John Amato’s virtual online magazine…OK, It’s a blog!




Bill O’Reilly stands by his smear of Arianna Huffington: There’s no difference between her and Goebbels.

BillO obviously is feeling some heat over his vile words the other day when he compared Hitler and the KKK to some anonymous commenter’s on the Huffington Post and attacking Arianna. In his perverted defense, he says that the use of propaganda by the Nazis to murder millions of Jews is an honest comparison to some idiots leaving comments on a blog.

O’Reiily: …from the late nineteen twenties to nineteen thirty three when Hitler became chancellor, the Nazis used vile propaganda to demonize Jews and others in the eyes of the German people. The used newspapers, radio, leaflets and rallies to build up enormous hatred towards your family.

Today we’re seeing the same thing on the net here in America, there is no difference. When Arianna Huffington allows people to say that Nancy Reagan should suffer terribly and then die, that is no different that what doctor Joseph Goebbels and others were putting out way back then.

What an ignorant fool. Yea, a few commenter’s on blogs are in some way equal to Hitler and his mass rallies that led millions of people to their demise and are as evil as the KKK and the Nazis in O’Reilly’s world. Right wing demagogues will say absolutely anything to justify their insane actions. Rarely if ever, BillO will take a look at right wing sites to see what they are up to as Steve Young points out.

I know you won’t because you never have. You’ve always said that the Right’s smears are minuscule as compared to the Left’s. What, you’ve never listened to talk radio? You’ve never gone through the tons of right wing sites? You’ve never watched your show?

When you first ripped into DailyKos you admitted you had never even heard of FreeRepublic.com, one of the largest right wing blog sites on the Net. Some crack research staff…read on

I didn’t see BillO repudiate Malkin when I broke the story about her printing the phone numbers of Santa Cruz students who were then inundated with hate calls and death threats. She was repudiated by some of her own over that one. The Santa Cruz students contacted me to help them out when the hate got too much. When I exposed Michelle’s conduct—where was Bill? Where was Bill when she attacked the Frost family? Where was Bill when the right winger Charles Johnson attacked Jill Carroll after she was released from being kidnapped in Iraq? Where was…ahhh…you get the point.

Speaking of striking similarities….

Anyone notice that Fox News hired a ‘journalist’ who looks just like GW Bush? Just as dumb too.

It’s eerie to watch Bush practically interview himself.

love this site but pls stop telling us abt this fool. I don’t watch Fox nor will I read anymore postings abt billO. We are better than him, smarter, more compassionate, better americans. He thrives (I think) on going on these sites and seeing how much people talk abt him. The readers of this blog (99.9% I hope) can’t stand him. Pls consider limiting billO related posts to sporadic Olberman highlights.

bill Says:

BOreilly is hoping she will “do something….or say something…” I don’t think he deserves the time of day. He only cares about getting attention because attention means ratings. He is a low life imbecile and doesn’t rate any attention at all. Ignore him or ridicule him. Just don’t take his challenge. That would be like writing him a check.

This guy is simply the worst of the worst.
No one else comes close to his hypocrisy and seething hatred.
The way he aggressively and maliciously and completely dishonestly goes out of his way to accuse the best progressive web sites of the kind of actions that THEY would NEVER stoop to,that HE HIMSELF IS MOST GUILTY OF OVER AND OVER AGAIN is unprecedented and vile beyond description.

Joshdavis Says:

I just don’t understand this. It’s blatant propaganda in the most devious of forms.

Or is it really possible that Bill O’Reilly is actually out of the right-wing conservative loop? Perhaps he really has joined the company of nothing but old-timers, just like his apparently-ignorant audience. Even the young, crude, conservative blogging crowd will tell you their sites feature a slew of vile, ignorant content, but their defense, just like on liberal blogs, is that their either not responsible or don’t condone such language.

I really don’t think O’Reilly even begins to understand the situation here. This stuff exists on his own site. I’m giving him the Bush incompetency defense on this one.

stop reading about billo on this site if you are not interested. then you won’t
feel the need to respond. the many of us like to be informed about others
who try to smear without conscious or ethics.

UnEasyOne Says:

O’Reilly, Goldberg, Savage and the other actual fascists are doing their level best in a coordinated campaign to confuse the public as to what a fascist actually is. Odd that all the same people they would have once labeled communist, they now label fascist.

Thirty years ago when many more were still alive who actually knew what a fascist was, these attempts would have been laughable. Now the generation which defeated German and Italian fascism is passing from us and the American right is busily establishing fascist government here.

It is crucially important (to the fascists) that just accusations of fascism from the left be defused and discredited as “He said - she said” smears. There is method to their madness.

SWoods Says:

I think we should do a smear campaign against Billo that does not involve violence but involves sending him and/or blogs messages that will creep him out. In other words send out messages/comments about how much you (male or female) would love to do all kinds of sexual acts on him. I know, I know it makes one want to vomit, but it would sure make him squirm! He would begin to think he was sexually attractive until he learned who was really sending him those tittalating messages.

The sad thing is — is that this will probably be GOOD for O’Reilly’s ratings.

