Bill O’Reilly: Liberal bloggers = blackmailers.

Bill O’Reilly: Liberal bloggers = blackmailers.
Last night, O’Reilly said: “[W]hat people don’t understand is that these Internet bloggers give messages to these candidates: ‘If you don’t do what we tell you to do, we will trash you and try to interfere with your fundraising.’ ” Right-wing columnist Dick Morris later asserted that O’Reilly is “a great rallying point for” liberal bloggers, to which O’Reilly replied: “But I think it’s a danger to have blackmailers, which is what these bloggers are, active in the political process.” Media Matters has the video.

Liberal bloggers are criminals.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:39 pmwho gives a shit what thses LUNATICS think? tp, dont embolden these idiots!
August 10th, 2007 at 1:40 pmI believe my talents are worth a cool million, easy.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:41 pm‘If you don’t do what we tell you to do, we will trash you and try to interfere with your fundraising.’
That's called democracy -- which makes it not surprising that Bill has trouble with it.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:42 pmIsn't billo the one who has ordered stakeouts of people he doesn't like?
August 10th, 2007 at 1:42 pmYeah who wants "the people" involved in the political process? And I don't think that money is playing a big enough role in our election process.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:43 pmHow dare we demand accountability from our elected representatives??? /snark off
August 10th, 2007 at 1:43 pmThe GOP must be shitting itself if they've given Bill these marching orders. Ha Ha!
August 10th, 2007 at 1:43 pmBlackmail? As in trying to get a boycott going against businesses and countries who don't toe Bill O's line? Kettle = black. pot = black. The guy is hopeless.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:44 pmBill O'Reilly = serial rapist. Did I forget to mention "syphillitic"?
August 10th, 2007 at 1:45 pmActually, blackmail is what you do with secret information you obtained through illegal wiretaps in order to get public officials to do what you want them to.

When liberal blogs are outlawed, only outlaws will have liberal blogs.
They can have my liberal blog when they pry it from
August 10th, 2007 at 1:46 pmmy cold, dead fingers.
This is good news for us liberal bloggers.
The last time Bill Orally screamed "blackmail" he paid someone $10 million at least.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:46 pmThis is SOOOO funny! The Repugs don't have a viable blogging infrastructure, so, like billo shutting off the mic when he doesn't like what is said, he wants to throw stones.
Guess in his case ignorance and fear drive behavior.......BIG TIME!

Criminal.
wHY DO lIBERALS hate aMERICA?
August 10th, 2007 at 1:47 pmI prefer to think of myself as a citizen exercising my constitutional rights while I still have them.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:47 pmbill, bill, bill.
still upset about the Andrea Macris settlement?
August 10th, 2007 at 1:47 pmIt is amazing how unilateral these fools are. Everything must be a dichotomy to them: either good or bad; black or white; ignorant liberal or informed conservative; or as King George the Dumb puts it, you is either with me or again me. However, after reading my description I think maybe they are on to something--I feel the same way about the ignorant conservatives, the bads, and the blacks (figuratively not ethnically). They is either with the intelligent liberals or against true democracy and the American way.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:47 pmWe should refer to Bill as "Bill the Entertainer". Although I watch him on a regular basis, it is only to gather intelligence on the right wing enemy.
Bill is no better at entertainment than he is at news or commentary - unless one wears special goggles.

Ok, you got me there. Send me $200k in unmarked bills and I won't tell anyone about your little escapade with that 12 year old boy, the German Shepard and the jar of peanut butter.
I have to say though, that was pretty disgusting.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:48 pmReally?
Then if holding our candidates accountable is blackmail, what would oreilly call it when the RNC rallies its base to threaten radio stations if they play the Dixie Chicks?
August 10th, 2007 at 1:49 pmMan O'Rielly is really starting to go off the rails. Too bad. I guess the peons having a voice in the government is too much for him.

To all personnel serving in the US Armed forces.
LISTEN UP.
You are fighting for the freedom to tow the RNC line. You are fighting for the freedom to say exactly what they APPROVE for you to say.
But REMEMBER.
Free speech is only legal when it tauts the Republican party line.
It is a CRIME, to speak up if your position differs from that of the Bush administration.
Please do not forget.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:53 pmBill O hates America and smells like b. o.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:54 pmthe jar of peanut butter.
I have to say though, that was pretty disgusting.

