Tonight, Bill O'Reilly opened the Factor with an angry rant related to yesterday's highly anticipated WikiLeaks event, during which he stated that those who leak to the "despicable" web site are "traitors" who "should be "executed." O'Reilly's full statement, inside.

Here's the rant, during which O'Reilly also went after President Obama for not making a statement related to the leak, and PFC Bradley Manning—suspected of a previous leak to WikiLeaks—who he said should be given life in prison with hard labor:

I agree with him.

I think they have something on Obama or Obama would be ending that guys espionage IMO.

None of these leaks reflect all that badly on Obamsky. In fact, the State dept cables are more likely to bolster him in the event of a Hillary challenge in 2012. It’s more likely the Wikileaks waif is Obamksy’s little guy than vice versa.

Because of his history. Ted Baxter is predictable as the seasons. The sentiment could have been this was a ‘popular whistleblower’ and Baxter would have been cheering for this guy.

Well, of course these people need the ratings, etc etc. But I don't buy the Ted Baxter label. I just figured it was professional jealously on Rush's part - and tend to think they enjoy the rivalry because it's good PR.

Bradley Manning commited TREASON and TREASON is punishable by death. Julian Assange needs to be hunted down by the FBI and quietly neutralized.

Puhlease. Baxter is so transparent it isn’t even funny, and it goes byond the label.. back to his daytime TV days he swung more than Geraldo in a “Bear” club.

This little fudgepacker Manning should be tried for treason and hanged. Cleanse the gene pool.

A conviction on each count of passing docu,ents carries a sentence of up to ten years. He could be charged with 300,000 counts. I think this destructive young fool will spend the next eighty years behind bars.
