Billo Scolds Democrats For Planning To Attend YearlyKos

It's becoming increasingly painful to watch this man's slow descent into insanity, but hey, it's my job...

Never one to let go of a bone, Billo continues his ridiculous gnawing on DailyKos, and its offshoot convention, YearlyKos. O'Reilly's "memo" for the night counsels all the Democratic presidential candidates against attending YearlyKos, lest they be tainted by association of a site that "traffics in hate." Hillary Clinton's Communication Director Howard Wolfson does a yeoman's job of trying to pierce through Bill's insanity and attempt to inject a little rationality in the subject, but you know Bill is not going to let Howard have the last word.

WOLFSON: "The days where you can dictate where Senator Clinton and other Democrats go, who we talk to, are over."

Did we have those days to begin with?

Peter Daou responds (at DailyKos, *gasp!*) as well..

UPDATE: Cenk of The Young Turks thinks that it's time to label Fox News what it actually is: Fox Opinion...and he has a poll up in which he invites you all to participate:

Should institutions like Yearly Kos, the Democratic National Convention, and Democratic presidential campaigns give Fox "opinion media" credentials instead of the classic media credentials?

 Go vote and let's get honest about what Fox really is.

Hey BillO.....Timex called and your 15 minutes of "fame" are up. Get the hell off the air know nothing douchebag.

I still can't find that "violently overthrow the government" article on Kos... and I so wanted that pony too. :(

It is time that we start writing to those who advertise on the O'Reilly show and get him axed. Perhaps then he will have the time to get the treatment he so desperately needs. A padded room! Does anyone have a list? I don't have cable and only get one local channel, but from what I hear this clown has to go!

What a pile of crap! Hercules would have given up trying to clean the horseshit out of the Faux News Stables.

I couldn't even watch the whole clip, but I noticed that Bilious was reading comments, not any of the front page postings put up by the DailyKos staff. Anyone wanna bet they were troll posts?

jharp's picture

I'm sorry Mr. Wolfson didn't mention how lefty weblogs allow people to post freely as opposed to the censuring on the right.

That said, Bill O pretty much pissed me off with this one. Mostly because 30% will believe it.

I going fishing with my son for three days and fuck you Bill O"Reilly. Keep at 'em C & L.

Could it be time to switch the knob to 'ignore' now, regarding falafel boy and his attacks on Dkos?

I hate making him happy by enabling his thinking that he actually has an impact. Bad enough he got to JetBlue.

Otay's picture

Message to those progressives who must be on the O'Reilly show. Go on the attack, not the defense. Talk about Michelle Malkin's hate-filled posts - Malkin herself, not comments from some people to the posts and ask why she is a co-host for Bill. Talk about Coulter. There are many examples. Defending loses. Attacking wins.

Dems still have not learned this simple lesson. It disgusts me.

Eternal Vigilance's picture

What's become of our white christian male power structure? Can't a guy use his Fox News soapbox to unilaterally dictate terms to his political enemies anymore? Geez.

Hey Billy, tomorrow's Wednesday. What pants should I wear?

Punchy's picture

So basically, he's painting himself into a corner, because all blogs, rw and lw, have to police every single of the hundreds of posts they get in a day. O'Reilly is bitching about kos comparative to his site where hate-speech is not tolerated which is #1 a lie and #2 different, because his posters have to register and be accepted, where most you know, normal internet blogs, open their posting to anyone.

I have seen people get threatened with guns on Michelle Malkin's blog. Not recently, but at least once in the past. Wanna know how I know that, cause I was the one threatened. And not guns, but threats on Conservative Life (gone I think now), Powerline, Ace of Spades, and DEFINITELY FreeRepublic are not unusual. Hell, one of their writers sent white powder to several Americans. What the hell, idiot O'Reilly? And his old people viewers buy it - hook, line, and sinker.

Punchy's picture

And to add to my comment, O'Reilly's blog has a helluva lot less posters than kos, making it easier to delete.

myiq2xu's picture

Too bad there's no way to turn up the intelligence on the Faux News Channel. I tried the "Brightness" knob but that didn't work.

getalife's picture

They do not have a counter to Yearly Kos so all they can do is attack.

Bonkers's picture

Ok, no; I tried. I listened to about 30 seconds and then the size and shape of his Big Giant Head created an optical illusion that it was forcing it's way out of my monitor and into my room, his hands making grotesque waving fan shapes to either side. Had to shut it off.

Brrrr. Repulsive little man.

I am so glad he knows.

Somebody tell this son of a bitch that Mitt Romney at the AIPAC meet said something on the lines - " It's a good thing to go ( on stage ) after Ann Coulter. " Not just that, Romney had in fact been very proud of Ann Coulter's endorsement.

