My guess is that UPS has a case in court right now based on this video. I hope they pursue it.

1. Some context?
I have little doubt that O'Reilly is twisting the facts beyond recognition, but what is the true story here? Some context would be helpful.

2. There is a long convoluted story behind this (with o'Liely, isn't it always?)
I dont' feel like I fully understand the history in full. But, I will echo your request for someone who has closely followed this saga to post a synopsis.

3. A campaign asking O`Lielly sponsors if they endorse his message...
Has resulted in UPS pulling out as a sponsor. O`Lielly HATES it when he loses.

9. You are so right about this Jerk!
He's paranoid and it's showing. KO made fun of him by announcing UPS decision to stop advertising during his show. Let's keep up the assault on this buffoon and Fox Noise. The far left, as he calls us, controls the bloggusphere and they're nothing he nor the right wing media can do about it. Charge!!!!

4. O'Reilly sent his goon squad after the Think Progress editor
after Think Progress attacked O'Reilly for "blaming the victim" of a rape.

O'Reilly and his goons accused the editor of attacking the victim and the charity.

Think Progress alerted O'Reilly sponsors to their "stalking" tactics used.

UPS pulled its sponsorship.

8. We should all send teabags (via UPS) to the Fox Network LMAO

Except why waste a perfectly good cup of tea on a perfectly useless network.
