Our new video is kicking ass and taking names, racking up an amazing 304,520 views in under three days! (for those scoring at home, that's 95,207 more views per day than FOX Business Network has been averaging, and that's without a $130 million advertising budget).

Not only that, it racked up an impressive 25 honors on YouTube with four #1 honors -- yesterday's #1 most discussed video across all YouTube, #1 most discussed in News & Politics, #1 most viewed N&P, and #1 most linked N&P. I wasn't sure if we'd be able to displace clips of Hillary Clinton crying, but the power of Bill O'Reilly's asshattery would not be denied! Bill D, the editor of this video, also noted that you guys obviously have a lot to say about this video -- it received more comments in one day than FOX ATTACKS! Decency has received in two months, and we considered that video to be a runaway success. FA: Obama's Staffer is currently the #10 most viewed BNF video in history -- in just three days.

So thanks so much to all of you who watched the video, gave us your thoughts, and sent it to your friends and relations. And keep it up! This video has legs and is still going strong. And in case any of you are wondering:

1. Marvin Nicholson, the shoved Obama staffer, most likely knew that Obama did not have friendly relations with FOX for spreading the "madrassa" lie and continually attacking Obama's patriotism, faith, and race. He was doing his job, and we applaud him for it. If Obama is even considering going on BOR, he should only do it if BOR will apologize to Nicholson in person and on the air. BOR is such an egomaniac who thinks he's never wrong and is beyond accountability that he'll never do it.

2. The Constitution does NOT guarantee the right of pasty, pathologically lying ass clowns to "get a shot" and assault those who get in the way. Does Britney Spears' paparazzi army have the right to assault her security if they step in front of their cameras? No. If you can't get a shot, move your lazy ass.

3. O'Reilly will "defend" his warped view of the Constitution when it comes to him trying to get a shot, but won't fight against the destruction of Habeas Corpus, illegal surveillance of American citizens, "free-speech zones" at political events, secret service prohibiting non-Bush supporters from attending Bush's staged town hall meetings, torture, indefinite imprisonment without charge, the arrest of non-violent protestors, the separation of church and state, the outing of covert CIA agents, and lies about WMD and Nigerian uranium.

4. O'Reilly wouldn't know the Constitution if it shat in his mouth.

The GOP and Technology = Water and Oil
It's just awkward (and funny) to listen to Republican leaders talk about how hip they are to the tools the kids are using on the tubes.

Fox News Claims 'Magic Negro' Text Was 'Inadvertently Cleared for Air'
Fox New has a history of allowing racially-charged language aimed at Obama and his family to make it on air and then claiming it was simply a mistake

for bringing the word "asshattery" into my life. I'll use it often.

We are warned that the Swift Boaters will be on the attack again.
Aah, but their attacks will be redundant, old news because we've got the Rupert Murdoch/Roger Aiiles' circus of trained seals covering the same ground, tooting their horns, banging their little cymbals, flapping their flippers, and squeeling for blood already.
But their cretinous little comedy show is wearing very thin, even among the pinheads that frequent Fox News.
Let them spend all their advertising funds on moronic comedy and we will urinate them down the porcelain bowl in November 2008, along with those conniving morons in the White House and a goodly percentage of their Republican legislators - which is to say, the ones that are not already in prison. What with the poison in Washington and the excrement spread by Fox News, the Republicans have cemented themselves a place in political Siberia for at least a generation.
Well Done, Brave News Films and AlterNet !

To start, I am not real big on politics and really am not a political enthusiast but; "How can anyone in his/her right mind elect this man, Osama (Binladdin) Obama to represent our wonderful country if he cannot / will not even salute the flag of the United States of America, hold his hand over his heart or even recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag that represents our country, and will not represent God publicly to his country? I myself personally take this as a direct insult for what this country represents and stands for. I lost respect for this man from that point on.

You Accomplished NOTHING Why Wasn't O'Reilly Arrested for Battery?

So you announce a very smug, self serving, self-congratulatory pat on the back. Nothing was really accomplished to punish O'Reilly act of illegal battery against Obamas campaign aide.

Any form of pushing, shoving, unwanted touching legally constitutes battery. No charges were filed and O'Reilly declared he was defending his freedom of press rights by behaving like a viscious thug.

So what that your clip made some kind of You Tube viewing frenzy? It hasn't gotten O'Reilly's show cancelled. The guy is Teflon and managed to squirm his way out of a sexual harrassment lawsuit and felony charges for hundreds of obscene phone calls he made against a former female employee at Fox who was supervised by O'Reilly.

Ann Coulter, O'Reilly, Don Imus, Mike Savage, Rush Lumbaugh and all the other vitriolic, hate spewing morons will continue to breed hate speech - while you continue to revel in your sheer fabulous-ness.
