O’Reilly: I Would Execute Everyone At Gitmo
The United States is holding more than 500 foreign detainees at the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. These men have been deprived of basic legal and civil rights, and reports of abuse, torture and grotesque mistreatment are rampant. Many, if not most, of the detainees have been there nearly four years, yet in all that time, only four have been accused of any crime. And even then, military prosecutors recently charged the military trials against those four have been rigged.

The entire mess is playing into the hands of the terrorists, who now use Guantanamo Bay as a recruiting tool.

So what would Fox’s Bill O’Reilly do to fix the problem? Kill ‘em all:

O’REILLY: I don’t give them any protection. I don’t feel sorry for them. In fact, I probably would have ordered their execution if I had the power. (Listen to O’Reilly here.)

UPDATE: Crooks and Liars has the video.

1. Now there's someone that I hope gets zapped by lightning

Can't hate the prick enough

[WI_DEM]

2. since his ratings have tanked

O' Really has become an even bigger extremist right winger. He's hoping that will keep the last core of his audience from leaving him.

[Cocoa]

9. yeah, it sounds like flamebait

I hate to even bring attention to it, but it represents something so heinous it can't be ignored.

Taken literally, and some people do take this kind of idiocy seriously, O'Reilly is advocating something only the worst regimes in the world do.

[stewert]

12. WI_DEM..........

I would not say O'Reilly's ratings have tanked, they dropped from a 3.1 in October of 2004 to 2.0 in June of 2005. I would not call that tanking, he is still the #1 show as far as ratings go.

But Greta is nipping on his heels, she beats him 2 or 3 times a month.

[pointblank]

42. This is true....

For a while there, he started playing the independent card and he got crucified by the hard liners for it.


What a whore.

[Inland]

3. Sure. Bury Bush's mistakes. That way nobody will ever know.

I bet that's on the plate for a number of Gitmo prisoners. We don't know who or how many there are, so the ones most tortured and least culpable will disappear. PR problem all gone.

[Dover]

4. Al Franken ought love this one..........

It's so hard to view neocons as fellow humans because there's so little evidence of it.

[stewert]

5. And...............

He also says he opposes the death penalty, so how can he claim to oppose death if he would just execute everyone ?

[etherealtruth]

6. Even if I held RW beliefs...

... (I DO NOT) I could not be a right winger becaus I am simply not a HATE FILLED person.

[FreedomAngel82]

7. There's children there you moron!!!!

God I can't stand him!

[DS1]

8. DOes that mean I can come out and say I'd like to massacre everyone

at Fox News?

[fujiyama]

29. Ann Coulter

once said in her book that "Timothy McVeigh should have bombed the NYTimes building".

But if you or I said the same thing about Fox News, homeland security'd be on our ass the next minute.

[DS1]

31. No kidding

and that's all I'll say about that

[Sparkman]

10. Boot licking scurvey dog of a Nazi mass murdering wanna be. Punk. n/t

[Ready4Change]

11. He has no clue what "America" is all about.

He clearly gets "Amerika." But "America" seems to elude him.

Wonder if he covered the story of the guy who was declared innocent this week after serving 20 years in prison?

[Somawas]

13. O'Lielly should hook up with Tancredo

the nutbar from CO who wants to nuked Mecca and Medina if any more Islamic terrorists hit the US.

[Codeblue]

52. Bah!

Let's leave out the location where Tancredo calls home shall we?

Fuckin bastard!

[dogday]

14. If he is fueling the insurgency? Would that

not be the same as treason in his book?

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. He just talks to hear himself

I guess it's a good thing he doesn't have "the power" then. O'Reilly, you need to, SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! Someone cut his mic!

[sakabatou]

16. Uh... you think they would look into O'Reilly for this

I mean anyone that blatantly says they want to kill 500 people is a madman.

[stepnw1f]

17. He Should Be Arrested for Statements Like That

You all realise why he doing this, right? The Right Wing is slowly desensitizing American society to this type of hate filled rhetoric.

