Dodd did say it was on his show, which I believe it was.
O’Reilly blamed it on Media Matters and said Oh, you got it from them so it is not true.
MM actually has a clip of Bill saying EXACTLY what Dodd accused him of saying.
Good to remember. If Media Matters ever proves something about anyone, it is therefore not true. Huh? LOL

From the November 8 (2005) broadcast of Fox News' The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:
O'REILLY: Hey, you know, if you want to ban military recruiting, fine, but I'm not going to give you another nickel of federal money. You know, if I'm the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, "Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead."
And if Al Qaeda 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.
The 210-foot Coit Tower was dedicated in 1933 and contains a museum and murals that depict working life in 1930s California.
Disclaimer: Media Matters generally stinks IMO.
Amazing.
My gosh...O'Reilly is more self-destructive than I thought
