"Bill O’Reilly’s jihad against Dr. George Tiller"

Jed Lewison writes:

Since 2005, Bill O’Reilly has waged jihad against Dr. George Tiller, dedicating 29 segments of his show to demonizing and dehumanizing Tiller, who he invariably called "Tiller the baby killer."

As you can see from these video clip samplings of O’Reilly’s holy war, you don’t have to actually pull the trigger to help sponsor terrorism...

Also see Salon Magazine, which concludes:

O'Reilly didn't tell anyone to do anything violent, but he did put Tiller in the public eye, and help make him the focus of a movement with a history of violence against exactly these kinds of targets (including Tiller himself, who had already been shot). In those circumstances, flinging around words like "blood on their hands," "pardon," "country club" and "judgment day" was sensationally irresponsible.

Can someone please explain to me how Bill O'Reilly isn't encouraging domestic, right-wing terrorism and murder?

If it weren't Bill O'Reilly and Faux News we were talking about, this would be almost unbelievable. Sadly, in the warped world of people like O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, etc., it's par for the course.

Why Does Bill O'Reilly Hate Appalachia?

I thought Appalachia was what right wingers like to call the "REAL America." So, why does Bill O'Reilly hate Appalachia and its people - the people that Jim Webb writes about in "Born Fighting" - so much? Here is some of what O'Reilly had to say:

I submit to you that the culture in Appalachia harms the children almost beyond repair... There's really nothing we can do about it,” O'Reilly told Sawyer.

She had a different view, of course. She said, “The great opportunity is the information economy... These kids are as smart as the kids in India.”

“Sure,” O'Reilly agreed. “But their parents are screwed up. That's the thing... Kids get married at 16 and 17. Their parents are drunks. I'm generalizing now. (Gee, ya think?) There's a lot of meth. There's a lot of irresponsibility. There's fear to go. Look, if I'm born in Appalachia, the first chance I get, I go to Miami. Because that's where the jobs are. But they stay there. And the cycle of poverty for 200 years – boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And I don't want to sound hopeless about it but I think it IS hopeless.”

[...]

...“I gotta tell you, people have to help themselves, you know? They have to wise up and they have to see that there's a culture of poverty there, a culture of ignorance there. And you either leave or you try to improve it any way you can.”

Imagine if a Democrat or - gasp! - a "liberal" had said this? The boys (and they're mostly boys) at Faux News would be going NUTS, talking about how this PROVES they hate America, blah blah blah. So, what's the reaction when Bill O'Reilly stereotypes all parents in Appalachia as a bunch of irresponsible drunks, immersed in a "culture of ignorance?" {cue sound of crickets chirping...]

P.S. When is the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV) leadership going to condemn Bill O'Reilly for slandering an important region of our Commonwealth?!? Imagine if Nancy Pelosi had said this; RPV chairman Jeff Frederick would be going nuts!
