar.


  126. wizard2000 says:

    Liars are always cowards, and Bill O’Reilly is definitely a liar.


  127. LizCoro says:

    ‘FIRST EVER’ award, yes, let’s think of something to give the hypocrite, PIG . .

    Not my ‘family values’ . .

    Mackris v. O’Reilly

    para. 54
    [April 13, 2004] “If any woman ever breathed a word I’ll make her pay so dearly that she’ll wish shed never been born. I’ll rake her through the mud, bring up things in her life and make her so miserable that she’ll be destroyed. And besides, she wouldn’t be able to afford the lawyers I can or endure it financially as long as I can. And nobody would believe her, it’d be her word against mine and who are they going to believe? Me or some unstable woman making outrageous accusations. They’d see her as some psycho, someone unstable. Besides, I’d never make the mistake of picking unstable girls like that.”


  128. Bones AK says:

    He really should get a darwin award instead
