O’Reilly: ‘Far Left Loons’ Are Linking Fox News With O.J. Interview On Orders From ‘Their Internet Masters’
O’Reilly: ‘Far Left Loons’ Are Linking Fox News With O.J. Interview On Orders From ‘Their Internet Masters’
On Thursday, ThinkProgress noted that Bill O’Reilly — trying to distance himself from Fox’s upcoming interview with O.J. Simpson — falsely claimed “Fox Broadcasting has nothing to do with the Fox News Channel.” In fact, the two entites have the same chairman (Roger Ailes), the same owner (Rupert Murdoch) and Fox Broadcasting regularly airs Fox News content.
Last night, Bill O’Reilly attacked the “far left loons” who are linking Fox News with the O.J. Simpson interview. According to O’Reilly, these people are “kool-aid zombies” who are “doing the bidding of far left fanatics who will do anything to disparage me and FNC.” Watch it:
Oddly, O’Reilly attacked the New York Times and CBS for not covering the story. Apparently, the appropriate response to an interview O’Reilly calls “a low point in American culture” is to lavish media attention on it. At least that is what Fox News is doing.
Transcript:
Hi, I’m Bill O’Reilly. Thank you for watching us tonight. The media reacts to the O.J. Simpson debacle. That is the subject of this evening’s “Talking Points Memo.”
The so-called elite media is tiptoeing around the fact that Simpson’s being paid millions to exploit the murders of his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman, murders he probably committed.
The New York Times covered the story in its business section. “CBS Evening News” didn’t even mention it for the first two days. But the tabloid press and cable news are fully engaged.
The far left loons are also out in force as their Internet masters urge them to tie the FOX News channel in with the Simpson situation. I’ve received scores of letters like this one from Fred in Indianapolis.
“Mr. O’Reilly, you are a man of principle. Since Fox News is sponsoring the Simpson program, will you sever your ties with Fox News?”
Obviously Fred is a bit slow. FOX News has nothing to do with the Simpson situation. And Fred doesn’t believe I am a man of principle either. He’s a Kool-Aid zombie doing the bidding of far left fanatics who will do anything to disparage me and FNC.

Judd, you are my internet master…I am here to do your bidding…please pass the kool-aid…
November 18th, 2006 at 12:12 pmAnd there’s the Harper Collins/Regan Books/Newscorp connection, too. Judith Regan was one of Bernie Kerik’s girlfriends. Remember Bernie?
November 18th, 2006 at 12:19 pmBO is mad because he realizes there are spies at FOX who are going to bring it down one internal memo at a time. Follow the $$$. Propagandizing to the little people is illegal.
November 18th, 2006 at 12:21 pmO’Reilly is sinking fast. The guy is getting downright bizarre.
November 18th, 2006 at 12:27 pmIf there were ever a competent and unimpeachable identifier of Loons it would be O’Lielly. He’s been looking at one every morning for the last 60+ years. If he says he’s seeing Loons, we’d best believe him.
Whatever division’s within Faux hierarchy O’Lielly might want to hallucinate about, it’s one company under Rupert Murdoch and that’s the end of that BS. Shill Bill may be feeling possessive about his propaganda machine but it’s just one big swamp.
November 18th, 2006 at 12:27 pmThink Progress has seemed to be a thorn in Bill Oreilly’s side for quite some time. I noticed Bill attacks the websites character instead of attacking their message anytime he makes a reference to the “internet masters”.
I have been visiting ThinkProgress daily for about one year now for checks and balances on news stories and I also tune in the the “Radio Factor” maybe acouple times a week for enteretainment purposes. I just want to thank Think Progress for always setting the spin straight and I also wanted to thank Bill Oreilly for entertaining me.
Thank you both
November 18th, 2006 at 12:34 pmhe’s frickin nuts.
yeah, FOX & FOX NEWS have NOTHING WHATSOEVER in common!!!
i dont think even FOX viewers are dumb enough to believe that!!!

