BIll O'Reilly: "MoveOn Is The New Klan" (VIDEO)

MoveOn.org is a web-based progressive political organization and the latest target of Bill O'Reilly's Talking Points segment. During the segment the conservative talk show host accused MoveOn of promoting racism, before drawing comparisons between the organization and "the Klan."

Previously, MoveOn had made a similar accusation against FOX (with less severe comparisons) on their FOX: Stop The Smears page.

Yes Bill, be afraid, be very afraid.

[wordvarc]

.

The hate monger projects his own image onto his enemies. It's ineffective, actually a bit humorous.

.

[lisakaz2]

Exactly. Sign me a proud contributor to MoveOn. (And MoveOn backs Obama, which really has me puzzled as far as Bill-O's intelligence goes; must be appealing to all them "low info" voters who engage in mindless insult as serious commentary.)

[DMcD]

Exactly ---------- They somehow think that if they say something , anything , first , they can claim the upper ground on contenscious issues (lies) ---- irregardless of the facts & their own guilt in association.

I once heard it said that only "crazy people" call other people crazy.

I'd bet money that the clan are actually subscribers (perhaps even contributors) to Faux & the Wrong-wing ------- their obviously not Obama fans.

[AzRealProgressive]

Your comments are so, Starbucks! Lots of stirring , nothing but open ended comments without facts.

The "clan" was formed by the Demos after reconstruction to stop the spread of the Repugs. That would be about 140 years ago.

Faux may be the wrong wing. People who post like you do keep them in business. Hannity, Oreilly thank you for the millions.

[genseric13]

Regarding being an Obama fan; what is their to be a fan of? He was against the war when he represented an entirely aa base in the state senate. No aa's were for the war. Obama just went along with his constituents. All of his other positions have flipped so what is there to be for?

[alguien]

oh really? i thought it was net roots.

he is just so fickle.

[doctorwang]

Next week it will be some other group......

[gala1]

I think that Bill O'reilly 's true purpose for being placed on this earth is to re-incarnate the Know Nothing Party.
But only if they can dumb it down to his level..

A man who never let any fact sully the vast untrammeled between the ears wasteland of his ignorance.

-gala1

[AzRealProgressive]

You may have missed it, but he has been the top cable show for nearly a decade. And that know nothing party gathered 50 million or so votes last election.

You have a fear of that party. Instead of name calling, spread the message.

[dolphy]

There were 50 million idiots in the USA. Now we have maybe 45 million.

[PaulinaSmedes]

Huh?: "O'Reilly makes intelligent and educated comparison"??
Well, if you would ever had to explain someone what the Latin "contradictio in terminis" means, this would be a perfect example.

[wadenelson1]

The Klan was filled with ignorant people filled with hate.

More like O'Reilly and Fox news than MoveOn.org IMHO.

[robXdion]

OK, so we've gone from pointing out racism is somehow racist TO showing how Fox News and O'Reilly uses racially tinged attacks is now the equal to the KKK.

Accuse the accuser of being what you really are right? Lame 'Straw Man' attempt.

[guajiro]

Ummm, NO ! O'Reilly said: "MoveOn is the new Klan". See how easy it is if you pay attention?

[torrrep]

They ARE the new Klan. Moveon has NO tolerance for anyone that disagrees with their points of view. Everyone that disagrees is an idiot, a racist, a bigot, a criminal and whatever else I have heard people called.

[ssaz]

Does anybody really care what BillO thinks? He's about as relevant as mr. bush. Maybe we should name a sewage treatment facility after him too!

[Actionmac]

lets not desecrate any other sewerage treatment facilities. These facilities actually provide a necessary and good service.

[AzRealProgressive]

I think you should. He deals with sewage all of the time flushed at him. Like a sewage plant he processes it, and sends it back out as effluent.

i like the concept

[dolphy]

No. A sewage plant takes in s h i t and puts it out as cleaner liquid and solids. O'Lielly takes in garbage and s h i t and just spews it out as garbage and s h i t.

[1will]

MoveOn may very well be the new Klan. It's 2008 and the Klan is impotent, loud, ignorant and largely ignored. I'm not an O'Reilly fan but he really may have nailed this one.

[mady]

I'm wracking my brain, but I can't see any comparison AT ALL.
A group that is open to anyone and exists to champion the rights of all Americans is like a highly secret group that wears masks and and opposes rights for minority Americans HOW???

[1will]

They are both impotent, loud, ignorant and largely ignored.
Come on guys. My post was only 3 short sentences.

[guajiro]

What particular FACTS are you and O'Reilly basing your accusations on?

[realpolitic]

If O'Reilly was not afraid of MoveOn he would not attack them constantly. If we were back in the 1950's, O'Reilly and Sean Hannity would be demonizing the Freedom Riders, Dr. King, and anyone who fought for equal rights for blacks in the south.

[skeptomaniak]

Wow. That is an absolutely ludicrous remark. But then it came from the ultimate pinhead.

What a stupid, stupid man.

[buddhistMonkey]

You're missing about four or five "stupids," and at least one "insane."

[MacDad]

rigth on bill... keep up the good work exposing these fools for who they are

[alguien]

maybe you should learn to spell before you start calling people fools, hmm?

[lisakaz2]

He only exposes himself to anyone with a modicum of factual info.

[Eric8869]

The only fool I see is O'Reilly - if you are a true Republican you should be for fiscal conservatism. The Bush White House had a surplus of money and they have spent money like it's going out of style.

If you are truly a proud Republican you would turn your party back in to what it was supposed to be about. Not turn it over to the Religious Right and War Profiteers.

Change your party from the inside - don't buy into the Fox spin.

[Alfannell]

Excuse me sure so MoveOn.org is responsible of Killing Black people, maybe you should look at the mirror of yourself.

[NoahVail]

Wow I have been missing out on a lot of MoveOn.org activities. I thought we were just writing letters and funding advertisements. When do we get to terrorize right wingers and run the Republicans out of town?

[mediamarv]

Proud to be a long time member of this all-american group of smear merchants.. and last week I couldn't even spell that!

[EarthToZoey]

It seems as if Bill O might be desperately scared that Keith over at MSNBC might grab more of his ratings share. ;P
