Bill O’Reilly Is A Liar. Alan Colmes Is An Idiot.

4:17 pm EST April 23rd, 2009 | News | 14 Comments

Sweet Jesus.

Bill O’Reilly falsely claimed Richard Nixon never met Mao Zedong. In fact, Nixon met with Mao in February 1972.

In the exchange, Alan Colmes played his assigned role: The dopey liberal, chastened by his conservative master.

    I really hope Alan Comes got paid well to be a stunt double/punching bag/fool. Old Ruppert needed at least one token ‘liberal’ on his vanity channel.

    I weep for the writers of history books.
    It seems no one associated with FOX has ever read one . . .

    Oliver, did you actually watch the interchange between Colmes and O’Reilly? How can you say that he was a “dopey liberal chastened by his conservative master?” Colmes actually put up an excellent, forceful argument against conservative opposition to dialogue with America’s adversaries. Here’s an excerpt:

    COLMES: “Well, first of all, this shows — first of all, what do you, ignore the guy? When George W. Bush was at the UN and asked, “Will you ever — will you talk to Ahmadinejad if you’re in the same room?” “No, I won’t talk to him” — like a 5-year-old.

    “What do you, ignore somebody standing right next to you? Do we — because he touched him, put his hand on his shoulder, shook his hand? Do these people have a problem with Mao and Nixon? And of course, you worked for Richard Nixon. I mean, Nixon goes to China, do you have a problem with –”

    It seems that your calling Colmes an “idiot” and “dopey” is based more on your dislike for him; it has nothing to do with what he actually says. You don’t have to like Colmes; however, you’re not treating him fairly here.

    Oliver, I’d be careful about calling the Big O a “liar.”

    I prefer “torture enabler” as an adjective for him or possibly “bat-shit crazy with a twist.”

    BUT – I have to admit – and I apologize – “liar” is a pretty accurate one too.

    By Republican standards* Republicans love Dictators.

    Nixon loved Mao.

    Ford loved Brezhnev.

    Reagan loved Yuri Andropov.

    Republicans not only loved Dictators, Republicans especially loved Communist Dictators.

    More seriously, Right winger’s toxic revisionist history is deeply deceitfut, very corrupting, and increasingly dangerous.

    * Republican standards?? Republican’s First Rule: Rules are for Other People.
