It doesn't really matter how wrong Bill O. is, or how often he's wrong. FOX viewers aren't critical thinkers and will believe anything he, or anything anyone else on that embarrassment of a station, says without question.
God, I would love to be in the room when Billo watches this. He must just explode inside.
As bad as Billo is, I don't understand how others can work FOR him. Researcher, writers, pr, hair & makeup, etc...How can that be a plus on anyone's resume?
Sometimes, after seeing him getting his ass handed to him like this, for instance, I just can't help myself, I feel a tinge of pity for Billo.
I know, I shouldn't. But apart from his couple of million viewers he's just a cartoon figure, these days. A huge joke. And the best thing is: he REALLY wants to be respected, he really, really does. Ah, sweet schadenfreude...
Bill'O is so ridiculous, a constant source of derision.
What is not funny is that there are so many people who take him seriously and that he is a source of trusted information for them. The agenda he helps push through is beneficial to only the richest of the rich, the rest of America suffers.
I was at a party recently, with a group of well educated, bright Eastern European engineers. We ended up in a politcal discussion, where the whole group defended their harsh anti-Citgo anti-Chavez position because "we heard about it from Bill O'Reilly". They also hailed Bush as "strong" and the Republicans as the only party concerned about America.
One should never under-estimate the influence of O'Lielly.
More and more, O'Irrelevant seems like the elderly, reason-challenged grump who belches out his dislike for just about anything that doesn't fit into his 1" by 1" box of reality. He is a sloppy opinionist, and never was a journalist. I think there are some new Alzheimer's medications that might help him, however.
Has Countdown ever awarded BillO a trifecta? I seem to remember that they did, but don't quote me.
At some point Keith is going to have to retire O'Reilly's jersey to give some other contestants a chance. Maybe he could just rename the segment "The Bill O'Reilly Worst Person In The World Award." That way BillO would be recognized every day as he deserves, but other wankers would get some credit too.

If I were her, I wouldn't want to be in the same zip code with him, much less married to him. After the falafel incident with Mackris, I thought for sure she'd walk.
And how many times is Olbermann going to give him the Worst Person in the World award? He should just create a "hall of Shame" and give Orally a prominent spot.
I know that as a progressive I'm supposed to keep a watchdog eye on conservative schmucks like BillO, but it's so sickening to listen to even two words from people like him that I just can't bring myself to do it.
Hey, I like that suggestion from comment 31. An actual medal should be awarded.Something like the military. Like the Scumbagic Medal of Dishonour. You could add a poison oakleaf cluster for every additional offence against truth. If keith had done that from the beginning Bill O would have a complete hedge by now.
"loofah fallafal" har har! you keith you.
don't you love the ted baxter voice he uses to mimic billo?
for those of you who don't know him--rent some mary tyler moore episodes and watch for the anchor man at her news station. he's pretty bill--but lots nicer.
the earlier episodes are the best ones.

The people who watch Fox news, appreciate the effort Bill and the others on that network go to, in order to protect them from harsh realities. They don't want to know that there is no Santa Clause, and resent those people who push reality in their face.
They feel entitled to their own facts. So any criticism of O'Reilly and Fox is due to the person making the accusation being a bad person, or even a Liberal. We can't discuss these things anymore, because it would require using the same set of books. And as any good executive knows, you keep one set for the IRS, and one to show to Wall Street. These are two versions of useful fiction -- and that seems to be the debate format preferred in most of the media anyway -- not just on Bill O-viate.
The guy who signs Billy's $9 million paycheck just puchased the Wall Street Journal and wants the NYT. The alternate reality occupied by those who still cling onto misinformation spewed out by Billy and Rupert keeps getting refined. Scary stuff considering that in this alternate reality everything is skewed to benefit what Bush called his "base, ha, ha", ie. the well to do. Do not think these folks are not working to marginalize any challengers to the creation of this alternate reality because they are in many ways. The most important of which might be their attempt to control the internet by funnelling people into certain information and away from other information, allowing certain websights to upload faster, etc. As with voting machine manipulation and election fraud, these folks have a game plan and they will implement it unless someone stops them every step of the way. It is going to take a lot of vigilance and work. Cudos to those who are at the forfront of stopping these creeps because it is often a low paying job to fight those who have the incentive of huge wealth gain. Thank you all who are fighting these fascist liars like O'Reilly and Murdock.
It’s time for BillO to ride off into the sunset. Surely, he and Faux News are aware that they are under scrutiny. You’d think this would improve their reporting. Instead, it’s getting worser.
People are losing their homes from foreclosures and Bill is obsessed with Kos while memory holing the white nationalism on his own site and having an internment camp advocate as his friday fill in
After continually being shown as a fraud, how does Billo keep it going? What's driving this crazy fool?
The fools who follow the fool (his pathetic viewers)...they're to blame for that prick
still being able to have a show.
And more importantly, the advertising sponsers of his show. They need to be boycotted.
I watch his show sometimes; only for purpose of seeing who my "local merchants/retailers"
are who advertise and then I contact them via phone/email/or other and let them know
that the O'Liely show is bigoted/biased/slanted and seldom is the truth reported and that
me and my family(and friends) will seriously consider using their services unless they
discontinue advertising on Faux Noise.
The problem is, the people who really need to hear this listen ONLY to Faux News and their faux broadcasters (read: propagandists) like Orally. They call it another point of view, but actually it is the ONLY point of view they listen to. This is part of the reason this country is so doggoned polarized; Faux is expert at polarization. NOT truth. Or math.

Sad but true because I have friends and even one family member who are as devoted to
Faux News as they are about attending church each and every Sunday...living in a cave
in total darkness and have no desire to crawl out and see/hear or listen to an opposing
view. Real shallow and narrow minded people.
O'Reilly can look like a fool every minute of every day but I will never feel sorry for him getting his ass handed to him. He is a piece of shit with arms and legs. This is not a good human being and I would not weep his demise. Come on Grim Reaper.
Obermann is going to have to find a special category for Bill O'Goebbels. Though at least 5 days out of 7 he is the worst person, Keith can only decently mention him once or twice a week.
Daily Kos: CIA Engineered Controlled Opposition?
Thursday August 09th 2007, 8:04 am
Is it possible Markos Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga, leader of the “Kossaks,” that is to say followers and fawners of the Daily Kos, is a CIA operative? Francis Holland, posting on the My Left Wing messageboard, details Moulitsas’ relationship with the CIA:
“Markos Moulitsas Zúniga, owner of the DailyKos website, now admits that he spent six months in the employ of the US Central Intelligence Agency in 2001,” writes Holland. “In a one-hour interview on June 2, 2006 at the Commonwealth Club, Moulitsas, also known as ‘Kos,’ admitted that he was a CIA employee and would have ‘no problem working for them’ in the present.”
“I applied to the CIA and I went all the way to the end, I mean it was to the point where I was going to sign papers to become Clandestine Services,” Moulitsas admits in the interview. “And it was at that point that the Howard Dean campaign took off and I had to make a decision whether I was gonna kinda join the Howard Dean campaign, that whole process, or was I was going to become a spy. (Laughter in the audience.) It was going to be a tough decision at first, but then the CIA insisted that if, if I joined that, they’d want me to do the first duty assignment in Washington, DC, and I hate Washington, DC. Six years in Washington, DC [inaudible] that makes the decision a lot easier.”
Moulitsas considers the CIA “a very liberal institution,” never mind the agency, according to John Stockwell, former CIA Station Chief in Angola (see my John Stockwell: The Third World War video), is responsible for killing more than six million people.
This is a very liberal institution. And in a lot of ways, it really does attract people who want to make a better, you know, want to make the world a better place…. Of course, they’ve got their Dirty Ops and this and that, right but as an institution itself the CIA is really interested in stable world. That’s what they’re interested in. And stable worlds aren’t created by destabilizing regimes and creating wars…. I don’t think it’s a very partisan thing to want a stable world. And even if you’re protecting American interests, I mean that can get ugly at times, but generally speaking I think their hearts in the right place. As an organization their heart is in the right place. I’ve never had any problem with the CIA. I’d have no problem working for them
Is it possible Mr. Moulitsas does not have a problem with the documented fact the CIA’s predecessor, the Overseas Secret Service, imported Nazis to work for the soon to be created CIA under General Reinhard Gehlen? “Gehlen was far from the only Nazi war criminal employed by the CIA. Others included Klaus Barbie (’the Butcher of Lyon’), Otto von Bolschwing (the Holocaust mastermind who worked closely with Eichmann) and, SS Colonel Otto Skorzeny (a great favorite of Hitler’s),” writes Mark Zepezauer (The CIA’s Greatest Hits, Odonian Press, 1994). “There’s even evidence that Martin Bormann, Hitler’s second-in-command at the end of the war, faked his own death and escaped to Latin America, where he worked with CIA-linked groups.
Or that the CIA financed the P-2 Masonic lodge, connected with the Vatican and the Mafia, and enthusiastically supported Operation Gladio, the “strategy of tension” terrorist “stay behind army” effort in Europe, responsible of train station bombings and assassinations, run by former SS Nazis? Is it possible Mr. Moulitsas supports the CIA effort to create shell banks such as the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, accurately characterized by former CIA director and current Sec. Def. Robert Gates as “the Bank of Crooks and Criminals International”? Does Moulitsas support the idea of MK-ULTRA, a program designed to test “radiation, electric shocks, electrode implants, microwaves, ultrasound and a wide range of drugs on unwitting subjects, including hundreds of prisoners at California’s infamous Vacaville State Prison,” as Zepezauer notes? Or what about the CIA getting into the heroin business with the Corsican Mafia, paving the way for highly profitable drug importation operations in Central America and Afghanistan, money used not only to enrich the “investment” (in death and misery) bankers but also used for the CIA’s black budget? How liberal is it to engage in assassination, genocide, and plotting the overthrow of governments in Iran, Guatemala, Indonesia (where more than 500,000 people were put to death, many of them due to CIA drafted “death lists”), and dozens of other countries?
Of course, the CIA long ago penetrated the “liberal” as well as the “conservative” corporate media in America. “Among the executives who lent their cooperation to the Agency were William Paley of the Columbia Broadcasting System, Henry Luce of Time Inc., Arthur Hays Sulzberger of the New York Times, Barry Bingham Sr. of the Louisville Courier-Journal and James Copley of the Copley News Service. Other organizations which cooperated with the CIA include the American Broadcasting Company, the National Broadcasting Company, the Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Newsweek magazine, the Mutual Broadcasting System, The Miami Herald, and the old Saturday Evening Post and New York Herald-Tribune. By far the most valuable of these associations, according to CIA officials, have been with The New York Times, CBS, and Time Inc.,” writes Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein (Rolling Stone, Oct. 20, 1977). “From the Agency’s perspective, there is nothing untoward in such relationships, and any ethical questions are a matter for the journalistic profession to resolve, not the intelligence community.”
Indeed, it would appear Markos Moulitsas finds nothing “untoward in such relationships,” if we are to believe his above quoted comments.
Finally, Moulitsas’ relationship with the CIA makes perfect sense, as Daily Kos appears to be yet another political front operation tasked with cracking the whip over “progressive” Democrats and marching them off to support the Bilderberger Queen Hillary Clinton and her probable running mate, Barack Obama, both on record as supporting the neocon plan to reduce the Muslim world to a smoldering wasteland, albeit with stylistic policy changes. It is no secret the CIA has long stage managed the controlled opposition and Moulitsas’ admitted relationship with the agency should be considered a coup de grâce, an effort designed to reduce the “progressive” Democrat opposition to the invasion and occupation of Iraq and the impending attack to be leveled against Iran as little more than an empty and absurd rhetorical slogan.
This is great news! I knew one day old B-O would say the wrong thing to the wrong person and get smacked...I hope this lawyer fella goes for the throat.
Bravo, Keith! Orally set himself up for that one - he practically pulled down his pants and gave you the "I am a loony dumbass. Kick me" sign to pin on his behind. You masterfully granted him his wish.

