O'Reilly and Goldberg Have the Nerve to Call Keith Olbermann a 'Character Assassin'
Project much guys? Smear merchants Bill O'Reilly and Bernard Goldberg had the nerve to call Keith Olbermann a "character assassin". Actually, they didn't call Keith Olbermann that per se since they refused to even mention his name during the segment, not that there was any doubt who they were talking about.
Of course a good portion of the segment for O'Reilly was all about him and his ratings at Fox, with Goldberg egging him along, calling Olbermann "the tallest midget in the room" at MSNBC.
To hear these two talk about "character assassination" is pretty rich considering the flame throwing that they've done on the air as Dave has documented.
We can see why Bernie Goldberg's book was an inspiration to the Knoxville church gunman
Bill O'Reilly has Dr. George Tiller's blood on his well-stained hands
If anyone knows something about that topic, it's these two birds. Say what you might about Keith Olbermann's style or if he was given to hyperbole, but he wasn't literally inspiring nut jobs to go out there and murder anyone. And he didn't come on the air and lie night after night like O'Reilly does. O'Reilly and Goldberg can take all the cheap shots at Olbermann they want, but it won't change the fact that there was a world of difference between what Keith did on the air night after night at MSNBC, and the lying, fear mongering, false equivalencies, race baiting, and just generally insulting crap that O'Reilly puts on the air night after night.
The fact that O'Reilly and a lot of his fellow propagandists on Fox has a bigger audience than Keith did or the others in MSNBC's prime time still do just shows how terribly screwed up this country is when hate merchants are still allowed on the air and Keith Olbermann, who tried to speak a little truth to power, no longer is.
Ratings don't make you right Bill. They just mean a whole lot more people are sadly being propagandized by your network and your show and that Rupert Murdoch pumping money into Fox News before it made a dime and most similar endeavors would have gone under has finally paid off for him.
I can't wait to see Jon Stewart point out all the "character assassinations" carried out by O'LIE-he!
For example: how many people has Bill labeled as "Pin Heads"? Or how about "Tiller the Baby Killer" which led to the death of Dr. Tiller? Bill you actually played a role in this REAL assassination! Do you know when to tone down your hate speech, lies, propaganda and intolerance?
The departure of Olbermann scares the crap out of me, regarding our freedom. The Rightwing are already commenting on how Keith's termination should reflect on other MSNBC hosts' speech, that they will be forced to censor their speech now or fear termination themselves. And these are the same Conservative assholes that are running around complaining about their First Amendment right to free speech, and crying about the "liberal media". What a joke...but its really not funny, it's scary as shit.
We Progressives need to stand up, and stand together against the Regressives in our country before they kill American Democracy (which is still young and vulnerable, and going down quickly, thanks to the fascists in our country).
being compromised. Any takers?
It seems it was more about money than speech. What drives me crazy for no good reason is that Keith is gone and Pat Buchanan is still there. That is just so wrong for so many reasons no matter what happened in Keith's situation
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
around on the teevee machine since Nixon. I'm 57 and am sick-to-death of the likes of the old bigots and bullies like Buchanan.
I see the kidz posting that they are sick and tired of all the geezer congressmonsters - think about it for people like me - those OLD GEEZERS have been in office my ENTIRE LIFE - I was in my 20s when half of them took over - Hatch, the prig is one that comes to mind - they are sickening. I also see the kidz posting that it is time to remove them - yes, it is - it is TIME for the kidz to get out in the streets and raise hell because they have gotten college educations and owe tons of money in loans and if they manage to get jobs, are paid minimum wage at the local burger joint.
VOTE OUT THE GEEZERS, VOTE YOUNGZ, VOTE.
The reason we got stuck with the likes of these oldwhyte guyz again is because the youngz DID NOT VOTE.
I couldn't tell you who's still there and who's not. I locked out MSNBC on Saturday morning. Nothing but Comedy Central and Encore Westerns left. Everything else is a fucking lie.

cable package in many parts of the country, which means if you don't have a digital TV, or pay extra for a converter box, then you don't get it.
FOX and CNN are on basic. If you have cable, it comes with the package.
Comparing FOX's ratings to MSNBC's is like comparing CBS's ratings to HBO's.
So it's not comparing apples to apples, it's comparing apples to filet mignon.
....unfair advantage faux has because of that. I've pointed it out in the past but thank you for pointing it out now.
Also, where billo gets the gall to call anyone anything is beyond me. billo is lower than a pregnant snake. Just the comment about the girl deserving to be raped because of the clothes she wore was enough but the comments about the kid kidnapped by the sexual predator put him on my "Do NOT consider him a HUMAN BEING" list.

