Reply #22: I've been trying to figure out what is *most* objectionable about O'Reilly . . . [View All]

Is it his lying? His bullying? His supercilious attitude? His casual use of stalker tactics to obtain freakshow footage for his program? His adamant hypocrisy?

All of these are pretty hateful, but what gets under my skin about this clip is his insistence in telling *me* what I believe. Clearly he neither has a clue what "the left" believes -- nor does he care -- but he's very eager to tell us what a whole segment of the population believes in, regardless of how twisted or preposterous.

I actually think O'Reilly is the most dangerous of the Goebbels-wannabees out there -- much more dangerous than Hannity, Limbaugh, Savage, Ingraham -- because he somehow simulates the cadences of credible speech (and the production values) that one associates with rational journalism. Only trogs can swallow the swill vomited out by Hannity, et al, but O'Reilly is smooth enough to be scary.
