Is there any major figure in the mainstream media more obdurately un-self-aware -- and resultingly, hilariously hypocritical -- than Bill O'Reilly?

O'Reilly: Robust debate is vital to America. It can put complicated issues in focus, sometimes expose the charlatans. Stating your case with strength and dignity is the sign of a patriot. But in today's political landscape, ridicule is on the rise. And both the left and the right are using it.

O'Reilly then plays a series of clips of derisive rhetoric from David Shuster, Michael Savage, Lou Dobbs, Ann Coulter, James Carville, and Michael Musto. Now, you'll notice that this list equally of right-wing and non-right-wing (which to wingnuts equals "liberal") figures. But then O'Reilly launches into a tirade about how this is largely a problem for the "liberal" media, particularly NBC -- which he says began "peddling the politics of hate a couple of years ago."
