Bill O’Reilly, Nazis, and the Klan

“Repulsive” doesn’t begin to describe the latest foul excrement to spew from the dessicated lips of Satan’s own schlockmeister, Bill O’Reilly.

It is just unimaginable how much stored bile must be pressuring the interior of his putrid skull that he would sink to comparing fellow Americans, who passionately embrace Democracy, to the inhumane and murderous cults of Nazism and Klan hatred.

O’Reilly has every right to disagree with any group he cares to, but the Netroots Nation conference, and the DailyKos community from which it sprang, are the sort of caring, involved, and dedicated citizens that make Democratic government possible. For O’Reilly to gush this vomitous slime is so far removed from civil behavior that it speaks only to the severity of his psychosis.

What’s worse is that, at the same time that he is slandering these good people, he is trivializing the horrors wrought by the real terrorists in swastikas and hoods. He is dishonoring the millions of victims of Hitler’s madness, and thousands more right here on American soil who were tortured and killed by people (like O’Reilly) who consider themselves patriots.

There is apparently no bottom to O’Reilly’s demon soul. Listen for yourselves:

Glenn Beck Fills In For Larry King

The geniuses at CNN have decided to dig into the depths of their worst performing personalities to find a guest host for Larry King tonight.

Glenn Beck has the two lowest rated hours on the already low rated CNN Headline News. So naturally the programming brain trust at CNN would tap him to sit in the seat of their highest rated host, Larry King.


Glenn Beck WeakIn a previous stint on the mothership,
Beck moved up to CNN from Headline News to sub for Paula Zahn and barely scraped up the viewers he routinely got at his less-watched network. And he underperformed Zahn, who was replaced for poor performance, by a whopping 23%.


And if it’s not bad enough that they are ignoring Beck’s status as the Biggest Loser, they are also ignoring his history of offensive and racist speech, which Think Progress has nicely documented.
