O’Reilly redefines ‘fair and balanced’: Find people who hate both Democrats.
Last night, Bill O’Reilly offered the newest definition of Fox News’s “Fair and Balanced” slogan: Bring on guests who hate both Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Barack Obama (D-IL). Following a segment with Karl Rove — who trashed Obama — O’Reilly introduced conservative pundit Dick Morris to trash Clinton:
O’REILLY: OK now, Karl Rove doesn’t really like Barack Obama as a political figure in this country. It’s obvious. And you really don’t like Hillary Clinton as a political figure in this country. So we figure we’d balance off the debate.
Watch it:
Of course, neither Rove nor Morris said anything about Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).

How about you find some “balance” in the corner while fisting yourself , O’Lielly ……………
April 18th, 2008 at 1:30 pmFairly Unbalanced I’m Afraid
April 18th, 2008 at 1:32 pmMaybe they don’t want to piss the old coot off.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:32 pmI knew that the Democrats had two worthy candidates. Here’s the proof.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:32 pmOh, fer the love o’Jebus!!!
Just when I think that Billo could not *possibly* be a bigger idiot – well, he goes and surprises me.
Way to go, Billo. I bow before your supreme idiocy.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:33 pmSeriously, what is the difference between O’Reilly and Jerry Springer ? They aren’t serious news discussions, probably have the same audience.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:33 pmneither Rove nor Morris said anything about Sen. John McCain
I think you’re onto something there. Virtually no one has anything to say about McNumbNuts. He is an embarrassment waiting to happen. Once the true election campaign gets ginned up, McNumbNuts will be tripping over his dick, sticking his foot in his mouth, stroke out trying to explain the numerous inconsistencies in his tax and military policies and go blind defending his cozy little relationship with lobbyists and thieves.
Morons like KKKarl and Little Dickie Morris are just getting their licks in while they can. They will soon be drown out by those of us who are truly interested in the health and future of this country and the need to choose a true leader who can begin repairing the disaster that was GDumbya and Darth Cheney.

Yeah , well said , Mr Self-Proclaimed “Independent”………

Is Barak Obama wearing a flag pin yet?
April 18th, 2008 at 1:37 pmI thought Rover was a quiet campaign consultant for McCain, which means he has to be the cheerleader. Wonder which State’s votes Rover will rig for McCain, like he did for bush.

