The No Truth Zone

So, host of "The Factor" Mr. William Jefferson O'Reilly III made yet another boneheaded, ridiculous comment the other day, which Media Matters has thankfully brought to my attention. Here's the O'Reilly quote:

In response to reports that actor and comedian Chevy Chase called President Bush a "dumb f---" while co-hosting a December 14 People For the American Way awards ceremony in Washington, DC, FOX News host Bill O'Reilly asserted on the December 16 O'Reilly Factor that "you don't see this kind of thing on the right." He added: "You don’t see prominent conservatives cursing out Democratic members of Congress, for example."

Except you totally freaking do?

Or does everyone forget Dick Cheney telling Patrick Leahy to "go fuck himself"? And Bush calling a reporter from the New York Times an "asshole" during the 2000 campaign. The fact of the matter is, everyone swears, and we should stop making a big deal about it on either side.

So, once again, shut the hell up, O'Reilly!

You would think that, with the guy running his mouth for hours every day on television and the radio, he'd eventually stumble upon a rational, well-reasoned argument purely by chance. But, thus far, it hasn't happened. I'll keep you posted.
