Olbermann named O'Reilly "Worst Person" for stating "a lot of Jewish liberals" think terrorists "have the right" to "behead people on camera"
On the July 20 edition of MSNBC's Countdown, host Keith Olbermann named Fox News host Bill O'Reilly the winner of his nightly "Worst Person in the World" award for stating, as Media Matters for America noted, that there are "a lot of Jewish liberals" who believe that terrorists "have a right to do whatever they want -- behead people on camera, all this terrible stuff." Introducing O'Reilly's statement, Olbermann said: "This is a doozy from the radio. I'll just read it because other than the overlying religious element, I don't even think he knows what he meant by this." Olbermann concluded of O'Reilly's remark: "And here comes the anti-Semitism."
From the July 20 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:
OLBERMANN: But tonight's winner, Bill-O again. This is a doozy from the radio. I'll just read it because other than the overlying religious element, I don't even think he knows what he meant by this: "We have a very big split in the Jewish-American community. You got a lot of Jewish liberals, a lot of Jewish far-left people who basically feel that, you know, you don't have a right to go after terrorists because it's our fault, the United States' fault. And some say, it's Israel's fault because we've been mean to them. Therefore, they have a right to do whatever they want, behead people on camera, all this terrible stuff. OK. That's a far-left position." And here comes the anti-Semitism.

The other right-wing media mogul you should worry about
Palin's book and Obama's bow: a media week to forget
Media Matters: The Palin chronicles
it is just too dammed easy for the moonbat fringe to be awarded "Worst Person'. Perhaps if he offered a cash prize for someone to prove themself ever stupider then Flush or O'Lielly. Or if they can be more of a simpering wimp then Matthews.
Feel free to name names, bill. By all means, state your case.
Sooooo O'Really does consider "liberal" and "far-left" one in the same...
"We have a very big split in the Jewish-American community. You got a lot of Jewish liberals, a lot of Jewish far-left people who basically feel that, you know, you don't have a right to go after terrorists because it's our fault, the United States' fault."
and to add to that - Stewie Griffin from Family Guy (a show on FOX Tv) saying that O'Really? is the countdown's world's worst person..
Would I be mistaken in observing some irony in there?
To hate Jews because they are "liberals" and yet have to support Jews because they are "warriors".
According to Ann Coulter, Jews are also Christians:

keep it up Keith!
... I just feel like Bill doesn't know me at all. *sniff* Perhpas he'd like to come by and I can show him how I treat people I think are terrorists. Bwahahah.
Twice (or thrice) this week, must be off vacation (or he and Olderman have had a little get together to plan their summer offensive).
Neo-cons are anti-Semitic? What, David Duke's party? Another real shocker to any of us who are actually paying attention...
is done stewing in his jealousy of Ann Coulter-he's been telling her how much braver she is than him, but maybe he's asserting his manhood by being as stoopid as AC.
Nothing sez "sissy" in republo-world like thinkin' !
I agree. Very well put. B.O's jealous & playin Coulter catchup, he's a moron, and AC, BO. RL "&their ilk" hate intelligence for obvious reasons.
C&L has a Snow job fox tape where he claims, "Racism isn't that big a deal anymore." And we're supposed to take this ignorant, illegitimate trash seriously.
Let the jeters of the world make excuses for this slop.
