More Froth from the Fringe

So, why is Bill O'Reilly so upset that he's inviting Al Qaeda to attack San Francisco? So, why is Bill O'Reilly so credible he's given his own show to say shit like this?

O'REILLY: Hey, you know, if you want to ban military recruiting, fine, but I'm not going to give you another nickel of federal money. You know, if I'm the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, "Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead."

And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.


Ooooh, talk about poking a stick in a hornet's nest! Despite all the fury unleased on poor old Bill, he stands by his original invitation to terrorists to come to San Francisco.

As a result, San Francisco city supervisor Chris Daly is calling for FOX News to fire O'Reilly.

And Coit Tower that O'Reilly suggested as their target? Ironically, it's a monument erected and dedicated to the firemen of that city.

"To choose that target, given the context of bravery of New firefighters on Sept. 11th, is doubly harsh message from Bill O’Reilly,” Daly said.

San Francisco's mayor is was upset also, saying the proposition passed by voters Tuesday doesn't "mean that people in San Francisco are Anti-military. He says that people just have concerns about what he calls predatory recruiting." (© MMV, CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved.)

Dada reminds us terrorism comes cloaked in many different robes. O'Reilly's happens to be an American flag.

Dada, I'm insulted that O'Reilly didn't sic terrorists on Santa Cruz. What are we, chopped liver? Our city council, at the request of its constituents, has twice written to Congress to request that they impeach George "Pants on Fire" Bush.

What do we have to do to get O'Reilly's attention- throw a loofah party?
