O’Reilly: Media Matters, Huff Post, Daily Kos ‘are fascists’ and anti-American
Last night on his Fox News program, Bill O’Reilly said that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) “doesn’t have anything to do” with progressive blogs because he can’t “control the kind of filth” they produce. “Talk about anti-Americanism,” O’Reilly said referring to blogs, adding: “Media Matters, Huffington Post, DailyKos, I mean, these are fascists. They’re dishonest people.”

Transcript:

O’REILLY: But Barack Obama - and I don’t believe this to be true, I could be wrong - he doesn’t have anything to do with what Media Matters or the DailyKos or any of these people do. I want everybody to be clear about this. None of the candidates can control the kind of filth and — talk about anti-Americanism, I mean these Media Matters –

INGRAHAM: — Yeah, it’s unbelievable. It’s unbelievable –

O’REILLY: — Huffington Post, DailyKos, I mean, these are fascists. They’re dishonest people.

2. O'Reilly doesn't know the difference between Fascism and Socialism
How can this guy keep a job. Fascism is corporate government, Socialism is a government benefiting the people.

9. Laura was till recently the hotter "blonde" commentator
However, between her medical problems and the hate rotting her from the inside she's starting to catch up to Coulter's ghoulish image.

It appears that she eats more than Coulter does though.

5. Watch out when the wingnuts blame you
You can bet that the wingnuts are doing that self-same dirty deed and doing it in spades and deflecting criticism by blaming the other guy for his crimes.

7. If anyone's an expert on filth, it's Billo.
Edited on Wed Mar-26-08 12:47 PM by Hong Kong Cavalier
Just ask him.

And when is he finally going to call for someone to rise up and "rid him of this meddlesome priest'?
It's what he really wants.
C'mon, Billo, let's get this Second Civil War started!

15. Not!!!!!!!!!

Reality check: Basically O'Reilly calls anyone who disagrees with him politically Anti-American Facists. And the reason they speak out is they love their country, we love America, that's why we report on the lies and the corruption by O'Reilly, Bush, Cheney, etc. All those liberals do is report on the corruption and illegal activity by O'Reilly, the Bush Administration, and the Republican party.

In the warped mind of Billy O'Reilly that's being Anti-American and Fascist. They quote him word for word and hang him with his own words, he calls that an Anti-American smear job by Fascists, when it is nothing more than the truth.

The founding fathers wanted the country to be: of the people, by the people, and for the people. O'Reilly has no problem with Republican bloggers doing that about Democrats, he only has a problem with liberal bloggers doing it to Republicans.

Now if you want to know what real fascism is, read this:

The 14 Points of Fascism

In his original article, "Fascism Anyone?", Laurence Britt compared the regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto, and Pinochet and identified 14 characteristics common to those fascist regimes.

1.) Powerful and Continuing Nationalism: Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

2.) Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights: Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

3.) Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause: The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4.) Supremacy of the Military: Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5.) Rampant Sexism: The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

Read the other 11 here:

http://oldamericancentury.org/14pts.htm

Call me crazy, but those 5 points of fascism pretty much describe O'Reilly, George W. Bush, and the Republican agenda for America. Not to mention the other 9 points of fascism show the same thing. So if anyone is a fascist, it's Bill O'Reilly, George W. Bush, and most (if not all) of the Republicans in Congress and the Senate.

16. he's really desperate and it shows
He's lost credibility even among his fellow fascist pundits. No one cares what he thinks anymore and it’s driving him batshit crazy.
