Bill O'Reilly plays the Nazi card

[Ian David]

You're Either With Us, Or You're An "N" Word. The Last Vestige Of Decency Has Flown O'Reilly's Coop

This past week, the cable embodiment of Joe McCarthy went off the deep end. Spending 24/7 teetering on the precipitous edge of decency makes the fall into a vile swamp of your own making inevitable. When you're Bill O'Reilly, you wonder what took so long.

Last week, running out of blustering hyperbole with which to brand his regular scapegoats, Bill went to the Nazi card. Loons, morons, pinheads, ones who want America to lose, and worst of all, secular progressives™, no longer held the necessary acidity to paint a grim picture of his hated antagonists. Hazarding a bit of amateur psychoanalysis, the picture may be less a picture of an adversary than a portrait of Bill's own soul, sold long ago to the highest and darkest bidder.


Today, it would seem the worst name you can call anyone is "Nazi." In the fifties, it was "Communist." Before that, it was a close call between "Redcoat" and "fatso." Calling someone a "Nazi" is meant to cheapen one's sense of American values, political or otherwise. The sordid baggage collecting with the N-word smear is anti-Semitism to the point of exterminating a race. Fuhrer-like book burner and rights-denier follows closely.

So not to misunderstand his blatant bile, Bill will go on to explain that when he calls you a Nazi, he doesn't mean you are actually a Nazi; only that you use Nazi tactics. You know. Like when you call someone a rapist, you don't mean they're a rapist; only that they use rapist's tactics. That's so, when he's holding a knife to your throat while he forces you to have sex, you don't think he's that bad a guy.

Oh, Bill's used the Nazi name-calling before, but this past week it seemed like he had nothing else left in his quiver of sophomoric blasphemes. Of the many on the hit list were George Soros, Mediamatters.org, The New York Times and Peter Lewis. The nazification of Soros, a Hungarian Jew who himself escaped the real Nazi killing camps is probably the most shameful of them all. Vomit-inducing, really.

5. I managed to interpret the title as meaning that he was asking for special consideration on the

grounds that he's a Nazi! And was very curious!

Oh well, there are some right-wingers who could almost do that.

8. And by the way I get furious at the Right's vilification of Soros

He has done a lot of good work with regard to educational projects for Eastern Europaeans - I have known several people who were able to travel for educational purposes on grants from the Soros foundation; and they and their countries have benefited enormously!

I doubt that the right-wingers who attack him have done anything as constructive.
