Conservative Broadcaster Bill OReilly is making no apologies for his inflammatory comments about San Francisco.
"I'm from New York, OReilly said on the radio Friday. There are dozens of people in my neighborhood, on Long Island, who are dead because of 9/11, and you people are telling me you're not going to allow military recruiting out there. Hey, it's serious, and I think you guys need a wake-up call."
OReilly is upset about the citys proposition discouraging public schools from allowing military recruiters on campus. On his national radio show Tuesday, he said San Francisco should not get a nickel of federal funds.
"And if al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it, he said. 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.'"
On Friday, San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly told CBS 5 that he is taking action against OReilly by introducing a resolution demanding that Fox News executives fire the conservative host.
"I was outraged," Daly said. To green light terrorist attacks and violence shows a lot of hate, not a lot of humanity. It's un-American."
Daly says that San Francisco firefighters are livid over OReillys remarks because Coit Tower was built as a monument to their profession.
"To choose that target, given the context of bravery of New firefighters on Sept. 11th, is doubly harsh message from Bill OReilly, Daly said.
Mayor Gavin Newsom says the proposition does not mean that people in San Francisco are Anti-military. He says that people just have concerns about what he calls predatory recruiting.
That's no surprise,EVERY show on MSNBC fails miserably!
" Scarborough seems to be doing fairly okay."
Really??? I thought he, like every other show on the MSDNC, is in last place in his time slot. Maybe that is "fairly ok" by MSDNC standards.
Interesting, I hadn't heard anything like that.
I don't know about frog tunnels, but I hear they like to put gerbils through tunnels!
Bill O'Reilly has opposed the ACLU and questioned Rev. Jesse Jackson's finances and is actively opposed to pedophiles - that apparently makes him a conservative. Shows how corrupt and confused the MSM is. I would not label either O'Reilly of President Bush as conservative.
With O'Reilly's high ratings, there is no chance of him being fired.
"I wuth outraged, thimply outraged!" Daly said.
Mr. Daly, I propose that the government remove any and all miltary related functions in S.F.
Furthermore, and federal functions should also be witheld from the Bay area. That includes BATF, FBI etc.
As far as supporting our troops, I think your blowing smoke up you know where.
I think O'Rielly has it right.
Agree :)
Who is this 'Keyes'?
MSDNC. Perfect name :)
It's nice to see the Leprechaun rediscover his balls.
Right!
i can't stand O'Reilly myself, but your proposal sounds excruciatingly awful... (imo)
