'NPR is a Left Wing Jihadist deal'
Bill-o on the O'Really Factoid expressed his outrage at an animated political cartoon by Mark Fiore about learning to speak teabag which was posted on their website November 12, by labeling NPR a, “left wing jihadist deal.”


O'Really started off by calling the cartoon, “sophomoric, unfunny, stupid, and unnecessary.” He tried to get FNC's Jane Skinner to say that the NPR website favors Obama and is liberal, but Skinner said that website also goes after Obama too.


O'Reilly then asked if the website was fair and balanced and asked if there were more things on the website that mocks conservatives than liberals? Skinner pointed out that the cartoon was labeled as opinion just like Bill O'Really and Sean Hannity are on Fox News, and that she wasn't qualified to comment on the site.

O'Really followed this by saying that he didn't want any tax dollars going to fund a, “left wing jihadist deal.” Skinner replied, “I am not sure that would qualify as a jihadist deal.” O'Really replied, “They're clearly mocking tea partiers.” Skinner told Bill-O, “I think you need to get some thicker skin though.”

According to O'Really, anything that mocks teabaggers is now jihadist. Bill-O admitted that he has never been to the website, which means that he has no basis for labeling it jihadist, other than the fact that in November it ran a cartoon that mocks teabaggers. Since O'Really has never been to the website, he probably has never even seen the full cartoon, but that doesn't stop him from ranting against NPR.

I expect this to make Keith's list.

Media Matters has the video and I expect it to be on youtube shortly.

NPR to me sucks half the time after Bush destroyed it.
Juan Williams? Come on.
