Summary: A "Best of The Radio Factor" special featured an October clip of host Bill O'Reilly calling George Soros "the big left-wing loon who's financing all these smear [web]sites," adding, "They ought to hang this Soros guy."

The January 2 edition of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly -- billed as a "Best of The Radio Factor" special -- featured a clip of host Bill O'Reilly claiming that financier George Soros, "the big left-wing loon who's financing all these smear [web]sites," shelters his money on the Caribbean island of Curaçao. O'Reilly added: "They ought to hang this Soros guy." The clip was from the October 24, 2005, broadcast of The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly.

O'Reilly has previously accused Soros of being one of the "money men" behind a so-called "secret plan" to "diminish Christian philosophy in the U.S.A."

From the October 24, 2005, broadcast of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:

O'REILLY: Where does George Soros have all his money? Do you know? Do you know where George Soros, the big left-wing loon who's financing all these smear [web]sites, do you know where his money is? Curaçao. Curaçao. They ought to hang this Soros guy. His money is in Curaçao. Mr. Socialism. But not for him. Not for him. Oh no, he's got his money in Curaçao. It drives me nuts.
