O'Reilly's Storied Temper Goes Viral

(May 12) -- If you thought Bill O'Reilly has the tendency to snap on camera on his Fox News show, wait until you see some vintage footage of the boisterous host from his pre-'Factor' days.

O'Reilly Loses It

WARNING: Video Contains Explicit Language

The footage is from O'Reilly's days as a reporter on 'Inside Edition,' where he worked from 1988-1995. In it, O'Reilly is reading a promo for the show, when he begins to get irritated over teleprompter problems. He goes back and forth with a producer, switching from lip-biting to flat-out screaming and cursing by the end. There's no date given on the video to indicate what year it was filmed.

O'Reilly's temper has been somewhat of a trademark for him through the years, especially on his Fox News show 'The O'Reilly Factor.' On the show, O'Reilly often gets into yelling matches with guests, sometimes resulting in him shutting off their microphones and asking them to leave.

We are all Americans people. the only ones who really benefit from all this policticing is those politicians themselves.

They can afford $5 gas, they are on "tax paid" salaries, while John Q Public suffers.

Compare a raving lunatic like O'Reilly to Walter Cronkite, Harry Reasoner, Huntley and Brinkley, Edward R. Murrow, or anyone else in the "old days" who believed in just giving facts and not telling people what to think. As opposed to giving few facts or lies and telling people what to think. No wonder a study of people watching Fox News showed they knew less than people who watch no news at all!

When a Democrate wins an election it is stolen by the liberal neo's

No kindsleezy rice took a manditory leave of absence like ded eye dick did from halliburton and all those other liberal neo con ultra con no bid contract welfare companies and are moving to the middle east to escape paying US taxes on US dollars liberally given them. Do any of you neocon's or ultracon's ever wonder why your fox and friends propagandist o'reilly is getting so made lately and rush is rushing to illegal prescription drugs. The busch hockey has been sown in the crawford ranch pasture fields and the grass of truth is starting to grow over it. By the way, I rarely watch your corporate propaganda show fox, but what is the color code for fear they have told you to be today? You wont know to play chicken little or how to act unless you know will you?

O'reilly is a pinhead. If you can't see it, you're a pinhead too.

Report This! Dont worry GOPiggetts, you will have another neocon in the White House to obey. John McCain will make it 3 stolen elections in a row and place America under unpatriotic act #12, or another prefabricated 9-11 on a larger scale happen before Nov. and heil jr. and Karl Rove will declare martial law on America and the heirarchy continue. You recond that is what the ultra con's are praying for? Where was pat robbernson when Tx. had their natural disasters the other day. Was that not the rath of GOD on an evil state like he proclaimed Katrina evil on Lousianna.

3 stolen elections?!?!?!? Let me guess when a Democrat is elected the American people have spoken, right? But when a Republican is elected, they cheated? Got an idea for you. Instead of throwing away the military vote away, like Al Bore did in Florida. Maybe next time, keep it. Your party might be able to pick up some votes. But knowing how the military hates Dems. I wouldnt c
