Trick or Treat for Stalin

Or, "Come Mr. Tally Man Tally Me Falafel." O'Reilly would call Mother Theresa a slut if she criticized Dubya. From Media Matters:

From the January 9 edition of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:

O'REILLY: Now, you know -- I mean, who cares what he says really. Who cares? Nobody cares about Harry Belafonte here in the U.S.A. I mean he's a -- he's a caricature. The only people who care about Harry Belafonte are the AARP [American Association of Retired Persons], which awarded him one of their men of the year honors this year.

HILL: But he's -- he's -- isn't he the UNICEF spokesperson also?

O'REILLY: Yeah, but that's the U.N.

HILL: Well.

O'REILLY: You know, look -- well, look, let me -- if Joseph Stalin was still alive, he'd be the UNICEF spokesperson. OK. So we don't worry about the U.N. We don't worry about, you know, Harry Belafonte himself. The AARP, I mean, I think, they got some problems. You know, I mean, if this is the poster boy for man of the year, AARP, you got a little -- as Ricky Ricardo once said, "a little splainin' to do."
