Does Bill O'Reilly have it in for the city by the bay?

San Franciscans have been in an uproar this week over apparent comments by the host of Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" that it was A-OK for terrorists to wipe the city off the map.

At issue are comments from O'Reilly's Election Day broadcast on his syndicated Westwood One radio show about a San Francisco ballot measure opposing the presence of military recruiters in city schools.

Modern Sodom a true disgrace.

[FOXFANVOX]

Ping!

[Hey, thot you might want to take a look at this.]

[L98Fiero]

"Does Bill O'Reilly have it in for the city by the bay?"

I would say the $h!tty by the bay has it in for itself.

[marlon]

I soured on O'Reilly a while ago but he's been throwing some pretty good shots lately at the looney left. This one in particular I agree with 100%. If San Fran is attacked tomorrow I think we should all just look the other way.

[philsfan24]

hes completely right. if they dont want the military there to recruit then why should they have the right for that same military to defend them?

[ozzymandus]

The RATS keep calling O'reilly a "conservative", when he's just a weathervane, spinning in the wind.

[L98Fiero]

Yeah, I'm hit & miss with Bill. His "record oil profits" segments have been idiotic. He hasn't had one economist on (that I've seen) who supports his position. He somehow read a governors race to be the downfall for Republicans. I still don't get that one.

However, when it come to illegals, Islamofascism, and the ACLU, and this SF nonesense, he has been dead on.

[isrul]

City official says O'reilly must be on the same meds as Limbaugh. They have a poll that could be freeped if someone wanted to. I don't want any American city wiped away, but if it must happen, San Francisco would certainly be missed the least (by the normal people).

[ozzymandus]

Did you see Stein and Rogers laughing at him? It was hilarious.

[EagleUSA]

Does Bill O'Reilly have it in for the city by the bay?
----
Yes, like any radical fringe leftist hater does! Topped off the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals -- hardcore socialist activists judges, the cancer of our judicial system. As a California citizen for over 55 years, I can say with qualification that SAN FRANCISCO is a MAJOR embarassment to REAL CALIFORNIANS.

[counterpunch]

I spend enough time in San Francisco to agree with Bill on this one.

[Courdeleon02]

Such people ought to be deported. San Francisco is the most dispicable place in America.It is the home of Nancy Pelosi and her face matches the traitorous character of most of the people in that city.Earthquake where are you.

[Primetimedonna]

There's another thread on this! I'm on it begging for mercy as we speak!!

[YOUGOTIT]

"San Franciscans have been in an uproar this week" about what? They are no longer a part of the United States I do not care what happens to them. Boycott all companies that have headquarters in SF

[kittymyrib]

Let's just say that when the Big One hits SF, it will be a struggle to muster the funds to rebuild. Since the denizens of that place are such nature lovers, it should be a wildlife sanctuary with absolutely no humans allowed.

[kellynla]

I'd say San Francissyco is due for another earthquake...
maybe that will shake some sense into the residents!

[Primetimedonna]

We conservatives in San Francisco thank you for your support! ;>)

[Primetimedonna]

Oops! did I forget my sarcasm line! Dear me!

[Tim Long]

Sodom By The Sea.

Thank you all for your kind words!!

[waterman478]

It's truly tragic. I'm a former midwesterner and Bay Area resident now for 20 years. For someone who has to work professionally but enjoys the cultural and natural wonders the city as to offer (world class surfing, mountain biking, and many other sports are withing a stone's throw of downtown), the place is paradise.

It's always been offbeat, but 20 years ago San Franicsco's quirks were rather tame and amusing footnotes, rather than society-defining mantras.

The city today is a joke---self obsessed, smug, self congratulatory and aggrandising in it's far left positions...looney liberal left ground zero. The city council actually had to have a debate---remember this?---about whether taking a crap in the middle of the street was against the law. The city hates the military, has turned the homeless into saints (and well-off ones at that), rabidly promotes the radical gay agenda as a social norm (and views anyone contrary as homophobic), loathes all religious belief except Kaballah and Islam, openly tolerates drugs and prostituion as victimless crimes, and has an air of moral and intellectual superiority that boggles the imagination (after Gray Davis was thrown out on his ass---never a more corrupt and incompetent politician has there ever been---San Francisco was one of the few counties that voted to keep him in office. Every article published in the local papers claimed that it was the fact that San Franciscans were "better educated and better informed" as the reason they voted the way they did).

