O'REILLY INVITES AL QAEDA TO ATTACK SAN FRANCISCO

From Media Matters courtesy of Eschaton:

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.

Apparently what's got the big butthole so angry is a voter initiated resolution that was recently passed in San Francisco calling for high schools to keep military recruiters off campus, which, I believe, is quite a sensible thing to do in this day and age. So O'Reilly, in usual form, starts freaking out and calling for terrorists to blow up the city. And San Franciscans are, understandably, pissed off. Generally, O'Reilly says all sorts of nutty, destructive things, but this is as over the top as I can ever remember him being. I mean, really, whose side is he on, anyway?


The landmark O'Reilly would have destroyed: Coit Tower
