O'Lielly: If Al-Qaeda blows up San Francisco...so what?
Criticizing a ballot measure passed by 60 percent of San Francisco voters urging public high schools and colleges to prohibit on-campus military recruiting, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly declared on the November 8 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, "If 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."

From the November 8 broadcast of Fox News' The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:

O'REILLY: Hey, you know, if you want to ban military recruiting, fine, but I'm not going to give you another nickel of federal money. You know, if I'm the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, "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."

And if 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. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.

1. Isn't exhorting an act of terrorism a crime these days?
And can't he be thrown in jail forever for it?

There would be very little National Guard there
thanks to Dubya... how is an on-campus recruiting station going to help? What a moran. You can tell when the straws are getting thinner and thinner when the rhetoric gets dummer and dummer.

There's a 101 better uses for O'liely than having him spew propaganda and betray Americans.

31. He once claimed he was in combat. Like people could assume he was in the
military. He wasn't. He was a reporter stationed in Buenos Aires.

Edited on Thu Nov-10-05 02:06 PM by shance
and Donald Rumsfeld, PNAC are ones who would be suspect than anyone.

They have had California in their sights for a while.

New Orleans was a trial run.

Wake up America.

11. please
You know, if I'm the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, "Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds.


Hehe please George take this advice. Please try to have a fake presidential talk in union square. I want to see you at 20 % before 2006.

41. Let O'Reilly do the speech he wants to do
There will be endless chances for Bush to screw up in public, directly proportional to the number of times he opens his idiot mouth.

No, please, let O'Reilly go to Union Square to make the speech. Better yet, let him take his show just a few blocks west, to about 7th and Market. Will CSPAN show the Bill O'Reilly Threatens San Francisco speech live? It would be worth pay-per-view prices.

14. I wonder if Malkin will run a story about the "unhinged" O'lielly? :D
Man what a freak O'Lielly is...

Do you realize how much he would rail against any liberal that said something like that?

Remember though. O'Lielly claims he is a middle of the road independant.

LOL

15. Hey Bill, can we get that in writing from the Bushistas?

If we don't get another dime of Federal money, doesn't that also mean
that we don't have to pay any federal taxes? That's a win for us,
big time!

Please, please please... can we be our own country? And can we take
the blue states with us??? Pretty please? We are tired of you
morons trying to legislate our morality and spending money on military
adventures that we do not (and never did) agree with.

Oh, btw, we are keeping the military we paid for, for our OWN self
defense, mostly from you idiots.

19. I'd be interested in reviewing O'Reilly's remarks...
...immediately after 9/11, and then contrasting them to this comment. What makes San Francisco different from New York? To me it's another exposure of the hypocrisy and cynicism that masquerade for compassion and patriotism among many on the Right. That's what outrages me.

Oddly, I bet that if Colbert even said this satirically, he'd get more flack for it than O'Reilly will or has.

39. SF probably pays more to the feds than you get back
Maybe all of California could secede. You'd probably do better on your own.

25. Ratings down much, Billdo? FCC has jurisdiction over radio. Hmn...
Encouraging terrorism against an American city is less offensive than the legendary 7 dirty words? I think not. At least Billdo knows that Coit Tower and Union Square are in SF. (This is the guy who claims to have been a school teacher, but apparently thought the Donner Party saga happened in Colorado.)

And Billdo works in NYC. He should know better. Oh yeah, this is the guy that yelled at and threatened physical violence against the son of a Sept 11 victim and lied about it. A class act.

By the way, Billdo's radio show is carried on KNEW 910 in San Francisco. Keep those cards and letters coming, folks. Also falafels and loofahs. (Batteries not included.)

Oh and right now, secession for all of CA sounds good. If recollection serves, we provide more tax dollars to the Fed gov't than we receive. With no war or red states to support, we'd manage somehow.

33. What a pack of f*cking crybabies!
First Pat Robertson's statement to the residents of Dover, PA, and now O'Reilly's comment to San Francisco.

What is this? Can't get your way so you whine and cry about it and make such utterly childish statements ("You'll see! You'll be sorry!!!"). My 2nd-grade son has a better grip on life than these two Bozos.

God damned sycophant, performing fellatio on his boss Murdoch, no self respecting woman can even stand to talk to him on the phone that he is now reduced to spending 100 grand a month on the 900 lines. Even then those women had to get drugs from Limbaugh just to tolerate O'Fuckies rants about shoving various things up his own ass. This motherfucker is so high strung that a cat on a caffeine binge seems calm by comparison(believe me, I seen a cat on a caffeine binge!). When he blows his top, that big vein throbs so hard that I wonder when he will give himself a fucking stroke, one can only hope.

Just imagine the foaming shrieking hissy fits to end all hissy fits if a "lefty" declared, "Go ahead, AQ, blow up the White House."

Remember what happened to that poor professor who said something about it being a good thing when the Pentagon was hit on 9/11? It ended his career, I think.
