Does Bill O'Reilly have it in for the city by the bay?

San Franciscans have been in an uproar this week over apparent comments by the host of Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" that it was A-OK for terrorists to wipe the city off the map.

At issue are comments from O'Reilly's Election Day broadcast on his syndicated Westwood One radio show about a San Francisco ballot measure opposing the presence of military recruiters in city schools.

"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," O'Reilly said, according to a transcript and audio posted by liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America, and by the San Francisco Chronicle.

"And if al-Qaida 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," O'Reilly continued, referring to the 1933 San Francisco landmark that sits atop Telegraph Hill.

Adding to the buzz was the archived version of O'Reilly's Tuesday show, which omitted the incendiary comments, according to Bay Area TV station KNTV.


City officials were not amused. "It sounds like he's on the same medication Rush Limbaugh is addicted to, and he should go see a therapist,'' Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin, whose district includes the tower, told the Chronicle.

Neither O'Reilly nor Fox News have yet commented on the dust-up.

'The big digit to the military'?
As for the ballot measure, which urged local high schools and colleges to bar military recruiters from their campuses, it passed with 60 percent of San Franciscans in favor of it.

The radio show was not the only time O'Reilly commented on the ballot proposition. On his Monday night "O'Reilly Factor," he tangled with Angela Alioto, the former president of the city's Board of Supervisors.

"Why should the rest of the country protect your butt, with all due respect, OK, when it comes to the war on terror, if San Francisco is going to thumb your nose and give the big digit to the military? Why should ... why should we protect you from al-Qaida and terrorists if you're going to disrespect the military, by passing this ... even though it's symbolic ... this resolution?" he asked Alioto.

Alioto briefly tripped up O'Reilly during her appearance, pointing out that he had conflated the military-recruitment measure with another measure to ban handguns. That measure also passed, 58 percent to 42 percent.


Listen to falafel Bill here.

Looks like O'Really and Patty-Bob are sharing the same whacky tobacky.

Oh, crap! I forgot you told me Anderson's show repeats at 1am... gotta run!

Argh, that means you missed the North Korea video. :o I'm not going to be able to sleep after seeing it.

Stupid A-hole. God forbid we have a few progressive cities in this country.:rolleyes:
I wish I had seen Alioto though. She's a character.

I think people out here are just sick of what is most often the poorer and more disenfranchised kids getting sent off to die in National Guard absentee Smirky the Chimp's immoral and illegal war.Bill O'Reilly is welcome out here though if he ties a millstone around his neck and takes a plunge off of our most famous landmark.

Are you sure you don't mean the Power House? The Power Exchange is the club with the wrestling ring on the 3rd level where I'd be glad to take Bill on in a NHB match.:laugh:

Glad I have digital...
 
satellite now (180+ channels) cause I never watch Faux News (Or it is Fuxx, which rhymes with Sucks?)

Hell, I rarely watch ANY network news channel (Hell havent been watching Rita Crosby anymore, I must be dying!) I guess those late night lame porn movies on Cinemax/Showtime have fried my brain! (Poorest acting in a William Shatner School of Acting kind of way)

As for O'Really, Dude, Ya need to come off your high horse before your overgrown ego driven head tumbles off to the ground in a cloud of dust and a mighty "High Ho stupid f**k", cause my late Mother told me "If if looks like ****, and it sounds like **** ya can bet it is indeed full of ****"---Which sounds like O'Really to a "T".

:wavey: Bars in San Francisco.. yeah, they ALL have back rooms :)

Is the Power House near 9th and Folsom? I used to work SOMA: Hamburger Mary's, Paradise, Ace cafe, SLims.

You know I just want to show Bill O'Reilly what SF is really all about, and then take photos for evidence, so he will leave us alone. Amber said it, what an A-hole!

Perhaps recruiters should be sent to country clubs instead? Or to Fox buildings nation wide? Why isn't Bill volunteering himself if it is such a just cause? WHY DON'T PEOPLE SEE WHAT AN IDIOT HE IS? His retirement can't come soon enough. I'll throw a big party when it happens.

Man, what is O'Dumbass smoking? Of course we'd do SOMETHING about it if they blew up San Francisco! We'd also do SOMETHING if they blew up Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Mexico City, or Tijuana. If somebody (al-Qaida) screws with us or our neighbors, you can bet the US will unleash a hefty dose of whoop-ass! O'Dumbass is one of those guys who's that wonderful combination of ignorant and arrogant.

That's such a nice way of saying she's crazier than ****! :laugh:

I was happy to vote yes on the ban (GREAT ELECTION, CALIFORNIA!!), and yes I do want SF to be our own country. On that, Bill and I agree.
