Bill O'Reilly Show Still Haven For Nuttiness

All right, I'm livid. This will not stand. We have been subjected to many outrages from the Bill O'Reilly show, home of the falafelest falafel toter on television, but this goes too far:

O’Reilly: Progressive blog readers = ‘devil worshippers.’

On Fox News yesterday, Bill O’Reilly let loose on “far-left websites” like DailyKos, stating, “If you read these far-left websites, you’re a devil worshipper. You are.” O’Reilly’s ombudsman responded, “As a journalist, you know better than that.” O’Reilly shot back: “Satan is running the DailyKos. Yes, he is!”

You know, we're all used to the O'Reilly show being a haven for rank dishonesty, but this is over the top. It is one outrage too many, and a particularly loathsome outrage at that. It is vile, disgusting, and an insult to countless thousands of people. It is a complete warping of reality. It is pompous, arrogant, and intentionally fabricated. It is, most of all, the worst lie I have ever heard uttered on television, on any channel, in any situation, and the perpetrator should not only be fired, but barred from ever working in media ever again. This. Must. Not. Stand.

How dare -- how dare -- Bill O'Reilly's ombudsman call Bill-O a "journalist".

Simply outrageous.

Oh -- the Satan thing? Yeah, whatever. That's just Fox News catering to their base: insane people with a lot of free time who like watching other insane people with a lot of spare cash. I didn't know Satan was for healthcare for children, was against the United States torturing prisoners, wanted decent education in schools, and demanded non-insane energy policies, but I guess when you're a Republican those are all the sorts of thing you might attribute to the devil.

Hmm, maybe the Satanic part is taxing oil companies? That seems to be what the Republicans are most worked up over, at the moment. I must admit my favorite part of the Bible is when Jesus gets all mad and stuff and tries to throw the protesters out of the Exxon temple, and they're all "but think of the children!", and he's all "children nothing, you're screwing with da shareholders now, punks" and kicks their asses. Then he goes off to torture some prisoners.

Where was I... oh, right, Bill O'Reilly going off the deep end. I feel slightly bad about that -- I know whenever we mention him, he works himself up into a foam worthy of the finest latte -- but he just makes it too easy. And, after all, he did call it "satire".

So Fox News supports their "journalists" calling people agents of Satan under the banner of "satire". What else is new? They're a fake news network. At least they didn't claim Bat Boy was running for president as a Democrat -- they're saving that sweet scoop for Brit Hume.
