O’Reilly: Progressive blog readers = ‘devil worshippers.’»

On Fox News yesterday, Bill O’Reilly let loose on “far-left websites” like DailyKos, stating, “If you read these far-left websites, you’re a devil worshipper. You are.” O’Reilly’s ombudsman responded, “As a journalist, you know better than that.” O’Reilly shot back: “Satan is running the DailyKos. Yes, he is!”

Watch it:

At the end of the segment, O’Reilly said, “That was a little satire there…don’t get too upset about it.” But he then added, “I still think they are satanists.”

Digg It!

    best laugh i’ve had all week

    thanks, billo, for being such a clown.


  2. Keltoi Says:

    Satanism….Sweet!

    Actually, anyone with a clue knows New England Patriots fans are the
    real Devil Worshippers. It would explain a lot about their season.

    GO STEELERS!!!


  3. Blackacre Says:

    Bill is not very good at satire. He should stick to what he knows best - being the most dishonest person on TV.


  4. Arn Gunnutes Says:

    Actually, Satan and Hell are now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Murdoch’s News Corporation.

    So, Bill actually works for Murdoch and his EMPLOYEE Satan…

    Sincerely,

    Wow — did I miss the satanic homily on TP today? The pentagrams? The sacrificial rituals?

    Is there some secret area of TP I don’t know about?


  6. SP Biloxi Says:

    Ha Ha! Falafel King is really working hard for the gold medal on the Olbermann show. And he is still talking smack about Dailykos.

    Memo to Falafel Bill-O: Newsweek didn’t call you to be a contributor. Hint, hint!!!


  7. SkepticRising Says:

    O’Reilly’s an idiot. The remarkable thing is that he has a forum from which to display his idiocy. Feh.


  8. Vet Says:

    thanks, billo, for being such a clown.

    I agree. Clown is the only word that truly sums up the Bildo.


  9. DRxJ Says:

    ….and all us perceived Beelzebub worshipers wish you and your falafel

    “HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!”


  10. Wilco Says:

    Keltoi, I used to respect you. No more!
    Go Browns!


  11. Wilco Says:

    Or maybe it was Keltoi At Night who I respected…


  12. bilbobaggins Says:

    Oh boy, Keith’s going to have a ball with this one tonight. I almost believe that Billo writes this material for Keith on purpose.


  13. JPV Says:

    O’Reilly’s ombudsman responded, “As a journalist, you know better than that.”

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    Journalist???

    That’s almost as funny as the IDIOTIC “satanist blogs” remark.

    What a moran.

    RE: Comment by missmolly — December 7, 2007 @ 4:34 pm

    LOL!

    Yeah, really. I mean, I’ve been on TP for how long and I’ve missed all the dark rituals? Geez, come on, folks. ;)

    Hey, BillO. Got a word for you. Starts with dum, which you definitely are, and ends with bass, and the only thing that this has to do with fish is how fishy your support seems to be. ;) Put it together, and you know what you are…


  15. tombaker Says:

    remember - to billo, “far-left” means anyone to the left of Trent Lott (who is a quitter)


  16. Menehune Says:

    He’s on to us. Quick–open the window to get the sulphur smell out of here. And fersatanssakes someone get this damn goat head out of here before someone sees it!


  17. hellinabucket Says:

    sounds like BO had a second helping of dumb before he said this.


  18. bilbobaggins Says:

    “HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!”
    Comment by DRxJ

    Oh sh|t. Now you’ve gone and done it. Billo declared the “war on Christmas” won by the forces of light. Now he’s going to have to ramp it up again.


  19. hellinabucket Says:

    fersatanssakes. That’s good.


  20. JPV Says:

    Oh yeah, and BTW…

    Our Father Who Art in Hell, Infernal Be thy name.
    Thy kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in Hell.
    Give us this day our daily due and lead us into temptation.
    For thine is the glory, the power, the kingdom,
    Forever and ever,
    Hail Satan!!!


  21. DenverOasis Says:

    Fair And Balanced?


  22. RUCerious Says:

    OK, we’re busted.

    All together now,,

    Hail Cheney! Hail Cheney!


  23. sectionop92 Says:

    So does Billo think he’s Jesus Christ? Because he’s certainly getting on the cross.


  24. barrelhse Says:

    Jerk.


  25. Gregor Samsa Says:

    How come I haven’t been invited to the animal sacrifices and blood rituals that obviously ThinkProgress organises?

