Why are the Police Protecting Big Money from Public Scrutiny in Denver?
Jane Hamsher Firedoglake
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.
