O’Reilly compares Markos Moulitsas to David Duke.

O’Reilly compares Markos Moulitsas to David Duke.»

On Fox News’s The O’Reilly Factor last night, Bill O’Reilly attacked Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas by calling him “one of the most despicable Americans in the country.” Noting that Moulitsas writes a column for Newsweek, O’Reilly compared him to white supremacist David Duke:

And Newsweek magazine, by the way, has legitimized [Moulitsas] by giving him a columnist position. I talked to the editor by email, and I said I can’t believe that you’re — that’s like hiring David Duke. Again, I use Duke too much, but I have to — the level of hatred coming out of that website is unprecedented. Isn’t it?

Watch it:

Last year, O’Reilly attacked the YearlyKos convention — which was named after, but not sponsored by Moulitsas — by saying it was like “a David Duke convention.”

    “Falafel O’Reilly is one of the most despicable Americans in the country. A pervert, sexual preditor who twists facts to show his own sick views for the Reichwingers.”


  2. Badmoodman Says:

    Bill O. is morphing into John Gibson even quicker than I expected.


  3. zuch Says:

    O’Lielly is an expert on hate and frothing (and frothing with a loofah). He’d know.

    “Shut up! Just shut up!”

    Cheers,

    Um, apparently it’s NOT unprecedented if Duke was doing it first.

    Just sayin’

    Did O’racist show him his dance remix</em>?


  6. Shayne Says:

    Congrats Markos. You must be doing something right.

    “…by calling him “one of the most despicable Americans in the country.”

    Damn, I always thought O’Liely was a fan of King George the Dumb. When did he wake up and join the ranks of those with IQ’s greater than their shoe size? O’Liely must think he is safe now that John Conyers has set his sights on KKKarl. To paraphrase that old poem: Oh what a tangled web we weave when we first practice to hide our ignorance with mouthiness. (A little weak but I haven’t had my afterdinner Viagra yet!)

    What a crime FOX has endured this long.


  9. Nevar Says:

    O’Really may be actually serving a higher purpose.
    Now that he is known as the most erroneous and absurd talking head ever, he creates interest in the entities he attacks, getting more people to listen to those same voices of reason and logic O’Billy can’t handle.


  10. Shayne Says:

    Shouldn’t it tell O’Reilly something that Moulitsas got hired by Newsweek and O’Reilly got fired by everybody but Fox.


  11. Chocolate Jesus Says:

    more proof the right wing fudge packers and 90 percent of their supporters, including the trolls on this site, are a bunch of total feminized simps who dish dirt and spew venom all day then whine and cry about how hatefully the poor liberals treat them when they get a taste of their own medicine…

    karmas a biatch, O’Lilly..


  12. Nevar Says:

    I think there’s a large percentage of overweight, overmedicated, and generally comatose slobs to go along with the feminized simps.

    O’Reilly’s a scumbag. That’s not newsworthy.

    This is:

    Markos “KOS” has admitted he worked for the CIA for “six months,” applying to be a spy.

    Listen to the audio if you don’t like the slideshow.

    Kos’ ignorant take on CIA atrocities is enough. This man would be a “leader” of the opposition???

    He didn’t like the first assignment the CIA offered him, and so it appears as though he’s on special “Mockingbird” assignment instead.

    His policies at DailyKos in favor or the 9/11 cover up were enough to disgust me.

    Brad Blog seems to have Markos’ number too:

    In an age awash in big lies and constant propagnda, I have no reason to trust a CIA wannabee like KOS.

    Shorter BillO

    I hate you more than you hate me, Markos. Nah nah nah. [Throws jacket on floor, stomps on it and runs crying off the stage.]


  15. aquarius2 Says:

    All Billo does is sputter and spew. Used to make me mad but he just makes me laugh. He is a high paid clown.


  16. joe cantwell Says:

    this has been a bad week for billy…

    maybe tomorrow will be better.


  17. SP Biloxi Says:

    Blowhard BillO is just a yawner. He is still spinning the Wheel of Attack. This week it is Daily Kos founder. Next week maybe Ms. Huffington. Must be slow in real reporting for BillO. He had his 15 minutes of fame with his F-Bomb rant video exposed on Youtube last week. Pass the popcorn please…


  18. nellre Says:

    I won’t go to Kos’ site anymore. It’s more hateful than anything O’Reilly has ever done IMHO.

