William James O’Reilly, Jr. Quotes

• [His advice to the youth of America] Young pinheads: work hard, be honest, get off the internet, travel as much as you can, find your passion, find out what your good at: make money doing it.
• [on the inspiration for the book “Killing Jesus”]I’m not the chosen one, I’m just one of many who’ve been given gifts. I can write and I can bloviate on TV. So I’m trying to use the gifts in a positive way. And I believe that’s all directed and that’s why I’m here on the planet.
• All of the ideas come to me in the middle of the night, and one night I just woke up and I went “Killing Jesus”. And I believe, because I’m a Catholic, that comes from the Holy Spirit. My inspiration comes from that and so I wrote “Killing Jesus” because I think I was directed to write that.
• I knew Howard [Stern], because he was the only guy in [Boston University] taller than me. And he has a big ‘fro. He was always stoned. When I was walking around, I would go, “Oh, there is Howard,” you know? We, of course, didn’t know he was going to be a big media star, we just hoped he could get to the bathroom. I know what it took for Howard Stern to become successful, because he is like me. No uncle in the business, had to work his way up, cut through a whole bunch of BS. And I admire that. Would I do what he does? No. Do I object to what he does? No.
• (On the on-going feud with his Fox News competitor, Keith Olbermann, on MSNBC) There is no feud! I’ve never mentioned the man’s name in my life and I will never mention it! There is no feud! There is no nemesis!
• I’ve said ‘shut up’ six times in 12 years and they all deserved it. They were either bloviating, filibustering or lying.
• [His impression of Harvard University] Well, the faculty at the Kennedy School of Government was pretty good when I was there. The most interesting class I had was ‘Persuasion’, and I use a lot of the points I learned there on the air to try to get people to listen to you so they understand it.
• What’s the difference between the KKK and Arianna Huffington? What’s the difference? I don’t see any difference between Huffington and the Nazis.
• The Soros-Lewis mob despises Fox News because we have their number and we report on them accurately. They use the MoveOn web site to smear this network and others with whom they disagree. These people use techniques perfected by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of information. They lie, distort, defame, all the time. So it’s not surprising that MoveOn objected to a debate sponsored by Fox News and the Nevada Democratic Party.
• Joseph Goebbels was the Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi regime and whose very famous quote was, “If you tell a lie long enough, it becomes the truth.” All right? “If you tell a lie long enough, it becomes the truth.” And that’s what Stuart Smalley and Michael Moore and all of these guys do. They just run around.
• When I am dead, my tombstone will read, ‘He finally stopped talking.’
• Because look … when 2 percent of the population feels that you’re doing them a favor, just forget it, you’re not going to win. You’re not going to win. And I don’t have any respect by and large for the Iraqi people at all. I have no respect for them. I think that they’re a prehistoric group that is — yeah, there’s excuses.
• If you get to be as smart and as talented as me, you’ll have a show. That won’t happen.
• My thesis, you may know, is that nobody should ever talk about their sexuality in any – in any regard ever. You should not define yourself that way. It just makes life a lot rougher. So, therefore, I would probably say, if you’re a gay celebrity, shut up about it.
• My father didn’t tell me anything. My father just said: ‘Shut up. Eat your food. There are people starving in Korea,’ but he didn’t – he didn’t offer a lot of career counseling, but he never discouraged me.
• Does anyone know where the Best Men are? I hope they’re not in the parking lot stealing our hubcaps.
• We’d save lives because Mexicans, “wetbacks”- whatever you want to call them-, the coyotes – they’re not going to do what they’re doing now, so people aren’t going to die in the desert. So we save lives, all right, and we seal it down and make it one hundred times harder to come across.
• Generally speaking, the elite media believe that the majority in this country — white Christian Americans — are prone to oppressing the minority. The elites rightfully point to the civil rights struggle as an example of how the majority can hurt a minority until the forces of reason stepped in.
• And the elites firmly believe that not much has changed in 40 years; that white Christian-Americans must be kept in check, or they will violate minority rights.