They are…
November 18th, 2006 at 12:40 pmThis idiot doesn’t blink when he cashes his Fox paycheck every 2 weeks and has the balls to criticize bloggers who are upset about this ’special’? They should put Bill-O’s picture next to the definition of “hypocrisy” in the dictionary.
November 18th, 2006 at 12:42 pmSo the Democratic Party is totally disorganized, yet the “Far Left Loons” are organized and follow orders.
Great logic from a great mind! Must think the the left is amirro reflection of the right wing model.
November 18th, 2006 at 12:44 pmBill O’Reilly is odious in every way–a fantasy rapist (read his own fiction) who took the leap from the word processor to the telephone, and cost himself millions of dollars in a legal settlement. Limbaugh has Oxycontin as his drug of choice. O’Reilly’s is probably the same as his spiritual forebear, Joe McCarthy.
My quarrel, however, is not over the content of what he says but with his vocabulary. The designation “far left” is badly corrupted by him and the rest of the Fux News crowd. They use it to marginalize anyone with an ounce more humanity than they possess themselves. In fact, there is no “far left” in the public square. You don’t hear anyone chanting things like, “property is theft” or “off the pigs” unless you happen to go to a May Day demonstration; you certainly never see or read anything about them in the media. Not one of the people they brand as far left has any interest in pulling down the capitalist system or threatening the public order.
So to O’Reilly, I can only say, paraphrasing the man himself, “Put down that pipe and shut the f*ck up.”
November 18th, 2006 at 12:47 pmDavid Brooks,
November 18th, 2006 at 12:49 pmThinkprogress never wrote about Democrats voting in favor of the Military Comissions Act. Thinkprogress will not be an example for cleaning up the Democratic party. Put down your torch.
Just accept FOX for what it is - yellow tabloid journalism.
November 18th, 2006 at 12:52 pmOJ and Fox are one in the same. Take it from there.
November 18th, 2006 at 12:52 pmjeff, get controll of your a.d.d.

Actually, Jeff, Think Progess may not have written about Republicans voting in favor of the Military Commission Act, either. It’s a sore spot for a lot of us here.
Put down your assholierthanthou attitude.
November 18th, 2006 at 12:55 pmJeff,
November 18th, 2006 at 12:55 pmI was not reffering to the Military Comissions Act and I never made a reference to ThinkProgess cleaning up the Democratic Party.
I was just noting my observations between Bill Oreilly and Think Progress
Bill O’really?’s statement is so farfetched it’s laughable. Ok Bill….sound like a dumba**. Go right ahead.

November 18th, 2006 at 1:02 pmUnderstood Mr Brooks, but now that it has come up – what was your reaction to the end of Habeas Corpus at His Majesties Pleasure in this country and how so many Democrats voted for it and how the establishment DLC media (thinkprogress) completely ignored it?
November 18th, 2006 at 1:05 pmI’m curious, how do you progressives feel about the OJ book deal?
November 18th, 2006 at 1:22 pmI’m curious – how many Progs and Progettes still believe OJ was framed by the police?
November 18th, 2006 at 1:24 pmGood golly, Jeff, I would’ve expected something more incendiary from you. How are you ever going to get your diploma from Troll U. with such lackluster comments like that?
At least get on the same page – we’re talking about Bill O doing the bidding of his Fox corp masters in hyping the OJ story in his own twisted manner. Actually, I’m giving him too much credit. I’m sure he’s doing EXACTLY what they told him to do.

Kevin, I wasn’t addressing you with that comment. Unless, of course, the Mighty Hag is your alter ego, then yes, I was addressing you.
As to your question about the OJ book. I’m glad he’s writing it. He’s not revealing anything unknown about himself, and the Brown family will finally get some of the money awarded to them in the civil case.
November 18th, 2006 at 1:49 pmWhat is this man smoking?
November 18th, 2006 at 1:50 pmIs O’Reilly attempting to be clever here? It’s like saying, “This interview (which airs at such and such a day and time) is disgusting and has nothing to do with Fox News. Fox News is a credible entity and should not be confused with Fox Broadcasting, the entity that will be airing the interview (which airs at such and such a day and time). Everyone should check out this interview (at such and such a day and time) to see a low point in media.

I imagine we’ll now see her other persona – Denny/Sybil now.