It was? Ewww... that IS disgusting...
August 10th, 2007 at 1:55 pmOne more thread on O'lilie and 2 on coulter and my prediction will be true..What no new's on our road's. bridges, lost arm's and ton's of cash in Iraq, Israel?....Any new's on the repair's of vet's hospital's or if DUBI still own's our port's.?..Guess the 6 month dumbing down and constant revolving our warn out troop's is working..Noticed we have no shortage of black hearted troll's..Let's see if this post make's it along with crashing my computer yet again..Blessings
August 10th, 2007 at 1:55 pmHe sits there with the toe licker and how can one honestly watch those two perverts slam anyone for moral behavior, let alone political dishonesty. How about a show called Bill Gone Wild and we see what he, and Dick Morris can do with a mannequin and falafel.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:57 pmSee? Just when we're behaving well and not callin' names and bein' articulate, here comes this F***ing C***-S***ing A**H**le trying to smear us all!
G*d D**n you, O'Reilly! $#%*#**@@!!! *&^*$$#!!!
August 10th, 2007 at 1:57 pmJudging from GOP obsession with liberal bloggers, it's obvious that said bloggers are causing a lot of damage to the GOP.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:58 pmSharon,
It's good that we have a business relationship with the UAE.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:58 pm#24
Then why aren't you in jail or on trial?
August 10th, 2007 at 1:59 pmIt is O'Reilly and his giant Fox "News" microphone who routinely tries to destroy those he disagrees with through character assasination.
August 10th, 2007 at 2:00 pmLike your usual right winger, they can dish it but they can't take it. While these right wingers trash you on a daily basis, you are supposed to just sit there, shut up, and take it. If you fight back, then you are a "blackmailer" and the right winger throws a hissy fit.
The days of "turn the other cheek" are over O'Reilly. Deal with it.
C'mon, now, cut Bill a little slack. He's just pissed about that whole falafel thing getting out.

August 10th, 2007 at 2:03 pmAs far as I can see, "liberal bloggers" are not liberal at all, they're either hard Leftists or brain-fried conspiracy nutters - or both.
Heck, George Bush is more liberal than you crackpots.
August 10th, 2007 at 2:03 pmI stopped watching Bor, 3 or 4 years ago! What is this??
August 10th, 2007 at 2:04 pmFantastic! We get stronger and O'Leilly gets crazier. Imagine what Billo's going to do when W and Darth Cheney are frogmarched out of the White House.

Thats right.
He's liberal with spreading lies.
He's liberal with dismantling the Constitution
He's liberal at removing our liberties and freedoms
He's liberal at slaughtering civillians and shedding innocent blood
:|
He's quite liberal.
August 10th, 2007 at 2:15 pmSeems like Billo should look at the dictionary before he speaks, or hire better card writers since he is mis-using the word blackmail.
But I doubt he would understand that.
August 10th, 2007 at 2:15 pmRepublicans simply ask for a Loyalty Pledge.
Hahahahaha!! How did the Right Wing find all these MORONS??

August 10th, 2007 at 2:16 pmIn 2006 when it looked as though Nancy would become the Speaker , the news media spent many hours questioning her and discusing impeachment . This means the news media knew there were grounds for impeachment but had not been reporting it .

August 10th, 2007 at 2:20 pmRemember folks. Billo is using YOUR OWN AIRWAVES to insult you. Hows that for chutzpa? Why have we allowed the country to be hijacked this way?
August 10th, 2007 at 2:21 pmwho would guess that the internet now exposes 60 years of American imperialism at the touch of a button........ 10 years ago

Of course, I suppose it’s understandable that a conservative pundit would consider a political contribution to be more of a bribe. By the way, Bill, how are those political contribution comparison numbers working out for you? What?

