Bill O'Reilly wants NYC cabdrivers shot dead!

[edbermac]

O'Reilly suggested headline to "left-wing smear sites who are listening": "O'Reilly wants cab drivers shot dead"

From the December 20 broadcast of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:

O'REILLY: All right, "No Spin News" real quick. Transit strike hits New York City. New York says it's against the law. The transit people don't care, and da-da-da -- 33,000 transit employees, and they're gone, so everybody's walking around. There's price gouging. A friend of mine told me that his daughter had to go out to the airport, a run that would cost you 40 bucks, and then somebody wants $300 to take you out there, you know, that kind of thing. Immediately, that person should be shot dead. Did you get that, you left-wing smear sites who are listening? OK? Just pass that around -- "O'Reilly wants cab drivers shot dead" -- big headline on the left-wing website. You gotta give them something, ladies and gentlemen. These little weasels...

Okay Bill, I'm happy to oblige...and Happy Holidays to you!

1. Why is he allowed to be on the air?

He should be in jail for threats like this. :grr:

[sakabatou]

4. I can't wait till O'Liely takes a ride in a cab

:evilgrin:

[edbermac]

10. You talkin' to me?? YOU TALKIN' TO ME??

[nini]

16. LOL

we should be so lucky... :D

[SeveneightyWhoa]

2. Why can't Bill O'Reilly stand to see his words..

..in print, on a website?

Apparently the act of repeating exactly what the guy said, and posting it on a website, is a "smear"? This guy must really have low self-confidence.

[stray cat]

3. My ride to the airport cost the same as always

strike or no strike. Most people aren't price gouging, those that our are being reported and will be convicted. I think we can skip the idea of vigillante capital punishment for price gouging.

[gonefishing]

17. Perfect!

[Dawgs]

5. We need to keep going after this guy.

It drives him nuts that everyone see's him as a dumbass.

Hi Bill!! :hi:

[PurityOfEssence]

6. Slaves must do my bidding or be put to death

Workers have no right to complain about their situation, and certainly not strike.

Can there be a better expression of the unfettered free market than a cabbie getting what he can out of a sticky situation? Why does Bill hate entrepreneurs so; is he some kind of Communist?

What a loser, privileged asshole. He grew up well-off, denies it repeatedly, and demands to be some kind of aristocrat at the expense of others. Threats of death are serious, and to make them over something as paltry as money shows true ugliness of the soul.

Reactionaries are increasingly calling for people who annoy them to be killed; what next?

[npincus]

7. I'll bet the feeling is mutual

[kenny blankenship]

8. I wonder if price gouging oil execs should be shot dead, too?

I suppose not.

Or I know--how about those defense contractors soaking the treasury $1,500 for every handgrenade? (Something I learned recently). Shouldn't they be shot too, Bill?

Nah, just kill all the NYC taxi drivers. They're all Muslims anyway! If it wasn't for them Islamiac cabdrivers in NYC we wouldn't have to be over in Iraq, throwing our gold-plated handgrenades.

11. He actually dissed them last night on his show

Did indeed say that they were gouging us and we should conserve energy...

[tjwash]

9. The thing is, his ratings are sucking hind tit...

...so he is trying go more extreme and nutty, just so people will listen to him, just to see what he will say next like Mike "Weiner" Savage. Do his rantings and looney tune ramblings make a lick of difference in how the world turns? No not one little bit. At best it just tends to reinforce what most of his close minded tools already think.

But just the fact that there is thread after thread on places like DU, after he releases each nutty saying, is proof that it is working.

[shenmue]

12. Thou shalt not kill?...

Not so big on those commandments now, are we, huh Bill?

:wtf:

[B3Nut]

14. Oh heck, he's already obliterated

the "Thou shalt not bear false witness" commandment, so why should he give a flying tinker's damn about the rest of them? He's like the rest of the neocon toadies; he merely spouts Biblical phraseology so the drooling fundies will fawn over him.

Maybe if we all just ignore him he'll go away...he's like a 2-year-old.

15. Fortunately there's no commandment that says

that thou shalt not talk like a sick pervert masturbating on a park bench to your fellow employees of the FOX/NewsCorp. It's just statute law and that can be bought off with money.

[shenmue]

18. Well...

death threats are illegal. They are not protected by the First Amendment. Raving like a lunatic is one thing. Actually saying specific people should be shot dead--and cab drivers are specific people--is against federal law.

There's that little technicality.

Just saying.

[JHB]

13. We understand your feelings perfectly, Bill...

...It's just that when we feel that way about shameless gouging by corporations and their officers that make what those cab drivers extort look like chicken feed, we're "anti-buisiness", we're told "it's just the free market at work", and we're characterized as radicals and malcontents.

So go ahead, bust a cap on that cabbie: just do it AFTER you've shown Kenny Boy the downstairs exit.

[milkyway]

19. Hey, asshole, it's not a smear if it's true. If you say something stupid

and somebody reports it, that's not a smear.

The only person doing the smearing is yourself by exposing yourself as a sewer rat feeding off people's fear and hate (now that might qualify as a smear).

[quiet.american]

20. O'Whiny wants everybody shot dead. Someone please put him on meds. n/t

[davidinalameda]

21. what a fucking idiot

is this THE leftwing website he's talking about

if so, pretty cool!!!!

[Loonman]

22. Call the FCC

Yep.

[Fla Dem]

23. O'lielly has a very short fuse and a nasty temper. He tries to control it

on air so his audience doesn't know how extreme he really is, but one of these days his head is gonna explode.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

26. I have not ever seen his show . . .

. . . nor do I wish to. But I'd watch the evil puke's head explode. Somebody capture that video when it occurs, ok?

[Fla Dem]

24. Will he take responsibility if someone actually does it ???? n/t

[Tom Joad]

25. How many NY cabdrivers are shot dead? Can their families sue Mr. Bill?

Does it add just a little bit to the crazyiness of urban life when you hear on the radio "shoot cabbies dead"... inciting murder is not a crime?... or can it at least be called profanity?

Is this not something that should shock the conscience?

Why is this not deemed profanity? What kind of "morality" would not permit talk of sexual activities, a joyful part of being human, yet would permit "banter" about shooting people dead???

Oh yeah, Merry Christmas to you too, Mr. Bill.

[baby_mouse]

27. We're REALLY getting under his skin....

:-)

Hey, Bill? I don't care what happens to you. This is because you want a world where I don't care what happens to you. Then you get pissy when you find out that people like me don't care what happens to you.

Add. It. Up.
