Blacklist Me Mr. O\’Reilly!

Our good old wacky right-wing nut job pal, Bill O’Reilly, in a recent rant on his National Radio Show, apparently invited Al Qaeda to attack San Francisco.

In a response to the city by the bay’s passing of a ballot measure which prohibited Armed Services recruiters from entering public schools, the right-wing pundit said “[I]f Al Qaeda 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.”

The clip was then censored from the transcript and delayed broadcasts. The O’Reilly team apparently tried to sweep the whole thing under the rug. Lucky for him, the major media is in the hands of the corporations who think along the same lines as his distorted views, as the story had no traction in the major media. If a Lefty had said anything in the same vain, they would have been stoned to death by the right leaning media.

However, a few outlets, such as MSNBC, did report the story.

O’Reilly then promised to target and even blacklist those that reported the story. No comment on whether O’Reilly still believes in freedom or democracy. Although, Mr. O’Reilly has recently said “Let’s start holding dishonest media people responsible.”

For once, he said something I can agree with.

Arianna Huffington, over at Huffington Post, has started a new campaign to get as many people to sign his blacklist as possible. She says she will personally present the list to the “King of Distortion” in the coming months.

I know I’m not afraid of this wily fascist. I mean, come on! Think about it, he puts his foot in his mouth on live radio, realizes he screwed up, tries to erase the damage and then blacklists everyone that reported the story. What a crybaby!