But there's something more sinister that everyone in the media seems to have missed about another Republican, Fred Thompson - that goofball whose imminent announcement has the conservative base salivating - he actually chose the hate site Little Green Footballs to release his ' memo on Israel ' on the internet.

It took me all of 25 seconds to find that racist post on Michellemalkin.com.

Sure, the guy was outraged because they were talking about that vile scumbag that raped child family members, but you know, that's what the blogosphere is all about.
But leave it to O'Reilly to convince his 62 year old computer-illiterate voting viewers to think that Daily Kos promotes hate speech and...KKK and Nazism.
What a piece of shit.

Please send this to Clinton's (and the other Dem candidate's) spokespeople, to provide them with ammo next time they decide to appear on these propaganda shows.

Notice how Bill labels anyone who wants to us to leave Iraq as "far left". In other words, the majority of Americans are "far left".

Poor guy. Next thing you know, everyone and his or her dog will be "far left" by O'Reilly's standards, leaving Bill the only "centrist" around.

Poor Bill. He's not fair, and he's certainly not "balanced". ;)

Snowball's picture

I submit that a large number, if not the majority of hateful comments at Liberal websites are the work of right wing trolls engaged in triple D operations. Triple D stands for Distract, Divide and Discredit. It was a tactic employed during the Vietnam war by law enforcement agencies to disrupt the anti-war movement and leftist organizations. First they infiltrate an organization, then they float misleading conspiracy theories, disrupt meetings, advocate illegal activities and attack Progressive leaders and otherwise sow discord. It's not a new tactic and it has become much more prevalent and easy to do with the advent of the anonymity of the internet.

Angry One's picture

Perhaps O'Reilly thinks it's time for GOP candidates to boycott the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). After all, that's where Ann Coulter unleashed her John Edwards "faggot" slur...

Punchy's picture

Well, I sent it right to that nasty bitch Malkin, but as usual people don't go on those Foxnews shows prepared and appear to lose a can't-miss argument.

Oh, and please don't let my cursing or negatory comments be seen as a reflection of the proprietors of Crooksandliars.com. Bill - you assclown dumbshit. See, we're not fucking internet and altogether retarded like you and understand how, you know, widespread community freethinking works and not the robotic mindsharing sheep that apparently congregate at your idiotic website. (But really don't, and post the same kind of hatespeech you find on every comment board on the web).

Ignore this guy and write to all progressives who appear on his show to stop doing so. This guy needs to be put into a vacuum because let's be honest, there is a certain percentage of people who will always live in this vacuum and believe whatever he says. Put pressure on his guests and his advertisers and because it's a business first and foremost, if the $ isn't being generated Billo will be replaced. We might not like the replacement, but by that point we'll have shown Fox that the opposition is fully capable of costing them ratings and revenue when someone spews outright lies or worse.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. Ignoring what he (and others like him) is saying does nothing to awaken the general public to the existence of his "hate speech". The key is to knock his financial support out from under him, thereby forcing his ouster. And that can only be done if we keep the pressure up.

Billo schmillo. He's a loser no matter how many losers watch his show.

Bill O's program is such a fount of love and tolerance in comparison to DailyKos. Yeah, right! Hey Bill are you listening? Bill, you are a sad, sad excuse for what's called journalism at Faux Noise. Add me to the list of people who think you have a lot to learn about raising the level of political debate to respectable levels.

Chris's picture

Wolfson's a fool. By debating on O'Reilly's show he's giving him more importance.

Simply ignore O'Reilly, for O'Reilly is nothing more than an obnoxious big mouth who panders to the beer hall republicans with his selective out of context sound bites.

Given time, ignored and marginalized, O'Reilly will disappear.

JD21's picture

Bill should talk about what's important. My gosh Gonzales was really sad today. This guy is a joke. What's much more pathetic though, is that Republicans are putting up with this in their party. And that it's far from the first time. Remember how they rallied around Rumsfeld for so long even after it was clear for so long he was falling down on the job with our boys dying as a result? Or how they tried to cover up Foley to save his seat and themselves from the fallout of the negative publicity of the truth would bring? Or how Bush told that dope Brownie he was doing a "heckuva job"? This is beyond partisan. What the Republicans have become is just sad for America.

I totally disagree. His viewers are voters and they are believing this shit he's shoving at them. These progressives that go on his program are woefully unprepared. Why didn't Wolfson have like, two temps open some right wing websites and pick some comments out and go on the air with them?
O'Reilly has tremendous influence and Democratic candidates don't take these shows seriously, and that's why old people vote Republican. Because they are believing everything O'Reilly is telling them because unprepared mutterers go on these programs and get owned. And if they don't show up at all - well, then little Billy must be right..

