My Head 'asplode

[forsyth]

Wow. Watching Bill O'Reilly acting self-righteous about "haters" and websites and TV shows that "smear" people almost made my head explode. He attacked dailykos, a giant many-many user site of blogs and diaries and things related to politics as a "hate site" based on a few trolling comments and one comment that somebody called the Pope a primate. Um, Bill? The Pope is a primate. He's the Primate of Rome, and he's also a human being, part of the family of primates.

And then he went and harassed the president of JetBlue, because JetBlue was providing some transport and stuff to the YearlyKos convention. And JetBlue wussed out. This link is to an open letter to the president of JetBlue, and contains the first Bill O'Reilly clip. Wherein he compares DailyKos to the KKK and Nazis. And JetBlue wussed out.

Bill O'Reilly, who has been on TV spreading hate and smearing people for years and year, getting up on his high horse and lying about other people as "haters" and then lecturing about how it's the duty of all people to ignore haters? Yeah, my head almost exploded. Irony is indeed dead.

So I guess this means you missed the story about O'Reilly's website getting looked at by the Secret Service due to threats against Hillary Clinton. Obviously put there by the sleeper Kos agent who had a 1000 post history on the site just waiting for the right moment to strike.

I had heard about Bill O'Reilly making threats against Hillary Clinton, but hadn't hear the specifics. Guess I tuned it out because his regular schtick is implying threats and spewing hate.
