O'Reilly receives "Worst Person" gold for suggesting CIA should kidnap Pelosi and Reid and waterboard Pelosi

From the January 26 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:

And he got all worked up, and wet himself, and wanted to deliver some real eye-poppin' garbage, to keep up with the Rodeo Clown and Rush.
O'Reilly is truly pathetic, the very definition of pathetic.
Where's the Secret Sevice on this little joke?
In case you forgot, waterboarding Nancy Pelosi would not kill her or even cause any real harm.
Turn off Fox and hate talk radio. They're lying to you. Try reading.
Personally, I don't think Dunn should have backed down regarding the Mao comment. She was perfectly in the right to say that Mao was one of her favorite philosophers. However, Beck and Hannity started with the personal attacks against her. Calling an individual a commie, socialist, facist, etc. does nothing more than to dehumanize the target of such attacks.
When you begin to dehumanize an individual, it becomes easier to commit acts of violence against them, especially in mob-like settings. The fact that Bill O, Hannity, and Beck are on tv saying this stuff means that any individual near one of their victims could easily be attacked. It doesn't take much to encourage a mentally unstable person to explode and commit an act of violence, but Beck, Hannity, and Bill O continue to have no problem striking those matches.
You say: "make incendiary comments that could and likely do cause people to commit or at least contemplate acts of violence against the subject of their monologues."
Who are these people though? The murderer who killed Dr. Tiller? Did he do it because of what O'Reilly said or did he do it because he was insane?
keep churning out the slop babe.
Umm, did you think about maybe other future abortion doctors that O'Reilly might decide to rail against, like he did to Tiller? He will give them nicknames, too, probably.
To be fair, he didn't give Tiller that nickname, but he certainly used it more than once or twice.
Knoxville News Sentinel - July 28, 2007
"Inside [Adkisson’s] house, officers found ‘Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder’ by radio talk show host Michael Savage, ‘Let Freedom Ring‘ by talk show host Sean Hannity, and ‘The O'Reilly Factor,’ by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly." He brought about 80 shells for his gun and a note that said he was going to keep killing liberals till the cops got him. He only got off three shots – he didn’t expect liberals to fight back – but that was enough to wound eight, killing two. Too bad Adkisson was the only one who went to jail. I hope he meets some gays in prison who can make him more familiar with their lifestyle choices.
Wanna hear a hilarious joke?: We should kidnap and torture Sarah Palin! Get it? Isn't that hilarious? Ha ha ha! Hurt her real bad! Ha ha! Then subject her to things that we've been pretending AREN'T torture but we're definitely ADMITTING ARE in the context of our joke! Ha ha, hypocrisy!
I'm sorry you must have missed this part, so I reposted it because you might have become tired of reading my post after the first paragraph.
In this case, Scott Roeder is a perfect example. A guy with serious issues that is predisposed to Bill O's and Beck's incendiary remarks. It doesn't take a whole lot of imagination to believe that an individual, in a similar situation, listening to either Bill O's show could and likely would murder another individual that Bill O claimed to be a "baby-killer".
Personally, I think everyone needs to tone down the remarks so individuals on each side can rationally debate issues. However, when you have members of a "news" organization making incendiary remarks, the real conversation gets drowned out.
I've said it numerous times, when someone has a broadcast platform (tv, radio, internet, or newspapers), they need to exercise some good judgment. No reasonable person would yell fire in a crowded theater, but that is what Bill O was effectively doing and what Beck does every weekday. I'm not saying that Bill O and Beck should stop talking, but they should at least control what they say and take into consideration the effect that it will have on others. This applies equally to individuals on the Left as well.
wow, a guy murders 80 million but if he has some catchy lines he must be great. idiots
Guess you haven't read any Mao. Maybe you should. After all, he did turn a country of peasants repeatedly subjugated by Japan into a world power.
I might also mention that you proved my point above, perfectly. You just devolved a rational debate into an attack on me and the people who agree with me. I'm sorry if you disagree with Dunn, myself, or those that agree with me, but calling us idiots does nothing more than marginalize us. Marginalization is the greatest threat here in the US, not people quoting Mao.
She said that he was a favorite ONLY when she wanted to make ONE point - that both he and Mother Teresa had interesting ideas about how to explain that one should follow the path that one feels self-directed to follow!!! Not that he was her favorite philosopher, you dum-dum!
She said that she was JOKING about another part of her comment.
You are so far behind you haven't even passed the start line yet!!! You don't KNOW what the clips showed - you only know what you were told to type.
Why do you insist that if someone disagree with what someone says, and you may agree with that person, you consider the other a person a liberal?
Try reposting your comment again.
SMH!
But when it's not....they are VICIOUS.
Bill O'Reilly is not a comedian.
Bill O'Reilly has terrible comedic skills.
The right ripped up Anita Dunn for her failed joke (which, might we add, did NOT refer to violence), so Bill O should take his criticism the same way.
You, MagCynic, are MY Worst Person in the World.
Question? If this "joke" had been told by Jon Stewart or that DEMON Keith Olbermann about say, John McCain or the new golden boy, Mark Brown, would you be laughing? Probably not.
It's not about sensitivity, sir, it's about common decency. O'Reilly and his zoo animals in the video have none.
Just, joking... HA Ha