Several months ago, after I condemned MA for joking about a dead child he claimed, but had never mentioned before, a troll named Denny began trying to harrass me – claiming it was doing so to revenge a person that I had attacked. It later morphed into Sybil. It was funny most days, but obnoxious others.
November 18th, 2006 at 2:22 pmI admit to answering a question not with my own ideas. I admit to being an individualist. posed to me. (sorry MA) I admit I am my own person
November 18th, 2006 at 2:25 pmAnyone else find it creepy how FOX News so often prints the exact words on the screen as their host is saying out loud? What’s up with that? Especially on O’Reilly’s Talking Points segment – it’s like his viewers need to memorize his points, so they can make them later …

Kevin/Mighty Aphrodite,
I am even mor curious to know, how do conservatives feel about NewsCorporation -that paragon of conservative values- being involved in the interview, its broadcasting, and its publication as a book through several of its units (FauxBroadcasting, FauxNews, HarperCollins, and Regan Books)?
How do you feel about the same company that denounces and blames the “left” for the decline in American culture, contributing to that decline with shows of questionable value such as “Who wants to marry a millionaire”, “Cops”, “Blind Date”, “Family Guy”, etc.? (Not to mention the interview with OJ Simpson)
Inquiring minds want to know…

I don’t know, have to ask my “internet Masters” first. (obligatory /snark)
I think OJ did it. He was a serial wife abuser, from the court testimony. He was a jelous, possesive ass. I think he did it.
California courts and “celebrities” have a bad record of letting people get away with murder ( as well as spousal abuse and child sexual abuse ), for the rich and famous not the poor of course. Something really whacked about that. IMHO
Would you be one of those “for rich and famous only” lawyers, MA?

‘NYT’ Sunday Preview: Will Liberal Bloggers Sabotage Democrats? Plus: Safire’s History of ‘Netroots’
Published: November 16, 2006 5:15 PM ET
NEW YORK In an article in the upcoming Sunday edition of The New York Times Magazine, frequent contributor Matt Bai looks at the aftermath of the recent midterm elections. Yet he suggests that things may not be all that rosy for Democrats as voters seem suspicious of anyone who gains power in Washington, D.C.
In Bai’s view, the Dems have another possible problem: the very same liberal bloggers that helped make them the new majority in Congress.

I completly agree. The smears against those working on the case was utterly pathetic tactic by Cochran. The “race” card tactic was also VERY sad. Simpson should be rotting in a jail cell right now for the horrible things he did…
November 18th, 2006 at 2:36 pmNew Prog,
MA will say anything to elicit empathy.
That includes claiming to have had one of her children die on her. She’s so uncapable of actual feelings, though, she didn’t know to stop herself before making a flippant joke about said death.
November 18th, 2006 at 2:37 pmWayne

*****Thank you, my friend! All I can say is “Amen!†So many happy, funny memories ease our suffering. But a funny thing happened on her last birthday – I was outside gardening and two of my children came up. I had been crying and they could see my eyes were a mess. One of my sons said, †You know Mom, I know you’re sad because it’s our sister’s birthday…but maybe it’s better she died early – I mean what if she grew up and became a bank robber and was not allowed to go to heaven??†His sister just ahead of him, chimed in, “Or worse, Mom,…what if she grew up to be a DemoRAT???†I went on to tell them I was a recovering DemoRAT….Aren’t some kids just too precious????

November 18th, 2006 at 2:45 pmDear Zoo-ette- My curiosity stems from the pervasive (though certainly not universal) skepticism of Progs and Progettes regarding law enforcement and our judicial system. I do not know anyone who believes OJ to be INNOCENT – but I do know a boatload of people who believe it was an ineptly prosecuted case, politically motivated jurisdiction and a shoddy voir dire.
If you celebrate THANKSgiving have a nice one. If not – “Happy ThanksBigBang”.

I am sure any of us would be rotting in jaiil -it takes a high-profile defendant with a lot of money to get away with such gruesome murder.
Mighty Aphrodite also claims to be a defence lawyer, so for her to come here and ask about how “progressives feel” is disingenuous times two: Not only she’s in the trade that uses such low tactics, she is a FauxNews watcher (the same outfit that is hyping the interview).

***Dear GrgrrSusan – A criminal defenSe attorney has an ethical obligation to present a zealous defense on behalf of the client. I NEVER ask if my client is guilty – that is the job for the trier of fact. My job is to MAKE SURE my client is represented against the vast resources of the state so as to prevent the government from punishing citizens without PROOF and to safeguard the rights of the accused.