Have you noticed the type of rhetoric that publicly spews from Ditto-Heads? They wouldn't have dared to say this type of shit 10 years ago publicly. But slowly over time Right Wing media has established itself and has been shaping the public's threshold for hate filled speech by making it the norm.

Right Wing Propaganda is extremely dangerous. It's been used before to do major harm.

[acmejack]

21. Perhaps we should file a complaint to the FCC

I think I will pursue this and pester the FCC. I plan to protest the relicensing of every station I can, they are definitely short on the public service aspect.

[Cocoa]

22. that's why this poll result is such good news

I've noticed the same campaign of hate that you have, and this poll result suggests it's failing.

http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?ReportID=252

<snip>

Most striking in the wake of the terrorist attacks in London is that the number of Americans saying that Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence has fallen significantly to 36% in the current survey from 44% two years ago.

[MissB]

26. I agree with you.

I happened to stop on Fox News the other night when Neil Cavuto (sp?) had a couple of guests talking about former President Jimmy Carter. The clear point of the segment was to paint Carter as unpatriotic and someone who should just shut up. It was ugly, ugly propaganda.

[Sparkman]

32. RW decries hollywood, movies and universities for sex, religion & liberal

politics, BUT SAY NOTHING when they hear neocons project mass death messages against rendered harmless detainees!

Prediction: Websters in 10 years will list "Republican"and"Hypocrite" as synonyms. My Harbrace College handbook does already! just kiddin

[stepnw1f]

34. Exactly... And I'm Getting Fed Up With It

The system is so tilted to the right these days, and yet more than half this country does not believe in the Right Wing Bullshit!

Since when does a minority rule in a Democracy?

[Straight Shooter]

18. "When your only tool is a hammer, you see every problem as a nail."

Maybe not an exact quote, but close enough, from the very wise A. Maslow.

O'Reilly knows only one thing: destroy that which you fear or do not understand.

[Rude Horner]

19. So let me get this straight

He admits that the fact that there are prisoners at Guantanamo Bay is being used as a recruiting tool by terrorists, but he doesn't seem to think that executing them all would have an adverse affect?

Shhhuuuuurre Bill. I'm sure the terrorists wouldn't hold it against us if we just slaughtered a whole bunch of innocent people. Noooooooo

:banghead:

[Gman]

20. O'Really is such a devout Catholic

from the 13th century.

[Tim4319]

23. Sounds like something Saddam use to do.

Execute a whole prison full of people, most of whom were innocent. Ironically enough, they were carried out at Abu Ghraib Prison.

Mr. O'Reilly needs to be pulled from TV. Especially since he can get away with sexual harassment, and all he has to do is pay to keep everything hush. Now, "O'Hypocrite talking about mass execution. He needs his mic turn off for good.

<<snip>>
The reports state that on November 19, Qusay, Saddam's younger son who controls the Special Guard and Special Security, the Special Republican Guard and other organizations attached directly to the presidency, gave written orders for the execution of 1200 detainees in the "heavy sentences" section of Abu Ghraib-detainees whose sentences range between 15 years and the death penalty. The mass executions began on November 20, and continued daily. The bodies of some of the executed were returned to their families, with several showing evidence of torture.

[Sparkman]

33. I must inject that Rumsfeld visited Saddam after gassing Kurd's, handshake

and MORE U.S. support. ANY neocon also thinks like O'Rielly, by definition.

[EST]

24. Now we have another example of real pornagraphy to point to.

Give me another picture of JJ's breast---please!

[Greeby]

25. Of course he's full of shit

Look your victim in your eye as you kill him? Nah, right-wingers haven't the stomach for it. He prefers to do his killing via propaganda

[tomg]

27. I have the rather dubious distinction

of teaching at a place that gave him an honorary degree. He went there as an undergraduate. I apologize for going to the commencement that day ( damn - that "you have to go for the students" thing gets us everytime). The next year we had Spitzer. Fair and balanced, that's us.

