O'Lielly on MM "nuts": "We should trace call & go to their house"
Referring to callers he called "nuts," Fox News host Bill O'Reilly said on the October 28 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show that we should go to their houses.

He was prompted by a caller who, in a discussion about outed CIA operative Valerie Plame, told O'Reilly, "If you want true, no-spin facts about this case, you can't do better than mediamatters.com ." O'Reilly then replied, "We got another nut on the air," complaining: "That's the worst part of doing this." He then added, "I can get their addresses when they call in. We can trace them back, and we should all go over and surprise them."

During a recent O'Reilly Factor segment on "political smear sites" (specifically naming Media Matters for America), O'Reilly himself expressed fear of being tracked down by critics, claiming that "I've got to have bodyguards. ... And it's because of them ." O'Reilly made similar comments during a Newsday interview, in which he hinted at a possible retirement.

From the October 28 broadcast of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:

CALLER: Bill, this is the time of war. She was a WMD analyst. She wasn't monitoring troop movements in India or something like that. She was working on this country's most pressing concern. This is an important issue, and I got one point about the media. If you want true, no-spin facts about this case, you can't do better than mediamatters.com.

O'REILLY: Ah! All right. Anyway, we get another nut on the air. That's the worst part of doing this. Ninety percent of the callers are good, and then you get nuts. Now, we should go to their house. We should all go because I can get their addresses when they call in. We can trace them back, and we should all go over and surprise
them.

5. Only seen O'Reilly a few times, but he seems mentally uh..unbalanced
I think it goes beyond entertaining the masses with spin for TH cash and prizes.
There's something wrong with him.

Is there a vulnerable Senate seat in your state?

7. They guy who called in
is a regular poster on DailyKoz. He wrote about this on Friday and posted the entire transcript. It's pretty funny. I think this is the new trend. To threaten individuals. Recently, on my discussion board, I was threatened by one of our resident wingnuts. He told me that he might report me to the Department of Familes and Children because I laughed when my 15 year old daughter told me she and her best friend had spit on a Hummer.

15. My view is that whatever a "lady" does
is ladylike. Unless, of course, you subscribe to a stereotype of what a "lady" should be. Myself? Ladies run the full gamut of personality and shouldn't have subscribed behaviour based on their gender.

18. i would think it was
Edited on Mon Oct-31-05 07:36 PM by catmother
inappropriate for a man too. spitting on a stranger's car? where's the logic? could have been some nice democrat's car. it's wrong and i think you should teach her better manners. but if you condone then i guess you don't have much class yourself.

on edit: what was your daughter's logic is doing this?

16. inciting riots is against the law
A man with his influence is a danger to America when he calls for people to kill callers he disagrees with.

He did mean to kill them, only in a sneaky way.

19. His producers should be contacted
and berated for not firing him on the spot . Hes become dangerous. When a guy with his influence tells his puppets to find the caller and wink wink, you figure out the way to kill them or hurt them .

20. What a gasbag. He is so full of himself one of these days he will
blow!!!(Not that he desn't do that everyday.)

Isn't threatening to go to someones house with the (unspoken)intent to harm them illegal? Isn't that harassment?

That group violent mindset stuff is pretty scary.
