11/09/2003 06:03:00 PM | Brad Plumer Whiners and their whining whines... Bill O'Reilly's new beef: writers and publishers. Apparently, Terry McAuliffe and the DNC are peddling their... their... b-b-books (!) on members and contributors, and perhaps even paying people to write liberal books. O'Reilly aghast: Now the danger is that DNC Chief Terry McAuliffe is using and paying professional hit men to demean and denigrate political opponents. That's exactly what President Nixon did when he used the plumber's union to harass his opponents.Books are intimidating like plumber's unions are intimidating? Wah--? It's time to ask: when did conservatives become such ninnies? O'Reilly is fine with Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter, but when liberals start striking back he squeals out "smear book!," "smear book!" Reminds me of all that "poor Rush Limbaugh" talk. Incidentally, O'Reilly won't name a single liberal book he has a problem with. Then again, that might require him to back up his attacks. Ooh, for more sob stories, read this piece where O'Reilly complains that he's misunderstood. The poor guy can't understand why everyone calls him an ideologue. Quick hint: when you start sniveling on and on about "hurtful" liberal books-- heck, when you try to suppress "hurtful" books with frivolous law suits-- you get branded an ideologue real quick. Now stop crying. perma link |