Truly a tragedy.

[BenLurkin]

Don't tell the NUCLEAR terrorists but . . .

San Francisco is the secret HEADQUARTERS OF THE GLOBAL ZIONIST/CHRISTIAN CRUSADERS.

[injin]

San Francisco has alot of people in it , it is a stunningly scenic city and an American icon . Surely the 'good' people of San Francisco should speak up and be heard! Enough of these mouthy vermin that have come to infest it an claim it as their
own little wicked fiefdom of perfidy .
I say " Take back S.F." !

[Uncle Miltie]

San Fransisco and France are just exercising their right to commit suicide.

[lugsoul]

You're right! And damn those Quakers, too - they should be fair game for the terrorists!

[Primetimedonna]

I say " Take back S.F." !

Thanks! We're trying! any help or reinforcements would be appreciated!!

[Mr. Brightside]

There are certain things you just don't say out loud.

[mr_hammer]

I agree with all your points. Bill plays both sides of the fence, but SF has got to get real.

[ImpotentRage]

Now THAT'S ugly!! Funny, but ugly.

[showme_the_Glory]

Bill OhWiley...even a broken clock is right twice a day....

[mr_hammer]

feel sorry for you Eagle, that city disgraces all who reside on the West Coast.

[varyouga]

Jeez, how can some of you guys hope for the destruction of a city?

I guarantee you there are some FReepers hiding out there. Just like I'm hiding out in an area possibly more liberal by percentage than SF. I've been threatened and had property destroyed for displaying patriotic signs.

Posts like these give the DUmmies lots of ammo

[harpu]

Who or what's an O'Reilly?

[megatherium]

Twenty years ago, the AIDS epidemic was gathering force in SF, forcing gay men to fight for their lives and change their behaviors after a decade of wild excess.

In 1978, the Mayor and an openly gay city supervisor were assassinated by a supervisor who had resigned in protest of the passage of a gay-rights bill; the result was three days of gays rioting in the street.

In the mid to late 1960s, SF was a mecca for psychedelic drug users, who lived in degraded conditions on the street, developing diseases not seen in developing countries for generations.

So is SF really so bad these days?

Sounds just like Austin, Texas to me!

[injin]

to start with every legitimate handgun owner should publically
state that they are not going to turn in any firearms .
Make them come get them .....

[L98Fiero]

I was waiting for that and deserved it. ;)

Seriously, my hat goes off to you. You must be a far stronger person than I.

[Argus]

It was the experience of living and working in Frisco in the early 80's that turned me into a conservative. Before that revelation of loony leftism run amok, I actually considered myself one of them. Seeing how they operated in real life convinced me I wasn't. And the city back then was sane compared to what it is now. Needless to say, it is physically one of the best-situated and most picturesque cities in America, and I liked living there. But most of the people are utter nitwits. As Robin Williams put it, "a human game preserve".

[Primetimedonna]

Near as I can tell it would be anti Constitutional to try to enforce this. It has about as much impact as when they declared San Francisco and Berkeley as Nuclear Free Zones! I'm sure this will be tested ASAP, and thrown out.

[Primetimedonna]

No offense taken.....San Francisco brings things on themselves, but there are 6 Conservatives here...my husband, 2 of my kids (unfortunately one is a lib!) and 2 other guys. We identify eachother by our secret handshake!

Actually, it sounds just like Massachusetts, anything goes here!

[marlon]

That's the best description of SF I've seen. I remember the first time I ever went there, probably in the early'90s and I was shocked at having to literally step over "homeless" on every sidewalk. Later visits showed that the corner squeege man or will work for food sign holders were on every street corner harrasing cars. By this time Guliani had already cleaned up NY and I could only get the feeling that they all migrated westward.

It truly is a beautiful area and a unique city but I just can't stomach the place. NY may be liberal but at least it has some pretense of decency.

[Windsong]

Always wondered why the angels couldn't just teleport him and his family out of harms way in Sodom. It was like God *wanted* them to look back..

[abigailsmybaby]

I sure as hell would. It'd be a plus for the rest of us, imo.

[bert]

A 9.5 earthquake would also do the job nicely.

Bring it on....
