Bill O'Reilly is swimming in a quicksand of his own making. And like a petulant teenager he is blaming everyone but himself. Forget for a moment that every word he has ever spoken has been recorded in one format or another, eliminating any notion of credible deniability. It is beginning more and more to sound like a case of "The Devil made me do it." And that "Devil" has been unmasked as the "Far Left."
What Far Left?
America, without a doubt, has a Far Right, and even an Ultra-Far-Right. So profound is the desire for Right-Wing credentials these days, a new kind of centrifugal force has been discovered. And as predicted in the brilliant "What's the Matter With Kansas," Right-Wingers are beginning to cannibalize their slightly less-rabid comrades.
But where is the Far Left?
Could they be referring to Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a self-identified Socialist? Or perhaps Rep. Barbara Lee? Surely they can't be thinking of Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. Code Pink maybe? Or how about those "Secular Liberals," you know, the ones that control the banks, Hollywood, and most of academia. It must be those vocal advocates of "Single Payer." Wait, wait; don't tell me - its the New Black Panthers. You see, given enough darts, even a Democrat can hit the bulls-eye once in a while. The truth is that there is no Far Left as Bill O'Reilly claims as his tormentors.
Either O'Reilly needs to come clean or find a different. less-laughable Red Herring on which to blame his current misfortunes.
