Fighting the War on Error

BOR... making s--- up again


Pathological Liar Bill O'Reilly's pathetic jihad against the Website Daily Kos continues. His latest? That the site "advocates the overthrow of the U.S. government." Umm Hmm. I read the site nearly every day, and nowhere, anywhere have I ever read anything even remotely close to that. But hey, why let truth get in the way of a good "story," right? Notice that BOR neglects to give specific examples of how the authors of Daily Kos want to overthrow the government, he just throws it out there.

This is from a well-worn page right out of the Republican playbook:
Throw a lie out there, and the damage will be done. Even though the truth will eventually come out, that won't spread as far and wide as the lie itself.
The list of lies by the right that have been debunked is getting rather lengthy. A fraction of that list...

• The Clintons murdered Vince Foster
• Bill Clinton could have had bin Laden, but turned him down
Al Gore invented the Internet
• John Kerry didn't deserve his purple hearts
• Sidney Blumenthal abused his wife
Media Matters is funded by George Soros
• Al Gore's carbon footprint is bigger than Greenland
• Barack HUSSEIN Obama was educated in a madrassa
• Daily Kos authors want to overthrow the government

I can't wait to see what the GOP Network comes up with next.

By the way, BOR actually says this in the clip above, and it bears repeating: "Doing business with people who traffic in hate-filled diatribes is unacceptable."

Jon Stewart must be delighted that BOR has gone to work for Comedy Central.

Oh, and that Pepsi boycott regarding Ludacris? Totally phony, just like his boycott against France and Jet Blue. I just remembered that I have to write Jet Blue to tell them to keep up the good work. Thanks for reminding me, Billy.
