Today's All-Spin Zone: NBC gave O'Reilly forum to compare advocates of withdrawal from Iraq to Hitler appeasers


Fox News host Bill O'Reilly appeared on the November 30 broadcast of NBC's Today -- his second appearance on the program in roughly a month -- deriding as "pinheads" those who have called for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq and comparing them to Nazi appeasers. While O'Reilly was slandering millions of Americans, Today obligingly included an on-screen graphic reading "No Spin Zone" -- the self-aggrandizing nickname O'Reilly has given to his Fox News program, The O'Reilly Factor. Rather than challenging O'Reilly's comparison of those who favor withdrawal from Iraq -- such as Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA), a decorated Vietnam veteran and former Marine -- to Hitler appeasers, or asking O'Reilly to respond to arguments in favor of withdrawal, Today host Katie Couric lobbed O'Reilly a softball, asking "What is your biggest fear about a premature withdrawal?"

From the November 30 broadcast of NBC's Today:


O'REILLY: I have no idea. That's what I want to know. I don't want to know he needs another $4 billion to train these people. I want to know why they're not trained already. We've been training them for almost three years.

See, these are the kinds of things that Americans have to hone in on. Not the rhetoric that's written by 15 guys in a room, saying they're going to win the war. I want them to win the war. It's a disaster for the country if we don't do well in Iraq. It's a disaster for the world if we don't do well. These pinheads running around going, "Get out of Iraq now," don't know what they're talking about. These are the same people before Hitler invaded in World War II that were saying, "Ah, he's not such a bad guy." They don't get it.

Interesting.

Nope, I guess not ...

3. Actually the isolationists in World War 2 were mostly Republicans

But I suppose that's neither here nor there.

5. Do people *still care* what this fuck-stick thinks?

[Loonman]

7. Yes

Irresponsible talk should always be addressed.


Because we all know, bullies see the error of their ways and leave you alone if you just ignore them.

10. sadly yes

I had some local fuck-stick repeat this argument just today. I love/hate seeing the immediate regurgitation from the freeptards.

6. If O'Anus was a human being I'd even be surprised...

Since he's a dog with rabies, it hardly means anything to me. He's gonna live the last years of his life begging for food scraps on a street corner and begging for hookers to loofah his filthy arse.

8. God, if only O'Lielly's parents

had had a "premature withdrawal".
