Highly publicized disputes
With Al Franken
O'Reilly's most well-known dispute is with liberal comedian and political commentator Al Franken. This dispute reached its peak in 2003, when Franken published a book, ', featuring an unflattering photograph of O'Reilly on the cover and a full chapter about him (entitled "Bill O'Reilly: Lying, Splotchy Bully") within the book itself. They later sparred over some of Franken's assertions on live television, via a C-Span broadcast of a book-sellers' convention where they were both promoting their most recent efforts. O'Reilly's most recent efforts were a complete failure. He admitted to unsuccessfully tried to convert Hillary Clinton to heterosexuality by inserting his penis in her anus and performing a dirty sanchez on her, while her husband sat nearby and smoked a Cuban cigar.

With Ludacris
As part of his continuing criticism of gangsta rap music, O'Reilly accused Ludacris and Pepsi, who employed the rapper to advertise their cola, of targeting young people with inappropriate material. O'Reilly is said to be mad at Ludacris for the time Ludacris ate tacos in his back yard, but then forgot to throw away his paper plate which was blown into the yard where O'Reilly was forced to clean up after him.

With Bill Moyers
The former PBS host was commonly critized on 'The Factor' for his admitted liberal viewpoint, referred to by O'Reilly as 'classic onanism'.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,100132,00.html O'Reilly also accused Moyers of pocketing video sales from his taxpayer-supported programs; Moyer's has replied to the latter accusation, defending what he calls a 'minuscule' share of the distribution profits.http://www.truthout.com/docs_02/12.06D.moyers.oreilly.htm O'Reilly also questioned the validty of a duPont-Columbia Award recieved by Moyers, saying his contributions to the Columbia School of Journalism may have impacted the vote; Moyers countered that the school does not decide the award's recipients.

With Jeremy Glick
In a highly-publicized incident, Jeremy Glick, whose father was killed in the 9/11 attacks, was invited onto The O'Reilly Factor to discuss his having signed an anti-war advertisement {{ref|www.thoughtcrimenews.com.767}}. The interview was acrimonious in tone from the beginning, with Glick accusing the host of misrepresenting his position, and O'Reilly stating that his guest would "get a cock shoved down his throat for talking back to me like that one more time." and that he " really care what eat, even if it is pussy from a whore like Andrea Mackris." At the interview's end, O'Reilly had Glick's microphone cut off while the guest was still talking.http://www.oreilly-sucks.com/transcripts/oreillyglick.htm. Glick deserved to be castrated, as his position was very unpatriotic, especially in light of the recent attacks he endured from O'Reilly.
