No one

Why whenever Bill O'Idiot is interviewed and just so obviously lies but no one EVER calls him on it? For instance I saw O'Idiot on the Today show he repeats his claim he NEVER attacks or smears anyone. Thanks to my friends at mediamaters I'd like to prove otherwise:

* Referring to media writer and Fox News Watch panelist Neal Gabler as a "rabid dog" and calling him a "bomb-thrower" and a "left-wing Kool-Aid drinker." O'Reilly also stated: "If a teacher ever went in there [to a classroom] and said, 'Adam and Eve is real,' Neal Gabler would have a noose around his [the teacher's] neck."

* Comparing liberal radio host and author Al Franken and "assassins" on the "Internet" and "cable television" to a New York City radio disc jockey who threatened "to do an R. Kelly" on the four-year-old daughter of a rival station's announcer.

* Stating of Jeremy Glick, an O'Reilly factor guest whose father was killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and who opposed the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan: "If I could have whacked him, I would have."

* Calling liberal radio network Air America "[d]isgusting" and "despicable."

* Stating that if he were President Bush, he "would have laid ... out" veteran White House journalist Helen Thomas after she pressed President Bush on his reasons for invading Iraq.

* Calling former Public Broadcasting Service host Bill Moyers a "totalitarian" and a "secular, far-left fanatic."

* Calling students at the University of Connecticut who heckled Coulter during a campus appearance "far-left Nazis."

* Calling Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) a "left-wing nut."

* Stating of New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, "How nuts is this guy?"

* Stating that O'Reilly Factor guest Christopher Murray "sounds like a fascist" for saying that that public institutions should not display religious symbols.

* Calling former Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader a "loon."

* Describing former president Jimmy Carter as "clueless" and "a fool."

* Saying of Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), "He's a sissy."

* Calling Dallas Morning News columnist Macarena Hernandez "incompetent" and a "Latina ideologue."

* Telling Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, "You know I love you as a guest. You're one of the best. You're a paranoid crazy."

* Calling Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) a "nut" for introducing legislation to equip commercial aircraft with anti-missile systems to repel attacks from surface-to-air missiles; on his TV program. (O'Reilly later falsely denied that he'd made the remark, and subsequently claimed he "forgot" he had done so.)

So you tell me are those personal attacks?
