Netroots Nation 2008: Caucus Refugee
Watch me desperately search for my caucus, for my voice, for my representation. Why are the Netroots excluding me? Why are they so hateful towards me and my people?

Contrary to popular belief, bloggers do have a sense of humor. The Netroots Nation gift bags included condoms.
No need to listen to or watch O'Reilly today. One need go no further than this clip from last month to discover what Bill really thinks of Tim Russert and his credibility.
An "O'Reilly Factor" producer cornered PBS's Bill Moyers at a conference on media reform this weekend, leading Moyers to demand an unedited interview about Iraq. Angry journalists piled on.
I thought that eventually I would be numbed to the sensory assault of the channel, but you don't get used to it -- it just drives you nuts. It's like your television is trying to attack you.
How dare this white man with a microphone and the trust of the public think that in 2008, he can still put the words "lynch and party" together in the same sentence with reference to a black woman?
Nas not only has a penchant for headline-making titles, his ability to condense complex topics into manageable sound bytes without losing their depth of discussion is unmatched.
In one of the most incendiary columns ever written, "Race And The Presidential Election," Bill O'Reilly sets the race-bait bar to record-breaking...d...
Earliest known picture of Bill O'Reilly Stop me if you've heard this before. On the June 9th Radio Factor, Bill O'Reilly called the Far Left the gre...
In the Rush Limbaugh in this week's New York Times Sunday Magazine, El Rushbo, the undisputed, big buck, contract king of all of talk, actually said that "(O'Reilly) is Ted Baxter."
Dig deeper, and the question of who Michael Savage is becomes more complicated. "Savage" isn't his real name; it seems to speak to his heightened sense of masculinity, aggression, and antipathy toward minorities.
Shock Jock Michael Reagan, son of the late president, recently called on-air for the murder of a political opponent, saying "I'll pay for the bullets....
Even if you've already seen this film, viewing Outfoxed again now will cast an even harsher light on the damage done by this channel.
For the humiliating liberties O'Reilly takes with Jane Hall on The Factor, I would hope she receives plenty -- though with Bill, it rarely lasts more than five minutes.
The crucial facts are all represented in War Inc.'s satire, Mr. O'Reilly; they're just presented in a way that reveals a side of reality not commonly seen in other media outlets, most especially yours.
O'Reilly's a product that is beginning to smell like a fish that has been left off ice in the store for two or three days.

Bill O'Reilly is a manipulative bully and a master of spin. He enjoys ambushing his targets and calling them names. When a guest somehow manages to get a word in, he tells them to shut up. As distasteful an individual he is, I don't believe he is a racist (I think one could make the argument that he is a race baiter though). I haven't listened enough to Fox News to come to any conclusion whether it's racist but with such commentators as Hannity and Ingraham I can't really take the network seriously.
Hillarious. There are so many, like his dinner at Sylvia's, that fist-jab baloney, the Baby-Mama thing. Of course, he won't accept any of these. After all, he defended doctored photos of reporters as somehow appropriate for "news."
The major fear I react to when I think of O'Reilly is the number of people that listen to him.
YES!! You are so right, MJonly. However, I have to admit, I peek in from time to time, only because I like to know what b.s. the other side is spewing. I've also called him a couple of times, and of course, he cuts you off when you prove him wrong. Oh, wait, once, I proved him wrong (on the William Ayers craziness), he had the nerves to give me a "signed copy" of his book. Needless to say, I hung up right after my comment (hmmm, maybe I could have used the book to balance my vanity....nah, don't want that mess in my home). Anyway, back to the original point--what truly amazes me is how many of his listeners eat, sleep, and live by what he says. Wow!!!
Ask a KKK racist then ask a fox watcher. Bet they think alike..
Mr O'Reilly tries hard to 'come over' as if he is simply reporting facts. ...a transparent technique, that works well with people who just listen on a sublimal level. However the underlying racist undertones, are very much well and alive and are constructed to play well into people's psyche. The problem is that I don't think that he knows that he is innately racist, as he has never been challenged into internalising this 'factor' until the recent focus on the electioons and Mr Obama.
In my book Fox news has become more puerile in its delivery, as well as in the continuum of the daily adnauseum diatribe.
I do not have an IQ of 2 and need more upliftment and elevation from the presenters/reporters on a tv screen.
O'Reilly knows he is spewing racism. Stop making excuses for him.
Same goes for FOX. Roger Ailes directs the content of the "news" on FOX, at the direction of Murdoch. The racism is conscious and deliberate.
No less deliberate than the "failure" of the mainstream networks to tell the dirty truth about McSame and the positive facts about Obama.
Clue: FOX, and the manistream media, want McSame as president. That is their conscious choice and effort. And that includes the racism -- whic couldn't be much more overt -- they spew.
(very) nicely written!
