O'Reilly Compares Markos to David Duke
By SilentPatriot Thursday May 15, 2008 12:40pm
On Tuesday's "O'Reilly Factor," BillO went after DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas for having the audacity to run a site where people are free to write posts like this one, in which dKos member Mahler3 <gasp> juxtaposed photos from Jenna Bush's wedding with graphic pictures from Iraq. This was not a recommended diary, by the way, and was almost universally panned in the comments section.

O'Reilly: And Newsweek magazine, by the way, has legitimized him by giving him a columnist position. I talked to the editor by email, and I said I can't believe that you're -- that's like hiring David Duke. Again, I use Duke too much, but I have to -- the level of hatred coming out of that website is unprecedented. Isn't it?
Markos responds here with some friendly and hate-free emails he got from O'Reilly viewers.
C&L'er Bill W writes:
Somehow Newsweek shouldn't have hired Kos because of what other people say in the comments or post in their user blogs, but of course he's okay with their hiring Rove who has been involved in scandal after scandal. Who's more like David Duke? Kos, or the guy behind the robocalls that said McCain had an illegitimate black child? I'm just sayin'.

Oh my.
Does the level of hatred reach this level, O'Racist? http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=672_1210794727
billy, don't be a zero. don't be a fool all your life.
Who’s more like David Duke? Kos, or the guy that considered going on a lynching party against Michelle Obama?
I'm just sayin'.
Poor O'racist is still waiting to be legitimized. Sadly, he always be remembered as nothing more than a propagandist who gladly drinks the Kool-Aide.
Showing any pictures of Jenna on Billo's show is asking for a lot self control on Billo's part. just sayin'.
Not in his defense, but at least Duke has a PhD compared to BillOs Polk award.
O'Falafel, tell us again about the polite Negroes in Harlem.
O'Racist: ...we’ll do it live, f*ck it…..f*cking thing sucks…
The bottom line is: it's all about Orally. Orally is upset because DKOS posted the Inside Edition video of Orally going off the edge into loonytoon land. So he finds some other excuse to attack DKOS.
"talked by e-mail", ooh I don't have that technology yet.
Typical liberal blog behavior" Our websites are superior, we wouldn't repeatedly show this stuff over and over, Jessie, roll the tape again would ya.
"the pictures are dispicable" The war however is OK, Pictures of its aftermath are bad.
Rebel Patriot @ 6:
I thought he got a poke award.
F*uckin' Marcos and his f*uckin' blog with the goddamn f*uckin' liberal bloggers and their f*uckin' hate. Unlike the f*uckin' Christians like me!
"The coarsening of America"
I actually spit diet coke out of my nose when he said that.
And who is this Mary Katherine Ham person anyway, and how is she an internet "expert". Is she an expert because she has a myspace page? Ick. I think there's some loofah-ing or felafeling or something going on.
Daily Kos has loyal fans. Bill O'Reilly has loyal fans. Bill and Markos are a couple of rich white guys engaged in a pissing match and their devotees chose up sides. 90% of the American public, struggling each day to earn a living, don't give a rat's ass which of the two battling partisans wins their argument.
The First Amendment allows for offensive speech.
Good thing too for Billo.
drago @ 14:
Markos is a rich white guy? Back that shit up please.
I think O'Reilly just doesn't want people to see the costs that others have had to pay for Bush's wars. I looked at the linked site to Kos and I don't object. Photos like the ones they had shown need to be seen and people need to know who caused it all. I've looked at page after page of photos just like those. That is reality and for many in the United States that supports Bush's wars its something that they can not stomach.
Perhaps O'Racist should call for another France-like boycott of Newsweek....since we all know how well that one worked out.
Does Markos get sued for sexual harrassment by a subordinate, or talk about loofahs, or cut people's mikes off when they start making sense, or practice ambush journalism.
I go news for you billo, David Duke's a REPUBLICAN.
I give Mary Katherine (not sure of what last name is) some credit though. she makes a good point: that everyone is so quick to hang Bush for taking way too many days off while "running" a war (in which he should be hanged), yet, not many people are too upset with the Democrats that were for the war as well back in 2001/2002. She makes a good point is all I am saying.
Truth is, arguments can be made against both sides of the political spectrum, equally, but since it's the asshole Republicans that are in power, they are the ones directly responsible to everything that goes on. My thing is, we (the people) have the right to pissed at Bush or his "Bushies" when they are able to sleep like babies every night and party all they want.
I thought it was universal that when you send people to a war, you bear the weight of their lives and the lives of their loved ones forever, which would lead to making your time more useful to those people (if any).
It was wrong to do the Bush daughter thingy, and it is wrong for Bill o' to call KOS David Duke.
I wonder what its like for Bill O out in public. I would hope he is laughed at everywhere he goes. Its gonna be harder for Dubya. And all those comments seemed to come from the same 10 year old boy. blah