I am gonna sell "Impeach O’Reilly" buttons at the county fair illegally next spring, see if any of dem ex bush lovers will say anything bout it.

It's simple folks. O'reilly gets the same 2 million sheep watching his show each nite. Most of them are over 70, but they are numbers. He panders to them because in his world 2 million is a big number. Those are the people who still beleive Bush is doing a good job. 99% of his audience thinks Bush is doing a good job. So he goes after progressives with a vengence to placate his audience. He is a low life pervert who does this country a great disservice.

Strawberry's picture

So. do ya think Billo or one of his minions is reading THESE comments? With the size of Bill's ego, I'll bet ya' dimes to donuts, he is. So Bill, how's this for left wing, ya little pisher! SUCK MY CLIT! And since you're a repug, I'll need to explain that clit is short for clitoris...oh, you're unsure what that is...? Your poor wife. Wikipedia is just a click away, oh wait, they're liberal, well check conservapedia....wait...they don't know either? What a surprise. Never mind, Bill, right wing guys need a GPS to find it anyways....

Cheese Alert

50 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Airport security officers around the nation have been alerted by federal officials to look out for terrorists practicing to carry explosive components onto aircraft, based on four curious seizures at airports since last September.

Milwaukee, June 4. A U.S. person's carryon baggage contained wire coil wrapped around a possible initiator, an electrical switch, batteries, three tubes and two blocks of cheese. The bulletin said block cheese has a consistency similar to some explosives.

Baltimore, Sept. 16, 2006. A couple's checked baggage contained a plastic bag with a block of processed cheese taped to another plastic bag holding a cellular phone charger.

OMG, Bill! Only the "far left" wants to withdraw from Iraq (according to your analysis, which is truth incarnate), which means 59% of Americans are now "far left"! Oh Noes, 'Murika is going "far left", Bill!

I can't remember the exact figures, but at one point I took the median age of the lying sack of shit's viewers-63 (probably 65 now..that was a couple years ago), and the percentage of people over 65 who can't work the internet (I can't remember if it was a half or a third) to get some huge portion of O'Lielly's audience that can't figure out how to do a google search or open an email account. So basically, he can say anything that he wants about Kos, and for the most part, even if his drooling zombie audience got inclined to fact check him, they couldn't do so.

Remember the righteous anger will be upon you because of you gay behavior and your CHOICES to be gay will be punished in a special hell just for you. You should start rehabilitation today the church will be ready to help you.

Perhaps YearlyKos could avoid the 'hate' rap by not mentioning O'Reilly's name.

What I find most disturbing, and baffling, is that there are actually people that are stupid and arrogant and gullible enough to accept or believe one single word that this contemptuous man has to say.

It is a painful experience for any thoughtful, caring person to sit through an entire segment of his ridiculous show. Who might these sheeple be, that are so easily, so blindly, misled?

Peace!

Bill is a great man who everyone would be well served to listen. Including you, you should start reading you're bible young man/woman. Stop listening to the devil and listen to the lord and if I knew what Jesus sounded like I am sure he would sound like Bill.

The proper response for guests of O'Reilly

"Decide for yourselves. Go to dailykos.com and decide if you agree with Bill O'Reilly that it's a hate site. Then compare with a prominent right wing blog like freerepublic.com. Which do you think is the hate site?"

Did he say "dominant"? Was that a freudian slip or something? Man is he betting the farm on this one, he must be desperate.

Amen... why give O'Lie-ly the attention he doesn't deserve? He's always trying to prop up his sagging ratings by provoking a reaction... why even bother posting videos of this moron, he's just not worth noticing.

bamboozled's picture

Well, I think we should all partake in an idea put forth in a prior comment:

Let's give Bill a taste of his own medicine.

1) We'll make a little greatest hits of his hateful comments (let the terrorists blow up San Francisco, etc.)

2) We'll do what he did, and include comments from his viewers and posts on his blog.

Then send the choice bits to the list of advertisers. "Is this the kind of hate speech you want to support? Calling on Al Qaeda to blow up Americans in San Francisco? Etc. Etc."

You can bet your ass if they get enough letters, they'll put Bill O out of business.

WF's picture

O'Reilly reads a couple of troll postings on air and uses them to launch a ridiculously broad swipe at Kos. Anyone that has ever browsed free speech forums, like this one, knows a troll post when they read one. Including O'Reilly. He knows it's just a stupid comment in a free speech forum, likely made by a immature and pissed off republican, or worse.

