Bill O'Reilly thinks that "Howard Dean should resign today."

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,154294,00.html

For years, we've been telling you there's something very wrong at the Los Angeles Times and that Howard Dean is an irresponsible person. Today, those two situations crystallized. First, The Times. The editorial director took what I think is a very cheap shot against the Catholic Church. Writing about a local statue controversy in Venice, California, Kinsley began the editorial this way.

Quote, "The College of Cardinals elected an ultraconservative pope earlier this week, under a ceiling replete with genitals, breasts and buttocks that apparently gave no offense. Good thing Michelangelo painted his Sistine Chapel masterpieces in Rome and not Venice — California, that is." Now if Kinsley had referenced Islam or Judaism that way, he might be out of a job right now. But denigrating a Christian religion for absolutely no reason is perfectly acceptable at the L.A. Times. Now, I guess I could be overreacting, but I just think this is outrageous.

And then there's Howard Dean. Speaking at an ACLU (search) benefit, the head of the Democratic Party mocked commentator Rush Limbaugh (search) and pantomimed him snorting cocaine. We'll play you some of that in just a few moments. Like Kinsley, Dean did this for absolutely no reason other than to denigrate Mr. Limbaugh, and that's immature and irresponsible. Once again, imagine the head of the Republican Party did something like that to a prominent Democrat. You'd hear the screaming all the way from Hollywood to Boston. "Talking Points" is well aware that ideological bomb throwers on both sides do stuff like this all the time in order to make money. Smearing pays well in America and these media guttersnipes are all over the place. But Kinsley and Dean are in positions of responsibility. They are not gadflies. If a major newspaper editor and the head of the DNC are allowed to use their power to injure and insult, then this country is in big trouble.

Dean and Kinsley should both resign today. They have smeared before, but they won't resign because they can get away with their tactics. And here's the last line on this. Catholic bashing has become acceptable in the American media, and character assassination is now a legitimate political weapon for the likes of Howard Dean. Shameful. And that's "The Memo."

[MrModerate]

1. I however, think Bill O'Reilly should put a Roman candle . . .

Up his ass backwards and belch sparks for a week.

I feel it very strongly, so that must make it a meaningful statement of policy and principle.

[KarenS]

5. ohmy,,,, I was going to reply with an idea for Bill O'Reilly BUT

this is so much better than my idea

:rofl:

[calimary]

7. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

I'm gasping for breath!!!

I am recommending this thread JUST for that comment ALONE!

OMG!

Too bad we can't get him a "Pants Pilot" like Jimmy Kimmel once modeled on "The Man Show." You strap it onto your backside and it allows you to light your farts. They even turned the lights down for that one. I laughed til I choked.

:D :D :D :D :D :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Cha]

18. What a terrific suggestion!

bo looks like he has already taken you up on that!

[FreedomAngel82]

27. Can bill O'Reilly resign?

Unlike O'Reilly Dean was elected by people to lead the party. Too fucking bad O'Reilly. Sit down and shut up.

[Joebert]

2. What color is the sky in his world? n/t

[bonzotex]

3. O'Lielly is too easy, the parody writes itself.

How does anybody take this guy seriously?

[GOPBasher]

4. He criticizes Dean for doing that. What about when Limbaugh

says horrible things about liberals, gays, liberals, Jews, liberals, blacks and liberals? Yeah, he's "fair and balanced, all right." :eyes:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

10. Limbaugh: "Blow jobs, that's what they're doing out there"...

But THAT's OK, because he's a PROMINENT REPUBLICAN.

HERE, Uncle Rush. Have a Scooby Snack.

LIMBAUGH: When does he start up this stupid little network? August? Yip yip yip yahoo. You know what Gore said about this? It's going to be liberal. It's going to reflect the point of view of young people.

What the hell is that, Al? What the hell is the point of view of young people? Blow jobs, that's what they're doing out there. They're out there getting oral sex all day long, that's what they're talking about. That's the point of view they can't wait that your boss ...

Al made sure that's become the number one sport in high school today. So, I guess you're going to have a BJ network out there, Al, is that what you're going to do? You're going to call your network the oral sex channel out there, start competing with MTV?

No, it's not going to have any of this stuff out there, folks, it's going to be talking about liberalism, no, no, no, that's not what we're about. Classic cannot even admit who he is.

[Zhade]

66. My question is, did Dean even DO this?

It's not like O'Reilly isn't a big friggin' LIAR or anything. How do we know this is even true?

[janx]

67. We don't. We have no idea, really. n/t

[Zhade]

69. Considering O'Reilly's track record, I'd say it DIDN'T until proven.

NT!

