O'Reilly: Gore Going To Netroots Nation Like Going To "Klan Gathering"

Think Progress:

On Saturday, former Vice President Al Gore made a surprise appearance at the Netroots Nation convention in Austin, TX. In his speech, Gore praised the gathering of progressives, saying that they are part of an effort to "reclaim the integrity of American democracy."

While the attendees of Netroots Nation received Gore with enthusiasm, his appearance has caused Fox News's Bill O'Reilly to declare that Gore has "gone off the deep end."

On his radio show today, O'Reilly claimed that Gore was now associating himself with the most "hateful group in the country." "And I'm including the Nazis and the Klan in here," said O'Reilly." He then claimed that attending Netroots Nation was "the same as if he stepped into the Klan gathering."

Funny how Bill-O didn't make this comment when Bob Barr attended the gathering.

So when will Bill start eating his own boogers on air to get some more attention.

O'Reilly attending a Klan rally is like Chris Daughtry going home.

o'reilly trying to make sense like trying to fly to the moon on a falafel.

He should know.

People, you miss the fundamental truth about Bill O. He's in it for the money. He knows thre is a lunatic, neocon fringe that eats up the right wing b.s. These people, sad to say, have money and influence. So,Bill pitches his sermon to their sick views. It's that simple. If it were profitably for Bill to preach the need for us all to go run naked in the streets, he would be the loudest proponent. Sean,Rush and Bill, God bless them, are just trying to feed their family.

Billy, what is really making you angry/fearful is that you know you will also swim the river Styx with Tony and Jesse.

Ok, so the man says things that are clearly idiotic - but all the screeching and gnashing of teeth on these boards is exactly the reaction that he wants.

Never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and only the pig enjoys it.

What a lunatic

[kevenseven]

Is BillO not a perfect asshat?

What makes him especially disgusting is that I do't beleive that he means a word of it.

[MaeScott]

Klan meeting, huh.
Well, Billo should know....
Yep, there you go...

The nation's Phone Bill - the public's gangly little varmint - shamed in the law, and forever a vivid image of the masturbating boss.

Whenever you hear his voice, hang up.

I thought the most hateful group in the country was Bill n Ann n Sean n Rush. Bill needs to give himself more credit.

[HallStyle]

I really hate Bill Oreilly. He is such a JERK! I can't believe he honestly believes the SHIS that comes out of his mouth. Really! A KLAN GATHERING. HE WOULD KNOW BECAUSE HE PROBABLY HAS BEEN TO ALOT OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[neoconsareliars]

a steaming pile of billo a day makes the right wing world go round and round.