August 10th, 2007 at 2:22 pmBillo is just trying to squelch the free speech of people whose opinions he doesn't agree with. Either that or this is just the latest chapter in his constant drumbeat that all people who don't march in lockstep with him are scary boogeymen. I find it difficult to believe that liberal bloggers are somehow more evil, influential, and capable of striking terror into the hearts of political candidates than conservative bloggers are. Or editorial columnists. Or radio talk show hosts. Or Fox News pundits.
Anybody who runs for office is going to encounter some negative opinions. I doubt any candidate with conviction would change their platform merely because some blogger criticized it.

August 10th, 2007 at 2:23 pmBilldo's comments play well to his "almost dead" demographic. You can't sell that schtick to most of the 25-50 crowd because they actually know what a blogger is and have enough brain cells to comprehend that both the left and the right have them and that both sides are giving voice to the people from their respective camps.
As soon as he tries to suggest only the left is attempting to influence the debate, his premise becomes laughable.
And Bill, please find a less obvious shill than Dick(I hate Hilary) Morris to help you carry the water. You wore out the credibility of that hack a long time ago.

August 10th, 2007 at 2:40 pmbillO is freakin out. his sponsors are bailing. Big prob for this clown. He keeps saying how it isn't true! no one has bailed! When I know for a fact that they indeed have. Pulled their ad dollars and put them elsewhere. Simple truth is in the numbers, they get a lot of flack from their consumers about BillO, they pull it and use other venues. He is flat out lying about it on his radio show.
August 10th, 2007 at 2:41 pmNetroots, the voice of the people.
Now he's gone off into lunacy mode making up this whole blackmail storyline, what a nutcase. Obviously, it is getting to him. Ah, what joy. Squirm you worm.
Typical BillO. All opinion and very little facts. He thinks all he has to do is dishout has "made to order" talking points and all the Fox zombies just eat it up as truth. What facts back up "bloggers are blackmailers" other then him saying it? None.

August 10th, 2007 at 2:44 pmUhmmm...someone should tell O'Reilly that politicians work for US. By us I mean the voters and more specifically the constituent. In this stage of the election cycle, the politicians should be working for democrat primary voters. If they don't do what the voters want, then absolutely they should not get elected.
It's called democracy O'Reilly...and accountability. Why do you hate Democracy so much O'Reilly? Maybe you should move to Cuba.
August 10th, 2007 at 2:45 pmMr. Bill (the original) was a handpuppet that predicted doom and gloom. He was right of course, he ended up at the end of each episode being doomed.

The very same...
August 10th, 2007 at 2:48 pmBetween this and the fuss over the Kos convention, the progressive blogs have had more free exposure than Brittany's baby chute. WOO HOO!
August 10th, 2007 at 2:55 pmIf bloggers don't tell politicians what do do...who will?
I don't think O'Reilly will ask politicians what to do ..he makes noise on his show to pop up his ratings..that's what he is interested in.
On the other hand why is O'Reilly silent over religious groups who also put pressure on politicians to vote their way. Are they also blackmailers?!!
O'Reilly needs to shut up, calling bloggers blackmailers....!!
August 10th, 2007 at 2:57 pmHe is losing viewers and that is what his anger is all about,and that's why he is fuming... that's why he is taking it to bloggers..
Why bloggers numbers are on the rise? It is television rubbish news, Stupid.
So this pervert has an opinion, all I remember about him is loofa, falafel, and 10 million dollar payout to hide his perversions. That's all I need to make the crap spewing out of his mouth irrelevant.
August 10th, 2007 at 3:05 pmWhy does the Left hate so?
August 10th, 2007 at 3:15 pmHmmmm.... James Dobson and those in the religious right are famous for conditioning their organization's and its followers' pledge of support on a candidate's promise to advance that group's agenda. And that type of action seems almost worse given that they're "followers" and bloggers are hardly signing on en masse to an agenda handed to them.
August 10th, 2007 at 3:18 pmFirst they mock you.
Then they fight you.
Then you win.
August 10th, 2007 at 3:20 pmBad typo little p. The Left hates bo, not so.
BTW, I am still waiting for the $200k or I post the video of you on the net. That German Shepherd's tongue looks a little rough, werere you wearing any protection?
August 10th, 2007 at 3:21 pmCan we "liberal bloggers" band together and file a class action law suit against O'Reilly for slander? I know I'm getting mighty sick of his smarmey nose in all our business!

