Bill O'Reilly is at it again. Just evidence number 43,293 that Billo is hurtling down the path to Crazy Town. Last month, he made racist statements about African Americans and now the Dumbledore "controversy" has his knickers in a twist. On Friday's Countdown Keith Olbermann and Air America Radio's Rachel Maddow could barely contain their laughter as they discussed his latest hissy fit.
The Falafel Guy used the brain in the giant head of his to concoct the theory that author J.K. Rowling is somehow trying give gays parity with heterosexuals and indoctrinate kids into gayness by revealing that the fictional character Dumbledore is gay. The Culture Warrior has been trying his best to get his guests to agree with him, but he's not having much luck -- even former comedian turned Fox whiner Dennis Miller wouldn't sign on to this latest nutbaggery.
Olbermann: "A month after his racist remarks about a New York restaurant, O'Reilly now coming out against tolerance a little more than four years after, according to the lawsuit from his former producer Andrea Mackris, BillO tried to talk her and a female friend of hers into performing homosexual acts while he was present. To paraphrase, the hypocrite mantra -- Do as I say, not as I fantasize."

Idiot.
Boy, BILLO is really running low on material if this is the best he can come up with for a show. I guess its getting really difficult to spin things in a good way for the Bush Administration (after all, it is difficult to polish is a turd) so he goes after a storybook character instead.
for gash sakes
Hmm. Not sure I agree that Bill O is on the path to Crazy Town. He's the Mayor of Crazy Town as he arrived there LONG ago.
Its almost as funny as FEMA's fake press conference.
Scytherius @ 4:
Yes... but I think he's moving his way up to Governor of the State of Insanity.
Olbermann: “A month after his racist remarks about a New York restaurant, O’Reilly now coming out against tolerance a little more than four years after, according to the lawsuit from his former producer Andrea Mackris, BillO tried to talk her and a female friend of hers into performing homosexual acts while he was present. To paraphrase, the hypocrite mantra — Do as I say, not as I fantasize.”
I would bet that is not all BILLO has been up to. As we have seen in the past from many like BILLO the more they shout about cultural issues the weirder they themselves turn out to be. I would hate to see what skeletons are hiding in Bill's closet just waiting to be discovered.
When are you people going to figure it out? The more you talk about what Bill O says, the more he is going to say it. While I absolutely adore Keith Olbermann for his principled stands on important issues, his (or his show's producers and owners which is more likely) obsession with what Bill O does, is in fact completely counter productive. They are basically an advertising outlet for O'reilly.
I've heard endlessly from all the right-thinking people about how we have to oppose the horrors of anne coulter and bill o'reilly. And they are horrors, deep, terrifying horrors. But the right thinking people have been 'opposing' them for years, and I have just one question: How's that going?
Stop it already. Turn your backs on stupidity. And no that doesn't mean you let them 'work their evil'. These people have no power other than their power to control your attention. The fundamental glue holding the entire MSM spin apparatus together is the willingness to give a shit about what stupid, nasty, racist, fools say.
hmmm, that seems pretty easy to fix.
I am so glad that Oberman seems to be embracing Rachel on his show. I would love to see her get exposure whenever possible. I think her cheerful charm delivering serious news has made more impact that the typical scare tactics that some pundents will use. "Be scared of those who are tolerant of others" was a very good point she made and utterly struck it down as being ridiculous right wing talking points. I first thought how crazy it is to be scared of a gay wizard that is the likable character. I'm surprise I haven't heard anything on how Dumbledore tried to molest Harry Potter. That was one of the talking point of protecting the children from Gay teacher in the past.
How he has any viewers with the K.O. option out there is beyond me. Excuse me forgot the 24% wingnut factor which must do everything in lockstep Like the lemmings even if the cliff of insanity looms over they go
What part of "fictional character" is unclear? And even if Dumbledore was as real as GOP corruption, so fvcking what if he's gay?
My kids (big Harry Potter fans) reaction when they heard about this was, "Oh, interesting." ... That was it.
Bildo and his ilk are are a bunch of fvcking hypocritical retards.
So why doesn't someone get around to spoofing Falfel Guy properly. We all get Colbert's angle on him. But someone needs to go after Bill O. point-blank, present that freak side: Bill on-air, then at home with his phone and toy.
C'mon South Park. The script is already out there.
Heard the girl got millions. Must be why the tapes never surfaced, when tapes always surface.
In Bildo's world, "teh gay" is okay, but only if it's "girl-on-girl" action for his pleasure. What a fvcktard.
I mean, he's afraid of teh gay, when he takes it from a battery-powered cocklet? We know why you smirk, Bill-O. OH! OH! OH!
The cowardly and weak Bush-o-fascists are afraid of Rachel Maddow. How can they fight Osama Bin Laden if they are afraid of a witty, warm radio host?

Rachel's best quote from this bit:
"There is a line where it approaches a little bit scary, where the Venn diagram of idiotic and scary overlap and there's Mr. O'Reilly in the middle."
Classic!
One has to be very careful to see what's being slipped to us while the public's attention is diverted elsewhere.

Excellent column by Leonard Pitts in today's paper about the Dumbledore details, explicating how such details help fill out a character but they don't define a character.
I guess that's the case unless you are Bill O'Reilly. So what is it that makes Bill O obsess on such details??? Do we really want to know? As he is a public figurehead who has far too many followers...we want him to get healthy! He does far too much damage.
How far off the rails has BillO gone that even Dennis Miller doesn't agree with him.
Blue Buddha @ 6:
He'll have to wait until Governor Hannity resigns because of a Dumbledorian indiscretion.
Billo is playing to his demographic - middle aged blue collar males who feel disenfranchised by a world they just don't understand. They sit in corner bars, drinking from long neck bottles and cheering every time Billo, Hannity, Limbaugh or Coulter on the TV up in the corner says something stupid about people they assume have a better life than they do.
This is the silliest thing. I think J. K. Rowling really knows how to keep her name and her books in the news.
Bill-O secretly wants to get the old strap-on magic wand treatment from Dumbledore.
Bet your bottom dollar.
-GSD
The right wing has always played this cowardly game of preaching homophobia by proxy of preaching against any push for more tolerance, acceptance, and understanding. They are smart enough to know their doctrine is not what sensible people in a free country want.
kaT @ 22:
I really don't think Rowling's books suffer from a lack of exposure. Harry Potter is probably the best known fictional character ever. Besides, if all the Potter books suddenly ended up on remainder tables, the woman is richer than Oprah.
The point is Billo - I'm reminded of The huge conservative flap over Murphy Brown, a tv sitcom character, being single and getting pregnant. Then VP Dan Quayle went nuts and the values voters ate it up. Billo is just doing the same thing. He gets a twofer on this one, urban rednecks AND their wives. The rednecks fantasize about stuff they dare not mention and the wives come unglued about gays in schools.
O'Lielly and Coulter are just caricatures of the rabid right. Can't we please ignore them and possibly, by doing so, they will go off our collective radar screens.
O'reilly seems to be a self loathing, gay pedophile. He presented a story about a boy being kidnapped and used as a sex toy for 4 years and said the boy probably liked it. He offers great deference to catholic priests, and a large portion of his show nowadays involves stories about pedophiles, sexual deviants, and homosexuals.
Dear Mr. O'Reilly
I think thou dost protest too much.. getting too close to YOUR reality.
Poor Billo. Everyone is making him look like unhinged by unfairly pulling a Media Matter - repeating what he said.
Huckleberry Hound was gay. Floyd the barber was gay. Bert and Ernie? Suffice to say, it's not Burt and Ernestine, is it? Don't get me started about Jerry Van Dyke in Mother My The Car (deep, deep closet- Anthony Perkins territory).
And now Dumbledore.
O'Reilly Is Right!! As usual.
Hell in a handbasket I tell ya.....
Heavens to murgatroid! Exit stage left!
Uncle Charlie on My Three Sons, everybody on Bonanza,everybody on The Avengers, Whitey on Leave it to Beaver, all the bionic people, ROFL the worlds been turned upside down.
Keep up the good work, billo, you're my favorite punching bag. You are the Barney Fife of faux news(he was gay too).
Only women are allowed to catch "the gay".
Manufactured "debate", a common use of New World Order Hegelian Dialectic, or problem, reaction, solution.
It's primary purpose is useful as a diversion and distraction tactic. A large percentage of the American population will be enraged by this and therefore will divert energy and attention away from real issues and news events.
First witchcraft no homosexuality. What are they trying to do with our children. Make them read or something?
Shades of Dan Quayle and Murphey Brown.
Rachel Maddow uses Venn diagrams in her arguments? That's awesome!
Bill "sex freak" Oreilly true too form, the phone sex requests was unusual but now the cultural warrior who spouts morality, writes childrens books on one hand and adult pornography on the other is really a contradiction, but not surprising the new revelations he requested his underlings too do a unnatural act, he is typical of the right wingers hiding their true nature while denouncing everyone elses sins, hypocrite is what they are, and not surprising....
Correction: alleged comedian.
