Olbermann names O'Reilly "Worst Person" for defending comparison of Daily Kos blog to Nazis, KKK
Media Matters for America: O'Reilly named "Worst Person" for defending comparison of Daily Kos to Nazis, KKK

On the July 18 edition of MSNBC's Countdown, host Keith Olbermann named Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly the "winner" of his nightly "Worst Person in the World" segment for defending his comparison of the Daily Kos blog to the Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan during the July 17 edition of Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor," as Media Matters for America documented. Olbermann observed: "After the tidal wave of protests across the political spectrum as to his comparison of the liberal website the Daily Kos to the Nazis, he is still sticking with it. 'Hate is hate. That website traffics in it, as do Nazi websites. No difference.'"...

From the July 18 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:

OLBERMANN: But the winner, Bill-O. After the tidal wave of protest from across the political spectrum as to his comparison of the liberal website the Daily Kos to the Nazis, he's still sticking with it. "Hate is hate. That website traffics in it, as do the Nazi websites. No difference."

Bill-O doesn't understand the difference between Nazis and Daily Kos. Well, we already knew he didn't understand the difference between the Nazis and the American victims of Nazi war crimes at Malmédy in World War II, so this should not be surprising. His stupidity is effervescent. It glows. It fairly undulates and vibrates. I'll stop now; I'm getting Bill-O excited. Bill Orally, today's Worst Person in the World."

3. It doesn't help that is core audience is 70-years-old...
Time is not on Bill-o's side.

2. Weren't they the ones always accusing lefties of calling everyone Nazis
and thus losing the argument at that exact moment?

4. Did you see him with that edited sequence of O'Reilly talking to Miss New Jersey?
He kept asking her salacious questions about the photos she's being blackmailed with. It was crazy - the way Olbermann edited it, it was clear that O'Reilly was getting off on it.

5. It looked that way to me
But when it aired again, I took a long hard look at it again. I'm sure Billo was jonsing for a pack of Newports when the interview ended. It's no wonder why he's losing viewers and Keith is gaining them.

:evilgrin:
