Mount a Monday; make yourself known. Come CAPTION your favorite fair-and-balanced fecal clown!!!



Bill (I never let definitions stand in my way) O'Reilly is saying: "As I said almost four years ago now, on the occasion of Obama's victory, we will not demonize him here at The Factor . . . . And I stand by that still! . . . No qualifications. . . . Even after he has dragged down this country, trying to achieve third-world status. . . . Even after he has all but destroyed our culture, demoralized capitalism, sapped our strength, stolen our resolve, gutted the space program, twisted our youth, defecated on our will, alienated our foreign friends while giving aid and comfort to our enemies, and took all our hard earned money in order to redistribute it to beggars, spendthrifts, and thieves!!! . . . But no matter what, we'll give him fair-and-balanced treatment here on The Factor!!"

If so, let me be the first to demonize him properly. I would go so far as to say he's an actual demon.

many of us try to channel the essence of the person in question. . . . Here all I did was expose the hypocrisy of his "non-demonization" statement (which he real said) with O'Reilly's later sentiments (sometimes expressed almost this crassly)>

We often try to be subtle, copying the speech patterns and phrasal tics, which is why some mistake our CAPTIONs for actual statements. In fact it's hard to satirize someone who is into a parody of the most meager aspects of themselves. That's also a reason for the common mistake.

Here's a link to his non-demonizing statement from 2008 from DU's video section:
