| O'Reilly Gets It Right, SF Seethes |
| 2005-11-12 |
| Supervisor Chris Daly is firing back at Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly for comments he made on his radio show Wednesday that encouraged al-Qaida to "blow up" Coit Tower. Well not really, but it sure sounds good. O'Reilly reacted to San Franciscans' approval of Proposition I, which discourages military recruiters on public high school and college campuses. Sounds fair to me: You don't wanna protect America, okay then, America won't protect you. He advised President George W. Bush to react by withdrawing any military protection for the city. "...If al-Qaida 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," O'Reilly said. Rantburgers who work in the Coit Daly responded on the KRON 4 Morning News, "Coit Tower's a monument to San Francisco's firefighters. They put out the fires in San Francisco after the great quake. American heroes -- they were there on Sept. 11 and now you want al-Qaida to blow up Coit Tower? Give us a break. You are out of line." He's out of line? This from the city that believes it is above the state and federal constitutions? Lol. John Hanley, president of the San Francisco Firefighter's Union Local 798, was incensed. Incensed? You mean he was burned up? Lol. "Coit Tower is a monument to the bravery of the men and women of the San Francisco Fire Department," Hanley said. "When Bill O'Reilly makes an attack on Coit Tower, he's attacking us and our bravery." "We really love our overnighters at the station. We'll put out a Naked Firefighters Calendar next year." He added, "Mr. O'Reilly, maybe we should bring you into some of our burning buildings and see how brave you are." He didn't criticize the bravery of SF firefighters, he questioned your common sense and patriotism, moron. Proposition I got 60 percent of the vote in Tuesday's election. It does not ban recruiters, but it does urge schools to reject them. But don't they realize that will harm their self-esteem? Hypocrites! Next week, Daly will introduce a resolution before the Board of Supervisors asking that Fox News fire Bill O'Reilly. Lol. Good luck with that, puckerboy. |
