I’ve been writing newspaper columns for 15 years, writing books since 2002, and blogging since 2004. I’ve lost track of how many times the nutroots have gleefully declared my demise.
Oh, how they wish, wish, wish it were so!
The latest moonbat tempest in a teapot concerns an e-mail response I sent to readers over the weekend who have been asking about my absence from the O’Reilly Factor. I had received several hundred messages and it was wrong to keep ignoring long-time fans wondering what happened. I took the time to personally respond to each inquiry. It is an awkward situation, but I answered straightforwardly:
Thanks so much for your kind words. Much appreciated. I made the decision to quit appearing on the O’Reilly show in response to the poor handling of the Geraldo Rivera matter (in case you hadn’t heard, he threatened to spit on me because of my views about illegal immigration and his staged “apology” on The Factor was a complete farce). I won’t go into details, but please know that your support means a lot to me. You can catch me on other Fox News shows and read my daily blog posts and weekly columns at MichelleMalkin.com.
I did not plan on blogging it and making a big to-do. It is what it is. But some blabbermouth apparently forwarded the e-mail to a cable TV gossip blog. The left-o-sphere picked it up from there (interesting how all of these same blogs ignored the spitting threat in the first place), now spreading wild rumors that I’ve been fired, concocting imaginary scenarios of tearful resignations, tinfoil-rattling in hopes that there’s some other conspiratorial reason behind my decision, falsely asserting that it was somehow related to my coverage of the S-CHIP debate, etc., etc., etc.
The funniest comment by far comes from far Left zealots who couldn’t possibly believe that I would walk away from more airtime since I am, of course, such a media whore.
Two words: Stop projecting.
Continue to knock yourselves out, loons! Always glad to provide therapeutic benefits. Indeed, for many, it’s just another golden opportunity to wish out loud for my death or rape. See, for example: Digg.
Maybe you will get your wish and I will get hit by a truck someday. Until then, I’ll keep writing. You keep hatin’.
Dear Bill,
You’re so much cooler online ...

O’Reilly’s arrogance has been evident for a long time. His replies to emails pointing to his pomposity are laughed off with his smart come-backs. He ignores the messages.
Unless he has a very high level guest on his show, he barely allows others a few sentences before he breaks in and takes over with his own opinions. I view it as downright rudeness from someone whose head has grown way too big.
Where do we go on TV to find true conservatism?
.... or just check her site daily, michellemalkin.com === she is keeping tabs on shamnesty and related matters.
Usually the minute Whorealdo makes an appearance on any show we change the channel but the other night we were too slow and accidently caught part of an exchange between them. Bill tried to shut Whorealdo up over and over but Whorealdo just ignored him and kept prattling on.
Bill let him go for an extremely long time and only got a word in when Whorealdo ran out of air.
Whorealdo is very aggressive when he gets near an open microphone and the hosts just about have to wrench it out of his greasy paws to shut him up.
He seems to be dominating time on the O'Rielly show and I know it has to be costing FOX viewers.
O'Rielly should change his motto to:
"The Spin Stops Here (Except For Geraldo)"
To make matters worse, about the only time Lauri Dhue is now on for any period of time is with Geraldo, which is a despicable shame!!!!
Lauri is highly watchable but we dislike Geraldo even more than we like Lauri.
We call them "Beauty And The Beast".
Stiiiiill Going (Michelle Malkin Leaves Bill O’Reilly, Geraldo in Her Dust)....
when whore aldo comes on fox...the channel always is switched....not interested in what this lib/dem dope has to say....especially on the illegals!!!
I am STILL trying to think of the person Whoreraldo has something on in Fox.
Click on the link to Digg and soak in all the hate there. Then remember that if Hillary is elected along with a Democratic Congress, they’ll take our guns away for good. What do you think will happen to conservatives next, once the gutless weasels on the left realizes we can’t defend ourselves any more?
As a staunch supportder of O’Reilly I find myself turning His show off many many times over the last year.
Especially when the Racist Jerry Rivers is on O’Reilly is Turned off.
Rivera, A.K.A. Rivers really is a loud mouth Jerk, shame on Fox for keeping him on.
Michelle is a 'class act'..!!
Even Brit is slipping in leftist drivel. Ailes is demanding it... orders from murdoch and the beast.

Yep. Feel like i need a shower after going over there.
She watches so I don’t have to.
I heard Rivera’s apology to O’Reilly about Malkin.
I thought it was a media apology, and there’s no way ever to judge sincerity with these people, so I just left it at that.
I never really liked the venues in which Malkin appeared on OReilly, except when she was the substitute host. I don’t care much for the standard, so-called debate: “Here’s the subject. Here’s the liberal talking head viewpoint. Here’s Michelle the conservative’s viewpoint. Here’s Bill to break the tie.”
If I were looking for a truly fair media type to be the tiebreaker in discussions, it wouldn’t be OReilly. The “No Spin Zone” has become the O’Reilly Propaganda Zone.
I was amazed to discover that Geraldo, back in the ‘70’s, was the attorney for the Young Lords. The Young Lords were Puerto Rican Black Panther wannabes.
So Geraldo is truly an old radiclib.
