Most Egregious Clip Of The Week: w/ Crooksandliars.com & TYT On O'Reilly's Baseless Smears

[ihavenobias]

John Amato of crooksandliars.com joins Cenk to break down the most outrageously idiotic video clip featured on his site. Our good friend Bill O'Reilly fires some baseless smears towards Arianna Huffington this week (yes, somehow she and the site have been compared to nazis and the KKK).

PS---Tuesday night (March 4th) there will be awesome primary coverage by TYT at www.theyoungturks.com and simulcast on www.bravenewfilms.org . There is a live chat, live blogging and live polling of all viewers. And of course there are up to the minute updates on the election. The best part? Check out the amazing guest lists they have (Super Tuesday for example, new guest list should be up soon): http://bravenewfilms.org/network/5-super-tuesday

Stop supporting corporate, mainstream media coverage and support progressive programming that is more informative, entertaining and commercial free.

Also, you can always watch TYT Live from 3-5 pm ET, with a Rolling Post Game 5-7 pm daily Monday-Friday at www.theyoungturks.com The RPG often contains political talk but also many non-political topics to lighten things up (and yes, that audio may not necessarily be work-safe).

Also, if you can't watch live, the 3-5pm portion of the show (politics) streams the rest of the day, all day right after the Post Game Show ends leading up to the initial show at 3pm.

1. O'Reilly and his "no spin zone" -- interpretation: agree with me or SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!

What a pathetic turd.

2. Did you notice his conservative blogger guest mentioned DU?

I thought that was funny. Although in her defense, she (surprisingly) sounded *relatively* reasonable compared to O'Reilly. Sure that's not saying much but still.

3. Unfortunately, the kind of behavior he describes can be observed at DU.

That doesn't make Skinner a Nazi or his behavior Nazi-like. But O'Reilly has a point in condemning those comments, but he doesn't have the brainpower to say it with any level of rational demeanor.

4. I'm not sure that's fair though

there are some crazies and jerks on MOST political websites, so I don't see why DU would be singled out.

And the nazi comment is very specific and not a good analogy IMO.

5. Bump! n/t

6. I'll be curious to know if O'Reilly mentions the issue tomorrow

Go ahead, watch it and let me know. ;)