[wtmusic]

6. Imagine someone denigrating Rush Limbaugh!

O'Reilly is an analretentive, insecure, dildo-wielding nitwit

[Cha]

20. OMG!

That smell conditioner!:rofl:

[sonicx]

8. Dean should mock Falafel-boy next.

[wtmusic]

12. That's what he's afraid of

O'Reilly's falafel-ness has still not made the MSM, and Dean's just the man to get the word out!

[kaitykaity]

9. Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.

This is all they've got -- whining how "unfair" it all is.

Geez, what a short memory. Threatening judges with violence
is a hell of a lot worse than pantomiming cocaine use.

[Nite Owl]

11. They can give it

but they can't take it. What babies.

[FreedomAngel82]

29. So true

When someone slams one of us and they hit back they start whining and playing victim. Oy. It gets really old.

[Journeyman]

13. Anything signed in a newspaper is an opinion piece, not an editorial...

and so does not reflect the opinion of the paper but of the individual. Any first year journalism student can tell you that, which speaks volumes about O'Reilly's understanding of the news business and how it works.

I searched through the freely available archives at the LA Times and can't find any such piece by Michael Kinsley in the past week and a half.

Maybe, since O'Reilly makes up his knowledge of how a newspaper functions, he makes up his own newspapers as well.

[fishwax]

73. Exactly. And I don't really see how it's anti-Catholic either

at least, not the paragraph he quoted. :shrug:

[rumpel]

14. I don't consider Limbaugh "prominent", and isn't Limbaugh's middle

name "Smear"?

[Lord_StarFyre]

15. Ah, Mr O'Lielly, so denegrating someone is...

"immature and irresponsible"? Isn't that what Hillybilly Heroin Limpballs does Every Day?

Now, Bill, bubby, why don't you go settle down, with a nice Loofa, and have a cold tall glass of Shut The Fuck Up...

[rocktivity]

16. Two problems, Shrill--I mean, Bill

1) The College of Cardinals DID elect an ultraconservative pope, and the Sistine Chapel ceiling IS replete with genitals, breasts and buttocks.

2) Rush Limbaugh IS a junkie--though technically, Dean should have pantomimed him popping pills.

:headbang:
rocknation

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

24. But...but...he's a BRAVE junkie who BRAVELY conquered his demons...

You DO know the MAIN reason Al Franken HATES this fat fuck, right?

When Jerry Garcia died, Limbaugh made comments to the effect of "Jerry Garcia was a hippie and a drug addict and now he's dead, and that's what he DESERVES."

Not a quote, but I heard Franken do this rant several times and it's close enough to what was actually said.

When it was Rush's turn to enter rehab (which is where Garcia...sadly...died), the freepers acted as if it were the Virgin Mary giving birth to the Baby Jesus. They were praying, they were wringing the hands and gnashing the teeth.

What's good for the goose is good for the fat-assed gander. Limbaugh believed that junkies deserve whatever happens to them? GOOD. That's what I want to hear.

[rocktivity]

43. Are you familar with Rxush?

http://www.campchaos.com/show.php?iID=201

The band like it so much, they provided the music sample!

:headbang:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

44. Oh man, that just works on SO MANY LEVELS...

Thanks for the link. That's what I'd call on-target satire.

:toast:

[steelyboo]

70. nah, he got it right. Anyone who has abused Oxy's knows you get a WAY

better buzz crushing it up and snorting it than taking them orally. Im sure if Rush saw it, he would approve.:)

[rocktivity]

72. I stand corrected, then

And being a doctor, it makes sense that Dean would know that, come to think of it.

:headbang:
rocknation

[Cha]

17. I wanna know why

bo hasn't resigned or been fired? Sexual harrassment should be grounds for getting canned in a moral society..oh, wait..we're talking about faux sux.

Go Dean..why ever bo thinks you should resign is actually one of the reasons I'm so glad you are the Chairman of the Democratic Party.

Those hypocrites over at faux should be pitied and censored!

[FrenchieCat]

19. Bill O'Reilly thinks?

That in itself is News!

[jefferson_dem]

21. What a fucking dickhead. How O'Lielly has ANY credibility left is beyond

amazing.

[La Coliniere]

22. But thousands of....

morally deficit repugs at their dispicable hate fest of a convention this summer can mock the heroism and courage of a true patriot with their purple heart band-aid stunt, and O'Reilly and his ilk think its fair game. He's a hypocritical, smug gas bag. When can we light that wick?

