It was a packed night for Bill O’Reilly on The O’Reilly Factor: first he welcomed Rep. Charles Rangel, fresh off several ethics convictions, on the program (more on that later), and later spoke to Barbara Walters, promoting her “10 Most Fascinating people of 2010″ special. Chief among the topics of discussion: Walters’ recent interview with Oprah Winfrey; specifically, Oprah’s emotional discussion of her own sexual orientation.

Walter told O’Reilly she thought her questioning of Oprah was appropriate, and also said she wouldn’t ask anyone about their sexual orientation if she thought they were trying to keep it a secret (to which O’Reilly responded: “Am I gay?”), and only brought it up because Oprah mentioned her relationships with both best friend Gayle King and significant other Stedman Graham. O’Reilly, though, didn’t like her line of questioning, and didn’t think anyone should be forced to answer such questions (Walters, for her part, didn’t think Oprah was forced to answer anything).

O’Reilly also wondered why some of the “pinheads” on Walters’ “Most Fascinating” list – the cast of Jersey Shore, especially – were so fascinating, anyway. Of course, the topic of Sarah Palin came up, and while Walters resisted the notion that Palin simply made the list as a token conservative, O’Reilly had a bigger question: “You didn’t ask her if she’s a lesbian, though, did you?” He was really proud of that crack, while Walters just said, “Stop giving me a hard time, Billy.” There’s no denying O’Reilly and Walters have an amusing rapport, and it certainly went way, way better than this. Video of their exchange, via Fox News, below.

Oh you guys are just jealous. MSNBC has the same old tired liberal bloggers on night after night. O’Reilly gets A list personalities and you guys can’t stand it. O’Reilly was very funny tonight. Olbermann was very angry tonight. Get the difference? Besides 4 million viewer difference.

““You didn’t ask her if she’s a lesbian, though, did you?” ”

Ummm…Palin is married with children and every woman who has gotten close to her has written a book about what a crazy bitch she is. Besides, most lesbians are liberal because conservatives are homophobic. Not to mention the fact she’s a fundie.

Dat don’t sound like no lesbian to me! Got it now, Bill?

Anyway, the reason Bill always gets so peeved about questioning peoples sex lives is because his has proven to be so sordid.

He does have a Lady Gaga fetish. It’s kinda creepy, him mentioning her all the time.

Sorry Bill, she thinks your scum.

Except for the part when Ingraham was on (i tuned over to Isles-Bruins) it was a pretty solid show tonight. And the ratings don’t lie. Bill is number one. Don’t like it? Then put together a show that will knock him off and stop being a bunch of whiny babies.

My favorite part is when Bill called Baa Waa an entertainment journalist. That was pretty funny. I don’t think she appreciated it too much.

Did Barbara ask if Bill O’Reily was gay or a pervert?

I think they ought to have a set of questions to ask these people, such as:

1. Are you gay?
2. Have you ever had sex with a bulldyke?
3. What is worst place ya got the “squirts?”
4. Do you inhale your farts?
5. Have you every put a member of the fruit family into one of your orifices?
6. Have you ever lit someone’s head on fire?
7. Do you smile while you defecate?

The most complete and comprehensive list I have seen. Thanks for sharing!

I do think Walters was out of line in her questioning of whether Ophra is gay.

If find liberals amazing…they seem to have to get everyone labeled, placed in a box, that way other lib’s can control them …Especially the “Gays!” People make their careers out of “Outing” people they think are gay when they don’t want to be “Outed!” Walters even admitted that to O’Reilly when she press Ricky Martin…she said she crossed the line, because he did not want to be “Outed!”

For that matter I used to be “Gay” when I was a kid. But back then, it was because we were “Happy and Gay!” Then the lefties get in, take ownership of another word and if you use it in a fashion a lefty does not like…then all hell breaks loose.

Why not live and let live and encourage people to be what they want to be?

I think I’ll base my entire worldview on the fact that some people disagree with my sexual preferences. Brilliant, BFD. Just bloody brilliant.

Some of the public have called Oprah GAY this is why the question was asked of her.
