..its really kind of absurd to expect or want him to be legally prosecuted as an accomplice in Dr. Tiller's brutal murder. O'Reilly should be tried and found guilty in the court of public opinion for fear/lie/hate-mongering, but in a legal court there is absolutely no case for murder and I think that we all know that and are trying to blow off steam.
Advocates for women's rights need come together in this moment, stand up and make it clear to these right-wing fascist wackos that we will not be intimidated into abandoning our rights. We need to pressure conservative leaders to do more than give lip service against these acts of terrorism.
So you're blaming O'Reilly basically because he has constantly brought up Tiller as a baby killer, and as a result that caused Tiller to be killed.
Well, maybe it did, and maybe it didn't. Basically O'Reilly, "so far" has a right to express his opinion, which I myself sometimes don't agree with, but he still has that right. Amazing how when a conservative expresses something you egghead liberals don't agree with, then it's just terrible. But it's OK for the liberals to bash, and express theirs all the time.
Tiller was messing with something a lot of people are against, he knew the chances he was taking and as a result got killed, simple as that.
Need to be more careful about your choice of jobs.
So.. What's the problem?
Bill O'Reilly is right as usual about thugs such as this hatchet practisioner. Tiller deserved to die, but he should have had his arms and legs pulled off first while he tried to grab a lifeline... of course while not knowing what was going on... and while clinging to the only life he ever knew.
Which in Tiller's murder spree and in comparison to the murdered babies would have been the babies mother's womb.
Anyone confessing to ridding the world of Tiller the Nazi-like hatchetman should be awarded wonderful things. THEN, we need to release Eric Rudolph and give him a reward.

Bill O'Reilly should be arrested and tried for incitement to murder. It was just a matter of time before O'Reilly's insane rants inspired some nut-job to take the law into his own hands and commit a vigilante assassination. O'Reilly should be tried in criminal court, and also sued by Dr. Tiller's family in civil court for every penny he is worth.

OMgosh dude, O'Reilly is SUCH an idiot. Does anyone really CARE what he says? Anyone with an ounce of common sense anyways??

And a Nazi.
It is odd that when abortion was a felony in the US no abortionist was murdered for performing an abortion, so far as I know. Now that it is legal, many have been murdered.
As for O'Reilly, well... he is certainly reckless... but I doubt that this murder will give him pause to reconsider his recklessness. Unfortunately, it takes all kinds, even those who are always right.
First I DESPISE O'Reilly and his band of goofball, bigoted, sensational cronies,however, we all know that he will NOT receive any form of justice. If anything Tiller's murder just got him a few hundred more viewers.
I love when the same MALE hypocrites, who despise abortiont and preach morality, are the first to wave a flag and champion the death penalty! Isn't LIFE-life? O'Reilly is a disgrace and will pay the price when he is judged by the only One who is entitled to judging.
Whenever and wherever dogmatic religious intolerance is allowed to flourish, it ultimately leads to fanatical terrorism. The issue, whether for GLBT rights, reproductive freedom, or one’s choice in headgear, inevitably becomes just an excuse for some to put themselves in the role of god, meting out ‘punishment’ ... killing for Jesus, or Mohammed, or Baal, or .....
Approximately one in every four conceptions is spontaneously aborted, usually before a woman is even aware of the pregnancy. Wouldn’t that make God the ultimate abortionist? These people may be clinically insane. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see that used as a defense ... ‘Religion made me crazy’.
Spirit unites, religion divides.
As humans, we have an innate distrust of ‘the other’, anyone different from ourselves. There will always be those who use that as a pressure point to goad the intellectually inept into slavishly becoming ideological puppets, then using them as proxy armies to battle the demigod’s ‘enemies’. And when it leads to overt murder, whether of one doctor or of some one-and-a-half million Armenians, those who are the authors of these murders will claim their hands are clean.
It can be reasonably argued that the lack of response to the Armenian genocide emboldend Hitler less than 20 years later. If there is no significant response to this murder, then there will surely be untold numbers of ‘Little Hitlers’ who will be likewise emboldened. Bill O’Reilly and his ilk use exactly the same techniques as Hitler and others, demonizing their targets and repeating the same bumper-sticker phrases over and over until their zombie minions go forth and wreak their bloody work.
The American Taliban is gearing up. No wonder they’re so supportive of the NRA.
I don't condone the vigilante murder of Dr. Tiller. On the other hand, O'Reilly is right in calling the doctor a "baby killer" given that his practice specialized in partial-birth abortions. There is no way to soften the descriptor of the doctor's actions. They were immoral.
with the man who pulled the trigger, however the Pro-Life movement should step up and defend the man who took the "logical" step in acting in response to their "unborn Holocaust". He should be a hero in their eyes. At least Islamic Radicals never attempt to hide their true face of hatred so we know where they stand, unlike our American Taliban who still cower in the shadow of their own rhetoric while trying to have it both ways.