I think it’s Pennsylvania’s turn this year.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:39 pmThe modern day Ted Baxter strikes again. I wonder if afterwards he sucked on Dicks toe while he loofa’d turd blossom.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:40 pm“Karl Rove doesn’t really like Barack Obama as a political figure in this country”
April 18th, 2008 at 1:44 pmThat’s because the thought of Obama running against the GOP scares the p1ss out of KKKarl. He’s spent so much time working on a strategy against Hillary never anticipating a year ago that Obama would be a contender.
O’Reilly says he’s an Independent. Oh, to see one of his ballots from years gone by. Anyone care to take a guess at the last Democrat he voted for? Maybe a buddy of his on the local school board but that’s about it. What a fake.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:48 pmAnd, when is Fox going to fess up and describe Karl Rove as an advisor to McCain? Whoops. I’m sorry. That would mean showing full disclosure. What the hell was I thinking?
O’Reilly is like watching Fox & Friends when they spent two hours trashing Obama. By his definition, O’Reilly was fair and balanced he found someone who hated Hillary and someone who hated Obama.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:49 pmOhhh, Falafel Sexual Predator Bildo spewed something out of his pie hole.
Faux Noise – Far From Balanced.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:50 pmStrange how the 2004 results were overwhelmingly for Kerry, suddenly began teetering back and forth, that Repubs had twice as many voting machines as Dems in many areas. Only Dems had to wait in long lines to vote. Disparities, irregularities, yet Kerry folded. Another win for Rover.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:53 pmWhat? O’Reilly had another fat, old, white guy on to talk trash on the Democratic candidates?
April 18th, 2008 at 1:55 pmWow, I am shocked.
KKKarl Rove knows damn well that an Obama presidency will work to undo all the entangled sh1t that he and Bush have done to our Government. I hope you are sweating, KKKarl you bloviating bag of sh1t! An Obama presidency also will not allow the Siegleman issue to fade away. As a constitutional scholar he is the RNC’s worst nightmare, especially if we get some new Democratic blood up on the Hill and soeone like Edwards in the AG spot.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:56 pmtexaslady @#6 ~ No! PLEASE! No Dickster Morris ripping off Alan Colmes shirt in a girlie fight!
April 18th, 2008 at 1:57 pmPatriot ~ I hear tell Rove’s got about 345,00 chickens looking for a place to return to…
April 18th, 2008 at 1:59 pmCould a new, real Department of Justice really go after Rove and those involved after they are out of power?
April 18th, 2008 at 1:59 pmEr, 345,000 ! damn zero placeholders anyhoo!
April 18th, 2008 at 1:59 pmFOX: “When news breaks, we’ll fix it.”
April 18th, 2008 at 2:01 pmFOX: “The political team that guards the henhouse.”
FOX: “Sly and Red”. (sounds like this should be a new political pundit team!)
FOX: Far Unbalanced.
FOX and Fiends, the Devil is in the details.
Texaslady-
I had the chilling experience of listening to a bunch of drunk Greenberg-Taurig (Tallahassee) lawyers boast in June 2000 about how “Florida was in the bag”, the day after their meeting with “Dubya, Jeb and Karl”.
It still makes me regurgitate when I think about it. They’re not going to stop until someone does hard time.
April 18th, 2008 at 2:01 pmIs anyone watching O’right????!!!!
April 18th, 2008 at 2:01 pmWhat’s with the proliferation of ugly pastelish ties on these jerks? First it’s Hannity’s pinkish tie, now Morris in mauve.
April 18th, 2008 at 2:02 pmWho dresses these clowns, certainly not their mommies?
A Patriot Acting Says:
soeone like Edwards in the AG spot.
I’ve fantasized having Jonathan Turley as AG. Everytime I hear him speak he is blunt, precise, to the point, and Constitutionally sound.
April 18th, 2008 at 2:04 pmTexaslady, I may be wrong but from what I read in the patriot act it state’s very clearly we can not go after any one in this administration once they are out of office.~Blessings~
April 18th, 2008 at 2:06 pmRUCerious, obviously you lack an artistic gene. Those ties are “fair and balanced” combinations of Democratic blue and Republican red, in the purple hues.
April 18th, 2008 at 2:06 pmI also understood that once out of office, they are home free. Too bad laws are only for the “little people,” like tax payers.
April 18th, 2008 at 2:18 pmWasn’t the Patriot Act the one installed to really, really protect us. Yeah, right. How about letting us have our rights back. Repeal the Patriot Act.
April 18th, 2008 at 2:20 pmHow intellectually lazy do you have to be to listen to this idiot?
April 18th, 2008 at 2:23 pmWell the press is still quoting Gingrich so pretty much tells you how lazy we have all gotten.
April 18th, 2008 at 2:29 pmYes
Chimpy can (and must) be indicted after leaving office ; if that type of language was or even is written into the Patriot Act , it would be ruled unconstitutional.
Ford pardoned Nixon for this very reason ; once Nixon left the office, he no longer enjoyed immunity and could have been (i.e. would have been) charged as a regular citizen.
April 18th, 2008 at 2:34 pmUSA Today just ran a story about IRS & ‘celebrity’ taxes owed.
‘Lil Dickie Morris apparently owes $1.5 Million in back taxes.
Did Bild’O mention that little gem?
I thought not…

April 18th, 2008 at 3:26 pmA person who pervades the domain of intellectual speculation and diffuses himself through the channels of moral activity. He is omnific, omniform, omnipercipient, omniscience, omnipotent. He it was who invented letters, printing, the railroad, the steamboat, the telegraph, the platitude and the circle of the sciences. He created patriotism and taught the nations war — founded theology, philosophy, law, medicine and Chicago. He established monarchical and republican government. He is from everlasting to everlasting — such as creation’s dawn beheld he fooleth now. In the morning of time he sang upon primitive hills, and in the noonday of existence headed the procession of being. His grandmotherly hand was warmly tucked-in the set sun of civilization, and in the twilight he prepares Man’s evening meal of milk-and-morality and turns down the covers of the universal grave. And after the rest of us shall have retired for the night of eternal oblivion he will sit up to write a history of human civilization.”
PLC @#33 ~ When the artistic gene was being handed out, I was in the back yard, climbing a tree.
April 18th, 2008 at 4:06 pmLeave it to the chymp to try to pardon himself.
April 18th, 2008 at 4:07 pmToe-sucking Dick once called Bill Clinton “a great President and a great man,” and in his book, Behind the Oval Office, he said Hillary Clinton is “warm, decent, sincere and sensitive, a tireless crusader for children and an excellent wife and mother.”
April 18th, 2008 at 4:23 pmWhat a maroon. Only a jackass like billo would say something like that in public. Lucky for him anyone watching his show is as stupid and will hardly notice.
