Bill continued his feud with the Daily Kos last week, updating his audience on his efforts to
change the world 10 travel vouchers at a time.
From his last Talking Points Memo:
Earlier this week we confronted JetBlue CEO Dave Barger about his airline sponsoring a
conference held by the hate-filled Web site the Daily Kos.
That far-left concern routinely posts vile thoughts such as Tony Snow should die from
cancer, the pope is a primate, and Israel deserves to be attacked.
The hate this Web site traffics in rivals the KKK and Nazi Web sites. Since JetBlue was the
only major company sponsoring the Kos conference, we wanted to know why. So we
confronted Barger.
Well, today the CEO sent us this statement: "Because the only thing JetBlue has done with
the YearlyKos Convention is to provide 10 travel vouchers, we've asked to have our name
removed from their Web site to avoid confusion. We're an airline, we're not a political
organization."
We also asked JetBlue if they have helped the U.S. military in any way, and they sent us a
list of their donations which we posted on billoreilly.com and we applaud JetBlue's
contribution in that area.
Now the mistake JetBlue made was hooking up with haters. There's no room for that in
America. Any corporation or politician who associates with character assassins and/or
defamers will be scrutinized.
A number of Democratic politicians are set to speak at the Kos convention. We'll report on
that next week.
The rise of the Internet has led to a rise in hatred in the USA. There is no question about it.
Coming up, in the "Most Ridiculous Item" tonight, we'll show you an example of right-wing
hatred. So it cuts both ways.
Now, as many have by now pointed out, Daily Kos contributors didn’t post the stuff about
Snow, Cheney, and the pope that gave Bill such an overwhelming case of the vapors. Those
were comments from readers. You know, like the following, from "premium members" of
BillOReilly.com (in response to an October 2006 story about a crocodile that was found in the
Rio Grande):
“Hummmmm not a bad idea. Crocs in the river. Free food for the crocs and no waste
after.” 09 Oct 2006 – 7:09 AM PT
“maybe some loyal American planted it there. We’ll rename the Rio Grande the North
American Moat. ‘Cross at your own risk’.” 09 Oct 2006 – 11:45 AM PT
“CrockPot River…. Hot Tamales…..Twist and Turn….Rest in peace….Amen……” 9 Oct
2006 – 12:15 PM PT
“How about importing some piranhas from the Amazon?” 10 Oct 2006 – 4:19 PM PT
It took us just a few minutes to find these last fall while researching our book “Fair and
Balanced, My Ass!" Ironically, feeding Mexicans to crocodiles is the sort of thing the Nazis and
the KKK really would embrace. So O’Reilly’s silly agitprop about the Daily Kos actually fits his
own site like a glove.
Incidentally, O’Reilly did go after a far-right hater at the end of his show during his Most
Ridiculous Item of the Day last night. He went out on a limb and excoriated the Rev. Fred
Phelps, the man notorious for walking around with “God hates Fags” signs, protesting at
military funerals and thanking God for 9/11 (and 3,000 dead sodomite Americans) as well as
the 2004 Asian tsunami (while hoping for 20,000 dead Swedes).
Of course, Bill didn’t mention Phelps’ incendiary “God hates fags” or tsunami commentary. But
he did run this quote from Phelps:
“Bill O'Reilly, spin doctor for his father, the devil. Bill O'Reilly, the FOX TV loud mouth who
brags on his show, called The Factor. And he's always fair and balanced and that The
Factor is a no-spin zone. That Bill O'Reilly is a demon-possessed messenger of Satan.”
Vile smear merchant, indeed.