    I feel so left out…

    ::sniff::

    ::sob::


  26. DanCaveman Says:

    Yep….he got it right 100%

    Not wanting more wars = satanism
    Wanting truth from our civil servants = satanism
    sick of the lies and spin = satanism
    living up to our treaties = satanism
    NOT TORTURING = satanism
    giving our veterans the care they deserve = satanism

    Can it be any clearer?


  27. SP Biloxi Says:

    Must be slow on Fox News for new material. Bill-O must be running out of material. Thanks Bill for entertaining us during the writer’s strike!

    Technically he’s a “pundit”. He peddles opinions.

    Comment by DanCaveman — December 7, 2007 @ 4:41 pm

    Scarier when you consider that the flip side — wanting more wars, accepting deception from our civil servants, embracing lies and spin, trashing our treaties, torturing, and spitting on our veterans — equals what?

    PATRIOTISM! According to Bill-O, anyway…and a frightening number of people who agree with him.

  36. dbadass Says:

    Maybe he can get Geraldo to do a two hour primetime special report on the threat of satanic worship. I really miss those days when paranoia was restricted to concerns over rampant daycare provider child abuse and demonic worship. None of you taped that gem of Americana by any chance? What I’d give to relive those fearful days


  37. Menehune Says:

    Oh, the sacrifices we’ve had to make to hang out around here!


  38. Jim Says:

    Why does O’Reilly’s “ombudsman” keep insisting O’Reilly is a “journalist”? Clearly, Bill O’Reilly is not a journalist. He’s a clown, and he wants it that way. No self-respecting journalist would ever baselessly accuse someone of being a “devil worshipper.” O’Reilly is a joke, a caricature. He makes no pretense whatsoever of being a journalist. He hates journalism (as does Fox News)–that’s the whole basis of his show, and his popularity.


  39. Keltoi Says:

    Or maybe it was Keltoi At Night who I respected…

    Comment by Wilco — December 7, 2007 @ 4:36 pm

    Same Guy.

    But come on, the Steelers are the last best hope of Mankind this weekend
    against the Forces of Satanic Darkness from Foxboro. Look at Brian Bellichik with that whole Grey Hood thing. Definitely made a deal with the Devil, Evil Monk.

    I have always admired the loyalty of Browns fans in the face of all evidence to the logic of it. (Hint: Juan, that’s another softball I am tossing you….)


  40. dim wit Says:

    So,

    Bill thinks we worship the devil.

    and

    Coulter says we are godless.

    I’m so confused. Well at least the right wing is there to tell me how to think.


  41. JPV Says:

    It should be pointed out, that the only reason that creeps like O’Reilly feel empowered to peddle such nonsense, is because the vast majority of Americans are complete knuckle-dragging morons that don’t have the common sense to turn his TV show off.

    If he didn’t have the ratings, he would just fade away.

    Don’t blame him, blame your neighbors folks. It’s their fault that he has a platform for this stupid crap.


  42. JMOHR Says:

    We will never make those like O’Reilly accept societal norms. They will always pose a threat to a well ordered society. People like O’Reilly should simply be put down as you would put down any dangerous animal. A few good examples of the right wing being treated this way would return civil discourse to our society.


  43. wisedup Says:

    you mean to comment here, I have to worship satan? OK, hail bush.


  44. rastaman Says:

    it’s becoming glaringly evident that the neokkkons are becoming unhinged…..better watch out….when they are backed into a corner….that’s when the bullets start to fly.


  45. Poop on Republicans Says:

    What of it trolls? You read this site too, so O’Reilly just insulted you.. don’t most of the trolls like O’Reilly?


  46. dlet Says:

    At the end of the segment, O’Reilly said, “That was a little satire there…don’t get too upset about it.” But he then added, “I still think they are satanists.”

    So he admits its crazy and stupid to make such a comment and then proclaims that he is crazy and stupid………nice.


  47. Wilco Says:

    Keltoi,
    I can’t support the Steelers, no matter who they play.
    Anyway, I hear Hugo Chavez is a Steelers fan. So I guess that makes you a Hugo Chavez fan. I failed Logic in college.


  48. Dr. Matt Says:

    Widdle, widdle, Billy had a hissy fit. Poor, Billy willy…..


  49. Veritas Says:

    Loofah Willy’s gone totally berzerk. What a laughing stock this moron is becoming.

    I guess then it would follow that “progressives love Republitards” who epitomize evil and are the representatives of Satan, if the logic of what O’Liely says is true.


  50. Menehune Says:

    Hey Poop… I think the trolls are off at their holiday party this afternoon. They are quite sparse. Maybe they just heard in advance that there was going to be a…oh shit…RAID!!!


  51. Veritas Says:

    Loofah Bill and his ridiculous fraudulent station are becoming so irrelevant to the national landscape that, in total desperation, they’ve finally gone over the edge.

    Get your “Fox Blocker” today so you don’t even have to scroll through the propaganda megaphone called “Fox News”.


  52. Ret. Col. Jack Ripper Says:

    It’s almost as if he’s trying to be a parody of himself, but he’s just not as talented as Colbert, so it’s just not funny.


  53. Veritas Says:

    Menehune: Since they’re all cockroaches, even the mention of the word “Raid” would have them running for cover.

    I think they’ve got nothing they can spin at this point since the White House is coming unglued, one position at a time and the only kooks left there are Bush & Cheney and their goose is cooked by the allegations of the CIA Senior Officials who told them that if they didn’t “come clean” on the NIE report, the official were going to the media. It’s about effin time!


  54. mocha Says:

    I’d rather be a “Devil Worshipper” and read progressive blogs than the alternative…

    Chavez likes the Steelers? I demand a link! ;)


  60. darladoon Says:

    why does think progress spend money to post such nonsense? does bill o’reilly even matter?


  61. Veritas Says:

    What Bush and Cheney have done vis-a-vis the obstruction of the intelligence contained in the NIE report coupled with their overt lies about what they absolutely knew to be false about Iran, means nothing short of “treason” for Bush and Cheney both. Nice legacy, eh? And there’s more - so much more to yet be revealed.

    Just when we think they’ve “hit bottom” and their crimes couldn’t be more treasonous and diabolical, they astound us with even greater crimes. Amazing what we have yet to discover about this cadre of criminals within.


  62. RUCerious Says:

    Don’t blame him, blame your neighbors folks. It’s their fault that he has a platform for this stupid crap.

    Comment by JPV — December 7, 2007 @ 4:49 pm

    How can you blame the poor old folks in the nursing home dayroom, none of them are paying attention, but they still get counted in the ratings sweep!


  63. Veritas Says:

    In fact, Billy O is beginning to pay for his continuous diarrhea of the mouth (aka lies) - Billy O’s face is resembling a wrinkled paper bag. I think it’s contagious since Bush is his body double these days.


  64. Veritas Says:

    He’s got edema of the face and he may be storing a winter’s worth of acorns in that “waddle” of his! At least this unflattering photo certainly looks that way.


  65. MarkD Says:

    So people who are against never-ending war … think government should serve the many, rather than a select few … believe in health care for all … and believe we should take care of this little planet we call home … all worship Satan?

    Really?

    Wow … Satan must have changed his mission statement quite a bit since I was a kid at Sunday school …


  66. Veritas Says:

    Maybe we all should take up a national collection to buy Willy Wanka a truckload of loofahs for Christmas??


  67. Ret. Col. Jack Ripper Says:

    Bill O’Reilly’s gift to a moral society. His novel, “Those Who Trespass,” which includes this wonderful lesson:

    “Robo used his “product” only occasionally, but tonight was special. He had two fifteen-year-old girls who would do anything for the drug, and he was determined to exploit the situation.

    “Say, baby, put that pipe down and get my pipe up,” Robo said to one of the girls.”

    Like TomBaker said. A clown.


  68. deebaser Says:

    At the end of the segment, O’Reilly said, “That was a little satire there…don’t get too upset about it.” But he then added, “I still think they are satanists.”

    Technically that isn’t even “satire”.


  69. wisedup Says:

    Good point RUCerious. Somewhere in a murdock warehouse,there are a zillion tv sets tuned to fox.


  70. krazeeinjun Says:

    Bill O’Reilly enjoys raunchy sex with various species of farm animals while wearing a pink tutu and humming the Battle Hymn of The Republic.

    That was a little satire there…don’t get too upset about it Falafel boy. But I still think you’re a goddamn freak.


  71. mocha Says:

    Can I sue Bill for Libel or Slander???


  72. Cappy Says:

    F = 6th letter of the alphabet
    O = 15th letter, 1+5=6
    X = 24th letter, 2+4=6
    Therefore FOX + 666, network of the devil!

