Bill O’Reilly Issues Progressives A Challenge

Last night’s Talking Points on the O’Reilly Factor has to be seen to be believed:

Okay, maybe I’m mishearing things, but it sounded to me that Falafel Man just said that consumers should remind corporations not to reward bad behavior. You know, like hate speech or advocating violence against an innocent group of people?

So, does anyone have a list of FOXNews/O’Reilly’s advertisers?

Kos is giving a pony to the person who finds the “violent overthrow” diary on the homepage. C’mon, Markos, you know Billo doesn’t let something as petty as a truth or reality to get in the way of getting his secular-progressive hate on…

I’m sure the bloviator does his part to cut back on oil consumption by driving a sub compact or cycling to work.

RE: TV ratings,… Funny, I don’t watch TV. Seems like smart, creative people are out living their lives, while vapid, goose stepping sheep stay glued to Fox News so they can be told what to think.

Sorry, I can’t watch that today.

I’ve had breakfast and I want to keep it down.

Verdillac Says:

I’m sure there have been calls for Civil Disobedience, like most countries experience in times of exceptional distress, like today in the USA. I know I’ve tried to organise a General Strike in the USA, but I was ALWAYS met with “pooh,pooh, on you, the Democrats will see us through…” by everyone I communicated with. The Business of Politics is Money and Power and it doesn’t matter who you vote for (Dem or Repub)…the People will not get satisfaction…there should be an abolition of a two party system…no one political party should have more than 20% membership in Congress/Senate…that would (hopefully) allow for a more diverse political landscape.

Immigrant Says:

Will you guys actually do something about the biggest misinformer, liar and hater - Bill O’?

Let’s begin to boycott his sponsors.

Verdillac Says:

I’m just waiting to be typed down to by the “experts” who will pontificate that my ideas are patently absurd…

12
TonyTony Says:

At what point can a blog, news organization, or individual sue a “news” reporter, his show, or parent company. Often Bill O’Reily, Ann Coulture, or other right wingers will say the most blatently false things; why doesn’t anyone press legal slander or libel cases against them? Or do they?

If I call BillO and ask him to point me to the quote, will I still get the pony? This is serious. I’ve never had a pony and like Lisa Simpson, I’ve always wanted one.

For bloggers there’s no such thing as a bad hit. Thanks fathead.

This old man and all of those that fart dust while watching him are a waste of time.

konchster Says:

Daily Kos scares the shit out of Billo for some reason could it be their audience grows daily while his shrinks?
This borders on the insane as far as ideas go Maybe the overthrow of Faux Snooze

17
nemo Says:

Chances are the vast majority of those who watch him either don’t have computers, or are lost as soon as they turn on the power. Navigating the Web is very hard for many in the bracket who watch BillO religiously, so they take his claims about Web content as being Gospel. Sad, really.

Patriot Actor Says:

In his humble opinion?

He contains not an ounce of humility.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

He will have a debt to settle one day…..down at the crossroads.

nwj10 Says:

What Billo doesn’t understand is that people who want REAL news don’t look to TV.

On the other hand, he probably DOES understand this but chooses to use this reduced viewership to support his deceptive analyses.

20
Gort Says:

The power this man wields! He makes a suggestion and America goes into high gear taking up his cause. Or so he thinks! With his poor ratings and quality of his viewers – guys in their underwear eating Cheetos – he’s lucky he could find two legible emails from fans he could quote.

21
Richard Says:

And who might have ‘posted’ this comment? The process of quibbling about comments is childish as ANYONE..including BillO himself can post on that site. There is absolutely nothing stopping some winger from posting outrageous crap at KOS then pointing to it from another vantage. NOTHING!
If it is Kos that has Billo’s ire than at least he might cite Kos’s words. Kos, a USA Military Veteran, has never advocated violence. NEVER. BillO, a man that did not serve in Vietnam and lacks the courage to tell us why, has always taken a vicious tone in his debates and…I think at one time advocated the destruction of a landmark building in San Fransisco: by terrorists!
Corporations have their very existence at the pleasure of the people. They are not our masters….we are their’s.

22
Chris Says:

Once upon a time (a long time ago, I think 2001) BillO actually came off as thoughtful and intelligent but as the years passed, he became psychotic and loopy. When I compare the BillO of 2001 with the BillO of 2007 it makes me wonder if this is even the same guy.

DD Says:

Speaking of corporations O’Lielly…why not go after Wal-Mart and their Red China slave labor workforce.

Dildo O’Rly only cares about Wal-Mart when they say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”

25
mr.ed Says:

I find it interesting that he/they are advertising on MSNBC in the 5-6PM segment, and boasting that they only present “facts.”

BillO reminds me of one of those old southern baptist preachers. He tries to keep his flock intact by scaring them with wild accusations of what the “others” are doing.

Funny thing is that no one but the people who watch his show, Kos and us, even know about this little bs. The adverage person on the street knows nothing about this and cares even less.

Gros Fils Says:

I’m no lawyer but isn’t that slander/libel (he said it AND wrote it)?

