Bill O’Reilly needs to retire. If he does not retire then FOX needs to fire
him. He has taken his show, The O’Reilly Factor and turned it further into a
partisan smear machine. He has done this by attacking the left wing web sites
that disagree with him and has associated them with the Nazi party.

Last night on the Factor, O’Reilly had two right wing bloggers present to
help support his claims. Not “fair and balanced” if you ask me. Further more,
since his attacks have begun on Media
Matters, he continues to refuse them time to come on and defend their work.

O’Reilly tried to criminalize George Sorros, a major contributor to Media
Matters, because he keeps his money in an offshore account. Well Mr. O’Reilly,
how about looking into Halliburton and how they move their interests to the
Bahamas in order to avoid U.S. taxes and labor laws.

O’Reilly also made a false claim that there are no such right wing sites on
the internet. Well let me set the record straight to Mr. O’Reilly. There are
plenty. One is Michelle
Malkin who is a contributor to FOX network. She even had
an article last week
saying that the liberal left was planning parties when the 2,000th soldier got
killed in Iraq. An incredible lie and even worse she used her propaganda machine
to use the death of soldiers in order to promote her hate of the left. That’s
pretty bad.

How about Matt Drudge? He has a
right wing website that got slammed by ABC news yesterday. Matt Drudge posted an
article saying Scooter Libby had been indicted in the leak case and attributed
the information to ABC news. This forced ABC’s vice-president to issue a
statement saying there was no truth to the allegations made by Mr. Drudge and
subsequently Drudge had to remove his article.

These aren’t little websites out there. These are two of the biggest right
wing bloggers on the internet. Matt Drudge has even appeared on FOX news before.
I could list numerous others but I don’t want to make my blog a download that is
the equivalent of an MP3. That’s right, there are that many more out there.

Here’s a thought, go to Sean Hannity’s
forum and try to post something that is not right wing propaganda. I did a
simple disagreement on the Iraq war, no harsh words or anything and quickly
found myself banned from the site.

So if Bill wants to act tough and make his claims then he shouldn’t be such a
coward and hide in his studio with other right wingers who will do nothing but
agree with him. He should let those he attack come on to defend themselves. If
he does not then he is nothing more than a terrorist, hiding amongst equals and
making attacks on the innocent.