Show one example that kos pushes clinton, or obama for that matter. You are waaayyy off.
What I can't believe is, jane Hall,(whom i respect) keeps going back on his show, after one night he CUT HER MIC because she said that there were untrueisms on HIS website... as she was explaining, he CUT HER MIC.
I find it truly amazing that Billy only goes after people he knows he can bully. Let's see him invite Keith on his show to spar. Or better yet, let's see him go on Countdown. I would love to see an invitation sent to Billy from Keith to be on Countdown, and then Keith can run him down when he won't respond like Billy does to anyone who won't go on his show.

Markos uses mind control techniques to cause his diarists to post pro-Clinton pieces. He just hasn't mastered the technique yet - since there are plenty of Kos diarists that post against Clinton. But dont' let that influence your opinion contrary to the obvious lockstep mentality of the Kos diarists. /sarcasm
I've seen many comments deleted and people banned from DailyKos. I've seen selective culling of people who are to the left of Markos. I don't see Markos as particularly progressive. I've seen regular contributors who are Markos' kiss asses get people censured and banned. There is in my opinion quite a lot of pressure or influence, albeit sometimes subtle, to direct the opinion on that site and guard against diverging yet still progressive views.
What I find interesting is that Markos had to make that gut wrenching decision to be a CIA agent or to work for Howard Dean. Pardon me if I sense a disconnect in these choices. If if it is true that the CIA has tried to manipulate or own virtually every conventional information source in this country, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that they would they would do the same with the the potentially more influential internet. It has already been shown that they are selectively editing the Wikipoedia to make themselves appear better and deleting items that were criminal or bordering on criminal. They have also editing other entries and trying to revise history by blunt force.
The problem with the CIA is that they behave as though they are the determiners and guardians of US strategic interests as opposed to an intelligence gathering organization as they were meant to be. Their mandate is to supply the elected leaders of this country with non partisan fully vetted intelligence so that those leaders can develop policy. What they have become and right from the onset I might add is a shadow government working for business interests, financed to the tune of about 40 billion dollars a year. They have tried to brainwash the American people by manipulating the media, they have overthrown governments, assasinated political leaders, they have unhealthy relations with organized crime and have imported heroin and crack cocaine. More importantly they have allowed themselves to be used in partisan politics.
When Markos stated he found them to be a generally liberal group, he exposed himself as immensley naive, or he was trying to exonerate his own activities, or maybe he really didn't quite leave the organization.
All I know is that the CIA should not be involved in the manipulation of the publics information sources. I also know that given their propensities and past activities that they are knee deep in the dessemination of information on the internet to influence the publics perception of national policy as determined by them. Clearly they are subtle and unobvious, they have spent billions of dollars honing, refining,and making a science of P.R., propaganda, disinformation, brainwashing, and mass manipulation. It is called PsyOps or Psychological Operations. They are not like a Madison Avenue ad agency. They have used radiation, drugs, and torture on witless or unsuspecting people, injuring, permanently damaging, or in some cases killing them, honing their manipulating skills. This is the organization that Markos calls predominately liberal that wants a stable world.
The fact of the matter is that after World War II, one of the first strategies the CIA adopted was that of political destabilization. They did so with awareness brought to them by the British. They realized that colonialization, and occupation were efforts that ultimately were doomed to failure and enormously cost ineffective. It was much easier influencing elections, killing upstart political leaders or movements that in their opinion were not suitable to American or western business interests. Destabilization though was their trump card. Selectively influencing, arming ,and financing opposing groups in the same country and keeping the country unstable was the cheapest way to serve American business interests. American taxpayers pay billions to arms manufacturers that supply all sides in a conflict, No powerful nationalist leadership coalesces that can put the interests of the country and its people ahead of predatory American business exploitation, all sides in the conflict are dependent on American arms and money paid for by you and me allowing American business to exploit the resources of the the country unimpeded.
Maybe Markos should rethink his estimation of the CIA, and if he is still in their employ he should quit if they let him. Their is an old adage that if you want to play with the devil you will have to play by the devil's rules.
I can't imagine that Biff 'o Reilly is far from thrue, he's my hero and so close to my saviour.
I think he's the 'BEST' person in the World! He, 'o really, knows that the Jews killed our saviour, god bless him!
You are allowed to have your own opinion as long .it mirrors Falafal Bill.
If you do not agree, you are not only attacked by his insane ravings but worse by the foam dripping from the corners of his mouth.
I find it truly amazing that Billy only goes after people he knows he can bully. Let's see him invite Keith on his show to spar. Or better yet, let's see him go on Countdown.

haha you all are idiots. Keith;s show is going down the shitter, thats why he has to make up lies about other people because pretty soon he wont have a job. keith is a piece of shit and an embarrassment to american media.
The truth hurts people. WE can gripe about O'Really as much as we want, at least I don't go to his website and post comments calling is viewers names. So nice.
You aren't going to change any minds here, O'Reilly lies and it can be proven quite easily, by things like facts. I know it hurts seeing as though you hold him to be a beacon of truth and no spin, it's not true.
haha you all are idiots. Keith;s show is going down the shitter, thats why he has to make up lies about other people because pretty soon he wont have a job. keith is a piece of shit and an embarrassment to american media.
If the mouthbreathing wingnuts who are fankids of O'Reilly's were more than semi-literate, they would be able to go read for themselves the reality behind the situations Keith nails Orally's loony dumbass for. They would be able to read the original diary at DKos written by Dhonig, for instance, and realize that he was quoting someone else's anti-semitic comments and complaining about the comments. Far from being anti-semitic, he was complaining about anti-semitism.
I bet even Faux News laughs at the gullibility of their demographic (sorry, that's audience for the the semi-literate Faux mouthbreathers) who fall for whatever Faux makes up.
I don't know why I bothered to read this mouthbreathing dreck from the Freepers. I thought it would be a waste of time, and indeed it turned out to be a waste of time. Where's the beef against Keith? Nothing but ad hominems.
If the Freepers weren't wasting there time existing in their mother's basements, they might learn something other than feces flinging.

