Psh, I've gotten worse hate mail from stapler collectors.

ive given ur actual city, state address to al qaida websites...i do believe they will be taking you out very shortly and not a soul will care...not even ur mother......

someone should report that guy to the DHS, he's communicating with foreign terrorists and providing them with targeting information.

Fark it!

Bill's Producer is finally heard! Must see!

Classic 10/10

I think O'Reilly is a douche, but I also think that this is in poor taste. It shows that the douche factor of Daily Kos approaches the O'Reilly douche factor.

Yanks_RSJ: Fark it!

You can almost hear the spittle flying from their mouths...

Why do you think it's in poor taste?

That is awesome!

Can't take what you dish out Billo?

What surprised me the most is that a supposed broadcast professional doesn't know what it means to 'play us out.'

Just because Bush screwed the pooch in Iraq doesn't mean juxtaposing pictures of his daughter in her wedding dress with dead bodies is a good idea. Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

It implies, somehow, that Jenna shouldn't be allowed to be happy on her wedding day because her dad made a bad decision. I just found it extremely distasteful. You're obviously free to have your own opinion on it.

Crazy_horce: Bill's Producer is finally heard! Must see!

Awesome. I had not seen that yet.

what_now: Why do you think it's in poor taste?

I, being a lifelong "liberal" and an opponent of the Iraq war from day one, think it's in bad taste because there are more intelligent ways to get your point across than resorting to not-so-clever photo comparisons between two essentially unrelated events. It's almost a godwin of sorts, a "you know who else got married..." kind of tactic where an event that is in no way political is being unfairly politicized by being compared to the atrocities in Iraq; it's like if you had a picture of President Bush eating a cheeseburger for lunch and then superimposed a picture of a decimated McDonalds in Iraq with dead children scattered about, it's attempting to draw a comparison between two superficially similar situations that are at their core wholly unrelated.

In other words, it's the kind of behavior I would expect from right-wing pundits like O'Reilly, Limbaugh, or Colter and I think we only do ourselves and our ideology a disservice by lowering ourselves to that level of discourse.

lexnaturalis: It implies, somehow, that Jenna shouldn't be allowed to be happy on her wedding day because her dad made a bad decision. I just found it extremely distasteful. You're obviously free to have your own opinion on it.

Well, I think it's directed at Jenna's father. I think, and I could be wrong, that the author is furious that a man who has created such misery and fail gets to have a happy joyous occasion.

The people who pick on Jenna and Barbara Bush, and young Chelsea Clinton* are assholes. It's not their fault their dad is a terrible human being. So, in that they are attacking *her* I agree-it's in poor taste.

Now if someone had taken a picture of Jenna and her new husband and posted it next to the famous wedding picture of the Marine with the melted face, I think it would have been more effective.


*current adult Chelsea got into it on her own.

Ok. Fair enough. However, I don't think you can compare some random blogger with a paid commenter on Fox.

That may be true, but the method that was used showed a profound lack of taste. There are plenty of pictures of George Bush doing "happy" things that would be more appropriate for a composition such as that. I just think that using Jenna's wedding not only lacks efficacy but will likely do exactly the opposite of what it was intended. People are more likely to be mad at the person who did it than anything.

What exactly does "I've cancelled my subscription...I still get it at work" mean?

Did he have two subscriptions to Newsweek so that he could have reading material in both his work AND his home toilet? And he cancelled one out of anger, but really needs the short and easy-to-read articles while he takes a crap at the office so he's not prepared to cancel that subscription?

Is he 50% angry at KOS? Wouldn't the statement have more ooomph if he cancelled ALL of his subscriptions to Newsweek?



(and how here's Sting to play my post out......)

Maybe. I wouldn't have done it, I know that. But I was pretty pissed when all weekend, the media was gushing about this wedding, showing the "souvenir" coffee mugs and mouse pads, talking about her dress and flowers and the guest list.