It would help if defence lawyers stopped peddling such inane, mendacious, fact-devoid conspiracy theories to deceive the gullible.
As long as defence lawyers go for the lowest common denominator, and keep trying their cases in the court of public opinion instead of a court of law, people will view law enforcement with mistrust.
So tell me, MA, how many times have you claimed “entrapment” when explaining your clients’ legal troubles?

ROFLMAO
November 18th, 2006 at 3:08 pmOJ WAS framed!
The racist neocons in the LAPD had to keep OJ from getting too uppity because he was talking about running for mayor or governor so they framed him by turning his wife into a pez dispenser and gutting Ron Goldman.
Kaeto Kaelin was actually a veteran detective with the LAPD Special Actions/Intelligence Division who was back-channeling intel on OJ before the murders took place and collecting DNA from Simpson like toenail clippings and used prophylactics to give to his control/action officer, Mark Fuhrmann
The old-school, neo-con cabal in Brentwood orchestrated this perfectly, getting the case docketted on paleo-con Lance Ito’s court schedule. Christopher Darden was the token “house-negro” for the LA County District Attorney’s Office who was brought into the case to diffuse any charges of racism.
F Lee Bailey was given a year’s worth of Macallan single-malt just to make things fair for the prosecution.
Rush Limbaugh’s had in this is evident through his use of Judith Regan to bring out Simpson’s ghost-written book so that the White power elite can keep their hobnailed bootheel on OJ’s neck.

******Dear GS – Entrapment is a defense “weapon” which is often tossed by the judge. I have only had one client in my career who I believe was enticed to committ a criminal act by law enforcement. Had it not been for that inducement, I do not believe he would have committed the crime he did. Mercifully, he learned his lesson and is a productive, contributing member of society.

apropos to this thread, a good read, love the headline:
O.J. sewer leads right to Murdoch
November 18, 2006
AMERICA’S popular culture lost its sense of shame so long ago that it’s a little hard to recall precisely what that emotion felt like.
[…]
…the Fox television network announced that it would air a two-part interview with O.J. Simpson as part of the publicity campaign promoting a new book, “If I Did It,†in which he offers a hypothetical account of how he might have killed his ex-wife
[…]
“If I Did It†is the product of the former football star’s collaboration with an unnamed ghost writer and will be published at the end of this month by ReganBooks, the euphonious shock-and-schlock imprint Judith Regan runs for the HarperCollins publishing house. Fox, ReganBooks and HarperCollins all have something important in common: They’re owned by the predatory Australian-born media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, who has devoted his life to making money by making sure that news and entertainment are as coarse and vulgar as can be imagined in as many places as possible.
In fact, if there is a single compelling argument for restrictive immigration policies, Murdoch is it. It is one of history’s inexplicable perversities that this avaricious antipodean has been welcomed into this country while honest Mexican workingmen are walled out.

Confirmed: Israel Nuked Lebanon!
Publication time: 18 November 2006, 23:16
RAI reports that soil samples from the bomb crater contained twenty times as much radioactivity as samples from the surrounding area.
The British newspaper The Independent had previously reported that soil samples from Lebanon were being tested for radiation in England. RAI now reports that the radioactivity has been confirmed by British scientists at two different laboratories.
The measurements were carried out by two Lebanese professors of physics – Mohammad Ali Kubaissi and Ibrahim Rachidi. The data – 700 nanosieverts per hour – showed remarkably higher radiocativity then the average in the area ( Beirut = 35 nSv/hr ). … on September 17th, Ali Kubaissi took British researcher Dai Williams, from the environmentalist organization Green Audit, to the same site, to take samples that were then submitted to Chris Busby, technical adisor of the Supervisory Committee on Depleted Uranium, which reports to the British Ministry of Defense. The samples were tested by Harwell’s nuclear laboratory, one of the most authoritative research centers in the world. On October 17th, Harwell disclosed the testing results – two samples in 10 did contain radioactivity.
On November 2nd, another British lab, The School of Oceanographic Sciences, confirmed Harwell’s results – the Khiam crater contains slightly enriched uranium.
As Kurt Nimmo wrote late last month:
This is scantly mentioned in the corporate media … as such brutal revelations would inspire people to ask their government why it is sending billions of dollars a year to a country that nukes its neighbor (and using uranium-based munitions is indeed nuclear war, even if the signature mushroom cloud is absent).
Nimmo also reported that Israel appears to have used other unconventional weapons against the people of Lebanon. For more details, please see:

KHIAM SOUTHERN LEBANON
A BOMB’S ANATOMY
By Flaviano Masella, Angelo Saso, Maurizio Torrealta
The special report was triggered by the radioactivity measurements reported on a crater probably created by an Israeli Bunker Buster bomb in the village of Khiam, in southern Lebanon. The measurements were carried out by two Lebanese professors of physics – Mohammad Ali Kubaissi and Ibrahim Rachidi. The data – 700 nanosieverts per hour – showed remarkably higher radiocativity then the average in the area (Beirut = 35 nSv/hr ). Successivamente, on September 17th, Ali Kubaissi took British researcher Dai Williams, from the environmentalist organization Green Audit, to the same site, to take samples that were then submitted to Chris Busby, technical adisor of the Supervisory Committee on Depleted Uranium, which reports to the British Ministry of Defense. The samples were tested by Harwell’s nuclear laboratory, one of the most authoritative research centers in the world.

OJ is going to describe how the murders took place–if he did it, hypothetically–and his story is going to seem so implausible that we are all going to be convinced he couldn’t possibly have done it….

******Dear QJ – I don’t disagree with you – it’s bad enough another book will be out about this narcissistic murderer, but a TV special…..ICK!! Every time I have seen that man’s hands, I feel sick. Knowing how he killed his victims is so repulsive……But if you want to watch something a bit more informative – and timely, you might want to get your hands on a copy of the independent film “Obsession”. I wouldn’t watch OJMurderer if my life depended on it.
November 18th, 2006 at 6:22 pmI think O’ Reilly deep inside he likes being attacked by the so called far left,because that is how he survives and stays in the spotlight and sells his show. He feeds on the ignorance of a class of people whom he likes to keep watching him ‘most of his viewers are over the 60 years age’. He acts as their hero and values protector[ sounds familar with regard to 'family values' protectors who were caught latley]. Ignoring him is the best remedy for all….His show provides nothing but rattling,attacking and smearing others…he is the ‘know it all,and must not be questioned guy’ ,and if someone attempts he is lebaled by O’Reilly as far left,and immoral…or un Aemerican. Why someone want to waste his time watching this self conceited person.
November 18th, 2006 at 6:23 pmMr. O’Reilly is this:
Diagnostic criteria
At least five of the following are necessary for a diagnosis:
1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by other special people
4. requires excessive admiration
5. strong sense of entitlement
6. takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy
8. is often envious or believes others are envious of him or her
9. arrogant affect.

Face it, OJ did it and got off by turning the trial into one about racism rather then the evidence. The fact is the guy is guilty as sin and therefore, basically a slimeball wife-abuser and murderer.

November 19th, 2006 at 7:44 amRandi Rhodes called it correctly Friday on Air America. The jurors in the criminal trial knew OJ was guilty but were tired of the unethical practices of the LAPD and decided to make an example out of them. OJ and Fox are both reprehensible for peddling this garbage to America and Bill O’Reilly knows it. The Department of the Navy pays both squids and the President’s jarheads alike just like Rupert Murdoch has both Bill O’Reilly and OJ on his payroll. Sorry Bill but when you lie with dogs…

