Bill O'Reilly Is A Jackass

I'm sure he'll probably "name names", but whatever. Bring it on, jackass.

Here is the string of events.

Tuesday November 8, Prop I, College Not Combat, passes by almost 60% in San Francisco.

Later in the week, on his radio show, O'Reilly then invites Al Qaeda to rid the United States of our fair city by blowing it to smithereens. He maintains military recruiters have nothing to do with the war on Iraq. He barks that bringing troops home and away from the danger-zone of combat is anti-military and anti-soldier. This radio snippet is covered by the SF Chronicle on Friday, November 11 and the Board of Supervisors rightly calls for his resignation. O'Reilly claims his show is entertainment and he was being satirical.

Monday night, November 13, Todd Chretien, author of Prop I, is asked to be on the O'Reilly Factor. See Todd and everything else here, from the good people at Media Matters. Notice how O'Reilly grates on your nerves, with his voice sounding like fingernails on a chalkboard. Notice how he tries to squirm out of having a real debate when challenged to one by Todd. Notice as well that they give no time to Todd because they know if he had more air time, he'd kick their asses with his cogent points.

Read Todd's reply and demand O'Reilly live up to his own standards and submit to a live debate with Todd in San Francisco. Write him at oreilly@foxnews.com or comments@foxnews.com.

On an aside note, I must confess that Stephen Colbert with The Colbert Report does an excellent job lambasting jackasses and jackass programming like O'Reilly's. You should check it out. Although Colbert steadfastly maintains his purpose is not political and he's just doing whatever is funny, he really is being political and he has to know it. I think it's even better than the Daily Show.
