        I love how these two are talking about how Media Matters attacks them and Goldberg said Helen Thomas 15 minutes were up in the Lincoln Administration and O'Reilly said if Obama poored water on her she would have turned to dust.  These idiots don't get it.  It is not okay for MMFA to broadcast their own friggin words but it is okay for them to go after an 89 year old icon of the White House press corps.  I have never seen battleships under such distress from spitballs.  I think they really hate MMFA because of how cringe inducing they appear in their own eyes and those of loved ones when their words are simply reproduced on this website.

      Bernie motivates a conservative to murder liberals

       [...]

      "This was a symbolic killing. Who I wanted to kill was every Democrat in the Senate & House, the 100 people in Bernard Goldberg's book. I'd like to kill everyone in the mainstream media.

      [...]

      Bernie Baby, you are forgetting something. You've written trash, it is in print and everybosy sees it. OR, has MMFA cost you a few bucks and a little bit of pride swallowing for being a hack? Mrs. Goldberg must be proud of her bravado  Battleship Baby Boy.

      Between Goldberg and the Townhall reporter alarmed at the YouTube video of the kid from the dentist's office, I just can't understand what the deal is. Does BOR just bring them on to make himself look more rational?

      But Goldberg was right to compare himself to a battleship. The U.S. has mothballed all of our battleships because they no longer have a purpose in our current landscape.

      Really Bernie? MMFA must have misquoted you. We don't throw spitballs at battleships. What we do is Battle Bullchit. And you leave plenty behind every day. The pile must must seem as big as a battleship. Remember what happened to your poor misunderstood friend Bushie when he said "bring it on". Years later and trillions in debt--the economy in shambles (aided and abetted by your friends on Wall Street of course so Bush can't take all the credit) and what do we have? Has the 'mission' really been accomplished? Depends who you ask I suppose. Haliburton has certainly done well. Well--we won't be asking you. You're irrelevant.

      Cut and paste this Bernie:

      Thing is, they don't go after what MMFA has said about them, or the facts that they used about them. They, as is typical, go after the messenger. They don't go back, and say, "Well, MMFA said this, and here's why they're wrong.." Nope, it is all about name calling, veiled threats of killing people that they don't like, or who disagree with them, and that's about it. Sounds like someone is touching a nerve over there at FoxNews.

      Bill, you play the tough guy role so well. Come out into the real world. I dare you to get into the faces of the people you talk tough to over the radio and the TV. I'm willing to bet, you'd get knocked the f*** out. I'd pay good money to see it. It would be funny, and I'm sure it would be a hit on Youtube. Send your producers to my house, or Fox security, heck, I'll give you the address, and then you'll see how a liberal defends his house with a 12 gauge semi automatic Benelli shotgun.

      I think Bernie was right on the money with this.  After all, battleships are old, slow, technologically outdated vessels that had had little practical value since the end of World War II.  I believe the US Navy, understanding how useless they are in today's world, retired them all.

      Perhaps we should congratulate Goldberg for this all too rare moment of insight.

      Finally! Bernie gets around to one of the real reasons they wanted Steele in a prominent position: to bring up the totally fake "They throw Oreos at a conservative black man" garbage. Come on Bernie, even Steele had to stop saying they threw Oreos at him and instead go back to the unprovable "I saw them in the audience and one was rolled at me" untruth. Racism- any type of racism, is what these far right wing nuts thrive on. Forget if it's true as long as they can claim the Dems are racist they can ignore their own record on race relations.
