Just saw a repeat of "Countdown with Olberman, he slams O'Reilly

[liberal72]

Mentions the Eric Alterman lawsuit and tells him, "Be careful Billy boy this is how McCarthy's wheels srarted to come off the track." Also introduced as the man who thought he was so important he prempted the lying in state of Reagon. It was great.

1. I'm so lost...

Due to some personal things as well as taking a haitus during the Reagasm week, I'm not up on things. What's with the Alterman lawsuit?

[liberal72]

2. O'Reilly called Alterman another Castro or a socialist

and Alterman is suing him for, that's right, slander or something. O'Reilly already had to apologize to Molly Ivins for calling her a socialist and now he is calling Franken, Michael Moore Nazis. Go to www.mediamatters.org to learn more about the Nazi thing.

Edit: sorry, org instead of com

3. O'Reilly like the rest of RW is coming unhinged big-time

Their defeat this year is essential.

But they still have zombie flag-sucking followers, and they still have the media, and more money...

God, I hope we can beat these fuckers.

5. Woo Hoo!!! GO ERIC!!!

Isn't it great when polemicists like O'Reilly get taken to task for their attacks and actions? It's ironic that not long ago the right was attacking us for references to Hitler/Nazi/Germany and now it seems that's all I'm seeing and hearing from the other side of the political spectrum.

7. I Hear O'Reilly Demanded Not To Be Pre-Empted...

Not sure which show it was mentioned on today that he threw a hissy-fit so they didn't pre-empt his spinfest for more Raygasming. I'll bet that went over real well in Ailesville.

Then there's the excerpt Scarborough showed last night of O'Reilly at the premier of Fahrenheit 911...pretending he was waiting in line to see Shrek II...Joey boy slam him...and this is supposed to be a "brother in arms".

O'Reilly appears to be slipping further and further into Howard Beale hell. Honestly, he looks like he's so obsessed with his video image that he's willing to self destruct in front of all of us without realizing he's doing it. What makes this dangerous is this moron still has a large viewing and listening audience and a good portion take his rantings seriously.

We're seeing a right wing media that is so conflicted and still feels they can do no wrong. Remember, this is the mindset of absolutes and these people feel they have the absolute absolutes...and throw in some ego for good measure and let's get some popcorn, there's gonna be some good viewing up ahead.
