On Thursday night, conservative radio host Mark Levin attacked Fox News host Bill O’Reilly and the “has-beens” at CNN for their “hit” on Rep. Michele Bachmann after she was caught racing away from a CNN reporter confronting her over factually inaccurate claims about the president’s “lavish” White House living.
On Tuesday, CNN reporter Dana Bash attempted to confront Bachmann over her claims that the president has an extraordinarily luxurious lifestyle, but was famously met with deflection and a race away from the camera. On The O’Reilly Factor last night, the eponymous Fox host criticized Bachmann for her “trivial attacks on President Obama [that] are obscuring serious problems in this country,” emphasizing that the congresswoman’s “small ball” behavior “trivializes” the real issues at hand.
“Why is Bill O’Reilly doing a hit on Michele Bachmann the way he did a hit on Sarah Palin the other day?” Levin asked before mimicked the host by mock-asking questions about how many chefs were on Air Force One.
“‘Have conservatives hurt themselves over criticizing Obama over crazy stuff?’ What kind of question is that on Fox?” an exasperated Levin asked. “Isn’t it enough we’ve got MSLSD to contend with, and CNN to contend with? What are all these little cheap shots?”

Blew your cover, huh?
Bachman is right on WRT vaccines, and most everything else.
I disagree with O’Really that the charges are “trivial”.
Obama asks Americans to sacrifice while he lives it up and plays golf. Nothing wrong with living it up and playing golf but don’t be a damn hypocrite about it.
Yeah, I’ve been undercover here for 13 years.
Means nothing.
Bobj was on FR in the early summer of ‘97 and still turned troll just a while back.
Agree! Or, at least move his radio show up to Hannity's timeslot. What a one-two punch a Rush/Levin line up would be :)
Wow do you keep a log? What’s next? You out me to the Robinsons?? You should change your handle to gatekeeper.
You should change your habits to Truth Keeper.
Everything that’s wrong with O’Reilly in one story.
The real story isn’t Bachmann getting details right or wrong. The real story is a blatant example of the media ferociously attacking critics of the ruling regime—which is exactly the opposite of the alleged duty of the press in a free society.
“The real story isn’t Bachmann getting details right or wrong. The real story is a blatant example of the media ferociously attacking critics of the ruling regime”
No, it’s both. But when Bachmann lies, and runs away from those lies rather than face the press, it harms her credibility when she goes after the legitimate outrages of the regime.
Bachmann is Obamaa’s useful idiot, great for stirring up people who already hate Obama but turning the mushy middle (where elections are won) away from the GOP by making him somehow seem more reasonable.
