Sure, I'll play along. Bill O'Reilly is possibly a terrorist sympathizer. This conclusion is based on the words out of his own mouth on his November 8 show, as follows:

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.

B.O. was critical of a ballot measure, passed by 60 percent of San Francisco voters, which strongly encourages public high schools and colleges to prohibit on-campus military recruiting. Now, local SF officials are already taking him to task, including San Francisco firefighters union president John Hanley:

"Who is this guy, O'Reilly?" said Hanley, who identified himself as both a third-generation San Franciscan and military veteran. "I've got guys fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm a veteran myself. What's he talking about?"

Coit Tower is a memorial to firefighters. Note to B.O.: Don't diss the firefighters These are the people who might save your life someday.

Anyway, as irresponsible and amoral as B.O.'s comments are, perhaps he is correct in his defense of them as merely, "What I said isn’t controversial. What I said needed to be said." Wait a minute. I was expecting him to defend his comments as merely over-the-top rhetoric, and instead he's acting like they're not over-the-top at all. Let's try again with this pathetic justification from a couple of days later:

And then I went on to do a satirical riff with a serious point. Why should the USA protect San Francisco from terrorists if they in the city are trying to undermine the military? We posted the entire monologue on billoreilly.com.

Predictably, some far-left Internet smear sites have launched a campaign to get me fired over my point of view. I believe they do this on a daily basis. This time, the theme is O'Reilly is encouraging terrorist attacks. Unbelievably stupid, but not unusual for these guttersnipes.

Phew, that's better. It was just a satirical riff. He doesn't really want terrorists to blow up American cities. And you're a guttersnipe if you say so!

All right, B.O., I'll believe you that you don't really, actually, literally want to encourage terrorists to attack America. And I'll accept that you aren't, deep down, really, truly, a terrorist sympathizer. But you are still a bully, a blowhard, a hypocrite, a coward, a liar, and generally speaking a person of low moral character.