maybe u should tell that to keith bc thats all he does
I don't know what you all are talking about. Bill O'Reilly is looking out for YOU!!! What? You expect me to believe John Edwards or Hillary Clinton are looking out for my rights??? right.....
BillO just hate truth.
"Bill O’Rilly attacks critic of anti-semitism"
LOL some one put that on Wikipedia.
It doesn't really matter how wrong Bill O. is, or how often he's wrong. FOX viewers aren't critical thinkers and will believe anything he, or anything anyone else on that embarrassment of a station, says without question.
I like this...
"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts"

God, I would love to be in the room when Billo watches this. He must just explode inside.

it's true math that Bill really hates!
Awful Falafel needs to step up his game and go for a hat trick.
you guys are too funny... :lol:
Don't be afraid our new kind of pen, (click on image to enlarge), BillO, it's only words we're using to express ourselves.
We'd never call BlogofSphere Security on ya.

Sometimes, after seeing him getting his ass handed to him like this, for instance, I just can't help myself, I feel a tinge of pity for Billo.
I know, I shouldn't. But apart from his couple of million viewers he's just a cartoon figure, these days. A huge joke. And the best thing is: he REALLY wants to be respected, he really, really does. Ah, sweet schadenfreude...
Is Oreilly's ratings still plummeting like it was or did that settle?
i just sent another $10 to franken's campaign. the thought of seeing billo's head pop when that guy gets elected makes it worth it!
oh Keith....you are my sunshine...
Bill'O is so ridiculous, a constant source of derision.
What is not funny is that there are so many people who take him seriously and that he is a source of trusted information for them. The agenda he helps push through is beneficial to only the richest of the rich, the rest of America suffers.
This guy cannot be discredited enough.
Keith clearly got this one wrong. O' Reilly hates both...
It's high time that Keith write a book about the Culture Warrior from Levittown.
The catalogue of O'Reilly's stupidity would make a heavy tome, yet a most amusing read.
Chris from Ohio @ 11:
The fact that he has a positive rating at all speaks so much to the intelligence of that portion of Americans (29%)
Yet another well-aimed pimp slap to Bill's blotchy face.

hahah! He said it! "Bill O'Rly"!
I hope that the Culture Warrior from Levittown gets his ass sued...again.
Has Countdown ever awarded BillO a trifecta? I seem to remember that they did, but don't quote me.
At some point Keith is going to have to retire O'Reilly's jersey to give some other contestants a chance. Maybe he could just rename the segment "The Bill O'Reilly Worst Person In The World Award." That way BillO would be recognized every day as he deserves, but other wankers would get some credit too.

If I were her, I wouldn't want to be in the same zip code with him, much less married to him. After the falafel incident with Mackris, I thought for sure she'd walk.
And how many times is Olbermann going to give him the Worst Person in the World award? He should just create a "hall of Shame" and give Orally a prominent spot.
Just Fox business as usual. Seems to be part of the Kulture Warrior's war on free speech, the truth, integrity and all things unFoxlike.
I know that as a progressive I'm supposed to keep a watchdog eye on conservative schmucks like BillO, but it's so sickening to listen to even two words from people like him that I just can't bring myself to do it.
Thank goodness Keith O. has the stomach for it.
Hey, I like that suggestion from comment 31. An actual medal should be awarded.Something like the military. Like the Scumbagic Medal of Dishonour. You could add a poison oakleaf cluster for every additional offence against truth. If keith had done that from the beginning Bill O would have a complete hedge by now.
"loofah fallafal" har har! you keith you.
don't you love the ted baxter voice he uses to mimic billo?
for those of you who don't know him--rent some mary tyler moore episodes and watch for the anchor man at her news station. he's pretty bill--but lots nicer.