AndrewK @ 24:
---------------------------
homosexuals and communists were hitler's first targets.
there have always been questions about adolph's sexuality as well. he may have worked as a male prostitute in vienna while a young man. closeted homosexuals are eaten up with self hate and guilt which they project onto others. punish them and maybe you can exorcise the confusion in your own head.
this article about the book "The Hidden Hitler" brings up even more similarities that the bush bunch have to the nazis.
please send any godwin law complaits to idon'tgivearatsasswhatyouthink@stuffyerselfs

The tone of Olbermann's show and O'Reilly's is far apart. It's not just the politics, but the language. The reference to a Venn diagram, for example. Even if a typical O'Reilly viewer liked Olbermann's show, its likely that some of the references would go right over the viewer's head.
i should say SOME closeted homosexuals feel guilty....there are many different reasons to not be out. a poor choice of words on my part.
Billo ain't just on the path to Crazy Town, he is standing in the town square screaming his head off. The man is full bore bonkers, without even a faint glimmer of rationality.
Billo is right,
he can see the 'Gay Rays' that this dumbbelweed or whatever he is called is sending out of the books, and in the movie the Gayness virus is let loose on the unsuspecting children, he only thinks of children!!!!!
When will someone lock up this tweet in a padded cell?
Aha! So O'Reilly admits that he's not concerned about "the indoctrination of our children" (whatever the heck that means) about "the gay agenda" (whatever the heck that means), but that he's concerned about our indoctrinating our children to be "tolerant of homosexuals." He exposed himself here pretty frankly, and I'm surprised he was so willing to say what he did. Would someone please turn those words around in an interview with him and ask him if he wasn't promoting our children to be intolerant of homosexuals, then what exactly was he doing? And furthermore, if he was promoting intolerance of homosexuals, then how would he like to see our children exercise their intolerance?
This guy is even more dangerous than I thought before seeing this videoclip.
What can you say. These guys like O'Reilly just make it too easy to not laugh out loud.
It's like a conveyor belt of punch-lines for the late night circuit.
What is it with the far right and their obsession with gays and the homosexual lifestyle. They act like its
the beginning of the end of Western Civilization where gays take over the world...Well gays or Islamo-Facists...Good god, 99% percent of the population just doesn't give a crap about this stuff. Yet, to listen
to these right-wing freaks, there is no more pressing issue facing our society today.
to think this controversy could overshadow something as timely and important as "islamofascism awareness week".
wow.
Billo is really out of it. Maybe he should ask what the teens of America think about this revelation. i would say except for in places where Tony Perkins et al reign supreme most kids would say"So? What's the point?".Bill is becoming a living anachronism. I guess that he is really alive. No woman wants to get close enough to find out.
O'Reilly loves to scare his 70 something viewers about gays and immigrants to get them to vote for top 1 percent tax cutters
Reich-wingers, your spokespersons are so completely marginalized among real journalists, real Americans, real morals, real intelligence, and real values. No wonder you "people" worship everything they say.
I gotta tell you, I am so sick of everyone having to be defined by their sexuality. What the hell is that all about anyway. Hetero, homo, bi, who gives a shit; I don't. The only sexuality I care about is between my wife and myself. How about something new and worthwhile to talk about. Is it just this non-culture?
KO kinda missed Maddow's zinger about the Senate. If closet gays tended to indoctrinate heterosexuals, then what about the US Senate...
My god, what has she been hearing? ;-)
In a 1931 expose of the Nazi Party, two years before it took power, the Munich Post attacked "the disgusting hypocrisy that the party demonstrates -- outward moral indignation while inside its own ranks the most shameless practices prevail," and said that "every knowledgeable person knows that inside the Hitler party the most flagrant whorishness contemplated by paragraph 175 (defining homosexuality as a criminal offense) is widespread." Machtan confirms that Nazi hypocrisy, noting how "homosexuality was simultaneously proscribed and protected: Hitler had tailored it to his political and personal requirements."
Why are such idiots permitted to be on TV. I don't know why Malkin has left, they deserve each other.
SevenString @ 13:
Exactly. If it's two guys having any sort of relationship--even if one of them is a completely fictional, highly moral, upstanding fellow suffering from unrequited love--then it's horrifying. Hot girl-on-girl action, however, is awesome. Unless they want to have kids--then that's just plain wrong.
Isn't that the rules?
After all, hose "We want to live together and raise kids like everybody else." types are the ones who send their offspring to join whatever East-coast gang Bill thinks is marching around terrorizing straights with their pink pistols.
Frankly, after I heard that one, I marked Bill off as at very least the governor of the State of Insanity, and apparently running for president of The United States of Bizzaro. Getting worked up about some fictional wizard's sexuality isn't even in the same league of nuts.
