O'Reilly Wants to Blow Up Bloggers with Hand Grenade

October 25th 2006 11:35

Bill O'Reilly, once again uncontrollably spewing out venom like some kind of spastic snake, stated on 'The O'Reilly Factor' on 18/10/06. when discussing internet bloggers and their opinions "if I can get away with it, boy, I’d go in with a hand grenade."

I have spent the last week or so of my blogs ranting about how I believe freedom of speech is being taken away, apparently I was mistaken. It would seem, judging by the example set by O'Reilly, that it is acceptable to say on national television that if I could get away with it I would kill those who express their disagreement with me using a hand held explosive to blow them up.

I can only hope that Bill has read my blog 'Bill O'Reilly is a Pretentious Twat' as it is probably the only chance I will get to tell him how I feel. Why cant Bill act like a rational human being and if he disagrees with blogs, put a comment on to explain why and justify his argument instead of just threatening violence through an allegedly 'Fair & Balanced' media station. Wouldn't that be great? If the self proclaimed 'O'Reilly Tzu' started posting comments on my blog and we could have a civilized debate without my microphone being turned off, being told to "Shut Up!" or being called "A Loon" as he likes to label those with contrary views to his own. But that's propbably why he doesn't. Nevertheless, Bill if you're reading, I'd love to hear from you!

Also in the show, O'Reilly claims that bloggers with political opinions, presumably like myself, are "hired guns. These are people hired — being paid very well to smear and try to destroy people." I have written blogs on here since late september, regularly post blogs on my Myspace account and write album reviews for a music magazine. To date, I have never been paid for any piece of writing, political or otherwise. If anyone knows of any organisations that would pay me very well to "smear and destroy people" such as O'Reilly or the Bush administration, please let me know as it sounds like the ideal job!

Oh yeah, one last message to Bill. If in the very unlikely event you're reading this, come round my house with a hand grenade and see how far you can get before I find somewhere much more appropriate for you to stick it!

You can watch a short video of the conversation and read a transcript here.

Hi Gareth,

Just read through your links, even the preface to his book. Is it my imagination or does he take an oddly inflexible stand? For someone of his generation, I'd think he'd be a little more laid back instead of having such a ferocious in-your-face attitude.

Oh yes! O'Reilly certainly is a pretentious twat, and his far right, intolerant, nazi views become more apparent every time he opens his idiotic mouth. Though I do find it quite reassuring that he is the best that the pro-administration media can come up with. Little more than a single brain cell is required to see what this guy is all about. Like a spoilt 3yr old in his own back yard making sure he gets all the best toys and all the attention or "mommy's gonna throw you out". We're still waiting for "Master O'Reilly" to accept Keith Olbermann's challenge of a debate between the two, which should, no doubt, be very interesting if it ever actually happens. Which I doubt very much will as Bill, Master Bill, is clearly scared of getting ruined by a far superior opponent on a level playing field.

Anyway, on another note, glad to see the blog up and running again Gareth. Was a bit worried there for a while that "the Man" had shut you down to silence your voice. Maybe it was just some server/maintainance issue. Or perhaps "he" did silence you, yet Orble finally saw enough sense to realise they'd only be stiring up a Hornets nest of trouble with that kind of action. When they try to silence you they will only serve to make your voice louder and clearer and more credible. So keep up the good work.
Peace,
JoJ

Hi Harmony,

Yes, 'oddly inflexible stand' is one way to put it. I would say a bigotted, fascist point of view.

Hi Joj,

I had never thought of it like that, he is clearly a fool and it is a sad state of affairs if he is the best the US can do for a 'propaganda minister', because lets be honest, thats what he is.
Olbermann vs O'reilly would be a contest comparable to Bruce Lee and O'Hara in 'Enter the Dragon'. A short, brutal slaughter that would soon degenrerate to cheap shots on the part of the loser, only to be made to look more pathetic than he did when he started.

Apparently, it was a server problem.

Thanks for your comments both.

yo g, i tottally agree wiv u , allthough violence is NEVER the sollution to any problem, i'd loooove to see tha big assed bigott o'reilly come to our domain wiv a grenade, i also could think ov a many places for him to place it, his mouth would b a good start seemings nothing but transparent accusations an false statements tend to pour out of it so often, kinda like a sort of annoying water feature only instead of water....replace it wiv propaganda.
wot a complete and utter poo brained baffoon, still cant get over the time he insulted tha honourable war veteran n shit with his refferences to complete and utter false history events

good work tho dude, as always, keep it up

Hi Tez

I like your metaphor of a water feature, quite appropriate.

