Over the past few days (years, really), Bill O’Reilly has been exhibiting the classic symptoms of a persecuted paranoiac. His utterly irrational fixation on what he calls the “vicious hate site,”<\/em> DailyKos, is a hauntingly disturbing window into his deranged soul.<\/p>\n\n\n

\nIt began with an attack<\/a> on JetBlue for daring to be a sponsor of the YearlyKos conference next month. By taking the coward’s way out and caving in to O’Reilly’s bullying, JetBlue only threw jet fuel on the fire.<\/p>\n

O’Reilly’s pretense is that the “far left”<\/em> DailyKos is not an appropriate host for a forum in which all of the Democratic candidates have agreed to appear. The truth is, he’s just angry and jealous because the same candidates declined to participate in a Fox Noise sponsored debate.<\/p>\n

Just to set the record straight on who is the hate-monger, yesterday O’Reilly chastised<\/a> the controversial Colorado professor, Ward Churchill, for describing others as Nazis and declaring that that,<\/p>\n

“…instantly disqualified Churchill from any serious teaching role.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This caused me to wonder if doing the same thing disqualifies one from being a TV commentator. Because O’Reilly had this to say<\/a> about DailyKos just six days earlier:<\/p>\n

“The hate this Web site traffics in rivals the KKK and Nazi Web sites.”<\/span><\/p>\n

An even better example occurred on December 13, 2005, when the peace advocacy group, World Can’t Wait<\/a> (WCW) published an ad protesting Mr. Bush and the war in Iraq. Here is how O’Reilly reported this news<\/a> and his response:<\/p>\n

The ad goes on to say, “People look at [the Bush administration’s policies] and think of Hitler – and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Now that kind of extremism is just stupid. But the Third Reich allusions are interesting, because early in Hitler’s rise to power, Nazi brown shirts did the same thing that World Can’t Way (sic) and other radical extremists are doing now, disrupting speeches, denying opposing points of view.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m impressed, frankly. O’Reilly just managed to condemn WCW as stupid for alluding to Bush as a Nazi and in the very same paragraph he alluded to the WCW as Nazis (without calling himself stupid). And his complaint about “denying opposing points of view,”<\/em> runs a little thin since his original complaint about DailyKos was that it was allowing<\/em> opposing points of view.<\/p>\n

If there were an Irony Olympics, O’Reilly would sweep the Gold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
