Billo Scolds Democrats For Planning To Attend YearlyKos

It’s becoming increasingly painful to watch this man’s slow descent into insanity, but hey, it’s my job…

Never one to let go of a bone, Billo continues his ridiculous gnawing on DailyKos, and its offshoot convention, YearlyKos. O’Reilly’s “memo” for the night counsels all the Democratic presidential candidates against attending YearlyKos, lest they be tainted by association of a site that “traffics in hate.” Hillary Clinton’s Communication Director Howard Wolfson does a yeoman’s job of trying to pierce through Bill’s insanity and attempt to inject a little rationality in the subject, but you know Bill is not going to let Howard have the last word.

WOLFSON: “The days where you can dictate where Senator Clinton and other Democrats go, who we talk to, are over.”

Did we have those days to begin with?

Peter Daou responds (at DailyKos, *gasp!*) as well..

UPDATE: Cenk of The Young Turks thinks that it’s time to label Fox News what it actually is: Fox Opinion…and he has a poll up in which he invites you all to participate:

Should institutions like Yearly Kos, the Democratic National Convention, and Democratic presidential campaigns give Fox “opinion media” credentials instead of the classic media credentials?

 Go vote and let’s get honest about what Fox really is.

I still can’t find that “violently overthrow the government” article on Kos… and I so wanted that pony too. :(

It is time that we start writing to those who advertise on the O’Reilly show and get him axed. Perhaps then he will have the time to get the treatment he so desperately needs. A padded room! Does anyone have a list? I don’t have cable and only get one local channel, but from what I hear this clown has to go!

What a pile of crap! Hercules would have given up trying to clean the horseshit out of the Faux News Stables.

I couldn’t even watch the whole clip, but I noticed that Bilious was reading comments, not any of the front page postings put up by the DailyKos staff. Anyone wanna bet they were troll posts?

jharp Says:

I’m sorry Mr. Wolfson didn’t mention how lefty weblogs allow people to post freely as opposed to the censuring on the right.

That said, Bill O pretty much pissed me off with this one. Mostly because 30% will believe it.

I going fishing with my son for three days and fuck you Bill O”Reilly. Keep at ‘em C & L.

Could it be time to switch the knob to ‘ignore’ now, regarding falafel boy and his attacks on Dkos?

I hate making him happy by enabling his thinking that he actually has an impact. Bad enough he got to JetBlue.

Otay Says:

Message to those progressives who must be on the O’Reilly show. Go on the attack, not the defense. Talk about Michelle Malkin’s hate-filled posts - Malkin herself, not comments from some people to the posts and ask why she is a co-host for Bill. Talk about Coulter. There are many examples. Defending loses. Attacking wins.

Dems still have not learned this simple lesson. It disgusts me.

Eternal Vigilance Says:

What’s become of our white christian male power structure? Can’t a guy use his Fox News soapbox to unilaterally dictate terms to his political enemies anymore? Geez.

Hey Billy, tomorrow’s Wednesday. What pants should I wear?

Punchy Says:

So basically, he’s painting himself into a corner, because all blogs, rw and lw, have to police every single of the hundreds of posts they get in a day. O’Reilly is bitching about kos comparative to his site where hate-speech is not tolerated which is #1 a lie and #2 different, because his posters have to register and be accepted, where most you know, normal internet blogs, open their posting to anyone.

I have seen people get threatened with guns on Michelle Malkin’s blog. Not recently, but at least once in the past. Wanna know how I know that, cause I was the one threatened. And not guns, but threats on Conservative Life (gone I think now), Powerline, Ace of Spades, and DEFINITELY FreeRepublic are not unusual. Hell, one of their writers sent white powder to several Americans. What the hell, idiot O’Reilly? And his old people viewers buy it - hook, line, and sinker.

15
Punchy Says:

And to add to my comment, O’Reilly’s blog has a helluva lot less posters than kos, making it easier to delete.

myiq2xu Says:

Too bad there’s no way to turn up the intelligence on the Faux News Channel. I tried the “Brightness” knob but that didn’t work.

They do not have a counter to Yearly Kos so all they can do is attack.

Bonkers Says:

Ok, no; I tried. I listened to about 30 seconds and then the size and shape of his Big Giant Head created an optical illusion that it was forcing it’s way out of my monitor and into my room, his hands making grotesque waving fan shapes to either side. Had to shut it off.

Brrrr. Repulsive little man.

The reich wing is threatened by kos and all the blogs because they are the counter weight to reich wing hate radio and cable “news”. They’re afraid, they’re very afraid.

I know what you mean. I keep thinking his head must be filled with steam and is about to burst. Which would make for the most substantive O’Reilly show he’s ever done.