What exactly was it that he did to JetBlue?
August 10th, 2007 at 4:32 pmDamn!...Billo is making liberal bloggers look like AIPAC!

Trashing someone is called democracy?
August 10th, 2007 at 5:18 pmO'Reilly is a mouthpiece for the RNC. He is beside himself because he can't believe that despite his best efforts the Kos Covention was a huge success.
August 10th, 2007 at 5:27 pm"We should refer to Bill as “Bill the Entertainerâ€. Although I watch him on a regular basis, it is only to gather intelligence on the right wing enemy."
Wow, my hat's off to you. I can't watch him for more than 10 minutes without getting nauseous. Same thing with Bush.
August 10th, 2007 at 5:28 pmYep. We're really tough.
Get this: If you don't honor your oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, we'll SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT YOU!
August 10th, 2007 at 5:47 pmI wonder what he thinks of Stu Byokofsky's comments????

You'd have to ask the swiftboaters - cowardly creep.
August 10th, 2007 at 6:25 pmIsn't this the same man who attacked JetBlue for sponsoring the YearlyKos convention, and then gloated on the air after JetBlue dropped the sponsorship?
In case we had any doubt O'Reilly is a big fat hypocrite, here is yet another example of his double-standards.
August 10th, 2007 at 6:35 pmBloggers are voters with a right to our opinions and a right to get involved. If BOR and DICK morris don't like it? TOUGH SH*T!!!!!!!
August 10th, 2007 at 7:09 pmOn October 13, 2004, O'Reilly filed a preemptive lawsuit against O'Reilly Factor producer Andrea Mackris, her lawyer Benedict P. Morelli, and Morelli's law firm for extortion, contending Mackris had privately demanded more than $60 million (USD) to settle a claim of sexual harassment. Morelli did not deny that they had demanded the settlement prior to filing the complaint, but did deny the allegations of extortion.
Later that same day, Mackris filed a complaint of sexual harassment against O'Reilly, claiming that O'Reilly had made numerous references to "phone sex, vibrators, threesomes, masturbation, the loss of his virginity, and other sexual fantasies". The details of some of these fantasies resembled scenes in a book written by O'Reilly, Those Who Trespass. The specificity with which Ms. Mackris recounted O'Reilly's telephone calls led many to believe that she had taped the calls. The existence of these tapes, and O'Reilly's desire that they never be made public, were seen by many as the reason for the prompt settlement of the suit in Mackris's favor. According to many accounts, O'Reilly paid many millions to make the lawsuit go away.
The complaint also sought additional damages and described alleged actions of retaliation by Fox, et al. Both cases were settled out of court and all parties agreed to keep the terms of the settlement confidential.....but you know what "O'Reilly" happened and what it says about the character of that self-righteous blowhard..

August 10th, 2007 at 8:15 pmI love how the conservative spin machine refers to liberal bloggers as "angry white men". Ok, I'm a man. I'm white. And I'm angry at what has happened to our country under the President Chimpy regime. I love reading the comments on blogs - a lot of you guys and gals are very passionate and that's a great thing. Except for the righties who are scared to death of real people with real opinions. Shrill O'Really goes off on these rants because ya'll scare this man to death. Why? Truth. And that's something Mr. O'Really doesn't want you to know.
August 11th, 2007 at 7:25 amHowever you "spin" it he is right and not just "neo-con" right.
Also, I find it hilarious how far right the left liberal candidate is going to come to the center in the primary. After they get all the money and support from left wingers and yes, they get money from "BIG BAD" corporations too.
August 11th, 2007 at 9:33 amProof positive that Bill O'Reilly imagines the rest of the world thinks like he does! This guy simply cannot escape the gravitational field of his ego (word has it that his Id is a little out of control as well). This guy has about as much depth as a tea spoon.
August 11th, 2007 at 9:34 amAnd by the way...we are not a democracy...we are not run by mob rule. We are country of laws.
If we were run my majority rule this country would be overrun years ago by foreign invaders.
