Wow, Colbert just owned O'Reilly!!


I don't have cable so rarely get to see O'reilly but this was a thing of beauty

Colbert just asked him a couple direct questions about the Orlando attack, let Oreilly run his big fat mouth and Colbert completely painted him into a corner, even at times repeating back the words Oreilly had just said.

The first time Colbert cornered him, O'reilly looked almost panicked, the 2nd or 3rd time Oreilly started to get pissed, looked like his face was turning red

O'reilly then tried to filibuster his way out of the rest of the segment, but it still didn't go well for him, Colbert was still using him as a punching bag

I also noticed that when the audience disagrees with him, O'reilly cannot handle it at all, and uhhh... does not respond well to it!

Don't have a link but before long it should show up on YT or the CBS website, I highly recommend checking it out

always. Hell, for 2-3 years, nobody on the right realized that Colbert was punking O'Lielly every night. They couldn't recognize the parody for what it was.

They can only win the argument by eliminating the voice of their opponents.

Either that or let people with poor reasoning skills be the judges. Kinda like Trump's supporters.

I remember one time he was on Letterman, and Letterman was pretty much using him as a punching bag, and you could tell O'Reilly was feeling out of his element because his right leg was rapidly tapping non-stop.

lied his way through the whole interview, so many lies (i.e. we’ll get Nato to attack ISIS wherever they are) I barely could take it.. Colbert was way too gracious, even though I realize he’s respected for his intelligence and knowledge concerning so many issues, however Bill just talked over him for the whole interview,Lawrence O’donnell is the type of guy who is needed to shut him up..

I cut my cable several years ago so I never watch broadcast TV anymore. It's remarkably freeing but then I miss good stuff like this. I appreciate your taking the time to make these available.

guess he's not getting any flack from the network because he was openly mocking Trump last night - swastikas and all. Even suggested he was on meds and doesn't take them.
