<\/embed>Bill O’Reilly goes off the deep end tonight (video at left<\/i>) because of alleged comments his producers claim to have found “on a vicious far-left website called the DailyKos, one of the worst examples of hatred that America has to offer.” O’Reilly proceeds to take issue with Jet Blue for sponsoring the DailyKos convention<\/a> (with 10 plane tickets!) which, coincidentally, is this week<\/strike> in two weeks, August 2-5. At one point O’Reilly makes some rather unfortunate comparisons with the DailyKos<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Because this is hate of the worst order. It’s like the Ku Klux Klan. It’s like the Nazi party. There is no difference here. People should die – they want Tony Snow to die – Cheney to die.”<\/div>\n

UPDATE\/ADDENDUM FROM BRAD<\/i>: As dKos diarist “mcjoan” a pointed out over there<\/a> in advance of O’Reilly’s big hate scoop, perhaps No Spin Boy may have a gripe against dKos founder Markos Moulitsas Zuniga that he failed to mention in his hit piece. “Markos led the way in getting the Democratic presidential candidates to boycott the Fox debate,” she writes, “and we’re going to be having a Democratic presidential candidates forum at YearlyKos.”<\/p>\n

There’s that, and the fact that dKos is only the largest community in the blogosphere, either Left or Right, and a grave threat to folks like Fox “News” and O’Reilly, since they have a habit of countering their spin with actual facts<\/i>.<\/p>\n

And most importantly, O’Reilly forgot to mention that the comments<\/em> he alluded to on the site could well have been posted by anyone<\/em>, since it’s an open site. A question one might ask then (one that’s at least<\/i> as responsible as O’Reilly’s ridiculous attack): Did Bill O’Reilly or one of his producers post those “hateful” comments at dKos themselves? Perhaps someone should ambush them<\/i> to find out. Without evidence either way, I’ll just go ahead and say O’Reilly did it himself. Why not? O’Reilly has no journalistic credibility and he’s got the biggest show on cable “news.” Perhaps we need to start making stuff up too!<\/p>\n

FURTHER UPDATE FROM BRAD 7\/17\/07:<\/i> Daily Kos’<\/a> “DarkSyde” responds directly to O’Reilly segment, patiently explaining exactly what Billo doesn’t grasp<\/a> about the progressive blogosphere. “ShaunMcDonnell,” a dKos diarist who claims to be a “Right-Leaning Lurker” takes O’Reilly to task<\/a> for his hit piece calling it “easy” and a “cheap shot”. And Kos himself posts a few of the pieces of hate mail<\/a> (ironically enough) from O’Reilly’s fans that he’s received since the story ran yesterday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