They spent more TIME on this wedding than they did on the war. Than they ever do. And I can understand the anger that causes. Most people do not like this man; why is the media so insistent on showing us his daughter's wedding?

Oh for f*ck sake, Bill. You should have thicker skin than this. You're out-douching Olbermann. Stop it.

Regardless of whether or not you like the man, he's still President of the United States. That means the daughter of the President is getting married. It's big news, politics aside, when a head of state has a family member getting married.

burndtdan: someone should report that guy to the DHS, he's communicating with foreign terrorists and providing them with targeting information.

It just further illustrates that fundies and ignorants of both sides are exactly the same (by both sides I mean US and abroad).

/The US loves the terrorists, when they're doing what the US wants.
//Rather, the conservatives do, the libs tend to hate terrorists no matter what.

Ok, fair point. Maybe I'm just sensitive about what passes for "news" now.

BobtheFascist: Oh for f*ck sake, Bill. You should have thicker skin than this. You're out-douching Olbermann. Stop it.

People who are quick to anger, are by definition people who have a thin skin. No one can contest that O'reilly is a rage-aholic.

That's actually "entertainment news". No different than where BranJolina is adopting their next child from.
Don't feel bad. Lot's of people have trouble telling the difference.

I was just expressing disgust to my coworker this morning about that issue (specifically the top 10 popular "news" stories on CNN this morning). I agree that the wedding shouldn't have changed existing news coverage. I do, however, think it's unfair to blame Jenna for that. She purposefully chose a wedding at their private ranch instead of the White House.

Those are the kind of whack-job assholes that wind up shooting up schools and taking out presidents.

Olbermann had on a "body language expert" last night like Bill O uses to make disparaging remarks about people that fit his opinion of them. She watched the video and gave her opinion.

Hilarious ^{(^)}.

you're right, it's absolutely childish.

The wedding/Iraq photos are in bad taste.

But holy shiat that hate mail makes Freepers look sane.

Isn't the average age of O'Reilly's audience like 70 or something?

Ah, there is no hate like libtard hate.

Stay classy KOS.

vernonFL: Isn't the average age IQ of O'Reilly's audience like 70 or something?

Yes.

I dunno...I thought the bit was kinda meh.

I'm not a regular KOS reader, but it doesn't look like he was the one who did the wedding/Iraq blog. It looks like some random blogger on his site.

I'm sorry, but there's no way one can do anything to even hint at reaching the level of the douchebag universe that Bill O'Reilly lives and yells in.

Nestea Plunge: An illegal war sold on lies to the American people is in bad taste

Yes it is, it makes me angry and very sad. But that is no excuse to make fun of a young couple's wedding.

I loved the Colbert bit on this.

"fark it! I'll do it live!"

"Um, this is live".

The internet: serious business.

mediaho: What surprised me the most is that a supposed broadcast professional doesn't know what it means to 'play us out.'

What surprised me was that he went from annoying to RAGE over it in 10 seconds. I know that he's a ticked-off jerk, but geez, to get angry at that so easily? He must guzzle down blood pressure pills by the dozen.

Regardless that he is a very disliked man, he still is a big, big name out there. Its like how they cover celebrity marriages/divorces/rehab/childbirth and lthe like. People find this interesting. The news isn't news; its entertainment, pure and simple. If it was about real news, the only time then American Idol would ever be in the news is if a riot broke out or some disater, besides simply being AI, occurred.

/Started to dislike the news when they started it with the weather

Yeah, it's not like Bush was golfing or anything.

In Iraq and Afghanistan we bomb weddings.

Tip: If you ever get a fancy card that says 'Mr. and Mrs. Osama Bin Laden cordially invite you to the wedding of their daughter Fatima...

don't RSVP

At least Bill can say that he has never claimed to have a tiny tiny penis. LOL... Bill is such a douchenozzle.

Yeah, but they're terrorist weddings. That's, like, almost as bad as gay weddings!
