Is O'Reilly a Nazi? Just Asking
by Robert Parry
June 3, 2006

If someone else had done what Fox News star Bill O’Reilly did the other day – malign American troops who fought in the Battle of the Bulge and at Iwo Jima – it’s hard to imagine how ugly the Fox News reaction would be.

Think of how vicious the attacks from Fox News and right-wing commentators were on Sen. Dick Durbin for citing FBI criticism of detainee abuse at Guantanamo, or the smears against Dan Rather and other journalists who helped expose the scandal at Abu Ghraib, or the ugly campaign to boycott the Dixie Chicks for criticizing George W. Bush.

If one of those “usual liberal suspects” had said something one-tenth as offensive as O’Reilly’s remarks, Fox News surely would have offered up one of its loaded questions, like “Is (fill in the blank) Anti-American or Just Blinded by Hatred of Our Troops?”

But it’s hard to imagine any comments as outrageous as O’Reilly’s loose talk about war crimes supposedly committed by U.S. Army forces fighting in Belgium and by U.S. Marines in the bloody battle at Iwo Jima.

2. O'Leilly is a staunch neocon/fundie - neocons will lie about.............
.....anything and everything because they have absolutely no conscience or sense of honor about or toward anything but their party lies. They are the party of devils in sheep clothing. So to compare OLeilly to a Nazi would be to insult the Nazi's - not that Nazi's don't deserve to be insulted and deionized but come on - but come on O'Leilly isn't that good.

4. he's a nazipooh...
there's a suttle (lol) difference between a nazi and a nazipooh, besides the spellin.....a nazi emerges from despair and rage and frustration (ww1) when a proud nation was defeated by arrogant wormy west (brit/france/usa) who then extorted reparation from the broken ruins and...blah blah blah! A nazipooh is produced in the richest nation/society ever to exist, and his madness is not at external wenemies (whicxh are actually just tools for the nazipoohs) but at his fellow citizens who like a good time and value integrity and generosity of spirit and believe humanity can be made better if the people are treated better etc - nothing pisses a nazipooh off like the idea that everyone gets a share of the national wealth, or has 'civil rights' that must be honoured, or is equal to the nazipoohs in any way (most nazipoohs posses certain genes that gave them historical advantages which moxdern society started to pooh pooh back in the 60's!)
There is alot more to the 'nazipooh' but if one watches a rat killeat a baby, you see it in its purest form and will understand bill oreilly better then his mudder who

5. He's a blinking bully with a sex problem.
The only real question, why do people watch him?

I thick he dreams of being Robo, his own character who smokes crack and demands oral sex.

8. Anyone who hasn't watched this clip of Olbermann on C&L needs to now.
Olbermann exposes O'Reilly on Malmedy:

Of course, this was just too powerful and as a result, the Swiftboating of Keith Olbermann has already begun.
