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."

If Al were to appear on your show, THEN I'd be concerned.
BO, you've got nothing to contribute to the improvement of our country. So...Go back to your toe tapping in the men's room.

Better spell it out. He has the same initials as Barack Obama. At first glance I thought that's who you meant.

[GrandmaKP]

PLEASE DO NOT MENTION "you know who" AGAIN

HE IS A COMPLETE IGNORAMUS

AN EMBARRASSMENT TO IRISH AND OTHER HUMANS

[desertdweller]

Hey Billo, wasn't that you at the recent N.A.M.B.L.A. convention?

[separatingwheatfromchaff]

Too funny !

[FogBelter]

Ya know ... I'm getting a bit suspicious about the comments Old Bill makes sometimes. I mean, could it be he's realized it is his chance of having his picture appear on Huffington Post?

And yes ... I do think he is that sneaky and egocentric!

[darthmaul]

Your on to something. I don't know who said it but there is a saying, "There's no such thing as bad publicity."

[ReelBusy]

DO IT LIVE BILL!

[DRaymond]

BillO despises the netroots. They don't have multimillion dollar contracts, they don't have the number one rated news program, they don't have big staffs, or a fully equipped studio. They are their own writers. How can they be important? How can they get somebody like Gore to come visit them? He's scared of the netroots because he doesn't understand how this can be. They bruise his ego. So he finds whatever lame excuse is handy to attack them.

They certainly are filled with fascist pigs though.

[WoodyCPM]

Just as with all the major news outlets. Good old American style fascists, one and all.

[Eoin45]

Proof? Takes one to know one Pal.

[enlighteninglad]

Are you ALWAYS going to be a worthless twit? Stupid question really. The answer is obvious.

[SeaBoatbuilder]

Who are you referring to? And what characteristics make then fascist? Here's a definition to assist your response:

fas·cist Audio Help /ˈfæʃɪst/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciat­ion[fash-i­st] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. a person who believes in or sympathizes with fascism.
2. (often initial capital letter) a member of a fascist movement or party.
3. a person who is dictatorial or has extreme right-wing views.
–adjective

After reading many of your posts on this site, I can only come to two possible conclusions:
1) You have no idea what fascism is....

or

2) It takes one to know one.

[ErnestineBass]

Fascism, n., a totalitarian governmental system led by a dictator and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism, and often racism.

If you don't know the meaning of a word, awcbutty, don't use it. You just look foolish.

SOME DAY O'REALLY WILL FIND A LIFE PARTNER!

like herpes?

Well, if anyone would know what a KKK meeting was like, It would be Bill O. That's what I would have thought, anyway. Now he's confirmed it.

As for it being the same as a netroots gathering—we all know that's ridiculous. Not worthy of an answer.

[homerun]

Why would he say KKK meeting? Its a shame people pay, watch, or listen to people like Bill. It goes to show you that a stupid man can reach out to the other stupid people.

[unbozo]

Billo would certainly know what it's like to attend a Klan gathering wouldn't he?

[ohiomark]

Thanks Arianna, for giving the moonbats their daily pound of red meat.

[MajorKong]

Head on over to Fox if you're looking for the right-wing phony outrage of the week.

[DesertLight]

LOL... great and as usual there was no background for it.

[Eoin45]

Hmmm and it was delicious too. Too bad guys like you are starving.

[scriptorblog]

The Netroots are the Klan??? Surely he meant the Netroots are the Nazis, the Stalinists, the North Koreans, the Islamic Jihad, the Al-Queda, the Feminists, the Clintons, and the Ghengis Khan Friendship Society Poor Bill!. He is losing it.

[BEHM777]

Can't be a Ku Klux Klan gathering without Billo.
