Bill O'Reilly.com Threatens Hillary Clinton's Life
By John Amato Tuesday Jul 24, 2007 5:01pm
Last night, Bill O'Reilly uselessly scolded Hillary Clinton's Communications Director for the lack of comment moderation on Daily Kos:
O'REILLY: Every respectable blog in the country does not permit this hatred. Even.
WOLFSON: Bill, even your website has things on it that you would find objectionable.
O'REILLY: That's bull. Look, we know what you're going to say because the Kos planted someone in there. But when we see objectionable things, we take it off immediately. They traffic in it.
BillO tried to steamroll Wolfson on this point in the transcript because he knew there are outrageous comments on his site and tried to spin it---but this one!...Well...Falafel-Boy, it's time to heal thyself. John at AmBlog picked up this:
BillOReilly.com: "If [Hillary] wins... my guns are loaded"
Note that the person has written over 1,000 posts on O'Reilly's Web site. That means he or she isn't new, he or she isn't someone who just came over from DailyKos in order to impersonate a BillOReilly.com member (as O'Reilly ridiculously claimed last night). It's a BillOReilly.com regular, and Bill clearly has had no issues with this person posting on his site in exchange for cold hard cash.
A death threat to a Democratic presidential contender and former First Lady? That sounds like a job for Fox Security...the Secret Service. Or maybe we can get Mitt Romney's phony Badge Patrol to pitch in...
Pastor Dan asks Billo WWJD. (h/t to Nicole for helping with the post)

john coltrane!!!! a love supreme!!!
Watch out!
Bill-O's going to have Fox Security shoot it out with the Secret Service.
Don't let them take you alive, Bill!
How did people as stupid as this (nearly) take over our country.
Man, Lady Karma can be a bitch for billO. Just last week he's pissing on Kos and now up walks Ms Karma and slaps his ass hard.
I bet that guy who made that threat to Hillary will be attending this event:
Republican fundraiser to feature machine guns
BOSTON (Reuters) - A planned Republican fundraiser in New Hampshire aims to promote gun ownership in America by letting supporters fire powerful military-style weapons — from Uzi submachine guns to M-16 rifles.
The Manchester Republican Committee is inviting party members and their families to a “Machine Gun Shoot” where, for $25, supporters can spend a day trying out automatic weapons, said organizer Jerry Thibodeau.
“It’s a fun day. It’s a family day,” said Thibodeau of the August 5th event. “It’s quite exciting.”

Bill and workwife Malkin will memory hole this. Par for the culture warrior course
Poor O'Falafel. He's probably just frustrated, since he no longer can go sexually harassing his producers...
Shadow @ 5:
Thanks for this post! I passed it along to some friends.
This is a death threat? I must have missed the part where it said, "I will kill her."
Don't misrepresent things. It undercuts your credibility.
JUST SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
How dare you contradict Bill'O? He will hit you with his falafel
stick of retribution, you culture war traitor!
With all due respect, finding "hatred" in anything related to O'Liely is going to be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.
Open your big mouth wider, O'Liely, and try and get both feet in.
WashStateBlue @ 10:
LOL.
JUST SHUT UP!
So does anyone know how much MORE traffic has been sent KOS's way because Bonehead O'Reilly has started another flame war. I actually started watching Olbermann MORE because of Billy's dribble. What part of free publicity doesn't this moron not get?
Is it safe for me to assume that BillO has his own staff members put those comments on dKos and other websites? I doubt that he would set aside the work-hours to actually have researchers look for those types of comments.
Way to go Billy BOY. If you open your mouth a tiny bit wider, I just know you won't have any trouble getting that other foot in.
Seems logical to me that if an American citizen, and father of an 8 year old, walks up to VP Cheney and simply expresses an opinion about his policy and walks away but then gets arrested in front of his child and hauled away by the Secret Service, that when Bill O-Reilly threatens the life of a Presidential candidate (front-runner) and former First Lady, that he (Billo) should be arrested (at the least) and imprisoned and fined heavily.
What's wrong with this picture..