    Bill, you have gone too far! I am raking my Bill O doll with a blood soaked chicken foot right now.

    Ooops, I meant
    Therefore FOX = 666, network of the devil!


  76. Tender Chicken Says:

    If that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black, then nothing is.

  78. Winski Says:

    I sure am glad I don’t like kool-aide… what a moron…


  79. joe cantwell Says:

    so the trolls are satan worshipers?

    yes?

    no?

    maybe?


  80. dbadass Says:

    Interesting to note that the Devil has frequently been linked to excessive sexual prowess.


  81. Loonie Says:

    Pff. Whatever, Bill.


  82. curmudgeon Says:

    From wikipedia, under the heading “defence mechanisms”:

    “Projection: Projection is a primitive form of paranoia. Projection also reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the undesirable impulses or desires without becoming consciously aware of them; attributing one’s own unacknowledged unacceptable/unwanted thoughts and emotions to another; includes severe prejudice, severe jealousy, hypervigilance to external danger, and “injustice collecting”. It is shifting one’s unacceptable thoughts, feelings and impulses within oneself onto someone else, such that those same thoughts, feelings, beliefs and motivations as perceived as being possessed by the other.”

    Or, as stated more succintly on http://www.abess.com

    “projection — A defense mechanism, operating unconsciously, in which what is emotionally unacceptable in the self is unconsciously rejected and attributed (projected) to others.”

    In any event, it would appear that the shoe fits, falafel boy.


  83. Leftside Annie Says:

    OMG - you guys are cracking me up!! #66 - you win for the loudest guffaw of the day! ;o)

  89. BehindBlueyes Says:

    He’s just a characher of himself. How can anybody take him seriously when even he doesn’t.


  90. Mark @ News Corpse Says:

    This from the man who a few days ago said:

    “There are few journalistic standards left these days as we’ve proven on this broadcast again and again.”

    I couldn’t agree with him more. O’Reilly is the ultimate proof that journalistic standards have declined.


  91. Doc Rock Says:

    Fork O’Reilly!


  92. Keltoi at Night Says:

    so the trolls are satan worshipers?

    yes?

    no?

    maybe?

    Comment by joe cantwell — December 7, 2007 @ 5:27 pm

    Nah, Satan is a little intense, and as someone else said you’d have to be part of Judeo-Christianism to even have a ticket to that ball.

    Agnostic Pagan Taoism - the best non religion for the Cosmically Bemused.


  93. curmudgeon Says:

    Re: comments #66 and #83 –

    According to Andrea Mackris’ complaint in the lawsuit against Bill-O, it appears that he used the terms “loofa” and “falafel” interchangeably.

    Falafel is defined by the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary as follows: “a spicy mixture of ground vegetables (as chick-peas or fava beans) formed into balls or patties and then fried”

    Perhaps O’Leilly (or one of his rabid fans, aka trolls on this site) could explain how one might use falafel in the shower under intimate circumstances. Wouldn’t it fall apart?

    If you are trying to lose weight (or avoid gaining it during the holidays) and need an appetite suppressant, you may wish to review the complaint in full, which can be found at:

  97. republicans hate facts Says:

    If liberals are atheists, then atheists don’t believe in god, or the devil, so how could people that don’t believe in the devil be worshipers of the devil again?

    I know, I know, never use logic with a ‘conservative’, they’re just so blasted stupid it’s hard to imagine how they have the ability to wipe their own @sses! Maybe that explains the toe-tapping requests for assistance in the mens rooms? ;)

    Billo is my favorite clown in the WHOLE circus. I like his liver spots, his stubby little hands, the cheap scotch on his breath, and his remarkable lack of self awareness.
    If anyone is a Satan worshiper its him. He had to sell his soul to be so lucky. A man that was a loser his entire life, with no talent, gets lucky enough to lie for a living? How cool is that?


  100. republicans hate facts Says:

    I find it funny how the religious whacks DEMAND that the country do exactly everything they want - and they can’t accept atheists as equals. Heck, despite all of Romney’s whining yesterday about religious inclusiveness, he won’t even answer the question of whether he believes atheists and other NON-JUDEO-CHRISTIANS have any positive role in the country! What a bunch of extremist whacks the Religious Conservative Republicans have become!

  108. ralph the wonder llama Says:

    So, in one fell swoop, O’Reilly used a variant of “I was joking” to excuse an outrageously stupid statement, AND he took all the “Nazi” name-calling and turned them up a notch.