    I have seen the enemy and he is us. (Pogo)

    I like Ham.

    (ralph just shakes his head)


  21. johnsom Says:

    True, O’Reilly is a blowhard. He just happens to be right in this case.

    As a matter of fact, the entire left-wing blogoshpere is equivalent to David Duke.


  22. jay_severin_has_a_small_pen1s Says:

    I actually saw this live…while I was flipping through the channels. They labeled her as ‘an internet expert’. she basically wrapped her fat lips around his lie-hole for the whole time. It was painful.

    At some point, Bill O’Reilly will have to criticize something a Republican does. Doesn’t he?


  23. shellyT Says:

    Bill O’Reilly is a nutcase, but the Daily Kos is a hate site. It’s hate is directly towards women and Hillary Clinton. I and most other women who supported Clinton at any point in her career avoid it like the plague.

    Markos is not like David Duke, but he does tolerate hate speech. In face he fosters it and gives it a site on which to grow. He’s more like an anti-feminist. He’s no progressive, in fact he seems runs to be running an anti-women blog. I think his influence, like Bill O’Reilly’s, is falling fast.

  25. progressive homeschooler Says:

    Every time Orally spews Kos hate, he sends more people over there. Some actually explore the site, realize what a blow hard Billo is, and end up staying at Kos.

    I read KOS, I have to call bu**sh** on this.

    Of course, I have been critical about Hillary’s Rebub-lite senate voting record ( and Iraq war vote ) since before she started running for president.

    WE’LL DO IT LIVE!!!!!!!


  28. christopher wiwi Says:

    Poor Billo he can only spew hatred and accusations because he really does not have a clue, his Reich Wing hatred is the most vile hatred in the land and the left hates the Vile hatred of the right, we on the left are not perfect but we only spew hate towards the Reich`s statements .I don`t hate the Reich I hate what they stand for and what they preach ie, discrmination towards women and minorities, hate towards wanting our soldiers home, hate towards working class people and of course evrything we stand for on the left. As I see it those on the right are unamerican because they don`t want a new G.I. Bill,they don`t want the middle class, they don`t want universal health care,they don`t want our enviroment cleaned up and they want immunity for everything they did ,so I don`t hate the Reich,only what they belive in and that`s all wrong for America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  29. theswan Says:

    There is always a Bill O standard of right. Markos is wrong for Newsweek but Billy Kristol is right for the New York Times.
    And David Duke. David Duke and Bill O are just one in the same. Is his use of David just to bring him back from obscurity?


  30. Cal Malenky Says:

    Methinks he doth project too much.


  31. GeeDubs Says:

    I asked this yesterday, but does anyone know why it says ‘Your comment is awaiting moderation?’


  32. The Shadow Says:

    Bill O’Reily is the world’s biggest hypocrit. He talks about spreading hate, yet he works for Fox News. Fox News was founded by a jerk who hates blacks, mexicans, and anyone who isn’t white. That so called news channel is nothing more than a hate filled propaganda station. So for Bill O has no room to call anyone names after all of the bull_hit he’s done just in the past 2 years. Apparently he forgot about the comments after going to a resturant run by African Americans. This racist idiot thought people would be yelling, cursing and dancing like fools. But when they acted like normal people, he was stunned. Why? Because racists like ORielly, have all of these negative sterotypes in their narrow minds. Shut up Bill you stupid A_ _hole, you got no right calling anyone racist or anything else. You sexual harrassing jerk, you need to apoligize to that producer and get some professional help for you little mind. Bill O you might be 6′7″, but you are a little man and your world is a sick place.


  33. Leftside Annie Says:

    I’m proud to be a KOSsack. If Billo and every other reichwing lying evil bag of ugly hates me for it, then GOOD.

    The more they hate me, the more surely I know I’m speaking truth.

    EFF YOU, Billo. Drop dead.


  34. Shayne Says:

    Look at the new breed of trolls. O’Reilly is nuts by Kos is the worst. Really trollies you should do a better job of rewriting your talking points. The cut and paste job you Clintonistas are doing is just too obvious. Oh, and that ship has sailed.


  35. Shayne Says:

    Geedubs, it means you went into the spam bin and somebody has to be around to retrieve you or delete you. There are some swear words that get you sent there usually as they’d apply to Hillary.