It pretty much always is, no matter how hateful or vile. His ratings go up and up and up.

The guy is a first rate creep and a crackpot right wing loon. But just let the nut say what he wants. At his age can he keep this rubbish up much longer? He’s pushing 60 and he’ll retire sooner rather than later.

And good riddance. The end of the failed Bush era will (hopefully) mean the end of the Fox “News” era.

A history lesson by a neo-fascist!
Please, lets try and ignore this ignorant scumbag, along with his ilk.
His job distract us from serious debate and higher levels of discourse.
Nothing he says means anything except to the 15-20% who are too bloodthirsty and hateful to believe anything but.
Move on to important subjects. Toss Bill O in with Paris H and Anne C and the rest of the trash.

I would have to check it out, but I don’t remember anybody on HuffPost wishing Nancy Raygun died. Does he have a staff that fact checks for him, or does he just pull shit out of his ass?

abob Says:

Bill O’Reilly never denied that he was a Nazi. Billo simply included Arianna Huffington among those who copy his Nazi-like tactics of propaganda to demonize enemies. Labeling your opponent a Nazi, or Hitler, or Fascist is the most common tactic in political discourse. Bush and Cheney have been called fascist more often than Brad Pitt had sex with Angelina.

33
cleo Says:

Billo is simply irrelevent. He talks to hear himself talk and to expel those evil gases that he produces.
I just wish someone would light a match near him while he is expelling the gases so that he would blow up.

O’Reiily: …from the late nineteen twenties to nineteen thirty three when Hitler became chancellor, the Nazis used vile propaganda to demonize Jews and others in the eyes of the German people. The used newspapers, radio, leaflets and rallies …

And most of that propaganda was written by Henry Ford and shipped to Germany by the Bush family’s shipping line - specifically for the purpose of bringing the Nazis to power.

Once again the Republican Smear Machine accuses the anti-fascists of doing precisely what they - the fascists themselves - have done.

How would you know if Brad had sex with Angelina? Is there some kind of proof out there somewhere?
As for calling Bush and Cheney fascist, they are. Look up the meaning of fascist and get back to us.

bshock Says:

Yes, I quite agree that Mr. O’Reilly is an “ignorant fool,” at the very least.

How unfortunate then that this article promotes such an ignorant fool, however inadvertently. As the election in 2000 of Traitor Bush demonstrated, name recognition is everything, and so there’s no such thing as bad publicity.

How unfortunate for the rest of us commenting here that we seem to be helping.

Snowball Says:

There are plenty of right wing trolls over at HuffPo pretending to be Democrats who say rediculously vile things designed to detract from the conversation and sully Democrats and the blog. I wouldn’t be half surprised if the poster who made the comment about Nancy Reagan was a Bill O’Reilly plant if the comment was ever made at all. There are so many comments at HuffPo that it’s hard to find your own so you can pick back up on the thread much less find one obnoxious and vile one that O’Reilly could pick out.

38
Scy Says:

Of course he was looking in the mirror when he came up with this, correct?

We HAVE to make sure the nutballs at Fox stay on the air and constantly air this idiocy. I mean the knuckle-draggers buy it but who cares about them. The people in the middle are flocking in droves from the Repugs. I wonder if McCain will even carry Utah. Hell, a few years back even Buckley wrote about the permanant demise of conservatism thanks to the Republican party.

Taxation is the inititiation of force.
Therefore, people who support taxation are evil.
People who pretend to be ‘government’ implement taxation.
Therefore, people who pretend to be ‘government’ are evil.
Therefore, people who support ‘government’ are evil.
O’Reilly supports ‘government’.
Therefore, O’Reilly is evil.
Therefore, O’Reilly and all ‘government’ supporters can’t complain about anyone without being a complete hypocrite.

flex Says:

Bill AssO’Reilly is an asshole. His asshole remarks signify the conservative, wingnut party. More proof how screwed up this country is by having Bill AssO’Reilly spewing his bigoted hate in the media. Not acceptable. He’d be better off preaching in a dive bar where somebody could punch him in the nose.

42
Snowball Says:

The site is called Crooks and Liars specifically because its goal is to highlight and counter the likes of O’Reilly. Before sites like this, Fox News and Bill O’Reilly could pretend to be non-partisan and “Fair and Balanced” without ever being called out on it.

By his own argument… isn’t Bill equally indistinguishable from Goebbels?

Max-1 Says:

.

Bill O’Liely doth project far too much.

He’s comprehension of just what Fascism is, is lacking.
Remember, he’s the paid propagandist working for the Neocon Network.
He’s paid to create hysteria and the promotion of fear in America.
He accepts a paycheck to slander others unabashedly.
He’s the American Goebbels.

I await his demise along with that of the current Administration and the Neocon Fascist movement.

O’Really doesn’t support government, only the authoritarian, militaristic and undemocratic aspects of it. As far as using government as a democratic instrument to better society and mitigate the power of corporations and inherited aristocracy, he and the rest of the Conservative movement are against it.

I guess so, but every blog is like that, including rightwing blogs. There are a pile of idiotic trolls (some staff members) that do it to get hits.
