Bill O'Reilly tries to link Phil Donahue to Barack Obama, via George Soros and MoveOn.org!

It's a long title for a post, but the latest column from Fox News Channel's bloviator-in-chief Bill O'Reilly is perfectly summed up by that title.

Bill O'Reilly is basically criticising Phil Donahue for being the producer and director of a film currently on limited release in the US, called "Body Of War". He remembers facing off against Phil on ABC News Good Morning America back in late 2001.

"...Back then, Donahue was routed by public opinion and retreated to his compound in Connecticut to lick his wounds. But after a period of quiet, the left-wing zealot is re-energized by the mismanaged Iraq war. To paraphrase Austin Powers: Phil has his mojo back.

Now, what Phil Donahue thinks is not important in the grand scheme, but what Barack Obama thinks is, and there may be some intersection here..."

Now those paragraphs above are the first set of key paragraphs in his column. He tries to link Phil Donahue to Barack Obama, and a rather shabby attempt it is too.

But wait, the shabbyness doesn't end there...

"...Recently, a far-left radio guy called John McCain a "warmonger" at a Democratic event in North Dakota. The senator was on the scene, but did not make a comment.

Since Senator McCain immediately chastised a far-right talk show host who insulted Obama at a McCain event, some believe Obama might have been smart to return the favor.

But, again, he did not..."

Perhaps he felt that to chastise the 'far-left radio guy' would have been giving him more creedence than he deserved. Without hearing it first hand, it's difficult to know or even guess what would have been going through Obama's head at that time. Never stops a conservative from trying though!

But even now, he is not done, cos then he tries to go even further and link both Donahue and Obama to George Soros and MoveOn.org, who O'Reilly claims are financially linked.

"...I believe the reason Senator Obama avoids criticizing the far-left is because he needs it. Phil Donahue's strongest ally in denouncing the U.S. action in Afghanistan was MoveOn.org, the organization that is now helping Barack Obama raise records amounts of campaign money.

MoveOn, of course, has received millions from far-left billionaire George Soros, who is a huge supporter of a "one world" foreign policy that demands the USA seek world approval before any aggressive action against another country.

It would be unfair to link Barack Obama's foreign policy vision to that of Donahue and Soros because we simply don't know what the Senator's overall world view is..."

It has been said many times before but I'll say it again. George Soros does not directly fund MoveOn.org. Bill O, your own graphic which you put up on the Factor some time ago, to try and claim that he did proved conclusively that he did not directly fund MoveOn.org. Yet you continue to vent this spiel as though it is fact. The TruthSeeker has caught you out!

Note that last quoted paragraph there. The whole of the article before then is spent linking Obama with Donahue, Soros and MoveOn.org, then says it would be unfair to do so. Pure hypocritical, fraudulent, schmuck!
