Once you've disarmed honest citizens and evicted the military, what do you do for an encore?
Well, one San Francisco supervisor thinks you try going after the host of the #1 cable show in America.
Three days after the election, San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly told a CBS television affiliate that he planned on introducing a resolution demanding that Fox News executives fire Bill O'Reilly.
What had O'Reilly done to put the supervisor in such a snit? He expressed his outrage at the city's proposition to ban public schools from allowing military recruiters from public school campuses.
On his radio show, O'Reilly suggested that San Francisco should not get any federal funds. "If al-Qaida comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it," said O'Reilly.
"We're going to say [to the terrorists], 'Look, every other place in America is off-limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower, go ahead,'" said "The Factor" host.
"I was outraged," Daly huffed. "To green-light terrorist attacks and violence shows a lot of hate, not a lot of humanity. It's un-American."
The 210-foot Coit Tower O'Reilly referred to was built with funds left to the city by philanthropist Lillie Hitchcock Coit.
Because of Coit's admiration for the firefighters who had fought the 1906 earthquake blazes, many believe the tower was designed in the shape of a fire hose nozzle, although other theories abound as to what the tower represents.
Daly claims that San Francisco firefighters are fuming over O'Reilly's remarks. "To choose that target, given the context of bravery of firefighters on September 11, is a doubly harsh message from Bill O'Reilly," Daly said.
Daly was the prime sponsor of the San Francisco anti-gun initiative and appeared earlier in November at a rally with Cindy Sheehan to protest the Bush administration.
If Daly was under the impression that O'Reilly was going to take the comments sitting down, he was sorely mistaken.
"I'm from New York," O'Reilly said on his radio show. "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."
The Left Coast Report believes Daly has as much chance of getting O'Reilly fired as Pat Robertson has of getting elected mayor of San Francisco.
Hey Chris Daly, put some ice on it.
The same an be said for sticking it to the 2nd Amendment and military recruiters!
That would be so sweet!
I'm sure O'Reilly is dancing the jig.
You can't buy this kind of PR!
"To choose that target, given the context of bravery of firefighters on September 11, is a doubly harsh message from Bill O'Reilly,"
And what about the message you, miss daly, sent to our soldiers with your idiotic ban of recruiting on campus...huh..what a fool!!!!
Savage must be seething with envy.
Yeah, like the comrades in SF are big part of the Fox audience demographic. /sarc
I want to be 20 yrs younger.
Hey, now that's a win/win for me! If O'Reilly had half a brain...well, he'd have half a brain.
Every time I see the words "San Francisco supervisor" I know something wacky and bizarre is being discussed.
Chris Daly is a total idiot. Occasionally, I would watch the board meetings on cable access and he would always be yelling with drool coming down the side of his mouth. San Francisco looks great on post cards, but the city is run down and disgusting...thanks to great leadership like his. Chris Daly should be fired.
So what are they going to do? Shoot him? HA! They banned guns! Bunch of nimrods!
"To green-light terrorist attacks and violence shows a lot of hate..."
Oh, I guess Al Queda was just waiting for O'Reilly's final OK.
....you can't.. always get... what you waaannnnt....
Doogle
The six people in SF who watch Fox are seething......
"I've got a novel idea, how about San Franfreako getting booted from the US, AND O'Reilly retires to bloviate in France or somewhere else.
That would be so sweet!"
A Solomonic solution, and not a bad one.
The nice thing about San Francisco is that the ladies will buy the drinks when they learn that you are straight. Beautiful city too, but that's all the good.