Let’s hit O’Reilly where it hurts. I just fired off angry letters to the makers of Depends, Viagra and Polident.

jr Says:

Bill memory holes LGF, lucianne goldberg’s site and free republic. He has a concentration camp fangirl as a guest host. This is more culture war so he doesn’t have to talk about kids not being able to afford college, people not being able to afford health insurance and the inflation in food prices from gas and natural gas prices

Please don’t feed Billdo - he’s a troll w/a tv show.

Emerald Says:

O’Irrelevant has frequently smeared and deceived, he has often insulted and exaggerated, but this clip actually has me feeling sorry for him, in his state of insanity.

“Right-thinking Americans” are his audience…but THINKING Americans (70% of the citizenry) reject his nonsense. He may well be bright enough to see his own “professional” (I use the word generously) demise, as the folks turn away from the madness of the past 6 and a half years, and instead will expect and demand their nation adhere to its constitution.

32
Michael Says:

So one of O’Liely’s goons logs into a blog site like Kos and types a blatantly ignorant stupid post, such as “violently overthrow the government”. They then screen cap it and put it on Faux News as a “typical” left wing post, and use it to scare companies into not advertising with “left wing” causes or they will be exposed.

The GOP blocks nearly everything in the Senate for the last 6 months, and then the major corporate media goes on and on about a “do nothing” congress.

Are you all as tired of the constant spin and marketing as I am? I think it is time to break up the big media companies for monopolistic behavior.

33
Gort Says:

Why does his “Talking Points” segment always split the screen so that almost every word he reads off the teleprompter is also on the screen? Don’t they know that Bill’s audience is either illiterate or so far from the nursing home’s TV screen that they can’t make out the letters with their feeble eyesight.

Bill O’Goebbels has always supported the Bush/Cheney coup d’état of 2001. That is an already an overthrow of constitutional government.

myiq2xu Says:

He knows he’s lying and here’s how you can tell: It says “The DailyKos has a posting . . . ” Some troll or sockpuppet probably did put something like that up somewhere, and even if it was there for only a few minutes Bill -O Really? can use it to defend himself from a libel suit. If he just came out and said Kos was advocating the violent overthrow of the government he would get his ass sued and Faux News would have to pay out $$$ to Mr. Zuniga.

His boss buys out WSJ and Bildo thumps his chest.
I will continue to be an optimist about our country,however the Shadenfreude Storm Troopers that follow the likes of Bildo,Limbuagh,Hannity etc…will always be a negative drain on the emotions of our country.
“Every man should be allowed to rest in the shade of his own olive tree”…Voltaire
That should be the metaphor for a strong America, and a Federal Government that is dedicated to assisting ALL citizens to accomplish that goal.
When Bush talks about an ownership society he is refering to the accumulation of wealth of the 2% crowd, not the “every man” that Voltaire refers to.
We are falling behind the rest of the Industrialized world in Infant Mortality,Math and Science,Health Care for all citizens,Environmental Health,Pre-Natal Care, Head Start.
Do you think Bildo cares about any of that? Hell No! He gets upset when smokers are banned from smoking in Restaurants, or when a private business will not allow concealed weapons to be brought onto it’s premises….phfft! And HIS people are in the White House.
Yes I am optimistic about our country, but we are headed the wrong way and we have to turn things around,NOW!

Jeon Ji-Yung Says:

Um, how exactly did we get rid of our tyrannical British overlords back in the 1700s? Oh, right… violent overthrow. So, I believe there’s even something or other about this in our Constitution, tying into something about the right to bear arms. So BillO is anti-Second Amendment now? Fascinating.

Is there something inherently ignorant or stupid about violent overthrow of the government? If there is, we’ve pretty much invalidated ourselves as a country, as we were founded in precisely that fashion, and have carried out or assisted in countless violent overthrows of governments since then.

Looking for the relevant Thomas Jefferson quote…

Careful! You capitalized NOW. Bill O’Reeky will quote your post and claim C&L wants to overthrow the government.

If what O’Reilly says about DailyKos isn’t true, then that’s Libel.

It appears the violent overthrow was achieved several years ago without DailyKos participation.

It’s still beyond me that no one has organized a fully fledged campaign to get this nutso off the air. It looks like it’s not only Congress that’s spineless, is it?

What would Zeus do? Says:

Rather than going after the Faux News sponsors, why not generate a list of BoRe’s sponsors and concentrate on them? The impact will be higher (and more to the point).

In case you missed it, here are the previous two video segments where O’Reilly attacks DailyKOS/YearlyKOS and JetBlue. Amazing - or maybe not surprising at all… depending on how you look at it

Dr. Matt Says:

Bill-0 has just left the far far right and has entered a lone extremist partisanship that this country has never witness.

It’s still hard to believe that his mindless anti-American reich-wing views would actually consider Bill-O “fair and balanced”.

52
EJG Says:

Why doesn’t anyone sue him for slander? That might shut him up and force him to make sure the garbage spewing forth from that ugly hole in his face is something that he can prove rather than pulling stories out of a hat just to slander those who don’t agree with him.

If he is allowed to get away with his brand of hate those who sit there and do nothing to force him to be accountable are just as guilty as he is!

Hit him where it will hurt, his pocket.
