O'Reilly: "[S]mear merchants on the Internet ... cherry pick" Snow quotes to "try to make him look like a buffoon and a hypocrite"
SUMMARY: Bill O'Reilly declared that Tony Snow is "under attack by the far left and Howard Dean" and that "smear merchants on the Internet" "cherry pick stuff" that Snow "wrote in his column and said on the Fox News Channel and try to make him look like a buffoon and a hypocrite," which "they do ... to me every day."
During the April 25 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly claimed that his Fox News colleague Tony Snow, the recently named White House spokesman, is "under attack by the far left and [Democratic National Committee chairman] Howard Dean." O'Reilly declared that "smear merchants on the Internet" "cherry pick stuff" that Snow "wrote in his column and said on the Fox News Channel and try to make him look like a buffoon and a hypocrite," which "they do ... to me every day." O'Reilly also said that these "despicable human beings" are able to "operate through some newspaper people and a couple of television people who just parrot what they give them," adding: "[T]he press is even worse. It just spits out their propaganda. I mean, these are Nazis. These are Joseph Goebbels people."
O'Reilly also attacked Dean, claiming that Dean has "made a deal with the far left," and that he is "not only incompetent" but "dishonest," as well.
From the April 25 edition of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:
O'REILLY: OK. As predicted, as we told you yesterday, Tony Snow is the new White House press secretary, and he's immediately under attack by the far left and Howard Dean. Now, it's interesting to watch how Dean has now made a deal with the far left and how he has thrown in continually with that group, which is never going to win an election and hurts the Democratic Party.
So, you got these smear merchants on the Internet and they operate through some newspaper people and a couple of television people who just parrot what they give them. They're despicable human beings, these smear merchants on the -- on the net. And the press is even worse. It just spits out their propaganda. I mean, these are Nazis. These are Joseph Goebbels people.
So, Snow, what they do is they go back and they cherry pick stuff that he wrote in his column and said on the Fox News Channel and try to make him look like a buffoon and a hypocrite. They do that to me every day. It's not hard to make me look like a dafoon -- a buffoon. You can do that without distorting. I do three hours of analysis every day, but these are dishonest people. I'll say something and they'll go -- and they'll take it out of context or they'll lie about it. And then a guy like Howard Dean will run around and scream and yell.
This shows me that the head of the Democratic National Committee, Howard Dean, is not only incompetent, but he is dishonest. And you really can't have somebody at that level that blatantly dishonest, because how can you support a political party where whose head is Howard Dean? You can't. I mean, it's ridiculous. No matter what the Democrats say or do, they've got this guy. And believe me, good Democrats know what a nut he is. They know. And they're embarrassed by it. But the far left has a stranglehold on the party.
What I like about this O'Reilly rant is how he backed up all of his assertions with examples. Oh wait - no he didn't.
never engaged in personal attacks. So that was another lie.
he does that all by himself!
You're the hypocrite and the buffoon and you don't have to cherry pick anything to prove that. You're living proof, all one need do is to wait for you to speak..
every time they say the "far left" has a strangehold on the party - I guess they don't see that the "far right" has a stranglehold on the Repubs? More importantly, the wingnut/ corporate-fascist/ultra-religious-zealot faction controls theirs. And on their end, it's not even for principles - it's for the personal benefit of a very few, very wealthy in society, and rarely, if ever, with the greater good in mind.
. . .gettin' jealous?
Afraid the up-and-comer {Snow} is going to replace you as a daily item on MMfA?
Think Tony is going to challenge your record number of Keith Olbermann "WPitW" awards?
Yes, Snow is younger, faster, and has more hair . . . but you're the wily old vet; we know you won't go down without a fight!
Don't worry: Snow doesn't take over until early in May, and when it comes to lying to the press, he has big shoes [McClellan's] to fill . . . so you still have time to maintain your elevated status as a rightwingnut bloviating propagandist apologist shill . . .
Your task, after all, is simple:
Keep opening your mouth.

I guess he'll have to add zombies to his enemies list.
Even better, he could use Steven Colbert's list of people that are "dead to me" considering that the man is actually dead.

This is rich, and BO is truly a buffon.
"It's not hard to make me look like a buffoon. You can do that without distorting."
Thanks for the honesty, Bill.
"They're despicable human beings, these smear merchants on the -- on the net." Not a smear "I mean, these are Nazis. These are Joseph Goebbels people." Not a smear. "Howard Dean, is not only incompetent, but he is dishonest." Not a smear.
"And believe me, good Democrats know what a nut he is. " Not a smear.
So what is your size, Bill?
To find out his shoe size, you'd have to first pry it from his mouth.
I've never seen a tree with so many cherries on it.
I just love it when you bring the Nazis into any argument. For one thing, you've mentioned on any number of occasions that you've tired of these Nazi references from people attacking other people's positions. Yet you just slid one in yourself. -
"It just spits out their propaganda. I mean, these are Nazis."
Well anytime you use the word propaganda in conjunction with the word Nazi, you'd better be especially careful.
Oh Bill - Heil Hitler!
" Howard Dean, is not only incompetent, but he is dishonest. And you really can't have somebody at that level that blatantly dishonest, because how can you support a political party where whose head is Howard Dean? You can't. I mean, it's ridiculous."
Mr. Orielly do you have the same opinion when it come to this administration? they have been incompetend, and blatantly dishonest as well. My point is that your commentaries are not fair and balanced as you would like us to believe.
Cleve
OK, so according to Bill, Democrats have this incompetent liar in Dean, who holds such a high level position, but when oh when will Bill ORielly talk about the incompetent liar currently in the higher position of the White House?
You make yourself look like "a buffoon and a hypocrite" every day, just by opening your hole. What an a**hat BOR is, sheesh.
Everytime he opens his mouth crap falls out. He whines more than my 1 year old neice does. What a pig...
How stupid are the bosses who pay O-LIE-LY?
Do they really think they can get honey from a bee hive by pounding it with a stick?
What a bunch of rubes!
I can't figure out why people wonder why they elected a moron! It's because they identify with him!
(read with a sarcastic tone) Bill O'Reilly is a stand up guy who is the consummate professional at what he does and he is the most fair and balanced commentator out there on television.
(Now that's a smear!)
Jokes become classic because the truths they reveal are timeless and universal. So, let me trot out one of the oldies-but-goodies (probably goes back at least as far as the Bible):
Q: How can you tell Bill O'Reilly is acting like a lying "dafoon" and a hypocrite?
A: His lips are moving.
I'll be here all week. Remember to tip your waitress.
A person isn't a smear merchant when they routinely catch this jackass on tape lying through his teeth.
Bill O'Liar will never, ever have even a fraction of the integrity, honesty and concern for the common American that Howard Dean exhibits tirelessly day after day.
Is that of the Bush Administration's cherry picking of rationalizations for the war. I love how pundits will use certain popular phrases to prove their point, as if their audience will only understand language currently being used in the media.
Billy- boy commented last night, that when he was in combat, he saw people killed right in front of him! Does he even know what "to tell the truth means'? The closest that buffoon got to combat was watching it on TV.
