Bill O'Reilly's Website Investigated By Secret Service for Threats to Hillary's Life
by Mike Stark
Wed Jul 25, 2007 at 08:24:23 AM PDT

I have been informed that the FBI was called. My source tells me they rec'd a call back from the Secret Service.
An investigation of BillOReilly.com is underway.

This is very serious.

As John Aravosis http://www.americablog.com/2007/07/bill-oreillys-web-site-threatens.html reported at Americablog, Hillary Clinton's life has been threatened at Bill O'Reilly's website. People that paid to participate in his forums said,

"If Hillary wins, I will be respectful of our leader. If you could read my thoughts, I would be on the SS watch list."

As John points out, there's only one reason people are put on a Secret Servie watch list. The hatred on display at Bill O'Reilly.com is frankly shocking.

Here's another example:

If Hillary wins... my guns are loaded.

I didn't respect Stalin and I won't respect Halliary - they are cut from the same cloth.

3. A lot of people hate him but this sure ain't funny
I'd think it would be fairly simple to connect O'Lielly's inflammatory rhetoric to some of the hate posts on his web site.

2. Ruh Ro! Don't tell me a Pub finally did something that's considered
over the line? Yes I realize it's serious, but I can't help but laugh that Billo is the subject of this investigation! I don't THINK he will be able to assail the SS for partisanship!

4. Fuck you Jet Blue
Edited on Wed Jul-25-07 12:18 PM by Hawaii Hiker
First, I hope Keith calls out O'Reilly for this tonight...

That would be a great topic for a Special Comment "Right wing pundits & how they've influenced such hate"...

Oh & BTW, fuck you Jet-Blue....They pull their sponsorship from Daily KOS under pressure from an ass like O'Reilly....I sent a nasty e-mail to them last week, & I encourage all DU members to not fly Jet Blue....I told them, among other things, that I'd pay full-coach fare on Usairways, United, before I'd fly them...

16. A Trip Already Ruined...
A week before BillO began his jihad on DKos & YKos, I booked a trip to New York on Jet Blue. I'm now working on cancelling that booking and take this and all future travel business to other carriers. Yep...Screw You, Jet Blue...you spineless bastards!

5. Someone call BO and tell him we found the haters!
Turns out they are his followers. See what preaching hatred gets you, Bill? A bunch of anti-social nutcases who are too stupid to know that they hate this country.

6. Where are the moderators there?
We here at DU don't allow that kind of talk to go on as the community polices itself around here...

11. Per BillO: But when we see objectionable things, we take it off immediately.
Edited on Wed Jul-25-07 12:36 PM by MagickMuffin
Last night on the O’Reilly Factor, he labeled Daily Kos a “hate website.” His guest, Howard Wolfson — a political adviser for Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign — defended the netroots as a community of people “participating in our democracy.” O’Reilly responded by cherry-picking a few comments that were demeaning and derogatory towards Clinton, prompting Wolfson to note that O’Reilly’s own site contains similar garbage:

WOLFSON: Bill, even your website has things on it that you would find objectionable.

O’REILLY: That’s bull. Look, we know what you’re going to say because the Kos planted someone in there. But when we see objectionable things, we take it off immediately. They traffic in it.

7. Bill O'Reilly's site performs a public service
a place for nut jobs to let off steam. Before they actually did something they'd have to let their Mom's know if they'd be home for dinner.

10. Are those the worse you could come up with, I have said worse things
about the chimp.I guess I must be on the SS watch list.

Looks more like billo or HRC or both wanting to pump up support (for themselves).

12. It's just sad that two of our frontrunners will be marked for assassination..
Simply because they aren't white and male?

This is a real threat and I'm pretty sure a random Freeper will at least attempt to follow through. That's the America we live in now.

13. OK...maybe he could not help what people post but
when someone would post something on THIS or any other Democratic site the webmaster would immediately take it down and notify the authorities. I hold O'Reilly responsible for not reporting these death threats to the secret service. AND ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO THREATEN WITH DEATH.

Heck they would even let some guy in Maryland sell buttons with Impeach Bush on them. What would they have done to the guy if he threatened bodily harm.

14. And Bill recently spoke out so eloquenly against Daily Kos' hate speech
Edited on Wed Jul-25-07 01:09 PM by rocknation
which equates to Hugh Hefner speaking out against pimps. :boring:

Let's see what Bill has to say about it tonight--probably that the messages were planted by "far left" operatives!

17. Interesting that Bill never has anything to say about Free Republic
whenever he gets on his hate-site jags.

21. Of course that's what he'll claim
and then keep silent about the obvious comparison of his site to Kos, whom he compared to the Nazis.

Of course, in bill-o's world, maybe that is a good thing, since he thinks it was those innocent nazis that got massacred by vicious Americans at Malmedy.

19. Bill'O might want to clean up his own house before he opens his
mouth about "hate sites" again. Worst Person in the World once again.

22. Oh, I get it
I was listening to the radio and he was going on and on about how Daily Ko's was as bad as a Duke Cunningham site, for 'haters'. He stated there were no 'haters' at his site. The poor man is mentally ill. Like someone on this site wrote his smile looks like it hurts him. He should go back to his third rate entertainment celebrity gossip.
