A right-wing commentator invited terrorist group to attack American city.
Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 09:32 PM by Bouncy Ball
In case you didn't hear about this: a right-wing (TV/radio) figure of some doubtful ratings named Bill O'Reilly invited Al-Queda, a notorious terrorist organization, to attack San Fransisco, an American city, because said public figure doesn't like the way some of the people in that American city vote.

When questioned about his urging a terrorist group to attack an American city, the right-wing commentator at first said he was being misconstrued.

Realizing there aren't too many ways to interpret an invitation to attack an American city, the right-wing commentator later declared that he absolutely meant it, saying he "said what needed to be said" when he invited Al-Queda to attack an American city.

So to re-cap, Bill O'Reilly, the right-wing commentator, said on air that he would like Al-Queda to make a terrorist attack on an American city. The right-wing commentator indicated that would make him very happy.

And in my opinion, public commentators such as this right-wing one should never invite terrorist groups to attack any American city.

Inviting terrorist groups to attack American cities is wrong, especially if you are an American.

Asking someone to hurt and kill your fellow citizens is wrong.

Asking someone to destroy a city is wrong.

Bill O'Reilly, the right-wing commentator would like for innocent Americans to be killed by Al-Queda, just like they did on September 11. I think that makes HIM a terrorist, doesn't it?

(Feel free to pass this around in emails. I think it gets the point across nicely. EDIT! I didn't mean this to be just used for DU. I wrote this with intentional repetition so that it could be used to send around to emails. Pound it home what he did. And then pound it home some more. If I had said "fascist" it would lose anyone you email it to almost right away except for people who ALREADY hate him. This was written to be used outside of DU.)

7. I appreciate your point...
or points, I should say. Now, if only this kind of meme would creep into the "public" domain. I would certainly like to see it sink in. Of course, you know you're singing to the choir here.

Peace :hippie:

5. The U.S. Government
should either capture or kill all terrorists, i.e. all who would advocate the destruction of Americans or American cities.

8. Yes, I agree.
Actually, doesn't this make Bill O'Reilly a terrorist?

I will add that to my post, which just for everyone reading, was written with very intentional wording and repitition.

10. Hey Bouncy girl...
I'm feeling you baby.

I am going to cut and paste this, and send it in to my conservative right wing local newspaper the Kansas City Star as a LTTE.

Then maybe I will send it to some of the right wing local radio stations here in town. See what they think.

Maybe the good Doctor Micheal Savage needs to see this, since he lives in San Francisco. Maybe these two right wing assholes can eat each other alive in some bizarre death cage match.

I see ya working.

Hope every thing is cool in Hewston....

Beat the Chiefs next week for me too please!

12. You know it!
And I love your spelling of it!

You got what I was doing! :-)

Yes, feel free, tweak the wording if you wish, but it's a way to pound home what he really DID when he said that!

11. Ok everyone. I added an edit to the bottom of the opening post.
To explain my motivation here.

I know most DUers know about this. That's not why I wrote it.

I know "right-wing commentator" is a bit tame for you guys. It's tame for me, too.

I explained it in the edit.
