O’Reilly Rips ‘Pathetic Ideological Loons’ at MSNBC for Ebola ‘Racism’ Attacks
Mediaite ^ | October 17, 2014 | Josh Feldman

Bill O’Reilly spent a significant part of his first segment tonight decrying the “racism” accusations being thrown by some MSNBC commentators amidst nationwide Ebola panic. O’Reilly did not directly call out MSNBC in his Talking Points Memo, but it was very clearly aimed at them, since he had teased the segment with a clip of Alex Wagner saying some Republican comments on Ebola, including calling for a travel ban is “not even thinly-veiled racism.”

And that wasn’t the first time someone on MSNBC had invoked racism in talking about a travel ban; a guest on Melissa Harris-Perry‘s show did so earlier this month. O’Reilly went off on the liberal “grievance industry” on racism before going after MSNBC, dismissing them as “pathetic ideological loons who could not care less about attacking the folks.”

O’Reilly continued the conversation with Howard Kurtz, and they ended up tussling a bit over O’Reilly wanting the head of the CDC to resign.

In fairness, that’s part of the MSNBC job description isn’t it?

Can;t stand Howard Kurtz or that he wastes my time on the FoxNEws Channel.

I donlt care about the liberal point of view. They own every other netwaork.

Why do they have pollute Foxnews?

Never having to see or hear Kurtz, Juan Williams, James Carville, Alan Colmes,the guy who works for the Washington Post,and other Leftie toads would make life better.

Even Kirsten Powers, while easy on the eyes, is a Obamaoid that grates on my nerves.

A travel ban would interfere with Obama’s plans to bring infected foreigners here for treatment.

She’s not that easy on the eyes.

Add in that leftist toad Ron Fournier and Mara Liasson.

Correction

A travel ban would interfere with Obama’s plan to spread the infection in the United States.

It would also suggest that borders can serve a purpose, and we can’t have that.

It has become the ‘Turd Blossom Channel’ with smatterings of Shemp Smith hysteria.

Well, he is describing Obama, his wife, his associates and the former Bloomberg servant who is the head of the CDC. Yes Tom Frieden is anot Alinskyite Community organizer like his puppeteer.

After Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches being labeled racist, anything and everything is fair game.

What’s next? Black licorice or marbles?

Powers has that possum in the headlights expression trying to defend the indefensible.

What????

Bob Beckel would be #1 I would like to see gone. Gone is not strong enough. Deceased would be preferred. I'm still PO’d that Eric Bolling Heimlicked him.
