Now it's so bad that I spend an enormous amount of money protecting myself against evil," declares Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly, who says his enemies have become so vicious that he's mulling retiring from his top-rated TV show.
He has also hired bodyguards to protect himself.
The liberal media establishment is mostly behind the rising tide of hatred because "it can't marginalize me," O'Reilly told Newsday's Verne Gay in a rare interview published Tuesday.
Gay writes: "Almost exactly a year since he settled a sexual harassment lawsuit with former Fox News producer Andrea Mackris, the embattled life of O'Reilly has become an increasingly strange and scary one."
O'Reilly told Newsday that he receives death threats and has to hire bodyguards. He can't check into hotels with his family. People on the street take his picture with their cell phones and then post it on the Web.
"Who wants to live like that?" he complains

Violent leftwing nuts loose on the street.
I believe the shark has bitten Mr. O'Reily.
"People on the street take his picture with their cell phones and then post it on the Web."
Seems kinda thin-skinned. He's a public figure for gosh sakes. What does he expect? Bush has his picture taken every 15 seconds on a slow day. You don't hear him complaining.
Hey Bill, move to Florida (I'm sure Fox can let you broadcast from there), fire your bodyguards, get yourself a concealed carry permit and announce on air that you have it and will use it - end of problem!!!!
What do you mean? He's looking out for us. LOL. See ya, Bill. Don't let the door hit ya in the ass...
The viciousness that is "out there" today astonishes me. I wouldn't want to be a celebrity of any type in this day and age,especially if I had kids.
Bill O'Reilly is hardly the conservative stalwart that the political Left makes him out to be. The Left just cannot stand a World where there are people who disagree with them.
I'd love to see Rush as his replacement. Runners up either Dennis Preger, Michael Medved or Hugh Hewett.
Listening to O'Riley is like listening to paint dry.
Phone sex with the wrong woman.?
Oh please don't retire Bill.(/sarcasm)
Used to watch him when he first started but like many he's become so full of himself he thinks he's more important than the stories he covers.
No loss here. Have a happy retirement.
They have moved him more to the middle...
