Monica Crowley: "The far left" supports Al Jazeera because it is "essentially anti-American."


O'Reilly started by showing footage of guests on Al-Jazeera making what he said were anti-Semitic and anti-American statements. He then brought on Colmes and his right-wing counterpart Monica Crowley to discuss the channel.

Crowley said that "the far left" supports Al Jazeera because it is "essentially anti-American." This outraged Colmes. "That's disgusting," he said. "That's sickening!"

O'Reilly and Colmes then started shouting at each other, with O'Reilly saying that there was no balance to what was, in his view, a constant stream of objectionable statements on Al Jazeera.

"i'm getting a little mad at you," he said to Colmes, his voice rising. "Grasp this. There's no counter on it! Got it? There's no counter on it!"

8. What was the basis of Ms. Crowley's opinion?
Did she cite anyone on the far left? I suspect she did no such thing. I hope that she was at least standing up when she pulled that statement out of her ass.

11. I think the left
meaning anyone in the center out is the far left to them. Some news channels, comedy shows and radio stations have had on reports from that station to talk about the middle east from time to time. In most peoples minds that's not the same thing as supporting every thing on that one station. But most people are smarter than Crowley. You know those far lefty's have fox news people on from time to time so I guess we draw our Crowley conclusion that they support radical right wing agendas too. Jon Stewart had Bill-O on his show, thus J Stew must support bombing abortion clinics. Once you see how the logic works, you see it's a really stupid point and Crowley's opinion is not interesting at all.

9. Not really but we love people who expose
hypocrisy. The far right across the globe talks about democracy but have destroyed most of its fundamental characteristics.

The fascists have been exposed are are parading for the world naked.

13. Why America allows a terrorist organization to run a TVEE outlet
I'll never understand. They already tried to have one of their sheeple kill a Dem and send countless death threats to others. I guess the assholes at Fox won't be happy until Gush Limpballs dream about liberals comes true. Good to see Colmes getting mad! BOUT FUCKING TIME! All those fluffjobs with Hannity...pathetic.

Fox needs to be banned from the news business. Period.