I love it when we throw shit from O'Reilly lovers back in their own faces. O'Reilly is a living, breathing ass-crack, so it's not surprising that his viewers are even lower forms of shit, too! One time I was riding the Chicago L and there was this creepy little turd wearing an O'Reilly Factor T-shirt. These two rather large, menacing looking lesbians started pointing at him and making fun of him. (This is around the time O'Reilly was carrying on against gay marriage in San Francisco and threatening to go to San Fran personally to make a 'citizens arrest of Gavin Newsom!") Anyway, he had about as much balls as O'Reilly actually did and got red-faced and stomped off the train, flipping the two lesbians the bird AFTER the train doors had closed and it started to roll away! That's the kind of pussies that support O'Reilly and send nasty e-mail to Markos and others.
Talking about people demanding the m****r f*****g iced teas sounds like a David Duke thang.
And Inside Edition won a Polk Award for firing bill's ass.
i have an intense dislike for bush, and even i thought that post was in poor taste. if they want to juxtapose bush playing golf or dancing with africans with the dead in the middle east, fine. but his kid is blameless.
If the emails that KOS received from O'Reilly viewers are an example of the people who watch his
newsinformationrealityhate filled gossip infomercial for Fox then I can't see how anybody would advertise at that time. These people obviously are not capable of absorbing any kind of intellectual information. Very scary indeed!!Duderino @ 20:
guess you havent spent too much time on progressive blogs, because they constantly bash the hypocracy of the dems in regards the war and occupation
hamm is a better looking version of coulter
and if you place in context bush's silly comments about why he no longer plays golf, then going after jenna having an opulent wedding, is fair game
O'Reilly is just upset that she got married, and he's missed his opportunity to shove a baked good into one of her orifices.
I just find it funny that the worst thing he could think to call Markos was the name of a fellow Republican. The man came to an intellectual gunfight with a spork.
I was extremely glad that this site made no post in regards to the shrub co. crime family wedding when it happened. It's not news. It's not even remotely relevant to anything unless you want to use it to further illustrate the callousness of the shrub regime. And I guess someone did that elsewhere.
It certainly is obvious that borly has nothing of relevance to say when the best he can do is pull shit to whine about off the internet. Seriously. WTF? They call this idiot a "journalist" ? Are there any actual journalists left? Because they should be insulted that people want to categorize this idiot along side them. It's a lot like insisting jerry springer has socially relevant content. Except at least with springer, you know it's all a joke. borly still pretends his childish tabloid show is news!
But then, I guess you can convince people of anything these days.
We still believe there's a government working for the populace.
Right Bill O'Reilly what can your say about Mr. Fox Nut. Mr. "Personality".
And on that note I'll mention I am also beginning to get a little bit annoyed seeing celebrities schmoozing and showing off on the Red Carpet at the Cannes Film Festival and doing next to nothing to help bring attention to the problems people in this country are facing.
Does anyone find it rather ironically sad that poor Mary Katherine was given the surname HAMM when she sports that repulsive pig's snout on her face?
so lufa boy is boycotting newsweek
guess that will work out just as good as the boycott of france, which we all know destroyed their economy
I wonder how many troops are not going to be able to come home and marry their sweeties, or watch their children grow up and get married (but not to each other.)
what a silly man that o reilly is !
I always come to this site but rarely see anything against a Democrat. "Progressives" mean well, but let's face it, it's a better way of saying "Democrat" these days. But don't go thinking that just because I point out the obvious of how there's bias comments and attacks on both sides doesn't mean I side with anyone. Republicans fucked up this decade so I lean left, but then again, I don't think many of the Democratic views will do us any good, if anything they will do more harm in the long run. That's up to debate.

How? She'll be inheriting all the blood money acquired by her chimp father. They're all responsible for that, if she was really blameless she would be out holding rallies against the atrocities committed by daddy instead she and her slutty sister were out getting wasted all over the world and getting kicked out of countries. And I'm sure she won't say no to the spoils from Iraq just as the previous bushies didn't say no to the spoils from the Nazis. Same garbage the lot of them.
The juxtaposition of the images reminded me a bit of the Godfather movies, particularly when they're in church being oh so holy while there's chaos going on around them.
I loved reading the hate mail against Markos, you could tell how illiterate the people who were writing in were. Aside from the misspelling there was the use of the kind of lazy shorthand stuff that teenagers use on the Text-messaging on cell phones. But it makes good comedy, kinda like those pictures of Redneck limos' made out of pickups etc.

