O'Reilly's campaign against murdered doctor

The Fox News star had compared Tiller to a Nazi, called him a "baby killer," and warned of "Judgment Day"

The letters thread is now closed.

Remember when O'Reilly went after the rapper Ludacris because of violent rhetoric in his lyrics

Yep, back in 2002 Bill O called for a boycott of Pepsi because it hired rapper Ludacris as a spokeman. And Pepsi did indeed end up firing the hip hop artist. I say we should turn the tables on Bill O and boycott his sponsors

We who are free choice HUMAN BEINGS are

above what these scum support.

If we were like them, we would support killing this punk and all those like it.

The thing doesn't know how lucky it is that we are above their kind in morals, ethics and decency.

Still, I would applaud this creep's death and, the sooner, the better and all like the creep.

You can't prevent abortion

The bloodthirsty rightists wing can murder doctors, bomb clinics, and, even outlaw a woman's right to choose, but they will never prevent abortion. They will only prevent safe, sanitary abortion done in a clinical setting, especially for poor women. The rich will continue to continue to get off-shore treatments for themselves and their daughters rather than risk back-alley procedures that currently kill over 40 thousand women in the world anually.

I think O'Reilly is an accessory to murder.

You cannot go on national television and tell millions of people, over and over again, that someone is a "baby killer" and not expect that at least one emotionally unstable person will take you at your word and do something to stop the "baby killer."

Nevermind that O'Reilly's fans are emotionally unstable to begin with, like O'Reilly. This creep, and his employers at Fox, were smart enough to know better, and yet they kept on doing it, and now we have the predictable result.

I won't bother watching O'Reilly's crocodile tears tonight. The bastard needs a RICO lawsuit against him.

William H. O'Reilly spoken. If you would not know it, H is for Heydrich Yes, William Heydrich O'Reilly.

Steele the First (and I hope the last)

Typical to attack Dish TV to distract from B. Heydrich O'Reilly.

As I pointed out their are several cable companies that may not be owned by The Aussie Asshole.

Some say that Steele the First is also an idiot and an asshole.

Some say that their religion comes before the constitution.

Some say that Heydrich better describes O'Reilly than Billo the Clown.

Some say that Rupert Murdoch should be the motivation for us to bring back Anti-Tust Laws.

Some say that the world would be a better place if the South succeeded.

Some say that that Steele the First cannot spell three letter names properly.

@barryaus

I think I can answer that for you. O'Reilly's noxious statements are protected by the First Amendment. In order to criminalize speech that arguably advocates unlawful activity, the speech has to be a direct incitement to imminent lawless action. The key words are "direct" and "imminent," and you don't have that here. The Courts also give even wider protection to speech on controversial issues of great importance to the public (on both sides of the issue). O'Reilly has been very clever in avoiding telling anyone to do anything other than protest.

Trust me, I can't stand O'Reilly and he bears a lot more responsibility for Tiller's murder than he will ever admit. But in the long run, criminalizing even nasty, hate-filled speech is not the way to go.

Religious Hypocrisy (aka) BILLO OLIELY

OK here we go, to all that are pro life and religiously impaired. and inclined to stupidity. The Roe v WADE is established law, now I know that's a foreign concept to your mendacious cerebral matter but it is a relevant fact that you just cant seem to come to terms with, and never will.

The problem being a course is your ineptitude's in dealing with other people, of different faiths, and beliefs, who have no desire to be controlled by your religious doggma, "author included".

It Drives you nuts when the law is on the side of the victim, and it even drives me nuts to see your hypocritical mouths working overtime when you are caught in airports toe tapping, hanging around porno parlors, chasing gay men with meth in your pockets,saying lord please forgive me for I have sinned.

LIKE OLiELY,Catholic Bishops,Drug Queens" Fat Ass Lush" and or the Jones Town Groupies, Wacko Texas,Mormons who are indecently cowards and rapist's,you all are victims of your own stupefying stupidity.

Of course circumambulate your response, but that is to be expected, "what else is new".

The Bible you read from son is not anything I've ever read, and i was raised as a Southern Baptist, yea I do respect the Sanctity of Human life, but not those whom would bifurcate the meaning of it to justify their ideology.

If OLIELY was on that screen denigrating a Jew, like he was Tiller. How long do you think he would last? let alone any of your gender? not long I can assure you.

But the neat thing here, is that your fervent base of ignorance is growing smaller, as the population starts integrating more. Your Puritan base is being decimated by your own stupidity, just think how well this is going to be perceived by mainstream Christians?, look in the news fool's the people are turning against you now, and there will be no going back. "See Duke University Graduation Speech (OBAMA) for clarification"

I sincerely hope that the Bitch that perpetrated this suffers the same ignominious fate that Tiller did, only my wish is that someone does it with a Double Barreled Sixteen Gauge to his face.

Now that would make this writer wet his pants in absolute joy,Talk about Nirvana!

I live in Wichita and to say that....

O'reilly put Tiller in the public eye???? Anyone who lives in this city knows this is not true and is a slam on O'Reilly. What was done was wrong, and my hope is that the guy who killed Tiller get's the full penalty of the law, but let's be honest about the facts of this case. Tiller was one of only 3 docs in the country that did this type of abortion. He was well known in Kansas and the nation long before O'Reilly pointed him out. Let's see, we condemn a man who stands up for the rights of unborn children, including late term sustainable fetuses. And we support a man who has committed over 60,000 late term abortions. Again, I have serious issue with this crime, it was wrong, criminal and the man needs to go to jail, but at least let's get the facts straight, otherwise call it an editorial, not a journalistic article.
