Bill O'Reilly Joins al-Qaeda
The Falafel King provided terrorists with potential targets on his radio show last week. In response to a vote by the people of San Francisco, O'Reilly said that if anyone wanted to blow up Coit Tower, go ahead.
Provided by MSNBC:
"Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead," O'Reilly said, according to a transcript and audio posted by liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America, and by the San Francisco Chronicle.
"And if al-Qaida comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead," O'Reilly continued, referring to the 1933 San Francisco landmark that sits atop Telegraph Hill.
Adding to the buzz was the archived version of O'Reilly's Tuesday show, which omitted the incendiary comments, according to Bay Area TV station KNTV.
Perhaps O'Reilly would like to hand over the blueprints as well as the security detail while he's at it.
But this disgusting episode does have one gem in it:
City officials were not amused. "It sounds like he's on the same medication Rush Limbaugh is addicted to, and he should go see a therapist,'' Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin, whose district includes the tower, told the Chronicle.
Thank you Aaron Peskin for providing us with the Quote of the Month!
He'll have what Rush is having.
Meanwhile, like with Dr. Robertson, people still listen to the Falafel King. Further in response to the vote, which suggested that San Franciscan public high schools not allow the military to recruit in the schools, comes this fun excerpt:
As for the ballot measure, which urged local high schools and colleges to bar military recruiters from their campuses, it passed with 60 percent of San Franciscans in favor of it.
The radio show was not the only time O'Reilly commented on the ballot proposition. On his Monday night "O'Reilly Factor," he tangled with Angela Alioto, the former president of the city's Board of Supervisors.
"Why should the rest of the country protect your butt, with all due respect, OK, when it comes to the war on terror, if San Francisco is going to thumb your nose and give the big digit to the military? Why should ... why should we protect you from al-Qaida and terrorists if you're going to disrespect the military, by passing this ... even though it's symbolic ... this resolution?" he asked Alioto.
Alioto briefly tripped up O'Reilly during her appearance, pointing out that he had conflated the military-recruitment measure with another measure to ban handguns. That measure also passed, 58 percent to 42 percent.
(Warning: In case you don't like it, there will be two instances of the f-word coming up)
Nobody should trust O'Reilly's "big digit" after the settlement with the sexual harassment case last year. Furthermore, lashing out by saying that we shouldn't defend our citizens is not the way to go. How would he react if someone else called for the same thing?
So, I'd like to give some advice to the Falafel King, if I could:
Or perhaps California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger should stand up for his citizens and give a message to the Falafel King:
Drivel from people like O'Reilly can be entertaining. Then you remember they're serious.