This wouldn’t be a distraction from the fact that we now have a democratic republican house & senate instead of regular republicans would it. Not that Faux is either fair or unbiased in the majority of it’s reporting anyway. I think most of us now know that Faux is a propaganda mill. Hey, isn’t Americas Top Model or Big Brother on soon?
November 19th, 2006 at 1:51 pmWhat do progs think regarding the OJ case? We of course believe, as you wingnuts, that Clinton did it…
November 19th, 2006 at 6:31 pmActually CBS kind of reported on the OJ interview on it’s Sunday morning show. Some old white guy (All old white guys look the same to me) was saying stuff about how he does not like to comment on other new casters choice of interviews/stories but he agreed with the owners of some local stations that were refusing to carry the interview.
What’s the big hub bub about anyway? Let’s say OJ does go on tv and confesses. Would that change the world? Will it bring peace to the Middle East. End stravation? End opression of the weak? I think not but it would give the news heads something to talk about incessiantly for a few days.
Who cares? TV is crap any way. People watch crap everyday. What’s a little more crap? I loves me a good O’Reilly rant. It makes me all tingling inside. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tingles
November 20th, 2006 at 12:34 amI’m patiently waiting for BO to tell his audience how the “far left” is demanding that FOX run the OJ piece in the first place.
I wonder why he isn’t ashamed of FOX news every time they use a sex scandal to display as much skin as possible. From Spring break footage that’s all closeups of shakin’ bikini booty to looping the webcam video of that hot teacher that had sex with her students, I can’t tell the diff between FNC and Cinemax…
November 20th, 2006 at 10:05 amI have two comments. The first one is jumpwings is crazy. Kato Katlin was never an investigator for LAPD. As a former member of the law enforcement community here in L. A. (school police) I have many friends that work for LAPD and they all have said that to their knowledge he wasn’t employed with them. 2nd comment, O’reily is nothing more than a paranoid right wing wacko, who should be married to Ann Coulter. Nothing pertinent comes out of either of their jack holes
November 20th, 2006 at 12:48 pmJumpwing is deluded in thinking that the Juice didn’t have anything to do with his ex’s killing. Also, I think Billy O is a right wing wacko, who with each pontificating makes himself seem more and more foolish
November 20th, 2006 at 12:50 pm[...] Days later, Bill O’Reilly attacked the “far left loons” who linked Fox News with the O.J. Simpson interview. According to O’Reilly, these people are “kool-aid zombies” who are “doing the bidding of far left fanatics who will do anything to disparage me and FNC.” [...]
November 20th, 2006 at 3:43 pmSomeone at Fox Broadcasting had to have lost their mind to even consider this absurd idea.
I was an OJ trial junky 11 years ago. Today, I did not intend to give him one minute of my time to either read a sentence of his book or watch a minute of his interview.
This man is inhuman. His moral fiber is disconnected and I consider him an insult to the human race.
What was Murdoch thinking when he decided to support this? I’ll tell you what he was thinking – the mighty dollar. Although he has now decided not to air this after public outcry, he did not dig very deep into his moral conscience until he was forced to do so. If this was his son or daughter that was murdered, would he have even given this idea a millisecond of thought? Shame on you Fox Broadcasting and Murdoch.
Shame on Chapter/Indigo in Toronto, a bookstore I used to support until now, for deciding to sell the book if it came out. I will not shop there any longer simply because they TOO intended to stock it. Shame on everyone who could not think past the color green.
A big applause to humanity for saying “enough”.

“Kato Katlin was never an investigator for LAPD. As a former member of the law enforcement community here in L. A. (school police) I have many friends that work for LAPD and they all have said that to their knowledge he wasn’t employed with them.
So, you as a “school cop” were privy to the deep-cover actions within the Special Action/Intelligence Division? THAT would be a specious claim.
Your friends, in the LAPD, claim that “to their knowledge” (Kaelin) wasn’t employed by the LAPD.
OK, so what kind of Intell angency publishes or open-sources the names of their detectives, agents or operatives? C’mon, Sparky, THINK! It’s not like “Spy Vs. Spy” in Mad Magazine where the spooks and agents caper about in white or black fedoras. Neither do they wear t-shirts with “spy” on the front in big bold letters for all to read.
Further, do any of you actually believe that IF a cop knew that ANOTHER cop was detailed to a deep-cover unit, that ANY open discussion of that covert op would take place?

Wow and I’m not far left nor am I a puppeteer.
November 22nd, 2006 at 8:13 pm141, you say, Who should care about l’affaire OJ? I personally don’t, and neither do most people outside of the Goldman/Brown families, who, in fact, care quite a lot. They are into revenge, which in the end, v. Christ & New Testament scripture, is not The Way. Leaving all of this aside, the reason why people care has nothing to do with OJ, but rather the unbelievably craven depths to which commercial Tee Vee will sink for ratings during sweep week. THAT’S the reason l’affaire has caused such a stir. The larger issue is: why in the world does a man already a billionaire many times over feel the unending need to accumulate yet more wealth? What is it with people like this? Michael Nagler has it right: Tee Vee is the enemy of democracy and of intelligent dialog in this country: the stated goal of the neothugs has been, right from the start now 25 years ago, to conquer through causing division among our people. Their capture of the media outlets has been used to promote this agenda, with faux the most blatant example in view at the moment. We should all pledge here, as Nagler asks, to boycott the sonofabitch now and forever, save for satellite channels U select for your own viewing apart from the mainpisstream media.