I don't know how either of these guys could say this stuff with a straight face. I kept expecting them both to just start laughing and say, Who are we kidding? After all the crap Beck has thrown at people they had to know that this was hypocritical as hell.
BillO just used this to brag about his ratings and those of Fox. Never let anothers problem go to waste if you are an ego freak.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Any word, as long as it supports RuMur's political agenda.

Just look at what Rove did and continues to do as a major character assassin. Ask Joe Wilson.
I never heard Olbermann say something untrue; and if he ever made a mistake, he openly and honestly corrected it on the air.
When can you say that of O'Reilly?
And certainly never of Rove, whose empire was built on character assassination, his emulation of Nixon's dirty tricksters like Segretti. Even John McCain lost a bid for the presidency when Rove smeared him for fathering a black child--completely untrue.

Jon Stewart is on Townhall's list of the most dangerous liberals in this country. He is at number 28.
Bill O'Reilly contributes to Townhall.
Isn't that just but one example of a character assassination, calling Jon Stewart one of the "most dangerous" liberals in this country?
Well, perhaps, he is most dangerous to these conservative pukes because he tells the truth about them. Jon's beatdown of Fox and their denial of Nazi references was excellent last night (it's on Video Cafe).

Yeah but calling a docter Tiller the Killer for performing a 100% legal medical procedure is A-OK. Even if he's subsequently killed by someone who thinks he's a murderer.

What Keith did inspire was empathy toward your fellow man and generosity. Raise your hand if you donated to the National Association of Free Clinics, one of the causes that Keith supported.
He drowned his Olber-mug and rejected his viewers.
In fact, I expect Stewart and Colbert to be almost as pleased as O'Reilly.
they both are afraid to LOOK Liberal, even if that's the side seeking the TRUTH. They all have to be "Moderate" ... you know "Moderate" AS IN what was considered FAR-RIGHT in pre-Reagan Era. The country is in a collapse and they are all about "appearances".

Taking them for anything else is problematic.
Most of the time they are funny, other times they are boring, and sometimes when they try to be serious (Stewart at least) they are sad.
Maybe the writers of the Daily Show will get back to their A-game now that they don't have to worry about MSNBC threatening Viacom's monopoly of poking fun at News Corp.

Both he and Beck have dedicated entire shows to smearing Mr. Soros. Billo went so far as to say "they ought to hang this guy"
O'Reilly's present crusade against a 75-year old sherrif that have the nerve to make a true statement that could be blown way out of proportion by everyone on the Fox "News" Network.
Two old t**ds, floating in the punch bowl of life.
Old Bernie is looking like it's time to cash in.
You would think with all their millions and their advanced ages, they would seek pleasure and happiness on an island or something. But no, these psycho's actually derive their satisfaction by screwing over people who have but a tiny fraction of what they have.

Ratings mean more to Bill-O than honestry, integrity and truth. Let's also put some context into what ratings mean: the people who watch Bill-O and Fox in general are the same people who can't get enough of Paris Hitlon and the Kardashians. Yeah, Bill-O, be proud of your ratings. They really mean a lot in the grand scheme of things.

all combined are less than 1% of the Country's population, but Fox's viewers are PUMPED UP and READY for SECOND Confederate WAR. And MSNBC's are ready to "lean forward" as in "bend over" or as Jesus says "turn the other cheek".

Thank you.
You are correct, 100%.
I just look at Bill-O, alias "The Frank Burns of News", and his harpie pal Bernard Goldberg, who I think couldn't carry Bill Goldberg's jockstrap, and i think back to the Unitarian Church Shooting in July of 2008, and I say, "What a couple of character assassins they are!"
I sincerely hope that, should there be another incident of right-wing violence in this country, and should either or both of these two men have been an influence in it, then the prosecutor of the case has the evidence to indict the for incitement to violence. I sincerely would love to see Bill-O and Bernie being frog-marched into the joint for the rest of their lives.
They are millionaires. They are exempt from your mortal laws.

It's always something! Why do [we] continue to even notice any longer? We know it's coming and still we address their blather as though it had any real meaning.
I believe it's all orchestrated....the double, triple etc. talk. And it's done in such a way to QUITE SIMPLY infuriate the left and leave them smokin' and shakin' their heads in disbelief. And wasting much needed resources that should be directed to things in the 'real' world.

Isn't this rube Goldberg the same guy who wrote the book listing the most dangerous liberals that inspired the guy who shot a bunch of people saying he was planning to work through the list?
Or do I have a different Bernie in mind.

I am betting it is the latter since I am sure Bill thinks, to this day, that the French named an airport in his honor every time he flies to the land of Freedom frites.

Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
Wasn't Bill O'Reilly called a "character assassin" by General Wes Clark to his face? And wasn't his response, not to deny the claim, but to justify it, saying "Sometimes characters need to be assassinated?"
You're a joke, O'Reilly, a goddamn joke, and your hypocrisy offends me.