You're welcome! Here's the link to The Manchester Republican Committee website:

Shooting Event Planned for Aug. 5
The MRC is sponsoring its annual shooting event. This year it's a Machine Gun Shoot at the Pelham Fish and Game Club Sunday, Aug. 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The club is located at 100 Simpson Mill Rd. in Pelham.
And after all, BillO IS a liar, as seen on
O'Reilly's actual web site policy?
BillOReilly.com will not be held liable for any user activity on the message boards. We do not actively monitor user-submitted content.
Hi. Murtha's proposing some kind of legislation to actually get us out of Iraq. It's on every page I open (yahoo, excite, msn, etc...). I came here to see what this was actually about. Anybody know?
It's still hard to believe that "people" are still pathetic enough to defend this loser.
I really hate to do this, but the post in question is not a specific threat on Hillary's life. What the brave 101st Keyboarder actually writes is, "My guns are loaded for the revolt".
So actually, it's a post advocating armed overthrow of the government. Which is what Bill was accusing Kos of a couple of days ago.
Oops! John, can you erase the post before this one. A single visit to their site from your blog will tip them off that we're spreading the news!
because the Kos planted someone in there
BWUAAAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
Talk about projection!!!!
C. Montgomery Burns @ 8:
Can't say as I've ever been but it's been going on for a number of years. Minus the Rethugs that is! More of a progressive thing I think. Adding them to the mix must be something new. And sounds like a recipe for disaster since NHers don't take kindly to fascists. Or maybe it's a different event since the one I know about is big guns not Uzis and M-16s as in this article.
Terrible @ 24:
OPPS!!!!!! Obviously not the same event as I've heard of in the past!!
Terrible @ 23:
A thief will always suspect others of being thieves. A liar expects others to lie. Wouldn't put it past BOR to have some one post something that he could find objectionable.
I have to say that Crooks and Liars has increasingly been focusing on petty and trivial matters. Enough with the O'Reilly fixation already. Yes, he is a bonehead, as are most of the talkers in the noise machine, and they say boneheaded stuff meant to distract. Why take the bait so often? There are enough people appearing in the media who are articulately and thoughtfully addressing important issues and trends that affect our lives and they sure could use the amplification that sites like this one offer, yet you seem obsessed with focusing on these rodeo clowns day after day after day. C&L, and Olbermann for that matter, should just ignore people like O'Reilly instead of upping his exposure on a regular basis. It seems too personal, and most of us frankly couldn't give a shit. The more I see links to O'Reilly, the less likely I am to return to this site. The more I see you trumpet another yawn inducing democrat give some mediocre performance on a sunday show and hail it as a "smackdown", the less credibility you have in my eyes.
You show clips of democrats getting walked all over on a TV show and claim that they "schooled" someone. There are very few people who have deserved that kind of kudos that you seem to hand out so frequently (Michael Moore vs. Blitzer comes to mind...he really showed us how its done. Cliff Schecter is another who knows how to play the game, and that Congresswoman Wasserman, she knows how to smack down a conservative.
C&L...it's time for you all to refocus. You're all over the place.
Watch them retreat into Rush Limbaugh's perpetual excuse -- that death threat is just a JOKE, for crying out loud! And the fact that it got their panties in a twist is just proof of how humorless those Dems are!
Hah hah hah!
Now ... don't you go criticizing the President, though. That's treason.
Wolfson left O'Reilly blazing red-assed in that segment as anyone who watched it knows. Now that it has been pointed out that Billo made a threat against Hillary Clinton strap yourselfs in and prepare for another journey through, "I was taken out of context"ville. A place where plenty big mouthed politcos like Billo reside.
Would it surprise anyone that Bildo uses his own subjective criteria in deciding what is objectionable?
No I didn't think so.
Bill isn't trying to shut down Kos or any other site. He is trying to get said sites to lay off him and delete negative comments about him. His next assault will be on the Far-Left YouTube.
Screw Oreilly. and his Loofa.
Sorry to bring the hate to your site, John.
BOR (regarding his blog): But when we see objectionable things, we take it off immediately.
Fine print from his blog: We do not actively monitor user-submitted content.
Another lie from a lying liar.
Hilarious that O'Lielly is totally losing his perverted mind. What a moron.
Falafal Man is just plain sick. Ever heard of projection, Billo??? You embody the word HATE. I hope Keith knocks this one right back at ya, you vicious gasbag.
If you cut Bill in half you could count the layers of greatness. Continue to spread the good word, we will soon have the FEMA camps ready for Liberals, Libertarians, constitutionalists and Democrats. Soon Bush will be able to continue his leadership under the great Dick Cheney. Someday I hope we can cleans the country of the "Freedom Filth". Remember you are "Free if you agree" and will be much happier.
While I agree with the spirit of what Joe VeeTee is saying (I've been accused of even being an "apologist" here on C&L, thank you very much), I think ultimately what all these mini-focii (focuses?) on triviality are doing is contributing to an eventual reaching of a tipping point. So as much as I wet burp every time I see another BillO or other lameass post, I remind myself that it all will hopefully culminate in reaching that tipping point.
What makes me really vomit, however, is the sorry folks who think its soooo friggin cute to yell "Frist!".
Joe TeeVee sounds like a huge concern troll. If he's correct, then why is the site so incredibly popular??? Michael Moore and Keith Olbermann most definitely ROCK!!!
Mr. TeeVee...go back to reading Pajamas Media, and watching your favorite program...Faux Noise!
I hate to carp on about this, but as a sub-editor I'm a born pedant, and I can't believe nobody else is saying anything.
Please take the time to actually read what this drooling, fear-driven simpleton actually wrote, if only for the spectacular, "every shot's a miss" mangling of grammar:
Astroboomer - "If she wins which hopefully she won't. My guns are loaded for the revolt are yours??"
This is clearly NOT an assassination threat on Hillary, but a more general call for violent uprising in the US if Hillary wins (I suppose that might ultimately involve Hillary's murder, but still). I find it a little strange that C&L would choose to cut the quote so misleadingly, especially when the post's actual intention is THE EXACT SAME THING that BillO was condemning a few days ago.
While I'm here, I also love the post by "tc" that says he will not be respectful of Hillary "AND I WILL NOT FIGHT FOR HER EITHER!" Yeah tc, because I just bet you're typing that post from the front lines in Iraq...
Joe VeeTee @ 27:
So you're saying we ignore Bill O'Reilly and the lies. If you ignore them, people will think it's true. So it has to be defended. If you are accused of being a child molester will you ignore it? Think back to John Kerry and his Presidential bid. What hurt him the most? The Swiftboat attacks. Why did this hurt him the most? Because he tried to ignore it and not take it head on.
So if we ignore the bitch's attack on the Kos people will think they are Nazi's and the left will suffer over this projection because they will be seen as mean, nasty and hateful.
No, you have to address it and prove that it is the right who are liars, mean and hateful. This has to do with getting the right person elected and not policy.
harriett @ 37:
Wow, way to raise the level of discourse! As I (hope) you realize, popularity is in no way a reliable indicator of value.
Just Me @ 12:
Thats it - CUT THE MIC! CUT THE MIC!
I feel we should focus on Bill's greatness and remove any dissenting opinions.
Oh cummon guys. I despise O'Reilly, but without further context for what this commenter said, this seems more likely to be some guy wanting to defend himself for if Hillary wins and uses Bush's Patriot acts to declare martial law in the wake of some event. This was not a cool story.
*rolls eyes*
I hate the pig too, but this is probably taken as far out of context as all the crap billo flung at kos. Clearly he means rhetorical guns, and this cannot reasonably be construed as a death threat by anyone. As much as I would love to see bill orally dragged off by the secret service, let's grow up a little.
sexual predator.
Karma.
Just think of all the wingnuts heads exploding when Hilllary wins.
She will have the same power as w.
I would be nice to the Clintons.
Geez.
why are democrats still dignifying bill-o's show by appearing on it?
dems should band together and boycott the fox opinion machine. just stop accepting offers to do their shows. they clearly have an agenda, and by acknowledging them, they are legitimized. stop giving them a seat at the table, when they do not deserve one.
let them be what they truly are - an irrelevant tabloid propaganda channel.
J @ 44:
What leads you to believe that this is merely rhetorical? The wild talk on the far right about taking out abortion doctors has resulted in shootings several times in the last 20 years.
Consider, also, the long history of violence against leftist activists and liberal politicians -- like shootings, church burnings, beatings, etc. We haven't had as much recently, but it wasn't long past when we had many of them. And there have been several recent murders of federal judges, plus the former U.S. Attorney for the state of Washington. And I don't need to belabor the militia movement of the early 1990's, or the Christian Identity extremists, or some of the other scary groups that are out there.
When the real nuts on the right start trading dire talk about getting their guns, that can not be brushed of as "rhetoric." Some of them may mean it, and others may get talked into it.