As I recall, the passages in the Bible that refer to the evils of homosexuality mention only not lying with mankind, as with womankind, clearly referring to men sexing up other men. Using a strict, literalist interpretation of the bible, hot, slippery girl-on-girl action is A-OK. Bill-O is not a hypocrite, at least in this sense, He's just following the strict word of God.
I would rather have the unhinged stay away from my kids, than the gay.
I strongly feel that what fictional characters do behind closed doors is entirely their own business... heh...
Go figure. All this time I thought it was Longbottom that was gay. /snark
Billafel's official Double Wide Stance that M/M sex is disgusting but F/F action is ... interesting continues to be a running joke at my co-op, where a few of the households are same-sex. In investigating the conjured summer uproar over Miss NJ Amy Polumbo's (totally non)salacious photos the odious Horndog Inquisitor asked if the pictures showed Ms. Polumbo and her friends cavorting. :lol: Too funny! The lesbian neighbors still refer to it as in: Yeah, we passed on the comps [for Some Function]. We just had dinner, cavorted awhile and then settled into some girl on girl ...
The clip isn't working for me. Darn it.
now would be a good time for george lucas to reveal that yoda was gay and make lufa boy's head explode
Please help me- Hillary Clinton is trying to force me into a homasekshual marriage
SEXUAL PREDATOR BillO!
Didn't he say he had a vibrator when he was harassing Andrea? Vibrator, falafal, loofa, french toast....something like that...
Only in America.
Faux outrage against a fictional character.
The mind boggles where this lot will go to next trying to find something to whine about.
We need to start a web donor drive to buy O'Reilly a weekend with Leezzaa and Rosie, just to see if that would calm him down and make him happy.
Rachel Maddow comports herself with dignity. I am so glad there is no one with dignity on the other side of the fence. Hahaaaa.
Thanks for putting on Keith and Rachel, as I wouldn’t watch BillO talking about it.
So he’s preaching intolerance for gays, is he? I say Larry Craig ought to be publicly castrated, on FOX noise, then. I mean, isn’t that kinda what he’s saying: hate and punish gays; they’re subhuman?
“We need one set of laws for heterosexual Americans and another set for homosexual Americans.” Is that it BillO???
[I never cared for Dennis Miller. As an actor, I thought he was full of himself, and an asshole. I didn’t even know his name, I’d see him in movies and go, “Oh, this guy. I’m not watching.” To find out he went to Fux news seems only fitting. At least he’s not 100% bad as he seems not to be a 100% BillO zombie. Just wanted to get that off my chest. Thanks. ]
Rachel Maddow is so great - incredibly smart, funny, and so up-beat. I'm so happy to see her getting air time with KO. Of course, he's amazing too.
Bloviating Billo--sounds like Faux is throwing their cash cow under the bus! Could it be?! I'm so ready for him to be axed.
AbbeyHoffmansGhost @ 67:
Wouldn't it be nice if both sides of the fence had some dignity?
She want people to see people in a certain way...as people! what a dip shit Bill'O-job is! Oh heavens Jesus would never support the idea of tolerance would he?
Push, push, push that envelope. See how crazy-hateful you can be and still draw ratings. Because if this didn't work like the good propaganda it is (propaganda doesn't have to make sense, my little pigeons, oh no: it works even better when it doesn't make sense, because then everyone talks about it), it wouldn't be on the air and Bill wouldn't be saying it.
The idea is to see how much crazy hate you can put out there without the public paying attention and protesting. Besides, you have outrage fatigue working for you. "Ah, that's just some guy again, who cares, let the FCC take care of it." And the FCC has already been taken care of.
Then you push the envelope a little more until someone somewhere takes up a cudgel and goes by God right after one a them stinky hippie scum or one a them Muzzies or one a them CodePinkos. And just see what happens, just see.
Likely not much at all--or maybe the perp will be invited to the White House. Well done! Push again.
yellow dog @ 25:
Nope, that would be Jesus.
According to Bill O, there are two kinds of homosexuals we must fear:
1) Those that exist
2) Those that doesn't
What about the way this Nazi (Bill) wants children want to see homosexuality? What a fucking loon. Go homogenize your brain already.
Just another showing from a Love God of the Far Right Wing... Bill O at it again. Unbelievable. http://www.blimptv.net/lovegods.html
Keep thinking peace brothers and sisters...
Rachel Maddow is so great
Rachel Maddow is great. She has a Ph.D. I think her thesis was on women's prison movies from the 1930s, but I may be wrong.
Back in the 50's Lassie was a transexual, always a male playing a female. I only watched the show because I had a huge crush on Timmy.