Coffeespit!!
In Soviet Russia, math hates Billo!
No Spin Zone - indeed.
Harley @ 45:
That's because Billo thinks the universe revolves around him as its center.
Marty @ 21:
The fools who follow the fool (his pathetic viewers)...they're to blame for that prick
still being able to have a show.
new entry in Wikipedia:
Idiot: See: Bill O'Reilly
Dana @ 47:
And more importantly, the advertising sponsers of his show. They need to be boycotted.
I watch his show sometimes; only for purpose of seeing who my "local merchants/retailers"
are who advertise and then I contact them via phone/email/or other and let them know
that the O'Liely show is bigoted/biased/slanted and seldom is the truth reported and that
me and my family(and friends) will seriously consider using their services unless they
discontinue advertising on Faux Noise.
The problem is, the people who really need to hear this listen ONLY to Faux News and their faux broadcasters (read: propagandists) like Orally. They call it another point of view, but actually it is the ONLY point of view they listen to. This is part of the reason this country is so doggoned polarized; Faux is expert at polarization. NOT truth. Or math.
Anais @ 50:
Sad but true because I have friends and even one family member who are as devoted to
Faux News as they are about attending church each and every Sunday...living in a cave
in total darkness and have no desire to crawl out and see/hear or listen to an opposing
view. Real shallow and narrow minded people.
Kos is not a hate site just because everyone there hates you. Look up "egocentrism": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egocentrism
O'Reilly can look like a fool every minute of every day but I will never feel sorry for him getting his ass handed to him. He is a piece of shit with arms and legs. This is not a good human being and I would not weep his demise. Come on Grim Reaper.
Fuck O'Falafel.
SEXUAL PREDATOR!
Obermann is going to have to find a special category for Bill O'Goebbels. Though at least 5 days out of 7 he is the worst person, Keith can only decently mention him once or twice a week.
Daily Kos: CIA Engineered Controlled Opposition?
Thursday August 09th 2007, 8:04 am
Is it possible Markos Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga, leader of the “Kossaks,” that is to say followers and fawners of the Daily Kos, is a CIA operative? Francis Holland, posting on the My Left Wing messageboard, details Moulitsas’ relationship with the CIA:
“Markos Moulitsas Zúniga, owner of the DailyKos website, now admits that he spent six months in the employ of the US Central Intelligence Agency in 2001,” writes Holland. “In a one-hour interview on June 2, 2006 at the Commonwealth Club, Moulitsas, also known as ‘Kos,’ admitted that he was a CIA employee and would have ‘no problem working for them’ in the present.”
“I applied to the CIA and I went all the way to the end, I mean it was to the point where I was going to sign papers to become Clandestine Services,” Moulitsas admits in the interview. “And it was at that point that the Howard Dean campaign took off and I had to make a decision whether I was gonna kinda join the Howard Dean campaign, that whole process, or was I was going to become a spy. (Laughter in the audience.) It was going to be a tough decision at first, but then the CIA insisted that if, if I joined that, they’d want me to do the first duty assignment in Washington, DC, and I hate Washington, DC. Six years in Washington, DC [inaudible] that makes the decision a lot easier.”
Moulitsas considers the CIA “a very liberal institution,” never mind the agency, according to John Stockwell, former CIA Station Chief in Angola (see my John Stockwell: The Third World War video), is responsible for killing more than six million people.
This is a very liberal institution. And in a lot of ways, it really does attract people who want to make a better, you know, want to make the world a better place…. Of course, they’ve got their Dirty Ops and this and that, right but as an institution itself the CIA is really interested in stable world. That’s what they’re interested in. And stable worlds aren’t created by destabilizing regimes and creating wars…. I don’t think it’s a very partisan thing to want a stable world. And even if you’re protecting American interests, I mean that can get ugly at times, but generally speaking I think their hearts in the right place. As an organization their heart is in the right place. I’ve never had any problem with the CIA. I’d have no problem working for them
Is it possible Mr. Moulitsas does not have a problem with the documented fact the CIA’s predecessor, the Overseas Secret Service, imported Nazis to work for the soon to be created CIA under General Reinhard Gehlen? “Gehlen was far from the only Nazi war criminal employed by the CIA. Others included Klaus Barbie (’the Butcher of Lyon’), Otto von Bolschwing (the Holocaust mastermind who worked closely with Eichmann) and, SS Colonel Otto Skorzeny (a great favorite of Hitler’s),” writes Mark Zepezauer (The CIA’s Greatest Hits, Odonian Press, 1994). “There’s even evidence that Martin Bormann, Hitler’s second-in-command at the end of the war, faked his own death and escaped to Latin America, where he worked with CIA-linked groups.
