Take the Bill O'Reilly Hate Tour
Poor Bill O'Reilly.
The Yearly Kos convention has him apoplectic and he has his gofers grubbing around looking for any piece of dirt with which to smear the unrelated Daily Kos web site. But for high-profile coarsening of public discourse, there are few, maybe none who can match the bile and bullying of Bill O'Reilly. Dave Neiwert gives us a brief run down.
And it's really worth your time to take a look at the the nasty things he said to one of his producers who sued him for sexual harrassment in 2004.
Over at Daily Kos, Hunter has a discussion of Mr. O'Reilly's gutter standards with lots of links to sources. Here is a sample:
O'Reilly is desperate. Everyone is standing up to him. And no one is afraid.

I'd like to point a few things out here. First, myspace.com, also owned by News Corp, just purged 29,000 convicted sex offenders from their site. That's more rapists, pedophiles, and sexual predators on a single Rupert Murdoch site then total trolls we have ever banned from ours. And yet Bill O'Reilly says nothing -- is it because, as a renowned pervert himself, he likes associating with rapists and pedophiles and sexual predators? Or is there another explanation? Bill O'Reilly's own site contains language threatening violence against Democratic leaders and presidential candidates -- and not only did he _not_ remove that language when it was pointed out, but pointing it out apparently was the far worse violation. And then he lied about it, yet again, on his own program. Is it because Bill O'Reilly is _comfortable_ with violent threats against Democrats? Perhaps he is, given his history.
O'REILLY: You know, if I'm the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, "Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead.
And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.

Hmmmm, "O'Reilly is desperate. Everyone is standing up to him. And no one is afraid." --- Well, I am an old crone with an enormous crush on Keith Olbermann, so was very pleased a few weeks ago to read that both MSNBC and Keith O. were gaining on Dimbulb Bill in the ratings.... Even so I still will never understand that fool's popularity (O'Reilly).
To my way to thinking all it means is that the misguided people who think O'Reilly is the cat's meow have never listened to any cable news talker with loads more functioning brain cells than Dimbulb can hope to count on....
One has to wonder if the naivé rightwingnuts who hang onto O'Reilly's words (mostly lies) have ever absorbed the opinions of an intelligent broadcaster? Like my cute li'l Keith O.? LOL
Well then, I'll say Goodbye now, nothing very earthshaking in this comment, for sure! Oh BTW, the word "eclectic" (used on your sidebar) is still mis-spelled.
