well, there are good and bad points to that argument! On Real Time this week, it was brought up that the guy who shot people at a church did it because he knew he couldn't get to the people on the O'Reilly list!
This week thank goodness Bill Maher went back to his regular format of bringing all of the guests in together unlike last week's stinker of a show. Thank you Bill. The panel of Andrew Ross Sorkin, Kerry Washington, Bernie Sanders and Keith Olbermann discussed the hatred and outright craziness that's coming out of the likes of Glenn Beck and others on the right and the danger of whipping up some of the fringe elements of our society with their rhetoric. Maher: Listening to people like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck these days, I cannot figure out whether these right wingers are more dangerous when they're in power or when they're out of power, because when they're out of power, you know their paranoid, their paranoia goes off the charts. This Glenn Beck guy, I wouldn't even give him the time of day except he's a big star now on Fox and a lot of people believe, and he's talking about FEMA concentration camps. Olbermann: Yeah... Maher: He says we are headed toward socialism, totalitarianism... Olbermann: Yeah... Maher:...beyond your wildest imagination, but apparently not beyond his wildest imagination. Washington: Right, right. Sorkin: Did you see what he said about that? He said I can't prove these FEMA concentration camps, but let me tell you about them anyway. Washington: Yeah, yeah. Sorkin: You'd think it would be the opposite. Olbermann: Can I quote Madeleine Albright? Maher: Please. Olbermann: He's nuts. Maher: You know I would never be the person who says that you have to watch what you say because some borderline nut...no really...I'm not for that. No, no, that's an argument that's given a lot. You can't say this because a borderline might take it and then do this. I'm sorry but that's the price of living in a free speech country and I do want to live in one because I make my living at it. Okay. But you know I must say Tim McVeigh in 1995 if you recall, this was the same kind of talking that made him blow up that building. Olbermann: The guy who walked into the church in Tennessee said in his statement to the police that he did this because he could not shoot the liberals who were on the lists from Bernie Goldberg, and Bernie Goldberg has proceeded to come out with another list of liberals and this time I'm on the list so this is even more vivid in my mind now. So yeah you're absolutely right about that. I think what you're seeing with, I mean I have been accused occasionally of sort of bordering on Howard Beale. Hey I got nothing on this guy for Howard Beale. http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/real-time-how-dangerous-hate-talk-right ----- Original Message ----- From: DUG Nunya-Bidness To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2009 11:57 PM Subject: {Dawgs/Dittos} Re: O'Reilly lies Exactly, the FEW that 'might' check it out afterwards is worth the exposure.

I heard O'Reilly does something now where he features a list of the 5 worst liberal people or organizations. Some he listed were Janeane Garofolo and Kos, NY Times, etc You know how it is when people don't have their own ideas, they steal ideas from other people! ----- Original Message ----- From: DUG Nunya-Bidness To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2009 4:44 PM Subject: {Dawgs/Dittos} Re: O'Reilly lies It could've said "News Flash: O'Reilly lies". LMAO -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bill Johnson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2009 1:43:55 PM Subject: {Dawgs/Dittos} O'Reilly lies O'Liarlly: Left-wing press will have a field day blaming Bush Saturday, March 21, 2009 The other day, a left-wing reporter named Seymour Hersh went on MSNBC and said he had information, provided by the usual anonymous sources, that Dick Cheney was running an assassination squad out of the White House. I have but one simple observation: If Cheney really had such a crew, Hersh would have been dead a long time ago, and so would most everybody at MSNBC. Would they not? In the months to come, we can expect all kinds of horror stories from the left about alleged Bush-Cheney atrocities. These will deflect attention from present-day problems and provide liberal thinkers with the intense indignation they so desperately need. In addition, the bevy of Bush-Cheney sins will supply the media and individual opportunists with “product.” So, in order to get ahead of this inevitable situation, I will now predict some future headlines: — Newsweek will report that Bernard Madoff has told unidentified friends that it was George W. Bush who actually forced him to develop the $65 billion Ponzi scheme that ruined thousands of people. Friends of Bernie say Madoff was ready to be an honest broker until Bush came to him in a dream and urged him to commit massive financial fraud. Also, Newsweek’s “Periscope” feature hears that it was W who told Jim Cramer to recommend Bear Stearns. — In his new book, “Squealing,” Jose Canseco writes that he injected George W. Bush with steroids when W was owner of the Texas Rangers and again in the Oval Office immediately before the president met with Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Canseco dismisses claims that W’s mountain bike regimen kept him toned and says the Iraq invasion was actually caused by “roid rage.” — The New York Times will run a Page-One story saying that after the Iraqi shoe guy embarrassed Bush in Baghdad, the president himself waterboarded the man and kept him tied up in a cold room while looping excerpts from Wolf Blitzer’s program at high sound levels. The Times, citing unidentified sources close to the footwear industry, will allege the shoe guy gave up bad information because torture never works. — Vanity Fair magazine, in between pictures of Lindsay Lohan partying in Baja, will present a most startling scenario: It was Cheney who contaminated peanut butter with E. coli because, according to anonymous sources speaking only to VF, the VP had “had it” with the kids. — Finally, Will Ferrell will star in a new movie called “Crawford Nights: The Ballad of Dickie/Georgie.” In this film directed by Oliver Stone, it will be purported that the real head of the Cali drug cartel was George W. Bush, with Cheney as consigliere. The screenplay, written by Sean Penn and Jessica Alba, is being closely guarded, but word is that it will portray Cheney as the guy who provided Michael Phelps with the substance-filled bong. So it will likely be a busy 2009 for the Bush-Cheney team. No doubt they are the perfect stimulus package for the far left. — Bill O’Reilly is a veteran news anchor and host of Fox News show “The O’Reilly Factor” and author of the book “Who’s Looking Out For You?” http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2009/mar/21/left-wing-press-will-have-a-field-day-blaming/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WebTV Dawgs/Dittos" group.
