Dodd takes out O'Reilly.
Chris Dodd challenges O'Reilly over his attacks on the Daily Kos, stating that half a million people visit this website every day, so it's hard to regard them all as extremists. Dodd rightly points out that O'Reilly's actual objection is to this groups ideology, as it is left wing and O'Reilly is ferociously right wing.
O'Reilly, in a fantastic moment devoid of irony, calls Dodd a "propagandist" which - to paraphrase Galloway - is a bit like having the Hunchback of Notre Dam lecturing you on your posture.
Dodd points out that Indiana University have studied O'Reilly's programme and found that he makes derogatory comments about individuals and groups "every 6.8 seconds". At this point, as usual, O'Reilly's head explodes.
Dodd then brings up O'Reilly's comments about San Francisco. O'Reilly denies ever having made any such comments and accuses Dodd of getting his information "from Media Matters", as if the source immediately discredits the accusation. For the record, this is what O'Reilly said about San Francisco:
And, yes, I did get that from Media Matters. However, a trip to their website will prove that O'Reilly did say what he now denies, as they have an audio of him saying it.O'REILLY: Hey, you know, if you want to ban military recruiting, fine, but I'm not going to give you another nickel of federal money. You know, if I'm the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, "Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead."
And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.
So O'Reilly is blatantly lying.
Hat tip to Crooks and Liars.