Yeah, there are those partisan towards reality, and then there are the O'Reilly unhinged wingnuts. A real Sophie's choice there...

Poor falafel boy. He and the rest of his clan...Hannity, Coulter, Limbaugh...have rapidly worn out their welcome. The vast majority have tired of their anger and venom. Enjoy the last 30 seconds of your 15 minutes, Bill O. Nobody is listening anymore.
How dare the peasants complain of their suffering when the little princess is getting married!!!
Everyone make merry
Under penalty of Death.
Sorry but I still don't see how your comment proves why she should still be attacked on behalf of her father.
Let's look at a similar situation that involves you:
How about this "Stimulus Check" from the gov't, are you going to burn it or cash it? Be honest with yourself here.
all hail the hypno toad @ 37:
I hate that all the fun stuff comes on here at one and two in the morning (my time). In order to stay up this late I have to have a few drinks, and once I've had a few drinks .... well, I'm sure you've all seen me go off when I've had a few.
♠Bangkok-Bob♠ @ 38:
It's the next step in the evolution of human beings. Those who live in an environment in which they use their brains Thinking, reading non-fiction books, etc.) will grow more intelligent, while those who live in a brainless environment of Billo, American Idol politics, and tractor pulls will grow less intelligent.
O'Reilly: "I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that's how she really feels -- that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever -- then that's legit."

Duderino @ 43:
If you want to piss off the administration, then use the money from your stimulus check to pay down a credit card. That way it just helps you and your credit and does nothing for our idiot in chief and his "Legacy".
Duderino @ 36:
Great "logic". The reich-wingers "fucked up this decade", but Democratic views will do more harm in the long run. Only a reich-winger could be that obtuse. Keep voting reich-wing, you deserve everything that is coming to you from that failed party.
i thought the kos post was in perfectly good taste. anyone related to that vile piece
of shit is fair game as far as i'm concerned.

Isn't Hate O'Reilly's middle name?
Duderino @ 43:
Well considering I moved out of the country and didn't leave a forwarding address I'm not getting it, nice try though. But yeah, the country as a whole is guilty of the atrocities being committed in their name. They really could do something to stop it but for some reason American society likes to stick its head up its collective arse when things like that are reported. That's the whole reason that when people talk of the US moving in a fascist direction, they get laughed at because oh they haven't come after me and besides it's can't happen here.
Duderino @ 43:
What the hell does the "Stimulus Check" have to do with this?
Where is the fake outrage from this quote?
Why she should still be attacked on behalf of her father.
In April 2003, Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly hosted a fundraiser for Best Friends, a charity benefiting inner-city schoolchildren. As reported in the Washington Post (4/15/03), O'Reilly was trying to fill the time before a singing group connected with the charity, called the Best Men, was set to perform, and quipped: "Does anyone know where the Best Men are? I hope they're not in the parking lot stealing our hubcaps."
According to the Post report, some of the conservatives in the audience were aghast at the seemingly racist crack. But if anyone was shocked by O'Reilly's apparent racism, they haven't been paying much attention.
Two months before O'Reilly's "hubcaps" remark, he used a racist slur on the air. Searching for a word to describe someone who assists immigrants crossing the border, O'Reilly came up with "wetback" (2/6/03). [...]
* During an interview for Stuff magazine (11/02), O'Reilly opined that "the most unattractive women in the world are probably in the Muslim countries." O'Reilly later insisted (New York Daily News, 10/10/02), "There was no malice intended. It was just in jest."
* During a segment (2/9/00) about black athletes suing over the minimum academic standards for college admission, O'Reilly commented: "Look, you know as well as I do most of these kids come out and they can't speak English."
* Criticizing Democratic politicians who met with Rev. Al Sharpton, which O'Reilly compared to meeting with white supremacist David Duke: "Why would it be different? Both use race to promote themselves." (3/16/00) O'Reilly also equated the Black Panthers with Duke (1/11/99): "You were promoting your people, black people, and he's promoting white people. So what's the difference?" ...(and on and on)