[AlwaysQuestion]

40. A what?!!!!!!!!

Oh gawd, I'd love to comment, but I daren't. :] I mean you did apologize and all.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

28. This would be considered aid and comfort to the enemy BUT

Even they have standards as to what crap they watch and listen to.

The ratings must really be in the crapper, he's been going for the macho moments* daily now.



*I miss Stephanie Miller, damnit.

[Dude_CalmDown]

30. Is this supposed to be a surprise? n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

[B Calm]

36. Screw this masturbating dildo loving asshole!

[AlwaysQuestion]

37. Excuse me, but..........

O'Reilly just ain't news. He's just soooooo predictable and not at all clever in his predictability. Name a subject and we all know what his response will be. For openers, it will be putrid in spirit; rude in delivery; and ignorant in content. He's nothing if not a blight on society.

I mean if any of us actually got to know someone like him, it wouldn't take us long to excise him from our bevy of friends and acquaintances. And yet, because this guy has a t.v. program, he's a force to be reckoned with. Did you hear what O'Reilly said on this or on that? Who the hell cares? He's a nobody. What makes him a somebody are the people who actually listen to or read about what he has to say. How many times does one have to be hit over the head to know that avoidance is a good thing? The man's an abomination with no redeeming qualities at all.

I mean his very existence should be declared illegal. A glorified neocon mouthpiece without an ounce of heart or brains or grace.

We need to expunge him--fast! We must do everything possible to ensure that his ratings go down. We must not count ourselves among his viewers. He is a troll! He is low life. He is O'Reilly! :puke:

[Binka]

46. I Just So Love Your Post I'm Laughing Really Hard

I've called him a bigoted, bloviating, blight on humanity since he shoved his ugly fucking face on the tube. A wise woman once said "there are not good and bad people there are charming and tedious people."

O Suck Face is the latter.

[AlwaysQuestion]

49. "Suck-face" is good!!

And...I....just love "BLOVIATING"!!! :thumbsup: For one who thinks she has a fairly decent vocabulary, I have never used "bloviating," but if it's all the same to you, methinks I'll make it my own. "Verbose" is soooooooo overused and besides your word has that 'onomatopoea" effect which gives it punch!

[PassingFair]

38. Wow, why didn't the chimp send O'Reilly

...to the U.N.?

What a dirtbag!

[Rocknrule]

39. Republicans are like the Columbine killers

Like those 2 disturbed boys, Republicans have a fetish for violence and death, hate and want to kill anyone who doesnt look and think exactly like them, and would love to see all life on earth wiped out. Here are some quotes from the diaries of those boys:

"Anything I don't like sucks"
"HATE!!! I'm full of hate and I love it!"
"I am the law. If you don't like it, you die"
"All you (various racial slurs and obscenities) better hide in your homes because I'm coming for EVERYONE now and I will be armed to the (censored) TEETH, and I WILL (censored) KILL EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sounds like something a Bush supporter would say, don't you agree?

[newyawker99]

41. Hi Rocknrule!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[TNOE]

43. And that's why I love this guy!

http://www.sweetjesusihatebilloreilly.com/

[Fla Dem]

44. Unfortunately, he says what he says to appeal to millions

who think that way. He is a stupid shock jock who may believe what he says, but mostly says what he thinks others want to hear.

[blindpig]

45. he's getting off message

I've always thought that his scam was to play to the pretend middle, contrasting himself to his screeching brethren on the radio as mainline while still delivering the same message as they. Outbursts like this are welcome, hopefully alienating those in the mushy middle who were buying into his supposed nonpartisan reasonableness. Even uninformed Americans hypnotized by TV know when the shark is being jumped.

Keep it up Bill, dig that hole.

[porphyrian]

47. O'Reilly's a blowhard piece of shit.

Why does anyone listen to him at all?

[ecstatic]

48. He belongs in prison for sexual misconduct

Why does that fool still have a show? What happened to "moral values?"

[genieroze]

51. Maybe they should put electrodes on his (censored) but he may like it..

[genieroze]

50. Hahahah, what a maroon.
