Blast From The Past: Al Frankin calls O'Reilly on his "Two Peabody Awards" B.S. Add that one

[TrollBuster9090]

to the list.

And then, of course, he claimed the Peabody Award is a shitty award anyway, and he's GLAD he never won one.

[Enrique]

1. someone showed him a picture of a Peabody award

[TrollBuster9090]

3. Hahah! There was a Peabody Award 1200 miles away, so he was technically in a "Peabody Zone?"

Damn, Franken got him good here. But all you ever see is the part where O'Reilly does his "Hey SHADAP!" routine.

[brucefan]

2. A Classic!

I remember it well.

[Buzz Clik]

4. He walked out on an interview on "Fresh Air" because Terry Gross brought it up.

O'Reilly's answer to every difficult situation is bullying; he seldom has the stones to dig in for the fight. On his own show, it's "Cut his mic! Cut his mic!" On others, he walks away.

And, yes, he's a liar, but no one gives a shit except the people obsessed with hating him.

[ret5hd]

6. Who is obsessed with hating him? As opposed to...

who is interested in calling him out on his lies?

[Buzz Clik]

7. You cannot be serious.

DU has been obsessing with the latest O'Reilly dust up for an entire week or more.

Yeah. Obsessed with hating him. He was called out for his lies a million times before, and he's completely bulletproof. His books sell. His program is insanely popular.

His fan base just doesn't care about his lies. Just us.

[libdem4life]

8. Obsessing? Hating? Who cares if his books sell? Geez...overreact much?

This is a news discussion site. He's in the news. He's a parody of a newsman. More like a joke. I'm guessing the latest will taint his tattering bulletproof facade and ultimately, he'll go away.

[Buzz Clik]

10. Meh. Whatever. Look up the definition of "obsess". I'm correct, and I'm done on this thread.

[ret5hd]

24. Cool. Suits me.

[Enthusiast]

30. Me too.

[malokvale77]

9. ^^^ this ^^^

The more liberals hate him, the more his fan base love him.

I don't know why DU keeps giving him free advertising.

On the other hand, Franken is dead on in his criticism of O'Reilly.

[Buzz Clik]

11. Yep. His share went UP with the pounding he was getting.

[libdem4life]

12. Indeed. Think it was curiosity on the part of a few. I almost tuned in, but just couldn't.

Doubt it will hold. But, who knows?

[malokvale77]

14. OT

From your sig line.

I saw Hendrix live in '69. The only thing that has compared since has been Willie Nelson or the Flatlanders.

[libdem4life]

15. Uh oh, my age is showing...yours too...LOL...never saw him live. What a musician and philosopher.

[malokvale77]

19. Yes...

I saw him live in Dallas, Texas 1969 (under the influence of purple psilocybin). It greatly shaped my life philosophy.

There were many more from our era, I just didn't get to see them live.

That's why I say the same for Willie and The Flatlanders. Great musicians, great philosophers.

Our age is definitely showing. I have to say though, that my kids and grandchildren all agree, that the best music has a message. They always are raiding my vast LP collection.

[TrollBuster9090]

18. Personally, I'm not obsessed with O'Reilly. Just obsessed with finding ways to discredit

the plutocrat's/GOP's propaganda machine.

The narrative should be that:

1. NBC fired Brian Williams because they're a real news organization that's concerned about their credibility., and

2. Bill O'Reilly is twice the bullshit artist that Williams ever was, but Fox will NEVER fire him because they're NOT a news organization, they're a propaganda machine, and are NOT concerned about their credibility.

5. a big REC

[madamvlb]

13. Thank you so much for posting!!!

Had to put my dog to sleep today and really needed a good laugh.

[libdem4life]

16. RIP...Always told my son they are with the Great Dog/Cat/Fish/Gecko Mother in the Sky.

[madamvlb]

20. Thanks, he was my mothers Bichon that I "inherited"....he was my boxers best buddy

For the past 5 1/2 years, he was 16 years young. [link:http://[url=http://postimg.org/image/op8i9nmql/full/][img][/img][/url] [url=http://postimage.org/]image hosting adult[/url]|

22. What calm love. Guess that would make two of you who lost a Bestie.

[TrollBuster9090]

21. I'm sorry to hear that! Dogs are definitely members of the family. nt

[madamvlb]

23. Thanks!!! He had ice cream this morning and went to the rainbow with a sugar high!

[mountain grammy]

17. I enjoyed that, you know, except for listening to BillO.

But to see and hear Molly Ivins is always a treat and Al is right. We need to stop taking it and fight back.

[libodem]

25. Woo Hoo

WooHoo!!! Gotta love this. .

[libodem]

27. Maybe he meant he got a gold star for "watching" Mr Peabody...for being a good boy.

The years do funny things to a memory.

[MADem]

28. Polk Salad Billy! The Gators think he's silly (chomp, chomp, chomp...)....

[Enthusiast]

29. Bill O'Reilly is repulsive.

That is all.

[chervilant]

31. Repulsive

AND delusional.

I had a difficult time watching these videos. It was obvious Schroeder was having a difficult time moderating. I don't think I could be in the same room as Billo, since I'd want to duct tape his nasty mouth shut.

[Enthusiast]

33. I'm with you on that.

He can't have a civil discussion and always resorts to insults.

[chervilant]

32. Thanks for posting these videos.

I watched the first one right after it aired, and I couldn't get over how vicious and rude is Billo. At this point, perhaps he is struggling with his burgeoning irrelevance.

(I think it's great how much Franken's assertions about Billo hit the mark--then AND now.)

[TrollBuster9090]

34. Thank YOU! And I think my favorite part about watching these videos is the thought that

a few years later, Bill-O is still using volume to deflect from his B.S. artistry....while Franken, on the other hand, IS A FREAKIN' United States SENATOR.

It cheers me up no end to imagine how much it must irk Bill to have to refer to Franken in the third person as "Senator Franken." Not that he does it very often, but every time he does you can see him cringe.

I think it's just so amazing that when I read Franken's book, the last chapter was a SATIRE on what he would do 'when' he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2008...and it actually ended up coming TRUE!

[chervilant]

35. I still have his book

Lies and the Lying Liars... so fitting a description of Billo!

I too am glad that Franken is a Senator. We need more like him!

[TrollBuster9090]

36. He seems to be the only Senator who actually does his BACKGROUND RESEARCH before going to

Senate hearings!

I'm sure this asshat couldn't believe that somebody had actually READ the stupid PAPER he was citing. Franken is absolutely the best. One of the few Senators that actually earns his pay.

[chervilant]

37. Well, well,well.

I guess the partisan prevaricators will have to revise their strategies...

Wish we had more Senators like Mr. Franken!
