Bill O'Reilly Blasts 'Hypocrite' Al Gore For Trying To Settle "Current TV" Sale Before Taxes Went Up

Bill O'Reilly had some harsh words for Al Gore tonight over his sale of Current TV to Al Jazeera. O'Reilly took issue with Gore's hypocrisy in trying to finalize the sale before the fiscal cliff deadline this past Monday night to avoid paying higher taxes, as well as doing a deal with "anti-Americans" at Al Jazeera. O'Reilly declared that Gore has "shamed himself" with the deal.O'Reilly highlighted Gore's hypocrisy on taxes by bringing up video of Gore saying two months ago that he believes rich people such as himself need to "do our fair share."

O'Reilly then set his sights on Al Jazeera, a network he declared to be run by "anti-Americans" and even sympathetic to Osama bin Laden. By making a deal with Al Jazeera, O'Reilly said, Gore has "shamed himself." O'Reilly made it clear he would not want Al Jazeera to be censored, but said the whole deal is "sleazy" and "disgraceful."

O'Reilly did allow for the possibility that the reports of Gore trying to avoid higher taxes were incorrect, inviting Gore onto his show to explain. But O'Reilly doubted Gore would accept the invitation, saying unequivocally that "we have problems with hypocrites in the No Spin Zone."
