"There's a very secret plan ... to diminish Christian philosophy in the U.S.A."

O'Reilly at it again.

Man I love MediaMatters!

According to O'Reilly, the "secular progressive" movement has three elements:

First, progressive financiers George Soros and Peter Lewis "pour money into the ACLU , they pour money into the smear websites, you know, they buy up a lot of media time."
Second, "the ACLU is their legal arm. ... he ACLU runs around the country suing everybody and intimidating people."
Third, "the smear websites are their media arm."
O'Reilly said these three elements operate "in tandem":

O'REILLY: ou use your left-wing smear websites to go after anybody who stands up for Christmas. If you stand up for Christmas, they come after you. So the tandem intimidates. The tandem intimidates. Suing on one hand; smearing on the other hand.

The result? According to O'Reilly:

O'REILLY: In every secular progressive country, they've wiped out religion ... Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, all of them. That's the first step. Get the religion out of there, so that we can impose our big-government, progressive agenda.

Media Matters has already documented O'Reilly's theory that Soros and Lewis are "the money men behind the secular curtain." In fact, he has called for a "coalition of the willing to fight against this secular movement" and has posted an online list of "media operations have regularly helped distribute defamation and false information supplied by far left websites."

Then, on the November 29 broadcast of The Radio Factor, O'Reilly continued his condemnation of "blatant propaganda spit out there on a daily basis by hateful liars, picked up by the mainstream media, and rammed down the public's throat." This time, referencing media coverage of the Iraq war, O'Reilly exclaimed, "It's dishonest, it hurts the country -- and I'm going to bring those people down. Mark my words." Further explicating his "coalition of the willing," O'Reilly continued, "And that's what I was talking about last night in the coalition of the willing. We're going to go after those people where they live."

That's, "Sexual Deviant Bill O'Reilly"...

and an Anti-Semite too.

1. And we all know how "Christian" O'Reilly himself is.

He only uses loofahs as sex toys after they've been blessed.

2. O'Reilly is Father Coughlin reincarnated

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Coughlin

Quotes:
On Nov. 20, 1938, two weeks after Kristallnacht, when Jews across Germany were attacked and killed, and Jewish businesses and homes burned, Coughlin blamed the Jewish victims, saying that "Jewish persecution only followed after Christians first were persecuted."

"Additionally, after 1936, Father Coughlin began supporting an organization called the Christian Front, which claimed him as an inspiration. In January, 1940, the Christian Front was shut down when the FBI discovered Christian Front was arming itself and preparing to attack Jewish targets and the Federal Reserve and eventually establish, in Herbert Hoover's words, "a dictatorship, similar to the Hitler dictatorship in Germany." Coughlin publicly stated after the plot was discovered that he still did not "disassociate himself from the movement," and though he was never linked directly to the plot, his reputation suffered. (New York Times, Jan 22, 1940)"

3. It would be amusing, except there are so many people who buy into it.

4. wish someone would pour money into me

where's my check

:shrug:

O'Lielly is such a nutcase

[sinkingfeeling]

5. In all seriousness, where did O'Reilly come from? It seems he

has no concept of history (or reality). Does he have any education? I for one, never knew that Stalin's Russia, Nazi Germany, or Cuba were considered 'secular progressive' countries! But, where is his bio?

[Norquist Nemesis]

6. He's spent too many drunken nights in front of Pat Robertson

and Jerry Falwell.

So, how exactly does one demand the psychological help for this man that he so obviously and desperately needs!

[Yollam]

7. Stalin & Hitler were "progressive"?

And didn't Hitler LOVE to use God, Country and the church as propaganda tools?

O'lielly Lies yet again!

[trotsky]

17. Hitler made abortion illegal and wanted religion in schools.

Yeah, really progressive there.

[LisaLynne]

8. These people should try being part of a ...

real minority religion or philosophy for a while and get over their persecution complex. Or better yet, try being an atheist for a day. People like O'Lielly and those he panders to for ratings seem to think that if everyone doesn't spout their exact views all the time, they are being discriminated against. Just not so, people. Time to grow up. People have differing opinions and because they do, it is NOT -- I repeat, NOT -- an attack on your opinions and beliefs. It's called dealing with the real, adult world. Try it.

[Loonman]

9. MM and Brock are not "smearing" him at all

MediaMatters always has everything in context, audio, video and transcript.

Truth is not a smear.

10. o'reilly's fatwah for jihad.

[Caution]

11. wow that's almost as nutty as the 9/11 CTs out there

[Caution]

12. double post

[Tamarin]

13. What is he yammering about, he wanted to cheat on his wife.

with a falafel.

[MindPilot]

14. Very secret my ass!!

It super DOUBLE secret. I hope he doesn't find out about the gay agenda.:yoiks:

[MindPilot]

15. self-delete -- accidental double post eom

[SillyGoose]

16. He needs some serious couch time with a shrink.

He's really off his rocker here. I'll bet he thinks Howard Dean is hiding under his bed, too.

[triguy46]

18. Wipe out religion? There's 120 churches listed in our phone book,

for a community of 40,000. I quit counting at 120. How exactly is religion being harmed? If we've wiped out religion, how come there is still so much of it around?

What church does he belong to?

