Bill O'Reilly attacks Al Gore, likens Netroots Nation to "a Klan gathering"

One day we're Nazis, another day we're the Ku Klux Klan, another day we're devil worshippers, or just plain old Fascists. Bill O'Reilly never seems to stop recycling hateful, utterly false and insulting ways to describe us:

On his radio show today, O’Reilly claimed that Gore was now associating himself with the most “hateful group in the country.” “And I’m including the Nazis and the Klan in here,” said O’Reilly.”

He then claimed that attending Netroots Nation was “the same as if he stepped into the Klan gathering”:

O’REILLY: Al Gore now is done. He’s done. Ok. He is not a man of respect, he doesn’t have any judgment. The fact that he went to this thing is the same as if he stepped into the Klan gathering. It’s the same. No difference. None. K, he loses all credibility with me. All credibility.

What, Al Gore wasn't "done" before this? Seriously? I would have thought his condemnation of the Iraq invasion from the very beginning would have finished him and destroyed all of his credibility in O'Reilly's view.

Incidentally, Bill's sentence "He is not a man of respect, he doesn’t have any judgment" is laugh-out loud funny in light of this profane O'Reilly outburst.
