Bill-O has won more than a few satricial "Worst Person in the World" nods from Keith Olbermann (go, Keith!). And it's so obvious why. With has hand wanting to go in chronic nazi salute, he simultaneously thinks everyone else is rooted right in the Third Reich. Threatening and intimidating anyone and everyone who disagrees, the man has really out-Hannityied Hannity. It's a real back-to-back hell-fire on FAUX News's weeknight lineup. And they think progressives are brown shirts???????? Bill-O spends far too much time listening to his inner Strangelove.
Now comes Bill-O to allege that progressive blog readers are devil worshipers. That's right. I kid you not. It's downright apoplexy unhinged. Read about it it here.
Here's Bill-O's defammatory talk about progressive bloggers:
On Fox News yesterday, Bill O'Reilly let loose on "far-left websites" like DailyKos, stating, "If you read these far-left websites, you're a devil worshipper. You are." O'Reilly's ombudsman responded, "As a journalist, you know better than that." O'Reilly shot back: "Satan is running the DailyKos. Yes, he is!"
If he spent less time trying to ruin people or encouraging freeper attacks on those simply asserting their First Amendment rights America and the world would be better off.
Bill-O seems to think that only his minions, and not the rest of us, have Constitutional protections.
O'Liely must not have read a real history book from cover to cover. And it makes you wonder how he got his Harvard degree. It does make you wonder whether celebrity guarantees a separate Harvard track (ie free ride)from other Harvard students. Come to think of it, he's in good company with W. sporting an MBA from HU. I wonder how he got that?
About now, I am wanting to conjure up "Elaine" from Seinfeld when she did her little devil parody to boyfriend,Putty. But, seriously, this guy is the real extremist. And he sucks the oxygen out of the public airwaves (on radio and TV) for hours each weekday. As the above link shows, what pitiful excuse for a FAUX ombudsperson in the clip needs to do more than smile at his excesses, or suggest BO doesn't really believe what he is saying. Of course, BO is trying to push our buttons. But it is most clearly NOT satire, as he pretends.
Over at Olbermann's Countdown, however, you can clearly tell when Keith uses satire, or not. You know by accompanying gothic music and his feining a cavernous voice from the tombs. The wadding up and tossing his script page is the final clue. But other than a red neck, BO is clearly just agitated and angry. You've got to wonder about his BP. And I don't mean British (or "Beyond")Petroleum.
However, any way you look at it, over and over again, BO goes way too far. He's bad for America. He's even bad for FAUX. And that's really bad.

A sample of Dershowitz's swordsmanship:
O'Reilly also purports to teach about morality and responsibility. He complains about secret legal settlements "in which no one admits any 'wrongdoing' in the matter." You mean, like the one he entered into with Andrea Mackris, one of his former Fox News producers, after she filed a lawsuit accusing him of harassing her with sexually explicit phone calls and of threatening that she would be "destroyed" if she "ever breathed a word" about it? This is the same Bill O'Reilly who tells kids that "any kind of bullying is a bad thing." O'Reilly bought Mackris's silence with a confidential settlement in which no one admitted any wrongdoing and in which the tape of his alleged telephonic harassments and threats was suppressed.
The closing was great:
This book is so riddled with errors, inconsistencies, bad advice and hypocrisy that by O'Reilly's own standards -- we must not "leave children exposed to harm" -- it should be placed in the adults-only section of the bookstore. Or better yet, with the joke books.
