O'Reilly on his radio show today, in what can only be an attempt to make the Worst Person in World List AGAIN, calls Gore out for attending the Netroots Nation which he likened to attending a Klan Rally. Apparently Bill-O was pissed that Tony Snow's lies were mentioned in some of the diaries written after his death.
Take a listen:
This isn't much of diary, but what else is there to say. This is just a case of Bill-O being Bill-O. I guess he was a little steamed at Fox News being labled 'Opinion Media'
Here's the transcript for those who can't hear the audio:
Transcript:
O’REILLY: Ok, now he shows up on Saturday at the most hateful, there is not — and I’m including the Nazis and the Klan in here — there is not a more hateful group in the country than these Daily Kos people. Now, will they come to your house and hurt you? I don’t know, probably not. But, do they want to hurt you? Do they say terrible things about Tony Snow when he dies? All day long. Ok. Hateful hateful hateful. The rhetoric that they use and the rhetoric that the Klan and the Nazis use are the same rhetoric. It’s hate. Everyone knows that.
Now why would you go to a convention sponsored by these people when you know that currently on the Kos is stuff about Tony Snow, it’s good that he’s dead, he’s in hell, all of that. But Gore did, Gore went there. So did Nancy Pelosi. That disqualifies Gore from any serious consideration by me in the future. Al Gore now is done. He’s done. Ok. He is not a man of respect, he doesn’t have any judgment. The fact that he went to this thing is the same as if he stepped into the Klan gathering. It’s the same. No difference. None. K, he loses all credibility with me. All credibility.
Here's the link to Think Progress who broke the story (as far as I can tell).
Update: I guess this is par for the course for O' Reilly who compared last years Yearly Kos to a David Duke convention.