[karynnj]

23. Imagine the Republicans did this to a prominent Democrat?

I don't need any imagination. Last year's campaign will suffice. Many many things they accused our candidate for President (obviously more important than a talk show host) were not true and worse than taking cocaine. They have called a man who has served his country for over 35 years, a traitor and FOR POLITICAL ENDS, they pushed his church to punish him. All for the sin of running against Bush.

Their entire convention was a hate fest where Kerry's record, character, and family were vilified. Teresa, who the Republicans wanted to run for Senate and who has received considerable praise for her work with the Heinz foundation, saw her foundations work distorted and her character and personality smeared mostly for the crime of marrying Kerry.

[Todd B]

25. Oh for god sakes...

Once again, imagine the head of the Republican Party did something like that to a prominent Democrat.

Umm, I seem to remember that went on for EIGHT DAMN YEARS when Clinton was in office.. but, you know them Republicans and their selective memories. I'm shocked though - Howard Dean was speaking in front of the ACLU and Bill O'Reilly didn't go off on one of his incoherant, babbling rants like he usually does.

The meer fact that it got O'Reilly underroos in a bunch is good enough for me - go Dean go!

[AntiCoup2K4]

26. So O'Reichly is whining because Dean picked on poor wittle crackhead Rush?

And how many times did YOU play the digitally enhanced "scream", Bill?

[sandnsea]

28. Wasn't this already posted?

Why help O'Reilly spread his trash. I'll never understand that.

[janx]

30. THE GOOD TIMES ARE JUST BEGINNING!

Dems are no longer afraid!

YEEAAARRGHHHH!

[Triana]

31. He THINKS??? Oh, there's a revelation! (n/t)

[nickgutierrez]

32. O'Reilly has forged an entire career on character assassination.

And I don't really see where the line from the LA Times constitutes an attack on Christians. If anything, it's an attack on the people who object to the statue, unless I'm missing something.

[kevinmc]

33. Here's what I Say.........

(1) Write pervert Bill O'Reilly. Remind him what a Dumb-ass Phone Sex Whanker he is.

Bill O’Reilly: [email protected]


(2) Write FOX and remind them how O'Reilly is a Dumb-ass Phone Sex Whanker.

FOX NEWS: [email protected]

[Neverarepublican]

34. Bill O'Reilly

Just SHUT UP!

[d_b]

35. You silly, tired twat.

[kenny blankenship]

36. O'Reilly should be listed as a REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER -nt

[Roland99]

37. That's assuming Limbaugh is a prominent Republican

As it is, he's an overweight drug addict.

Oh, and O'Reilly is a pathological liar. He sure likes throwing stones in glass houses, eh?

[Sparkly]

38. After what they did to John Kerry?!?!?

On Kinsley's editorial: That looked to me like an opening to criticism of Venice for being puritanical about something or censoring something, NOT a criticism of Catholics. I could be wrong, but that'd be my guess.

About Dean: Bill just promoted Rush to a level equal to "a prominent Democrat" -- and we've seen how far they'll go for "character assassination" against a prominent Democrat!! What Dean did, if in fact he did it, doesn't even come close.

Fuckwads!!! :mad:

[Kipepeo]

39. shoe on the other foot

O'Lielly says: "Once again, imagine the head of the Republican Party did something like that to a prominent Democrat. You'd hear the screaming all the way from Hollywood to Boston."

I'd like to ask him to imagine what would happen if a prominent left-wing media-shill (well, first he'd have to imagine that one existed) sexually harassed his female co-workers and described in intimate detail what he'd do to her breasts with a falafel...hell, you'd hear the screaming all the way from Houston to Atlanta!

[Beacho]

40. German High Command To Allies:

Eisenhower should resign immediatly!

[Jade Fox]

41. The Right wing nuts hate it when we make good fun out of them...

Dean was probably pretty funny mocking old Rush. That's likely what's
really frosting Bill.

Our side is funny. When people like Limbaugh and Coulter try to be funny,
they come off mean and facistic. And not funny.

[ArnoldLayne]

52. Aw poor baby Dean probably hurt his little feelings maybe

Daryn can confort him now. :nopity:

[soleft]

42. Hyprocracy that bad should be punishable by law

[Dr Ron]

45. OK--Everyone who engages in smears must resign immediately

We'd have far more people still standing after this rule was enforced. O'Leilly and What-a-Rush Limbaugh would be the first to go.

[Sapphire Blue]

46. "Bill O'Reilly thinks..." - an oxymoron if I ever heard one!

