Big Bad Bill-O

...
Why are these wingnuts such children? I remember being eight or nine years old and my friends and I would tell each other made-up tales of fantastic personal adventures that never happened. But you’d think someone as old as Bill O’Reilly would have outgrown that stage. I guess not:
According to a September 20 ABC News Online article promoting an upcoming appearance of Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on ABC's 20/20 to promote his new book Culture Warrior (Broadway, September 2006), O'Reilly stated that he receives "death threats on a daily basis," and that it's "a little disconcerting" that "the FBI
came in and warned me and a few other people at Fox News that al Qaeda had us on a death list." But O'Reilly's claim to be on an Al Qaeda "death list" has reportedly been disputed by an FBI official and a "correspondent" at Fox News.

A federal law enforcement officer reportedly told the website Radar that he is "not aware of any FBI agents warning anyone at Fox News of their presence on any list" and that he is "not aware of any Al Qaeda hit list targeting journalists."
These guys are in such a fantasyland as they go through their work day lying their asses off they don’t know when their stories become ridiculous. It’s like the President running around telling us that he is leading us in a struggle against The Terrorists™ that is even more epic than World War II and the Cold War combined. Yikes! That’s a pretty scary story Mr. Bush. But like Bill’s concoction of death defying heroics, it’s complete bullshit. Stop it already you guys, you’re embarrassing yourselfs.
