Bran, I don't understand. Tiller did not kill babies? Nobody knew that he killed babies until Bill O'Rielly told them? And if I call you a left-wing idiot, and somebody shoots you, is it going to be my fault?

Craig Ledbetter said: Bran, I don't understand. I'll take you at your word that you don't. So I'll try to help you. Tiller did not kill babies? No. That would be murder. As I'm sure you know, Tiller practiced for 35 years and was never convicted of breaking any laws. Unless murder has been made legal in Kansas, then no, he did not "kill babies". He did, however, serve as an abortion providers, which is legal, not just in the state of Kansas, but in your entire country. Nobody knew that he killed babies until Bill O'Rielly told them? For a start, he didn't "kill babies", as I tried to help you understand above. Secondly, Bill O'Reilly lied when he back-pedaled by saying that all he did was "report" on what anti-choice groups nicknamed Tiller. If you bother to read the above, actual quotes of Bill O'Reilly's, you will see that that's a lie. He used that nickname himself, over and over again. Why are you seemingly supporting that lie? If you'd like to support him by saying it's okay to inflame millions by calling him "Tiller the Killer", that's up to you. But perhaps you could find a shred of intellectual integrity to admit that Bill O'Reilly is now lying about what he did previously? Or is that beyond you as well? And if I call you a left-wing idiot, and somebody shoots you, is it going to be my fault? Nope. But if you go on the public airwaves, speak to millions of people, night after night after night, on the most-watched show on cable "news", and compare me to Hilter, al-Qaeda, call me a murderer (which is not a fact, but a lie), tell viewers that I'm running a death mill and an extermination camp, and that I must be stopped... well, if someone then follows those instructions and stops me, by putting a bullet through my head in church, do you have any complicity in that? I'll leave that between you and your god. If you have one.

I have seen countless numbers of O'Reilly's shows - and he always pointed out that anti-abortion groups were the ones who used the phrase "Tiller the baby killer". Media Matters, as usual, is pulling stuff out of their nether regions. O'Reilly has no complicity in this murder, just as Code Pink and World Can't Wait have no complicity in the shooting death in Little Rock.

isn't it illegal to use this kind of rhetoric in public? i've had friends taken to court over less, so it really bothers me. you know, charges like "terroristic threatening?" whatever happened to that? why is it only the people that are left of center that get that kind of criminal charge pressed against them?!

Thank goodness for facts and video tape! Bill O and his employer (Murdoch) will be sued personally by the Tiller family and publicly by human rights organizations for directly inciting by their languaging and constant calls for criminal behavior the murder of another human being. Homeland Security and Bush's Patriot Act should be all over this right now. Yesterday Turner went beyond the edge of free speech and was arrested; it won't be long before the "Three Stooges: Glenn, Bill, and Rush" will also be arrested for carrying their hate message beyond free speech and into the category of domestic terrorism.

As an aside, Bill O's lies about his involvement in this crime show us what this man is really made of - he's a spineless wimp who will not stand behind his commentary. The tapes (some 38+?) of his inciting people to violence against this man personally will become prima facie evidence in Bill O's trial. Maybe the arrest of Turner or the forthcoming arrest of Bill O (and Rupert?) for the actual murder of this man will put this wingnut fringe on serious notice that the american people will no longer tolerate their brand of baseless hatred in our public arena.

And, it goes without saying, that Rush's comment comparing our president to Al Quaida is "treason" at it's finest.

I don't think anyone is saying O'Reilly is responsible for the murder of Tiller. The link between O'Reilly and other right wing commentators to right wing extremist gunmen is rather obvious. Pointing out such a link doesn't equal responsibility for murder. But it can explain it.

Damail is a living example of Bu$hCo-triggered mental illness

continuing on into the foreseeable future. There are several million of these zombies

in our country. I'd love to talk to him alone for awhile.

In-person, no witnesses.

Isn't Bill-O the Loofa-Lovin' Clown always demonizing the loonie-left for inflammatory hate speech...against him?

Hate speech O'Rielly has coming regularly at him, he's gotten the old fashioned way..he(cough)..earned it. WILLIAM COLBY, former CIA director: "The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media." JOHN STOCKWELL, former CIA official, and author: "It is the function of the CIA to keep the world unstable, and to propagandize and teach the American people to hate, so we will let the Establishment spend any amount of money on arms."

Hey, I'm sure he was only reporting, not saying it himself! It's that kind of quality reportage that won him his Peabody, right? Oh wait, he never said that, either.

This is solid documentation of Bill O'Reilly's deceit. Is anyone organizing boycotts of O'Reilly's (and FOX's) broadcast sponsors? I certainly won't support any businesses that sponsor incitements to murder.

We understand why Fox "News" is willing to let him say any irresponsible thing he wants, but what of the newspapers who run his syndicated garbage? Do they have no responsibility to do any fact checking? How about his column's syndicator, Creators Syndicate? Do they have any responsibility to fact check their authors' work before they send it out to be published in hundreds of papers around the country? ********************************************** With all due respect, Brad, where have you been for the past eight years? Have you seen some of the tripe which the mainstream media has passed off as the facts? The majority of so-called news outlets within the mainstream media made little or no effort to challenge or fact-check most of what George W. Bush said during his Presidency --- so what makes you think they'll do anything different with regard to Bill O'Reilly? Liberal media, my backside...
