O'Reilly To Obama: Dodge Fox News "At Your Peril"

Thinkprogress.org:

Calling into Fox and Friends this morning, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly discussed the prospect of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) potentially debating on Fox News. O'Reilly said he expects "both Obama and Hillary Clinton to be respectful to the Fox News Channel." "If you dodge us, it is at your peril," he added.

O'Reilly also claimed that Fox "has treated both candidates fairly," apparently forgetting the network's pushing of the false madrassa story.

The longer Obama stays off Fox, the more likely I am to vote for him. But since I'm a liberal, neither Democrat is really interested in my vote.

it's not like your vote counts anyway

The good news: New Mexico now votes on paper ballots, since their touch-screen debacle in the 2004 Presidential Election left Gov. Bill Richardson with little legal choice but to move to paper.

The bad news: The huge turnout in yesterday's Democratic Primary led to long lines, voters who found they were no longer on the registration rolls for some still-unexplained reason, 17,000 votes had to be cast on provisional ballots which remain uncounted today, and now it's being reported --- incredibly --- that at least three ballot boxes were kept overnight last night, uncounted, at the home of a Democratic County Party Chairwoman.

What makes it all worse, as if all that is not troubling enough, is that the current razor-thin margin between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the caucus stands at just 217 votes out of 136 thousand ballots cast.

The governor's apologizing, the party is prevaricating, the candidates' representatives are negotiating, and, as usual, it's the voters who are left hanging, wondering if their voices will actually be heard...

Bully Bill O'Nelly, I challenge you to a duel with water pistols at three paces. But a weak wimp like you is probably afraid of such violence. You are only good for sounding off from a position of complete safety, like a hero shelling or bombing a defenseless town.
Here is what I say to you: BOO!
Bill? Bully Bill? Bill O'Rilly? Where did that hero of the weak wicks go?

[Birdman]

I'm sure Obama could care less what this liar has to say.

[misterbone]

O'Reilly, you finally done it. You picked the wrong fight. Bring it on!!!!

[waynesmyer]

"O'Really! Is that a threat! Are you actally picking on someone near your own size? How about a small child, or a disabled vet? Oh! you did that alrdeady! God, you are so brave! and what war did you serve in?

[FirstBlowupDollLaura]

I think what O'Lie'ly is saying is that if Democrats avoid Fox News, they will lose the votes of all those people who get 100% of their information from Fox News.

Democrats should ignore Fox. Shame on Hillary for agreeing to debate there. It's an example of why I trust Obama more.

MSNBC is now so biased for Obama you have to watch CNN or FOX to even get information. On the night of the Florida Primary MSNBC started out the evening just covering the Republican race even though almost 2,000,000 DEMS cam out to vote for their choice, Hillary got 50%, Obama got 33% and he was running as many ads in Florida as Mitt Romney.

[FirstBlowupDollLaura]

Has O'Reilly devoted an entire show to correcting the lies Fox has spread about Barack Obama, and apologizing to him, and presenting an accurate portrait of the man's background?

Just askin...

Senator Obama to O'Reilly (O'Really):

"Dodge our homeless veterans at your peril"

[wakeupeverybody]

Good one!!!!

[CanadianinCleveland]

Honestly, does this arrogant windbag actually think his slimy little threats have any clout.. I mean really! Clinton and Obama should collectively tell O'Lielly and the rest of the goons at Fox News to shove it!
Oh, yes, welcome aboard Karl Rove... the quality just continues!

[Tankan]

Motormouth O'Reilly at it again!

Barack Obama should not allow Fox to bully or intimidate him!

This is war, never do what your enemy wants you to do, rather do the opposite!

[MajorKong]

O'Reilly has gone so far over the top that he's becoming a caricature of himself.

[joja]

Oooooooooooohhhhh! This is waaayyyyy scary! Everybody run and hide!!! Fox News is threatening to . . . to do what? Unleash some more propaganda?

I'm so scared.

Bill O'Reilly is like Bill Clinton -- old, tired, and nothing more than a camera whore.

Big fuckin' deal, Billo. Obama is light years ahead of you in the intelligence department, so I doubt he could give a shit less about your one-sided debate offer. It would be the equivalent of Winston Churchill taking on Mitt Romney.

[thegreatgiginthesky]

I wish someone would just punch this asshole in his puss. Seriously, I think that people like this douche bag and Hannity are pushing the limits until someone finally takes matters into their own hands and just beats the shit out of them. If this fucker said this anywhere else in the world he'd be in the ICU by now.

[gamoonbat]

I think that O'Reilly and Fox have been mean to and told lies about the two Democratic front-runners in equal measure. That is what he means here by fair and balanced.

[LutherBrixton]

As the Tempations sang many years ago, "Ain't Too Proud To Beg".

And since Bill O'Reilly is pleading like a dog for a bone to get Obama on the GOP Network, Obama should have some fun with it.

The phrase that comes to mind:

"Dance, Rummy!"

[ProfessorDuh]

O'Reilly is a bully-coward who relishing issuing big-mouth, fathead threats. I love the way he was dealt with in "V for Vendetta."

[CynAnne]

... T'was almost perfect, ProfessorDuh..except instead of a "Scarlett Carson", "V" should have left a "Khaki Loofah" in O'Liellys lifeless mitt..! ;) ...