Thanks for the comment

When Bill and I were a couple, grenades had a prominent role in the bedroom. Getting moist was simply not enough to gain entry; so explosives had to be used. Those were the days. It's sad to see him want to use them now, for negative things. I guess that's why we parted ways. I could sense the evilness growing inside him. I'm much happier with my new boyfriend, Neil Cavuto. He knows how to rock my world.

it's pretty funny watching Jon Stewart and O'Reilly go toe-to-toe...

hi Rosie,

Im glad to hear you're not with Bill anymore, he never really appreciated you. i hope you're very happy with Neil, he seems an 'interesting' guy (read with sarcasm). Did you know he's married, I know its none of my business but i'd hate to see you get hurt.

Hi Cibbuano,

Yes Stewart v O'Reilly is quite amusing but not as good as O'Reilly v Letterman when Letterman quickly gets bored of Bill's gibberish and tells him "I get the feeling about 60% of what you say is crap!" brilliant!

Thanks to you both for your comments

Watch "Outfoxed." Its a documentary about Fox News, and pays special tribute to Bill O'Reilly - its hilarious watching him get so angry as soon as someone disagrees with him.

The reason Bill doesn't look us bloggers is because he knows that we're better journalists than he will ever be, and he feels threatened. Bloggers have the right to be opinionated should they want, but as a "journalist," he's supposed to be somewhat objective, and it just makes me sick that people can respect him when he cannot argue and simply enforces his conservative opinions on his audience.

Hi Jimbo

thanks for your comment

I am looking forward to watching 'outfoxed' I have already seen parts of it and it looks to be essential viewing.

It amazes me that people can watch his show, he reminds me more of the annoying pissed guy in a pub that rants about his ridiculous, bigotted views that nobody wants to hear than a journalist, he doesnt deserve the title.

Everything else aside - and you probably know this - Bill O'Reilly is a propagadist moron. Have you seen a documentary called "Outfoxed", I think you probably have.
Enough said, I reckon.

Comment by Gareth

hi hsrah,

i think propagandist moron is quite complimentary considering some of the things I could and have called O'Reilly before now.
I havent watched all of outfoxed, but i have seen the highlights and will be watching the full film asap.

Thanks for the comment

Hi Always Eighteen.

Yes, Im sure if I threatened to go around O'Reilly's house with a hand grenade I would be treated like a terrorist!

I personally think that he gets so angry because of the underhanded, sneaky ways that the secular progressives and liberal media choose to deliver their message. This countries media continually only shows one side of everything, especially the war in Iraq. I mention the war in Iraq because I have knowledge of the war that has not come from any kind of media source. I am a United States Marine, and I will be honest and say that I have not yet made it over to Iraq just yet, but I am scheduled to go in September of 2008. I do however, have very close friends who have indeed been there, and have told me very many detailed stories about the good that is being done there, and how the people there are extremely grateful that we are there. This sort of thing is exactly the type of stuff you will not see on CNN or the BBC, as these are both very liberal news channels. Even you have mentioned how liberal they are in your other blog "Bill O'Reilly Is A Prententious Twat." Also keep in mind that they are at the top of the todem pole when it comes to how big of an audience they have. So in my opinion, it is healthy to have someone who so diligently works at making sure the other side is heard. I worry about the generations to come who will be brought up in a country that has a complete lack of morals and ethics, if we don't act now to stop the secular progressive movement. Networks like MTV who promote disgusting behavior like being extremely materialistic, ( my super sweet 16) drugs, drinking, sexual activities with multiple partners, gangster rap videos, etc. It is disgusting, and I know what you will say, freedom of the press, it is up to the parents to stop them etc. I actually would agree with that, I am not one for censorship, but that doesn't excuse the fact that MTV has an agenda to change this country for the worst. Their biggest audience is children, and while it may seem like I have started to ramble, my original point was that the secular progressives have an underhanded way of delivering their message and I dont appreciate that type of media. MTV is just one of the extremely prevalant examples of this. I am glad to have someone like Bill O'Reilly who does a good job at seeing what is really going on and exposing it. Is he bullheaded sometimes? Yes, but noone is perfect, I for one would rather have a bullheaded person than noone. Thanks for reading, hope to hear back from you,
Jeff