There's a lot more from way back before the "MFing ice tea" and the 'lynching party' against Michelle Obama stuff.
I saw a clip from Larry King Live in which Larry asked Jenna and her mother about supporting John McCain, and then Jenna said something along the lines of being open to all the candidates. I heard that it broke George's little heart. Well, can you imaging having that man as your father?
Often, the children of alcoholics don't drink because they've had to live with them. Maybe there is hope for Jenna.
chicano2nd @ 52:
haha .. I like it ... Bill-odio
Bill O'Reilly... I'm certain you'd understand this... Fuck off!
Rita @ 25:
I tend to agree; however was shocked that the wedding wasn't more of a PR disaster. This is the one Bush who seems pretty normal(the daughter). I was surprised that no one mentioned how tacky it was to have the President's daughter get married at a time when who knows how many couples had to cancel their weddings because one them was deployed, re-deployed, stop-lossed, dead, maimed or recovering in a hospital somewhere. Many parents won't get to see their children married thanks to our fearless leader.
While I don't think the daughter is to blame, it would have seemed a bit more considerate to delay the wedding until he leaves office. The lie about giving up golf for the troops was a lovely gesture, but still made this whole thing look tacky.
Of course Marky Mark is pure as the driven snow... at Chernoble. HOW many folks have been banned there because they DARED say a word critical of Saint Obama? Or not even THAT, just saying anything in support of Senator Clinton? I'm supposed to be upset this little primadonna is getting barked at? PUUUUUHLEAZE! Find something real to be upset about huh?

I will assume that you have no clue whatsover who Markos is based on your comments.
Such blind hatred from a guy who calls the right wing "reich-wing"
1. As for my comment that SOME democratic views will do more harm than good in the long run is up for debate, but I speak strictly economically when I say that.
2. I didnt vote in 2000 or 2004 but I am a Ron Paul supporter, and with respects to front-runners, Obama is my choice.
3. If your are so quick to label me when I am voicing sound open-for-debate opinions, then just remember that the Bushies do the same thing to liberals by calling them "Un-American" - You are officially, no different.

Well since you are on the outside looking in (because I was supposed to know that apparently), I give you props and more American's need to listen to other "non-Americans" But my point still stands. Everyone who attacks Jenna's life based on her father's mistakes are the same people that will cash in on the stimulus check that will do more harm than good. Kudos on futurama by the way.

Duderino @ 67:
This was rich with irony.
I read those comments sent to Markos and it reminds me of the intelligent conversations that invades the Barrens chat in the World of Warcraft game.
They all talk a big game, but when push come to shove, they'll cower and cave rather quickly.
Markos enjoys power and influence because he gets 24 million visitors to his website each month. Markos can deliver those eyeballs to his advertisers. Billo enjoys a lucrative career because commercial sponsors salivate at his radio and TV cumulative audience of 7 million. It ain't about left or right, democrat or republican, liberal or conservative. Those phony labels are plot devices demagogues use to masturbate your mind. America is based one vast dominion of dollars. The rich always win; 100% of the time. Political affiliation don't amount to a pinch of dog crap.
Rusty Shackleford @ 63:
Woo! That was one ripe bunch of hate-emails that Kos got from a lot of unbelievable creeps. Making anonymous threats over the internet is a great example of pure cowardice.
lol
I don't agree with the O'Really...but Markkkos aka leader of the Koshacks, writing style blows.
This was not a recommended diary, by the way, and was almost universally panned in the comments section.
You know? I'm really sick and tired of the liberals on my side being too spineless to call a spade a spade.
That post was 100% relevant to the reality of how fucked up our country is and it perfectly illustrated how absolutely amoral the Bush family is.
Stop playing nice with the cons and the Bushs.
They don't deserve it.
This site sure does give away a lot of Publicity for FOX News seems like I see that FOX Logo a bunch can you at least blur it?
The diary was a cheap-shot juxtaposition of Jenna's wedding and atrocities of the Iraq war, it sucked and almost all of the commenters let the author have it. It was not a front page post, and had nothing to do with Kos. There are literally hundreds of user diaries posted every day on DailyKos and anyone can sign up and create their own diary for free. Attacking Kos for something some anonymous idiot did/said in their diary, or in the comments is ridiculous, especially when O'Reilly's own website has worse stuff on it from his registered users who pay $50 a year just to post there.
Bill O'Reilly's Web site threatens Hillary's life
O'Reilly continued to attack Daily Kos while ignoring objectionable comments on his own site
O'Reilly continued to compare Daily Kos to Nazis and the KKK
justabill @ 3:
Good one!
goat hussein sage @ 16:
Drago is engaging in the false equivalence argument. He's actually shilling for O'RLY but he can't admit it because shilling is disgusting, prostitutive behavior. So he instead tries to establish an equivalence between Markos and O'RLY in order to dismiss Markos. You notice he doesn't really care about O'RLY's credibility because he's got none anyway.
This same trick has been used by agents provocateur to drive down the Democratic base by falsely comparing the foibles of the (D) party to the outright criminal power grabs of the (R) party. One is expected to be ignorant enough to compare the two and either fail to vote, or vote against one's personal interests by voting punitively against the D's.
