SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Supervisor Chris Daly is firing back at Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly for comments he made on his radio show Wednesday that encouraged al-Qaida to "blow up" Coit Tower.

O'Reilly reacted to San Franciscans' approval of Proposition I, which discourages military recruiters on public high school and college campuses.

He advised President George W. Bush to react by withdrawing any military protection for the city. "...If al-Qaida 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," O'Reilly said.

Daly responded on the KRON 4 Morning News, "Coit Tower's a monument to San Francisco's firefighters. They put out the fires in San Francisco after the great quake. American heroes -- they were there on Sept. 11 and now you want al-Qaida to blow up Coit Tower? Give us a break. You are out of line." ...."

O'Reilly's comments were over the top, but nothing compared to voter approval of Proposition I.

I lived in San Francisco and I am 100% sure that Chris Daly is mentally retarded. Daly is one of the reasons that city smells like piss and sh*t.

Let's find something else to comment upon.

Media Matters got this ball rolling, and I will bet you a steak dinner they took it completely out of context.

> Supervisor Chris Daly is firing back ...

Translation: how dare you identify the obvious unintended
consequences of our fair city's blatently anti-American
posture.

Actually, it would be very fitting for the DOD to immediately close all recruiting offices, and every military installation in and around San Fran. Then watch Nancy Pelosi have a hissy-fit...

I tolerated Oreilly sometimes because he said out loud on his show, a lot of what I am thinking .

Then I saw his interview (love fest) with Mary Mapes and decided Bill O'Reilly is just another hack.

San Francisco is still an American city (well barely), and any bomb going off would be a victory for the terrorists. I agree O'Reilly's comments were over the top.

Chris Daly hates this country (the freak in the sunglasses)

Daly is a worthless piece of sh*t.

Daly is a worthless piece of sh*t.

Just posted an article I found at the blog site News Busters related to this.

What we all know on this forum: Liberalism doesn't work in practice or in principle. And when some of their policies get shown the light of day, this becomes even more clear and evident.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Good clarification. I bet O'Reilly addresses this flap on his
program.

[asp1]

LOL! Yes, I can see that! San Francisco is a beautiful city it is a shame that it is such a nest of leftist vipers.

[Senator Goldwater]

Good for O'Reilly for properly attacking anti-Americanism in San Francisco.

The media and the leftists need more of this. A lot more.

"BUSH KEEPS S.F. AT BAY
President hasn't participated in 75-year tradition of visiting city -- and he has no plans to do so"

And America-hating, terrorist-supportering a-holes like Chris Daly are the reason why.

I had to travel through San Francisco during the return from my 2nd Vietnam tour -

It's 36 years later and I'm still of the mind that it wouldn't break my heart one little bit if the entire city fell into the sea.

Many of its citizens claim not to be part of the United States -- I don't know about that, but most of them don't DESERVE to be part of the United States.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I wouldn't visit SF either. Most of the people there didn't vote for President Bush anyway. They don't represent his base and he has no good reason to go into the dark pit of liberalism anyway.

[popdonnelly]

San Francisco can't keep U.S. military recruiters out of the city. Several States already tried seceding from the Union. Didn't work, as I recall. But as history is no longer being taught, it's not surprising that the people of San Francisco don't know this.

[John Jorsett]

I don't think that San Fran needs the military for protection anyway. They have a police force, and they'd be the line of defense against a terrorist attack, not military patrols. However, I'm sure S.F. would scream bloody murder at the loss of jobs if the feds pulled all DoD work out of the city. That's what would hurt them most, the damage to their tax base. You can't run a socialist paradise without lots of high-paid workers to loot tax.

Ah yes, O'Loudmouth the hypocrite. Having a Michael Savage moment. Trying to become a beat-the-chest conservative to regain his audience.

Stick to being a Rockefeller populist, BOR.
