Paul Levinson vs. Bill O'Reilly about the New York Times

I'm usually a critic of The New York Times and its arrogance ("all the news that's fit to print"? - hardly - more like "all the news that we deem fit to print" ... but in this clip I take issue with Bill O'Reilly's claim that the New York Times, and the LA Times, as well, are out to get him...

this guy made bill look as stupid and insecure as he really is.

[tangofdoom]

good god is o'reilly awful or what. he never defends his stances on anything, he just repeats his opinion over and over and louder and louder. on the off chance that he does use a quote, it's almost always taken out of context. he seems to forget what kind of show he puts on when he tries to criticize other forms of media.

I gave up beating your gory pulp of an argument when you admitted all you had in mind was "social boycott." Well, we all counter treason in some way, but I suppose if that is your choice I have no problem. Since then I've just been enjoying your company. Upsetting people make me feel better about my own shallow self-image.

I suppose you have a problem with "street" music too. You're a catch.

[countertreason]

OK, OK, I see. You have given up. Nothing you say even makes sense now, it sound like rap.

"Mothafucka, I dismantled every one of your positions and delusions, and now you're left with unhinged projection, sucka."

You are so stupid, its embarassing.

[MEpianist]

I'm seeing someone employ that tactic right now.

Again more verbal masturbation from the homophobe faction. I dismantled every one of your positions and delusions, and now you're left with unhinged projection.

Like I said, as long as you keep your silly opinions to your unfortunate surroundings, we have no problem. Just don't think your morals mean shit to the silent majority to honest working people.

[countertreason]

"No, you are."

Good response, moron. As well, you know no one, because nobody likes you. Your eschew low self esteem and shame. You cling to your pop psychology and talk projection because you don't know much, so you can't tell me my actual faults. But as I hammer on yours you need a response, so you say, what amounts to 'no, you are.' Projection. You are a real idiot. Trying to take what I have said and turn it around on me. I hope one day you see someone employing this tactic and feel ashamed.

[MEpianist]

Haha, thought you might be upset, it's a shame you can't admit it though.

This projection of yours is becoming a problem, as well as your petty xenophobia. I know a lot of Canadians, and somehow you're the first I've come across that puts the typical Yank to shame, долбоёб сраный.

[countertreason]

Wow, pop psychology! YOU KNOW PROJECTION!

You are an idiot. Its raison, by the way. Parle-tu francais? Une autre langue? Non? Just English eh... Unilingual, vague understanding of pop psychology. Haha, constant associations to large American iconic figures... even constant reference to freedom...

BY GOD MAN! You are a typical ignorant American! The ones that give the good, honest Yanks a bad name!

Congrats, fag.

[MEpianist]

Again more projection from the transparent dunce.

I'm glad you've backed down and admitted that all you will ever really every accomplish is having your private opinions and keeping them to your little circle of unfortunates. It doesn't make me happy to destroy you like this but it is necessary, because once in a while the Falwells among you get the idea that you can start forcing free-thinking citizens such as myself to fall back into line. This is my raisin d'etre here.

[countertreason]

You are upset. Just that you are a liar who can't admit it. It doesn't make you less of a man... it makes you who you truly are, less of a man than the average man.

Quote me talking legislation, dummy. You are getting heavy into the lying now. You are realizing you are wrong. Just not consciously.

I am as qualified to argue morality as any other. That is freedom of expression. Censoring others through social boycott is not only legal, but common and necessary. I try to promote that.

[MEpianist]

Upset? No, amused, but thank you for tipping your hand on your own mental state. .

It's not that I think bad morals must be promoted. I just dispute your judgment: I don't think you are qualified to enforce your morality on us, like Tim McVeigh and the filthy Falwell (now a corpse, praise Jebus)... I dispute your qualifications and sanity.

Legislating morality has tradition, from Adams' Sedition acts to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." A history of failure which you idiots haven't learned from.