[kenny blankenship]

19. Is he imploding?

Seems like he's responding to a change in sentiment like he knows only paranoid fundamentalist types are going to listen to him anymore, and he needs to solidify his standing with them.

[SpiralHawk]

20. Full Demagogue Mode - O'Rielly is Totally There

And I expect far more -- and far more viscious -- Demagoguery from him in the months ahead.

he is calling out the True Believers to Get All Funky and Kick Some Ass.

He may well -- alas -- succeed in stiring up further the Shitpot of Hate.

But this, too, shall pass. And Mr. O'Reilly will come to learn how sick he is and how much worse he has made the world. This is how it ever is.

[RandomKoolzip]

21. Funny how O'Reilly never mentions Scaife, Coors, or Rev. Moon.

You'd think George Soros was the head of the KGB the way some rightists talk. Plus, Soros has poured a couple million into left wing causes, while the right's sugar daddies have poured in.....what? Tens of billions of dollars over thirty years?!

Obviously, it's not the fact that a few groups on the left get an occasional check from Soros. It's the competition that galls O'Reilly.

[ck4829]

27. Right on.

[Midnight Rambler]

22. Ahem... Gott Mitt Uns = God is with us

How exactly is that secular?

[Initech]

23. Man, the hypocrisy meter is off the scale!

First, progressive financiers George Soros and Peter Lewis "pour money into the ACLU , they pour money into the smear websites, you know, they buy up a lot of media time."

The ACLU has been known to do some good from time to time!

Second, "the ACLU is their legal arm. ... he ACLU runs around the country suing everybody and intimidating people."

Huh?

Third, "the smear websites are their media arm."

O'Reilly should know. He runs one!

O'Reilly said these three elements operate "in tandem":

O'REILLY: ou use your left-wing smear websites to go after anybody who stands up for Christmas. If you stand up for Christmas, they come after you. So the tandem intimidates. The tandem intimidates. Suing on one hand; smearing on the other hand.

*COUGH* Bullshit! *COUGH*

The result? According to O'Reilly:

O'REILLY: In every secular progressive country, they've wiped out religion ... Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, all of them. That's the first step. Get the religion out of there, so that we can impose our big-government, progressive agenda.

OK, he also left out... um half of modern Europe! And most of those guys are already dead anyways...

Then, on the November 29 broadcast of The Radio Factor, O'Reilly continued his condemnation of "blatant propaganda spit out there on a daily basis by hateful liars, picked up by the mainstream media, and rammed down the public's throat."

OK, you're probably thinking - where am I going with this? Am I going to call O'Reilly a hypocritical douchebag? Am I going to point out that he himself is a hateful liar who's been picked up by the mainstream media and rammed down the public's throat? Am I going to make a joke about his "no spin zone" which is nothing more than a crock of shit? Or am I going to post a link to his blacklist? Instead I'm going to point out that he's a hateful liar and a major propagandist who works for a news channel that's been banking off of people's stupidity for the last ten years.

This time, referencing media coverage of the Iraq war, O'Reilly exclaimed, "It's dishonest, it hurts the country -- and I'm going to bring those people down. Mark my words."

Who? The democrats or the republicans?

Further explicating his "coalition of the willing," O'Reilly continued, "And that's what I was talking about last night in the coalition of the willing. We're going to go after those people where they live."

Go ahead, the "coalition of the willing" doesnt see you as a threat, O'Reilly. At least it's not like you're a legitimate source of news that people turn to for truth and information on a daily basis anyways...

[applegrove]

24. Yeah! The neocons are the ones who are remaking Xtianity. Its all

gay all the time. It is scapegoating. It is not humble and it is not about love. It isn't about getting onto your knees and helping those who suffer. It is about attacking Chavez cause he is in a rich country and wants to see that rich be spread to the 70% of the population who are still poor - after 50 years of being a rich country.

All neocons do is project - project - project.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

25. Personally, I LIKE the idea of no religion.

But that's just me.

[Loonman]

26. I always ask 3 questions when Christians claim persecution

1) Has your Church been locked up, the priests put in jail?

2) Has your Bible been taken away from you?

3) If you prayed in your house, will the government swoop in and send you to a death camp?

No?

Then STFU, you crybaby wimp!

[PurgedVoter]

28. "There's a very secret plan ... to diminish Christian philosophy in the U.

I believe this. O'Reilly would know. After all, he is one of the first to receive the talking points. However it is not Soros and Lewis, they are too busy trying to fight the darkness. It is Pat Robert's, and the rest of the televangelist thieves that are diminishing Christian philosophy. Philosophers discuss and think, these folk insist, demand and obscure. They honestly want Christian Philosophy to die. O'Reilly is part of the plot.

[freestyle]

29. Who are these insecure losers?

I'm a Christian. I have absolutely no need to have my faith affirmed by the government or by any corporation. What kind of insecure idiot loser is scared that following the Constitution, or practicing decent customer service, will lead to purges of the faithful. Also, religion is doing just fine in Cuba, and is regulated, but practiced, in China. Hitler used Christianity quite well to advance his agenda. They are right about Stalin. He wanted people to worship him.

[Loonman]

30. Apparently they never heard of the Pharisees

That verse from Matthew is brilliant.
