O'Reilly Versus Stark, Bill Raises The Stakes

The feud between propagandist and wingnut extraordinaire Bill O'Reilly and blogger Mike Stark has been going on for quite sometime now. Stark calls in to Bill's radio show (among other wingnuts) to make a mockery of what Bill O represents. I must say that Stark excels at what he does.

In August O'Reilly sent a minion after the CEO of JetBlue at his home for sponsoring YearlyKos, so Stark went one for one and went to Bill's home over in Long Island. Stark told O'Reilly's neighbors about the sexual harassment lawsuit that Bill settled for millions with an ex-producer of his show. Now O'Reilly is trying to hit Mike personally, by expressing grievances with the dean of Stark's law school in Virginia.

From RawStory:

The letter to Stark's dean claims his actions "may constitute criminal harassment" under New York law, and it warns that a civil lawsuit could be headed Stark's way, he told RAW STORY.

While he acknowledges that some may take issue with his tactics, Stark said the letter was more about damaging his personal reputation than raising any serious legal concerns. He has followed up with a letter to Fox News CEO Roger Ailes requesting an apology "for the attempt to harass and intimidate me at my school place," but he's received no response from Fox.

"Ms. Brandi’s false and malicious assertions have the potential to redound to Fox’s negative benefit," Stark wrote to the network chief, "and Mr. O’Reilly’s bizarre abuse of the legal process reflects poorly upon the Fox News brand."

Oh Mike, that brand is long past saving. Don't hold your breath for any sort of an apology from Ailes or anyone else at Fox News.

Nothing Special about the KSFO Special Broadcast

Personally I couldn't stomach hearing those voices of hate. Morgan, Sussman, et al. are acting like five year olds that are covering their tracks after raiding the cookie jar. The honorable DailyKos blogger abbaanthony managed to listen to an hour of their obfuscations and lies before bowing out. See his take on the broadcast here.

KSFO could not tell the truth if their lives depended on it.

They spent nearly ten minutes talking about how they support Muslims who are Americans and who are trying to build up America and not working to destroy our country. But then they went out of their way to stress that Rep. Ellison was appointed by the House leadership as chairman of the Judiciary Committee. They said that they have lost any confidence in the House because they appointed a Muslim to that post. Let me be clear, they believe it is ok for Muslims to live here, just as long as they do not attempt to enter public life in any noticeable way. Because in reality, they believe there are no true American-Muslims they all want to bring down the country. What bigots!

The opening paragraph really shows what they are all about. There is a better chance that hell will freeze over than the kooks on KSFO become honest and dignified. Of course I didn't expect anything to come from this special broadcast. Like any right-wing station, it was merely a ratings gimmick and a chance to pacify the general public so that the hate and vitriol can continue.

Thanks again to Spocko and Stark for helping to make this big news outside of the blogs. People need to know what rightwing radio hosts are all about.