Matter fact, HEY, one quick trip to Michellemalkin.com found this gem. And it was posted about 7 hours ago, plenty of time to remove it from the site, which if you saw Michelle shaking her head at the ‘librul’s’ assertion last night that comments like these are hard to police and remove, must mean ol’ rotten snarl lips wants this up on the site. That’s the only conclusion I can draw.
Rightwing idiots.

Immigrant Says:

Somebody tell this son of a bitch that Mitt Romney at the AIPAC meet said something on the lines - ” It’s a good thing to go ( on stage ) after Ann Coulter. ” Not just that, Romney had in fact been very proud of Ann Coulter’s endorsement.

But there’s something more sinister that everyone in the media seems to have missed about another Republican, Fred Thompson - that goofball whose imminent announcement has the conservative base salivating - he actually chose the hate site Little Green Footballs to release his ‘ memo on Israel ‘ on the internet.

It took me all of 25 seconds to find that racist post on Michellemalkin.com.

Sure, the guy was outraged because they were talking about that vile scumbag that raped child family members, but you know, that’s what the blogosphere is all about.
But leave it to O’Reilly to convince his 62 year old computer-illiterate voting viewers to think that Daily Kos promotes hate speech and…KKK and Nazism.
What a piece of shit.

dadams Says:

from the blog:

it’s like bush and billo are looking into a mirrow, except from opposites sides
at the same time………think about that.

Please send this to Clinton’s (and the other Dem candidate’s) spokespeople, to provide them with ammo next time they decide to appear on these propaganda shows.

Otay Says:

Notice how Bill labels anyone who wants to us to leave Iraq as “far left”. In other words, the majority of Americans are “far left”.

Poor guy. Next thing you know, everyone and his or her dog will be “far left” by O’Reilly’s standards, leaving Bill the only “centrist” around.

Poor Bill. He’s not fair, and he’s certainly not “balanced”. ;)

Snowball Says:

I submit that a large number, if not the majority of hateful comments at Liberal websites are the work of right wing trolls engaged in triple D operations. Triple D stands for Distract, Divide and Discredit. It was a tactic employed during the Vietnam war by law enforcement agencies to disrupt the anti-war movement and leftist organizations. First they infiltrate an organization, then they float misleading conspiracy theories, disrupt meetings, advocate illegal activities and attack Progressive leaders and otherwise sow discord. It’s not a new tactic and it has become much more prevalent and easy to do with the advent of the anonymity of the internet.

36
Angry One Says:

Perhaps O’Reilly thinks it’s time for GOP candidates to boycott the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). After all, that’s where Ann Coulter unleashed her John Edwards “faggot” slur…

37
Punchy Says:

Well, I sent it right to that nasty bitch Malkin, but as usual people don’t go on those Foxnews shows prepared and appear to lose a can’t-miss argument.

Oh, and please don’t let my cursing or negatory comments be seen as a reflection of the proprietors of Crooksandliars.com. Bill - you assclown dumbshit. See, we’re not fucking internet and altogether retarded like you and understand how, you know, widespread community freethinking works and not the robotic mindsharing sheep that apparently congregate at your idiotic website. (But really don’t, and post the same kind of hatespeech you find on every comment board on the web).

Perhaps so, Snowball. Notice how quickly Billo protested that the bad comments left on his blog were the result of C&L posters trying to discredit his blog? Methinks he doth protest too much.

Here we go folks. This just in: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07.....ref=slogin Paul Krugman’s dire forecasts may be coming true as all the Kool Aid drinking Bushbots have been saying the economy is humming along! So goes the housing market so goes the nation.

Chadimus Says:

Ignore this guy and write to all progressives who appear on his show to stop doing so. This guy needs to be put into a vacuum because let’s be honest, there is a certain percentage of people who will always live in this vacuum and believe whatever he says. Put pressure on his guests and his advertisers and because it’s a business first and foremost, if the $ isn’t being generated Billo will be replaced. We might not like the replacement, but by that point we’ll have shown Fox that the opposition is fully capable of costing them ratings and revenue when someone spews outright lies or worse.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t work. Ignoring what he (and others like him) is saying does nothing to awaken the general public to the existence of his “hate speech”. The key is to knock his financial support out from under him, thereby forcing his ouster. And that can only be done if we keep the pressure up.

Bill O’s program is such a fount of love and tolerance in comparison to DailyKos. Yeah, right! Hey Bill are you listening? Bill, you are a sad, sad excuse for what’s called journalism at Faux Noise. Add me to the list of people who think you have a lot to learn about raising the level of political debate to respectable levels.

49
Chris Says:

Wolfson’s a fool. By debating on O’Reilly’s show he’s giving him more importance.

Simply ignore O’Reilly, for O’Reilly is nothing more than an obnoxious big mouth who panders to the beer hall republicans with his selective out of context sound bites.

Given time, ignored and marginalized, O’Reilly will disappear.
