O’Reilly Attacks Gore For Attending Netroots Nation: ‘The Same As If He Stepped Into The Klan Gathering’


On Saturday, former Vice President Al Gore made a surprise appearance at the Netroots Nation convention in Austin, TX. In his speech, Gore praised the gathering of progressives, saying that they are part of an effort to “reclaim the integrity of American democracy.”

While the attendees of Netroots Nation received Gore with enthusiasm, his appearance has caused Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly to declare that Gore has “gone off the deep end.”

On his radio show today, O’Reilly claimed that Gore was now associating himself with the most “hateful group in the country.” “And I’m including the Nazis and the Klan in here,” said O’Reilly.” He then claimed that attending Netroots Nation was “the same as if he stepped into the Klan gathering”:

O’REILLY: Al Gore now is done. He’s done. Ok. He is not a man of respect, he doesn’t have any judgment. The fact that he went to this thing is the same as if he stepped into the Klan gathering. It’s the same. No difference. None. K, he loses all credibility with me. All credibility.

It’s no surprise that O’Reilly is attacking Netroots Nation given his previous verbal assaults on its predecessor YearlyKos. Before the YearlyKos conference last year, O’Reilly compared it to “a David Duke convention.”

But O’Reilly exposes the hyperbolic shallowness of his name calling when he claims that “these Daily Kos people” are worse than “the Nazis and the Klan,” but then assures his audience that they won’t “come to your house and hurt you.”

Note to O’Reilly: The Nazis and the Klan actually hurt people.

4. Gore has lost O'Reilly's confidence in his credibility?

That'll keep Al up nights.

[gratuitous]

13. Dearie me!

Surely this will give the Nobel Prize and Academy Award winner a positive case of the vapors!

Can you imagine the void between Billo's ears if he believed even a tenth of the crap he spews?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

5. Yo! Billo! MFer!

Shut your clownface.

Dumb as his listeners need him to be.

[my2sense]

6. O'Lielly

is a twisted piece of work. The scary thing is the number of people that actually listen to this POS.

7. Must suck watching everything

you've sold your honor and soul for spiral down the drain?
It must suck being Bill O'Liely these days.

[billyoc]

8. Keep spewing that ass-falafel, dummy.

Because America is listening. :rofl:

[Yavin4]

9. People Who Think for Themselves

Gather their own information, analyze it, and share it with others are the greatest threat to people like O'Reilly. They cannot be programmed what to think and to say.

The corporate media has completely lost its grip on the younger generation.

10. "He's done."

That's what people said about O'Really after the fallafel affair and look how he bounced back!

I bet Al Gore will be able to stage a comeback after this huge lapse in judgement...

:sarcasm:

[Jack Rabbit]

11. “these Daily Kos people” are worse than “the Nazis and the Klan,”

Thus speaks O'Reilly, who also speaks about "lynching" Michelle Obama.

[Lex]

12. A parade of stupidity

is O'Reilly.

[Uncle Joe]

15. Well if this sentence is correct, Al Gore deserves another Nobel Peace Prize.

"O’REILLY: Al Gore now is done. He’s done. Ok. He is not a man of respect, he doesn’t have any judgment. The fact that he went to this thing is the same as if he stepped into the Klan gathering. It’s the same. No difference. None. K, he loses all credibility with me. All credibility."

[GCP]

16. O'Reilly repeats himself over and over

Because he's a talentless POS.

"Al Gore is Done. He's done (1). OK.
It's the same. No difference. None. (2)K.
He loses all credibility with me. All credibility (3)
