If you want to be heard you must go to the Fox News web site and get a password and tell it to them. You must flood the FOX inbox with the truth about O'Reilly , hate-monger. Saying it here only at Salon it will not reach enough of the ears of people who need to know how the vast majority of true Americans feel. And send complaints to the the Executives at the Fox Network also separate from this kind of letter. You stand a better chance of making a difference that way.

Salon does me, an Independent, little good with such pieces. After the obligatory first nice-nice paragraph, the "BUT" vocabulary is prejudicial rather than opinion-generating.

An example occurs in the third paragraph, where Winant says O'Reilly has an "obsession " with [preventing] child molestation and rape. Is Michelle Obama's commitment to Veterans' Families an "obsession?" No. Both are COMMITTED to these good causes.

Another weakness in the piece is the jostling of facts leftward. For heaven's sake's, the first attempt on Tiller was way before (1985) O'Reilly was on cable. The attributed quotations are only shown in the MediaMatters slant, not from the equally defensible point that O'Reilly is a man committed to human life. Winant would be more effective if he presented all views before stating his and weakening his opponents.

If Winnant had shown a broader reporting while stating he view, I would have been much better served in what is for many a life and death situation.

Like the German Nazi public relation experts,who talked it up to get hate for the Jews, O'Reilly (who used to be reasonable) has become the mouth piece for those that hate or need to hate.

What motivated him to stop trying to reason. I want to say it was some thing simple like money. But, we do know those sliping into alzheimers will display some such behavior.

If you are the cause of some one being killed, our laws have said you are responsible and need to be punished and it does not matter if the person killed deserved it.

He and his ilk are acting like clones of the "great Fuehrer". If he would have been around in the 1930s he sure as hell would praise the Nazis. Their policies were identical to those of the neo-cons.

In the news today is the murder of a young recruit at an Army Recruiting office. Perhaps Salon is implicated and at least indirectly responsible for this death (like O'Reilly). I don't know. Has Salon or any contributors spoken out to verbally attack the wrongness of any armed forces recruitment? If so, that author and Salon are no doubt responsible by the doctrine of Maothink, sorry, I mean Salonthink. Logic and Salon don't seem to mix well. Conservatives are not the only ones to pick only facts that back up their arguments.

Do you really think O'Reilly's the only one to publicly protest Dr.Killer's 5K per baby specials? Or is it the fact that so many people in the U.S.know who O'Reilly and FOX are but don't have a clue who or what Salon is.

The Mad Professor writes:

"The insidious plan worked because a good many of the lowest human life forms simply migrated to the democratic party from the Non-Voters groups and a good many Leftists who also disliked minorities but quietly supported the idea."

Hey Prof, are you so idiotic to miss the hypocrisy of accusing the Democrats of supporting eugenics to get rid of minorities, and then referring to these same minorities as "lowest human life forms?" In the same sentence?

Must have not be Logic 101 you're teaching, Professor.

Let me start by saying that I believe abortion is a dastardly act. I oppose abortions. I will not judge a person who is involved with these acts. God will be the judge. I do hope that no person is eternally damned and that God can forgive terrible acts. It is not for you and me to judge a person and to kill a person. God is the judge. Killing of a person is a mortal sin and there can be no justification for such a killing whether the killing is of babies or adults.

you guys are pathetic,,, by this rancid logic , Senator Robert Byrd should be responsible for the assassination of Dr King as this was when he was in his KKK days and railed against him ...

anyone who incites acts of violence are, themselves, guilty of that violence... research the war crimes trial of the Radio Rwanda journalist, Georges Omar Ruggiu, who encouraged violence against Tutsis and was a perpetrator in the Rwandan Genocide without even raising a single machete himself...

check this:

speaking of inciting crime (including war crimes), if several people were sitting in a crowded movie theatre and, within their particular radius, began whispering in a couple of directions, "fire! pass it along", no free speech protection would exist for those whisperers just as though they had actually shouted the word...

an investgation, indictment and trial would certainly shake a few bad apples fromt the tree when "free speech" becomes a disguise for inciting hate crime...

while its nice to have a opposite to msnbc s far left garbage and their ridiculous plight to kiss obamas butt, and the failure of them to actually discuss things like illegals and the harm they are doing etc, etc, oreilly goes way over the line on things like this abortion doctor,, its legal, he has a right to do it and I think oreilly should be in front of a judge if for more than inticing a individual to commit a criminal act. He is definately a factor in it and just because hes on tv doesnt give him the right to do what he did. also i think the guys wife should have him in court with a lawsuit for the death of her husband because without good ole billo shooting his mouth off he probably wouldnt be dead right now and Im sure a good lawyer can bankrupt billo in the process. You live by the mouth, you die by the mouth billow!