[tinfoilinfor2005]

47. Such a legend in his own mind.

Amazes me how he has room in there to "think".

[DearAbby]

48. Awwww....I am playing the worlds smallest violin."my heart bleeds for you"

:rofl:

[shance]

49. Looks like its time to get that DNC bat out*** You keep on crying Bill!!

Thanks for posting.

[applegrove]

50. Oreilly can't stand his party's hypocrisy being written or talked about

Way to go Kinsley & Dean. Keep up the good work. It is fine to make fun of somebodies hypocrisy - if they are changing laws to make the poor desperate and the middle class poor. The parts of the political machine should be ready to stand accountable. If they cannot, then they should get out of politics.

Fact is - Dean held back. It should have been President Bush he mocked with the cocaine sniffing.

[ArnoldLayne]

51. So then it's alright when Rush Limpdick once refered to 12 year

old Chelsea Clinton as the White House dog. Even Howard Stern came out against Oxy Limpballs for that cruel remark about a child. :grr: :grr:

[agincourt]

53. Kudos to Dean,

for showing that defecating pig no respect. That sow's anus should be doing time. It's sickening how many people do time for drugs and that turd gets to prance around in Jeb Bush's province. Now to come up with a pantomime for Bill O'Reilly doing phone sex.

[bklyncowgirl]

59. Dean should make a comment about O'Reilly and then toss a loofa around

Felafel would be much too messy.

[Skittles]

54. go eat some falafel O'Reilly, you disgusting piece of shit

what a turd

[Pepperbelly]

65. Falafel, sez O'Really ...

I'd hit that.

[blueblitzkrieg]

55. Faux News is one big nasty smear!

This asshole has NO room ro talk. The complete lies they crank out against Democrats every single day on their network are too numerous to count. SO STFU Bill.

[Missy Vixen]

56. Gosh. Color me shocked.

It's too bad that Howard Dean didn't read aloud the transcript of Bill's Bogus Phone Sex Journey from www.thesmokinggun.com. I'm sure it would have been much more educational than talking about OxyRush. I know that millions still don't realize that a falafel and a loofah sponge are interchangeable terms.

Howard Dean is too busy rebuilding the Democratic Party and getting folks on the ground and organized for the upcoming 2006 election to give a rat's furry ass what Bill O'Really thinks about anything.

GOOOO Howard, you're getting to them!

[cherkepaa41]

57. naked pictures in cathedral (o'reilly)

There are pictures of naked bodies in a lot of cathedrals. It is called art. I believe that they help to bring forth pediphile cravings of some of the priests. I also think the reason those priests are not kicked out of the churches most of the time is other priests have a lot of "sinful" cravings but do not act upon them or maybe just don't get caught

[Warren DeMontague]

58. ... And then, I fucked a falafel.

Shut up, you arrogant piece of self-righteous poop.

[OneTwentyoNine]

60. A smear?? O'Reilly basically said that Sen Condit was a murderer in 2001..

Nah,not a smear just the facts. Oh,wait...I guess it turned out that Condit DIDN'T MURDER Leavy,but I didn't see or hear of any O'Reilly retraction from him and that fucking nazi network that employs his sorry ass.

Shut the fuck up Bill and go harrass another employee of FOX. They might want a $800,000 condo also.

[Vickers]

61. I can't believe Dean hasn't resigned.

I mean c'mon, Bill O'Reilly wants him to resign. He should do it!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[janx]

62. This almost makes me want to watch O'R just for some more

laughs! :rofl:

When was Dean's ACLU appearance, anyway? :rofl:

[dkofos]

63. I'm sure

That when howard picks himself off the floor from laughing so hard
he will tell BO

FUCK YOU

and fall to the floor luaghing hysterically again.

[AlCzervik]

64. this is really about Dean not giving loofah boy the time of day

Dean won't appear on his show because he thinks O'Reilly is a piece of shit windbag and O'Reilly hasn't gotten over it.

[janx]

68. Between this thread and the Hannity vs. Hillary thread,

I'm having a hard time breathing because I'm laughing so hard!

[Idioteque]

71. Oh God O'reilly is asking for it...

...here is what Dean should say at his next public appearence.

"So I heard Bill O'reilly is kind of mad about my Rush Limbaugh impression. I'm okay with that. He can call me if he wants to talk about it man to man. I just hope he knows that I'm hanging up if I hear 'So Howard, what are you wearing?'"

[Lori Price CLG]

74. And O'Lie-y should be tried for treason today! n/t

[bunkerbuster1]

75. Dean's using his "power to injure and insult", you say?

we'll just have some more of that, then!