So what if Bill threatens Hillary? If you haven't noticed, Hillary is insured up the wazzoooooo.

Keep up the great work C&L. If we don't hold Bill O to task, Who Will? We need honesty in media and if we can't get it from The MSM then blogs must fill the void. BillO compared The Kos to the Nazis, I would submit that neocons run on and preach hate, fear and propaganda as there #1 issue. Rethugs are in danger of losing all power in Government, no wonder they are attacking anyone who calls them on their bullshit lies.
The quote - to me at least - represents a clear (yet implicit) threat against Mrs Clinton if she contests - and wins - the Presidential election next year.
In any event, there needs to be a full investigation on the following grounds:
1. Threatening a public officical (as she is a serving Senator); and
2. Try to subvert the electoral process by forcing (a) her out of the reace and (b) undule influencing voters to vote for the opponent(s).
Someone needs to tell Bill-0 his boss, Murdock, meets with Hillary every week to discuss campaign strategy.
I don’t think this country can afford for the liberal blogosphere to keep their mouths shut about O’Reilly, Coulter, Hannity and the rest. It’s hard to believe that after what happened to Kerry, Gore and Pelosi, and what they are currently trying with Harry Reid and Kos, any progressive/liberal would want us to take the high ground by keeping our mouths shut. FOX has the highest viewer ship for a reason, they are believed! Their ratings are coming down because the truth is getting out on the internet. Anyone with a computer can go to Kos and find out for themselves that what O’Reilly says is a bunch of bullshit. Sure there are posters that are over the top, but it’s certainly not exclusive to liberal sites. Liberals are not use to fighting in the gutter but apparently that’s where the people who have tried to take over this country reside.

Keith Olbermann hold Bill-O accountable every sing night on Countdown.
Bill is pathetic.

oops, typo, it's single.
UFB.....This guy is such a hypocrite that it makes me want to vomit....

In a sane country, Bill would be so marginalized because of his hypocrisy that you'd have to listen to him on CB radio. In a sane country.
Keep after him. Sooner or later he's going to do, say, or have someone do or say something for him, that will be too stupid and too despicable even for his facile followers.
Bill O’Reilly.com is now a terrorist's hang out. If he thinks that his is not responsible for his user's content, he is wrong. He is going to either staff the site with people who will protect his interests or shut down the site. This being said, Mr. O’Reilly has been caught not being intimately knowledgeable about the happenings on Bill O’Reilly.com, yet Mr. O’Reilly has the naivety and audacity to broadcast a slam against a Website that places more emphasis on every aspect of it's presentation and message, regardless of partisan loyalty.
He is just such a vile human being.
Billpuppies @ 14:
He probably gives his staff members a choice: either he gets to rub falafel on their private parts, or they have to seed DKos with drivel.
As for the comment "if Hillary wins...my guns are loaded", that was probably Billo himself posting to his own blog pseudonymously. Come to think of it, there are plenty of other loons on his site, not just Billo.
Rave On Madman.
Greg @ 39:
If we ignore attacks, we will be doing what happened in 2000 a la 'swiftboat'
Just some of the hate-mongering quotes (and just batshit insane conspiracy theories Billo himself is famous for) on billoreilly.com
Bill O’REILLY should be arrested for homicidal ideas
this guys is psychotic and needs treatment
here is the point....lufa boy is a sexual predator, who believes that child abuse victims actually enjoy being ass raped
hey billo....put that quote on your fuckin show
Bokonon @ 49:
Fine, now show me where any of that applies to billo, or are you suggesting that someone could be accused of a crime just because someone who shares some of their views has committed that crime?
Funny how people say ignore the O'Really's and horse-face Annie.
That's what Germany did when the came for the unionists, the gays, the communists, the jews, and then finally came for them and there was no one left to protest.
OK, as vile as O'Reilly absolutely is, I think the "liar" here is C&L. That poster did not threaten Hillary's life, any more literally than any number of C&L or KOS posters have wished various physical indignities on various rightwing loons. It's called exaggerated rhetoric, and you can't clutch your pearls over it only when one side does it. Does that make me a "concern troll" or whatever?
Because it's well known how necessary it is to have a machine gun to shoot fish.
Them fish, they NEEDED killin'
gullycat @ 3:
If you can answer that, you'll be eligible for quite a prize....
how can anyone take seriously this arrogant, moron and mediocre "journalist Bill O'Reilly? These evil/racist "commentators" like Bill, ugly (and rabbit-like teeth ) political whore Michelle Malkin, Ann Coultier, etc are doing nothing but hurting their own party with these bahaviors. I can't wait for Hillary to take over...so I can see Mr. O'Reily outcrying for help..
whats said is that you have to be a premium member to get into the blogs so obvioulsy this person that hates bill is one to see whats in the blogs. who says another person that hates bill isnt in there and that they posted this.
Bill O's Bloviatinge and Kool-Aid that is one clever man.
Shutting of mic's is nothing new for Bill O, he's always been a jerk.
I wonder if he has a large monitor so he can see his big explode each time someone disagrees with him before he unplugs the mic.
One can only hope.
“If [Hillary] wins… my guns are loaded”
Bring it on big boy.
