Brad,
My deepest sympathies in your not making the list - Keep trying though, it looks like he plans to enlarge it in the future!
LOL

Dear Santa, I've been good all year. All I want for XMas is to make O'Reilly's Enemies List. Thanks, Santa.

The man has a lot of ego. Who does he think he is, Nixon? I mean, if you want to have an enemies list then you really need to piss off a LOT of people. O'Reilly is hardly known. Also, if you're going to have an enemies list you should at least have a long one. That shows you're really important. His is pathetic, just like him.

Making Nixon's enemies list was a badge of honor.
Making O'Reilly's... it's not even a badge of humor.

I personally emailed him and asked him if he would consider adding me to his prestigious list in addition to the ones that are already destroying our freedoms.
I closed the email out with "Happy Holidays." That must piss him off. If he replies, I will post the response to my site.
I hope he adds me, it would be great.
I think all bloggers will be listed eventually.

Are you telling me that the "6 or 7" that consistently point out his hatred, misguided ramblings, and just plain rank diatribes are not on his list?
For shame for shame ... he does not know where the fire is ... O'Really? is a legend in his own mind.

Haha...poor, old impotent O'Reilly.
After mentioning he was going to start his enemies list, people laughed and practically dared him to do it. So he had no choice but to do it or look like a windbag wuss.
But people with a brain know that by listing the sites of people who expose his lies, smears, and falsehoods he is giving them the chance to further their audience. So he has no choice but to put up an embarassing, weak list like this and then offer no explanation or proof to back his claims. this way his zombie listeners don't have to do any critical thinking. They can just say that O'Reilly said they are bad so I will say it too.

Arianna Huffington has pledged to hand deliver a list of everyone who asks to be included on the enemies list to O'Reilly personally. It's easy to sign up; if a technophobe like me can do it, anyone can. Just go to Huffingtonpost.com and register.

"smear merchant and alleged sex offender"?
I hope this was intended to be ironic - until he's convicted couldn't we try to avoid smearing the smearer? I'd feel dirty stooping to his level.

You can tell guys who are struggling to smile. O'Reilly probably had to take a nap after smiling for this picture.
WOW! He looks like he's struggling to smile! HOLY SHIT! Is that picture doctored up?
It looks like one of those "evil" smiles...if there was audio on this picture, it would be the evil laugh, "MOO HOO HAHAHAHAHAHAHA".....

That isn't a smile. That's a Bushesque smirk. The subtext is, "There goes another pathetic liberal."
The best way to deal with O'Reilly is to expose his lies (also the best way to deal with Bush). Not with name-calling with facts. O'Reilly once wrote that he grew up in Levittown on Long Island, a middle-class community. In fact, he grew up in Westbury, a wealthy enclave. When caught (by Michael Moore) in the lie, his answer was "I lived in the Levittown section of Westbury."
There's no such thing as a Levittown section of Westbury, any more than there's a Hempstead section of Garden City or a Hicksville section of Syosset. O'Reilly was clearly trying to portray himself as a regular Joe from middle-class roots, when he was really a child of privilege. In this sense O'Reilly was trying to copy Bush, a spoiled brat from Greenwich who became a Texas cowboy.