Or that the CIA financed the P-2 Masonic lodge, connected with the Vatican and the Mafia, and enthusiastically supported Operation Gladio, the “strategy of tension” terrorist “stay behind army” effort in Europe, responsible of train station bombings and assassinations, run by former SS Nazis? Is it possible Mr. Moulitsas supports the CIA effort to create shell banks such as the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, accurately characterized by former CIA director and current Sec. Def. Robert Gates as “the Bank of Crooks and Criminals International”? Does Moulitsas support the idea of MK-ULTRA, a program designed to test “radiation, electric shocks, electrode implants, microwaves, ultrasound and a wide range of drugs on unwitting subjects, including hundreds of prisoners at California’s infamous Vacaville State Prison,” as Zepezauer notes? Or what about the CIA getting into the heroin business with the Corsican Mafia, paving the way for highly profitable drug importation operations in Central America and Afghanistan, money used not only to enrich the “investment” (in death and misery) bankers but also used for the CIA’s black budget? How liberal is it to engage in assassination, genocide, and plotting the overthrow of governments in Iran, Guatemala, Indonesia (where more than 500,000 people were put to death, many of them due to CIA drafted “death lists”), and dozens of other countries?
Of course, the CIA long ago penetrated the “liberal” as well as the “conservative” corporate media in America. “Among the executives who lent their cooperation to the Agency were William Paley of the Columbia Broadcasting System, Henry Luce of Time Inc., Arthur Hays Sulzberger of the New York Times, Barry Bingham Sr. of the Louisville Courier-Journal and James Copley of the Copley News Service. Other organizations which cooperated with the CIA include the American Broadcasting Company, the National Broadcasting Company, the Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Newsweek magazine, the Mutual Broadcasting System, The Miami Herald, and the old Saturday Evening Post and New York Herald-Tribune. By far the most valuable of these associations, according to CIA officials, have been with The New York Times, CBS, and Time Inc.,” writes Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein (Rolling Stone, Oct. 20, 1977). “From the Agency’s perspective, there is nothing untoward in such relationships, and any ethical questions are a matter for the journalistic profession to resolve, not the intelligence community.”
Indeed, it would appear Markos Moulitsas finds nothing “untoward in such relationships,” if we are to believe his above quoted comments.
Finally, Moulitsas’ relationship with the CIA makes perfect sense, as Daily Kos appears to be yet another political front operation tasked with cracking the whip over “progressive” Democrats and marching them off to support the Bilderberger Queen Hillary Clinton and her probable running mate, Barack Obama, both on record as supporting the neocon plan to reduce the Muslim world to a smoldering wasteland, albeit with stylistic policy changes. It is no secret the CIA has long stage managed the controlled opposition and Moulitsas’ admitted relationship with the agency should be considered a coup de grâce, an effort designed to reduce the “progressive” Democrat opposition to the invasion and occupation of Iraq and the impending attack to be leveled against Iran as little more than an empty and absurd rhetorical slogan.
This is great news! I knew one day old B-O would say the wrong thing to the wrong person and get smacked...I hope this lawyer fella goes for the throat.
Bravo, Keith! Orally set himself up for that one - he practically pulled down his pants and gave you the "I am a loony dumbass. Kick me" sign to pin on his behind. You masterfully granted him his wish.
Well how bout that, there's an original selection
Hahaha, that was great. Sometimes you just need a laugh at the expense of whole ass like b.o.
Keith was great, "what's the diff ? peabody, polk ? loofah, falafell ? whatever
yeranalyst @ 57:
Show one example that kos pushes clinton, or obama for that matter. You are waaayyy off.
What I can't believe is, jane Hall,(whom i respect) keeps going back on his show, after one night he CUT HER MIC because she said that there were untrueisms on HIS website... as she was explaining, he CUT HER MIC.
I find it truly amazing that Billy only goes after people he knows he can bully. Let's see him invite Keith on his show to spar. Or better yet, let's see him go on Countdown. I would love to see an invitation sent to Billy from Keith to be on Countdown, and then Keith can run him down when he won't respond like Billy does to anyone who won't go on his show.
crazy train @ 62:
Markos uses mind control techniques to cause his diarists to post pro-Clinton pieces. He just hasn't mastered the technique yet - since there are plenty of Kos diarists that post against Clinton. But dont' let that influence your opinion contrary to the obvious lockstep mentality of the Kos diarists. /sarcasm
