Bill O'Reilly's torrent of attacks upon Rosie O'Donnell, Charlie
Sheen and Mark Cuban over the past few days in regards to their
outspoken views on 9/11 is a prime example of why the First Amendment
should never be presided over by those in power.
In what has been described by many as a
crude attempt to piggyback on the spiking of viewers to
O'Donnell's show The View, O'Reilly has gone on the extreme
offensive, suggesting that O'Donnell has "crossed
a line" and should reprimanded for being a "hater".
In two separate broadcasts on Fox News yesterday
O'Reilly mentioned the word "hate" close to
one hundred times when talking about O'Donnell. Here are
a few samples:
Under the graphic Helping the enemy
- "Americans Always turn away from haters, that's
exactly what Ms. O'Donnell has become."
In segment with Michelle Malkin - "You
go over a certain line in America, you can't come back
from it, you start to sympathize with the enemy, Iran,
there's no coming back."
"She's not interested in the truth, this is
about hatred and that's why I think Disney's got a big problem
here. This woman now has crossed the line into the hate territory,
there has never been a successful media person in the history
of this country that has crossed the line into hate, there are
niche people on talk radio, very few on television here, they're
wiped out, but on her blog, in her demeanor of television, she
is now a hater and Disney is gonna have to deal with it somehow,
I think"
In a segment where O'Reilly explains to
us what media fairness and balance is all about - "We
think we have crossed a line into the hate arena... The
problem is once you get into an area where you are spreading
propaganda, which is where she is with the 9/11 conspiracy
and the British government set up its own people to be
kidnapped, once you get into that absurd area, the company
you work for has to say, this is her opinion, but here
is another opinion to balance it out that may be sane."
On ratings - "I'm not interested in
numbers, I'm interested in protecting Americans from hateful
comments and protecting our forces overseas. When someone
does what O'Donnell is doing, this is used by our enemies
all over the world because her transmission goes all over."
"Rosie O'Donnell has now crossed into
anti American territory, she hates this government, the
Bush administration, and she is using that hatred, she
is venting her venom, for whatever reason, I am not a
psychiatrist, and she is damaging the country in doing
so.... Surely you can't allow someone to come on the air
everyday and vent hateful dishonest propaganda, you just
can't do that."
On debating O'Donnell - "I will never
go on the View while she is there because I will not go
up against a hater like her."
O'Reilly also had some choice words for
Charlie Sheen - "If Charlie Sheen puts his name on
a 9/11 conspiracy documentary, that will be used by every
American hater in the world to tell uninformed people,
'you see Al Qaeda didn't carry out the attack on 9/11,
the Americans attacked themselves, the Jews did it, OK,
that kind of stuff."
In a concluding moment on The Factor,
O'Reilly stated: "No one has control over O'Donnell,
and that's what ABC's conundrum is". That is not
a conundrum Bill, that's called living in a free country.

O'Reilly also reminded viewers of his recent "radical"
"far left" guests, Sunsara Taylor and Rocky Anderson
(whom he also throws into the "haters" category with
O'Donnell) showing clips of each telling absolute truths that
are unflattering to the Bush administration. O'Reilly is so afraid
that his viewers might actually further research these foreign
viewpoints that he spent considerable time after each appearance
misquoting and slandering his guests, a real coward's technique
of debate.
O'Reilly's standpoint is that O'Donnell
et al are not merely exercising their unalienable right
to free speech, they are preaching hate. O'Reilly believes
that O'Donnell and "her radical pals" are telling
the world the USA is a criminal nation and are somehow
"aiding the enemy" whomever that may be this
week.
O'Donnell, Sheen, Anderson, Taylor, and
myriad others are doing no such thing, they are in fact
doing the exact opposite in taking on a provably corrupt
and criminal Bush administration by encouraging the American
people to question their government in an effort to protect
American values and further prevent the spread of anti
American hatred elsewhere.
O'Reilly waxes lyrical about how two sides
of any issue should always be presented but in O'Reilly's
America, he would have O'Donnell taken off the air immediately
and he would have Mark Cuban "thrown
in jail".
In O'Reilly's America anyone who calls into
his radio show in disagreement would receive
a visit from Fox security and have their information
turned over to local law enforcement agency.
In O'Reilly's America anyone grabbed, labeled an
enemy combatant detained without trial at the government's behest
should be immediately
executed.
In O'Reilly's America there would be no
academic freedom Any professor in disagreement with the US
government would be " investigated by the FBI" or "followed
24 hours a day by the CIA" as Sammy Al-Arian and the 9/11
Scholars have found out.
In O'Reilly's America anyone who criticizes
the espoused pro-torture policy of the government is unpatriotic.
This is Bill O'Reilly's America, a place where
the right to free speech and protest is the right to be reported
to the authorities, publicly branded a "hater" and locked
up.