This is what Wolfson's rebuttal should have been:

"Bill, it's a free speech forum at Kos. Anybody can post there and say pretty much anything, unlike your tightly controlled forums, Bill, where users have to pay to join and post comments which are heavily moderated. That's the difference, Bill. Kos is free speech. Your site isn't. And by the way, Kos figures it's readers can handle the trolls. Kos readers don't need to be protected from other points of view, even inflammatory, illogical ones."

jimbo92107's picture

Gosh, I just can't tell whether Democrats should take Bill O'Reilly's advice or not about Daily Kos.
Has Daily Kos been a disaster for Democrats before?
Was DKos a disaster for Democrats in 2006?

Has Bill O'Reilly established a reputation as a sound political adviser for Democrats? Hmm...

Some people might find themselves a wee bit wary of a man who uses the most inflammatory posts found on Kos (or invents them) and deliberately portrays them as typical of the site, which in fact has a very liberal editorial policy. Kos doesn't censor people for colorful language, unless it's a barrage of humorless non-stop cussing, a personal attack on another blogger, a physical threat or some other rhetorically dysfunctional stunt.

As for Hilary Clinton, I don't trust her any farther than I can drop-kick a dead cat, which is about three feet, because they don't bounce hardly at all. Others might express their opinions in a different mode, given the inevitable variations in rhetorical skill, metaphorical inventiveness, social sensitivity or just their level of blind outrage. But at the same time I do know that the soul of a politician is mostly made of play dough, and it can be shaped by the force of public opinion. Where are more and more Democratic politicians hearing the voice of the people? Warts and all, progressive and liberal Democrats are sounding off on the Daily Kos.

Bill O'Reilly is a bully with a gift (a compulsion?) for spewing non-stop bullshit. As such, he's perfect for Fox News, which traffics in bullshit, 24-7-365. Anybody that doesn't understand that by now can be counted among the dwindling supply of right wing rubes that once voted for other bullshitters like George Bush. Gradually - painfully - even they are learning from their mistakes.

Nobody seems to get it. Until every Democrat and self-respecting person refuses to interview or go on FOX for ANYTHING, nothing will change. Everyone lines up to get their face on TV and don't care that they feed the perceived legitimacy of the network. Have all strategists and politicians boycott it, lest they fall prey to it.

You can always tell how threatened the right wing nut jobs are of something or someone by how viciously they attack it. The DailyKos should take it as a compliment that it's getting so much attention from "Pappa Bear" (as Colbert likes to call him). Can you imagine the kind of people who actually listen to Bill O'Lielly and take him seriously? Pretty creepy. Here's the thing... If BO was talking about something noncontroversial or nonpolitical, just his attitude and tone of his voice would be a major turn off for most normal people. He's just such a total dick.

Nicole asks: Did we have those days to begin with?

We sure did. Right after 9/11. Pols all rolled over for anything the administration wanted. And the media was even more intimidated by the radical right. The slightest hint of criticism of Dubya was met with shrieks of treason from Billo, Coultergeist Limberger, and Uncle Dickhead. Dubya doesn't get a bye - he's just too stupid to react without being told to. Yes, I do believe he's stupid. I'm not buying into the "he's smart, but inarticulate" spin. The man is a freakin' moron.

Opened it up, saw it was almost 8 minutes of Billo. Too much for me. Just as long the candidates don't do a debate on Faux, I am happy.

Mug's picture

Bill-O and others like him have brought political discourse down to the level of a junior high playground.
His argument ammounts to simply repeating "hate site, hate site, hate site" over and over. there is no room for any rational discussion. Name-calling and obscenities happen on Kos and ony other blog site. So what.
I'd like to register my contempt for Billy-O. I wouldn't be unhappy if he picked up a mean case of the crabs...
Oh no! does that means C&L is a hate site too...!

Big deal, most policitians are brainwashed by AIPAC, the corporations, "god" and a whole lot of other things. And O'Reilly is so embarrassingly stupid that he should take himself off the air.

I quess the same dolts that buy his books pay him money to add their 2 cents on his Premium page.

Why not do the same thing with Bill O'Reilly's site? When someone knows they're going to be discussing Daily Kos with Bill O'Reilly, they should come armed with a collection of cherry-picked comments from Bill's site.

perfect example of what should have been mentioned.

if you have a site that allows comment, you're going to get loons.. you're going to get strong opinions in all directions. this doesn't define the kos as a "hate" site. i've never seen anything on there that was all that radical. defining the site by its posters and spurious comments is ludicrous. bill knows this as well as anyone.
