On “The O’Reilly Factor” Tuesday, the conservative host evoked the name of Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.), who in the 1950s fueled paranoia that liberal people, in particular Hollywood types, were communists out to subvert the United States. That led to a show business blacklist “where people were not hired because McCarthy smeared them,” O’Reilly said.

Fast forward to the upcoming inauguration, which at the moment features such low-wattage acts as Jackie Evancho from “America’s Got Talent” and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. (A fellow mormon launched a petition imploring them not to appear at the Jan. 20 event and one choir member resigned in protest against the president-elect.)

“The harsh truth is that there is reverse McCarthyism going on in the entertainment industry,” O’Reilly said.

Then, the pinhead has the nerve to say this:
"Man won the election. Give him a chance. Respect the process and stop the nonsense."

Where was that sentiment 8 years ago, I wonder...

Sorry if this was posted elsewhere; I'm new.

1. Perhaps he should get his buddy

Angie Harmon to attend

3. Right? There are known conservative celebrities. Where are they now?

They couldn't find an empty chair for Clint Eastwood to berate? What, Kid Rock has other plans? Couldn't get Meatloaf on the line?

When affable and celebrated country star Garth Brooks won't perform at your Republican presidential inauguration, there's something rotten with the person involved, not the politics. Trump wants a mainstream act for his fringe party. That he can't get anyone to say yes is on him.

2. I think it bothers the hell

out of republicans that I know that the lions share of those into the arts lean left. I always remind them if a celebrity they like is liberal.

4. Oh fuck. Does that mean another shitty ass half baked book "Killing McCarthy"? nt

[progressoid]

7. Ugh. My brother actually read a couple of those books.

My opinion of him dropped dramatically when I found out.

8. My godparents whom I love dearly have sadly been drinking the Kool Aid since Reagan. They think

this prick's the greatest.

13. My brother was always a little right of center but I thought he at least had some taste.

I read about a chapter of the Killing Jesus book. Boooooring. It's like it was written for Jr. High kids.

14. That's because intellectually he's at that level. not sure if you ever saw this one:

16. I'm waiting for the one title "Killing Bill O'Reilly"

Literally

5. There is no such thing as "reverse" anything. Other than meaning to back up.

The is no reverse racism. Just racism. There is no reverse fascism. Just fascism.

6. Welcome to DU.

You're off to a good start.

11. Thanks!

9. We have been trying to reverse McCarthyism for 50 years.

But people like Oh, Really? keep giving it CPR.

[gratuitous]

10. Wait; I thought Trump didn't want any of those poopyhead A list celebrities

Are we back again to O'Reilly and the rest of the mouthpieces wishing that people liked Donny Littlehands? They don't seem to know what they want from day to day.

12. Welcome to DU!

O'Reilly is a partisan hack who thinks he can pass as a "right-down-the-middle" straight shooter. Not even his fans are buying his act any more.

15. He lost by 2.9 million votes, asshole

The only people that elected Trump are the electoral college. And that's not even going into the voters that were purged by Crosscheck.

In other words, fuck off.

17. Go suck a luffa, O'Reilly. (nt)