I've seen many comments deleted and people banned from DailyKos. I've seen selective culling of people who are to the left of Markos. I don't see Markos as particularly progressive. I've seen regular contributors who are Markos' kiss asses get people censured and banned. There is in my opinion quite a lot of pressure or influence, albeit sometimes subtle, to direct the opinion on that site and guard against diverging yet still progressive views.
What I find interesting is that Markos had to make that gut wrenching decision to be a CIA agent or to work for Howard Dean. Pardon me if I sense a disconnect in these choices. If if it is true that the CIA has tried to manipulate or own virtually every conventional information source in this country, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that they would they would do the same with the the potentially more influential internet. It has already been shown that they are selectively editing the Wikipoedia to make themselves appear better and deleting items that were criminal or bordering on criminal. They have also editing other entries and trying to revise history by blunt force.
The problem with the CIA is that they behave as though they are the determiners and guardians of US strategic interests as opposed to an intelligence gathering organization as they were meant to be. Their mandate is to supply the elected leaders of this country with non partisan fully vetted intelligence so that those leaders can develop policy. What they have become and right from the onset I might add is a shadow government working for business interests, financed to the tune of about 40 billion dollars a year. They have tried to brainwash the American people by manipulating the media, they have overthrown governments, assasinated political leaders, they have unhealthy relations with organized crime and have imported heroin and crack cocaine. More importantly they have allowed themselves to be used in partisan politics.
When Markos stated he found them to be a generally liberal group, he exposed himself as immensley naive, or he was trying to exonerate his own activities, or maybe he really didn't quite leave the organization.
All I know is that the CIA should not be involved in the manipulation of the publics information sources. I also know that given their propensities and past activities that they are knee deep in the dessemination of information on the internet to influence the publics perception of national policy as determined by them. Clearly they are subtle and unobvious, they have spent billions of dollars honing, refining,and making a science of P.R., propaganda, disinformation, brainwashing, and mass manipulation. It is called PsyOps or Psychological Operations. They are not like a Madison Avenue ad agency. They have used radiation, drugs, and torture on witless or unsuspecting people, injuring, permanently damaging, or in some cases killing them, honing their manipulating skills. This is the organization that Markos calls predominately liberal that wants a stable world.
The fact of the matter is that after World War II, one of the first strategies the CIA adopted was that of political destabilization. They did so with awareness brought to them by the British. They realized that colonialization, and occupation were efforts that ultimately were doomed to failure and enormously cost ineffective. It was much easier influencing elections, killing upstart political leaders or movements that in their opinion were not suitable to American or western business interests. Destabilization though was their trump card. Selectively influencing, arming ,and financing opposing groups in the same country and keeping the country unstable was the cheapest way to serve American business interests. American taxpayers pay billions to arms manufacturers that supply all sides in a conflict, No powerful nationalist leadership coalesces that can put the interests of the country and its people ahead of predatory American business exploitation, all sides in the conflict are dependent on American arms and money paid for by you and me allowing American business to exploit the resources of the the country unimpeded.
Maybe Markos should rethink his estimation of the CIA, and if he is still in their employ he should quit if they let him. Their is an old adage that if you want to play with the devil you will have to play by the devil's rules.
I can't imagine that Biff 'o Reilly is far from thrue, he's my hero and so close to my saviour.
I think he's the 'BEST' person in the World! He, 'o really, knows that the Jews killed our saviour, god bless him!
KISS,KISS,KISS.
Come on people, someone sue Fox and get Bill canned.
Say,
How come you'all are so obsessed with Bill? If you don't like him, turn him off and ignore him. Hating him debases you, not him.
Pay more attention to a liar whose has potential to actually do us all some more damage, like the Hildebeast!
Peace out,
Bling
You are allowed to have your own opinion as long .it mirrors Falafal Bill.
If you do not agree, you are not only attacked by his insane ravings but worse by the foam dripping from the corners of his mouth.
ThunderNutz @ 64:

Keith Olbermann's 'Countdown' grows
The truth hurts people. WE can gripe about O'Really as much as we want, at least I don't go to his website and post comments calling is viewers names. So nice.
You aren't going to change any minds here, O'Reilly lies and it can be proven quite easily, by things like facts. I know it hurts seeing as though you hold him to be a beacon of truth and no spin, it's not true.
[Blogwhoring-Sitemonitor]
Might as well chalk one up for the left. Funny how the right continues to proclaim truth and then continues to be exposed for being liars.

If the mouthbreathing wingnuts who are fankids of O'Reilly's were more than semi-literate, they would be able to go read for themselves the reality behind the situations Keith nails Orally's loony dumbass for. They would be able to read the original diary at DKos written by Dhonig, for instance, and realize that he was quoting someone else's anti-semitic comments and complaining about the comments. Far from being anti-semitic, he was complaining about anti-semitism.
I bet even Faux News laughs at the gullibility of their demographic (sorry, that's audience for the the semi-literate Faux mouthbreathers) who fall for whatever Faux makes up.

I don't know why I bothered to read this mouthbreathing dreck from the Freepers. I thought it would be a waste of time, and indeed it turned out to be a waste of time. Where's the beef against Keith? Nothing but ad hominems.
If the Freepers weren't wasting there time existing in their mother's basements, they might learn something other than feces flinging.

maybe u should tell that to keith bc thats all he does