    He truly is a virtuoso of stupidity.


  109. sectionop92 Says:

    Dear Bill,

    Stop giving the liberals credit for my work! You know that makes me angry. If it isn’t you, it’s Rush or that moron Glenn Beck. I’m “the” evil incarnate and I’ve spent my whole life earning that rep. I won’t be “out’ed” like this! I have to go over to Pat Robertson’s house…Gordon’s soul is starting to show up again…we can’t have that.

    Darkly yours,

    Robert Novak

    P.S. Got any plans for Valentine’s Day? I have some “imports” coming in from Thailand I thought we could beat with a sack of Valencia oranges. I miss Bing Crosby…he beat me in ways my father never did; and my father whooped me good! Just remember, the good days are coming to an end. We need the “good” judges to make sure our “fun” doesn’t show up on that liberal “do-gooder” network with “c.h.”…he wouldn’t understand why we like our “imports”. ;)


  110. questioneverything Says:

    Ever heard the term “projection”? Whatever the reich wing accuses us of, they are doing themselves. So back at ya Billo (or is that Brillo?). You don’t only worship the devil–you are the devil. All you have to sell is fear and all you are is a tired, hateful little empty suit. You and Novak and Wolfowitz and Poderhertz and Feith and Cheney and Libby and Rove and Bush and all the other signatories to PNAC are exactly alike. I’ve flicked better lint off my sweater. You all should be convicted of war crimes.

    Dear Bile. Satan, or evil was never taught by the early christians. The word Satan is often confused with the word Lucifer, which means bringer of light, which means Venus.

    Jesus said, “I am the bright and morning star…” Are you calling Jesus the devil Bill?

    We will never make those like O’Reilly accept societal norms. They will always pose a threat to a well ordered society. People like O’Reilly should simply be put down as you would put down any dangerous animal. A few good examples of the right wing being treated this way would return civil discourse to our society.

    Yeah, they either confrom to your views or become unpersons. Didn’t Hitler get rid of some folks that “posed a threat to a well ordered society?” Dang, libs keep saying conservatives are the Nazis, and yet… ;)

    #114 — You could possibly have a point — provided that you can cite a prior case where a progressive blogger or talk show host has specifically contended that “if someone reads a right-wing website, then they are a devil worshipper” Alternatively, perhaps you can cite a situation where a progressive blogger or talk show host stated something to the effect of, “Satan is running ThinkProgress. Yes he is!”

    Question to upright left — If you take Bill-O at his word and are posting on this site, perhaps that would make you a devil-worshipper? So, are you or aren’t you?

    Please cite your sources — or fold, because you are holding a losing hand.

    Re: Post #119

    Since the Christian Reich tells us that we must take the Bible literally, word for word, then at least one of the following conditions must surely apply:

    1) None of them have ever sinned. But this can’t be true. The New Testament clearly states in Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” — English Standard Version

    This then leads to Option #2:
    2) Every member of the Christian Reich is missing eyes, ears, tongues, brains (likely in many cases) and/or other assorted appendages. The Biblical reference appears near the end of this post.

    Does their respective church perform the necessary surgery as part of a religious ceremony? Does the altar double as a surgical suite? Do major health insurance plans cover the necessary costs or is this funded by donations left in the offering plate?

    Since we are told that the Bible is infallible and “all have sinned”, then body parts which cause a person to sin must be removed.

    Still shaking your head in disbelief? Then please consider the following passage from the New Testament (i.e., Matthew 5:27-30):
    “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.” — English Standard Version

    Wouldn’t this be a great two-part question during the next Repuke “debate”? 1 - Do you believe every word in the Bible? 2 - Which body parts are you missing? And hook all of the candidates up to a polygraph machine, just for fun.

    Sorry, wilco, keltoi, et al:

    Ever since Rush Limbaugh declared the Pittsburgh Steelers to be his favorite football team, the curse of the Rightwing Nutballs has descended upon that team.

    I could never root for a team knowing Rush Limbaugh was rooting for them at the same time I was…and rooting against them and making him cry are oh-so-satisfying.

    Sorry, bud, but the post to which I responded said, “Whatever the reich wing accuses us of, they are doing themselves.” Therefore, I don’t feel the need to limit it to devil worship.
    I’m quite confident that O’Reilly was referring to those who agree with left wing sites, not those who read them to try to understand how seemingly normal people can actually have some of the views expressed here. ;)
