O’Reilly Compares Nevada Debate Opponents To Nazis

[CatWoman]

Tonight, Bill O’Reilly attacked the “radical movement” that opposed the Nevada Democratic Party’s debate with Fox News. O’Reilly said that MoveOn, “the Daily Kos or whatever that stupid thing is,” and others “use propaganda techniques perfected by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of information. They lie, distort, defame, all the time.” Progressive activists attack Fox News because “we report on them accurately,” O’Reilly said.

Former White House aide Lanny Davis, a close ally of Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), joined in the fray. “I’m inclined to give everybody the benefit of the doubt here except the people that are calling for cancellation of the debate because they don’t like Fox,” Davis said. “I disagree with this pressure from Daily Kos and MoveOn.org to cancel the debate, and I think anybody that took that pressure, including John Edwards ought to be ashamed of themselves.”

1. o'reilly attempts to compare himself

to a human being.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. And I compare O'Lielly

to Mortimer Snerd having a migraine--only old Mort would still be more intelligent.

3. he said.......

Progressive activists attack Fox News because “we report on them accurately,” O’Reilly said.

haha........that's funny!!

[Cabcere]

16. I laughed out loud when I heard him say that.

The funniest (or scariest?) thing is that O'Reilly actually thinks he's a journalist. :wtf: My mother is a real journalist, and I can tell you from growing up in our household that Bill O'Reilly is not even close. For him to claim that he is is an insult to real journalists everywhere.

[tulsakatz]

26. true.......he wishes he were a real journalist!

...and how he can claim to be accurate about anything is beyond me!! He's more inaccurate than accurate.........

[dogday]

4. I really don't know how he says that stuff with

a straight face..... I think he actually believes it....

[Diane R]

5. Yep. One more of Hillary's cronies piling up on one of her opponents. They're so predictable.

[Initech]

6. If I had a dollar every time I've seen someone describe something they don't like as "Nazi"...

I'd be a fucking millionaire.

Oh by the way, I am in no way, shape, or form defending the Nazi party. I'm just saying that analogy is getting a little too ridiculous.

[tandot]

7. Progressive activists attack Fox News because “we report on them accurately,”

:wow:

He is truly delusional. Anyone who thinks that Fox News reports news "accurately" needs his/her head examined.

9. But,but,but...

I thought they were Fair and Balanced !:crazy:

[Richard Steele]

13. FOX: The network that fought in the FLA Supreme Court for its "right" to knowingly broadcast LIES.

FLORIDA: the Supreme Court that declared they have that "right".

PFFT. :eyes:

8. Godwin's Law. He lost.

[Cabcere]

17. I think that may be a faulty link

Try this one:

And yes, O'Reilly definitely loses. :hi:

[stevedeshazer]

22. Whoops

Thanks

:hi:

[Cabcere]

23. No problem.

:hi:

[blondeatlast]

10. Blondeatlast compares Bill O'Reilly opponents to

really, really, smart people.

It's just that nobody cares.

What a maroon...

[Richard Steele]

11. If O'Reilly ever stopped PROJECTING for two seconds, he'd disappear forever.

It's all he has, it's all he IS.

[Crunchy Frog]

12. Hope he wins Worst "Person In The World" for that tonight.

14. The new owner of Air America Radio just challenged

faux to let them host a republic debate:

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/3/13/13358/0027


As the new president of Air America, I'd like to offer to host or co-host one of your upcoming presidential debates.

Why us? First, this would allow your debate to reach many voters. Combining our 2 million radio audience, along with our satellite, internet and web audiences, means that some 2.5 million Americans would hear or read about the debate.

Second, it would allow Republicans to differentiate themselves from Democrats – embracing a debate hosted by a progressive media outlet after Nevada Democrats canceled a debate scheduled to be hosted by the conservative Fox Cable News Channel. The MoveOn organization spurred 265,000 people to complain about the original plan, calling Fox a “mouthpiece for the Republican Party.” In reply, Fox’s Mort Kondracke called the Nevada Democratic Party's rejection of Fox a “Stalinist” violation of “free speech and free debate.” So should you accept Air America's offer, Republicans would both embrace free debate and stick it to Stalin at the same time.

Third, our offer permits you to include any other national media company as a co-host -- like Fox. For example, a panel with Fox representing the conservative viewpoint and Air America the progressive viewpoint would make for a very "fair and balanced" debate -- not to mention that Fox's viewers per evening are coincidentally comparable to our 2.5 million listeners, meaning that several million unique people would hear your debate (assuming next to no overlap between our two disparate audiences).

We would be honored not only to co-host such an event; but also to broadcast it live without commercial interruption on the day that you choose.

I look forward to your response and to working with you on this important event.

Yours,

Mark Green
President, Air America Radio

19. hmmm...can Stephanie and Randi ask the questions?

And can Stephanie bring her sound effects machine along?
:rofl:

15. I'd like to see what you guys think of Bill Maher's opinion of the situation

KING: The Democrats have pulled out of the Fox debate.

MAHER: Well, and this is why she has a point.

They're pussies, OK?

Do you remember when Bill Clinton went on with Chris Wallace a few months ago?

KING: Yes.

MAHER: And he showed everybody in that Democratic Party how it should be done.

KING: Get mad.

MAHER: He took on Chris Wallace.

These guys were like oh, no, Fox News, un-nnh, no, I'm sorry, we can't do that. We -- we didn't like the joke.

KING: Well, were they mad at a bad joke, right?

MAHER: They were made at a -- who cares what they're mad at? Instead of withdrawing, which says to everybody in the country oh, typical Democrats. They don't call people out, they just walk away. They don't raise the bet.

Go on there. It's just Chris Wallace. If you can't stand up to Chris Wallace, can you stand up to the terrorists, let alone the Republican Party?

KING: So, a mistake, in your opinion?

MAHER: Yes.

KING: OK.

MAHER: Take it to their house. Win an away game.

20. Well, as someone who thinks Clark's appearances on Faux

are better than sliced bread, I have to agree with this.

I know the knee-jerk reaction here is to hate Faux, pretend they don't exist and swat at them; however, it's a sad and simple fact that independents and even some Democrats throughout the country, particularly in the South and Mid-West watch Faux - either because they have to (it's the only news station in their parts) or because they got used to it and don't really know how biased it is.

I, personally, consider John Edwards a pandererer, anyway, so I just took his option not to participate as another attempt to pander to the left since he blew it on the war, never did anything for the poor when he was senator and so on.

Maher is an independent libertarian - we'd do well to listen to what non-Dems who might VOTE Dem have to say.

That said - yes, I hate Faux. I never watch it except to see Clark clean Insannity's clock or knock one out of the park on O'Lielly.

[CatWoman]

21. Clark

I agree with him, too.

[Parche]

18. Bill Orally

This is for you Bill Orally....................



OH MEOW

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

24. I like how he has to clarify who Goebbels was.

As if his audience didn't already know.

[Postman]

25. Fuck you Lanny Davis.

your true colors are shining through.
