Bill O'Reilly's definition of "hostile" is anyone who calls up with facts disputing any one of O'Reilly's ficticious claims.
 
It just keeps gettin' better!....

Here's hopin' that dopes empty threaths open the floodgates of "pests" on the one who named his virbrator the same name as his little daughter! :)
 
Am I crazy, or is a guy like this only setting himself up for a big fall?

You would think the little phone sex scandal would've humbled him a bit, but apparently not.

Like many others who got "too big for their britches", O'Reilly (and I do generally like him) will eventually faulter and become a flaming joke like so many others who've come before him.

What do they say about ignoring history?

Actually, if the Luffa incident didn't already do this, then the "War on Christmas" clinched it.

That audio clip sounds edited to me.

And what was said BEFORE the call?

We'd have to know everything that was said before making any judgment on any "threat," etc.

That clip couldn't have at all been edited... try doing a better job next time, Philip. You can do better. Your editing work here sucks. At least try to make it passable before you come on here denouncing people. k?

Keith Olbermann managed to grab the entire section from O'Reilly's own website before it was edited by O'Reilly/staff out of the whole show. The audio you heard was not edited.

In fact, a former Connecticut prosecutor suggested it's O'Reilly who may be the one in trouble.

Time to call the men in the white coats from Bellevue.

Please, Bill -- Call the Police!

And I would love to see Bill turn this over the "FOX Security" (or whatever he referred to them). BTW, are they the same security people featured on an episode of "The Simpsons" several seasons ago where Homer and Marge were in a hot air baloon over a football game and FOX security was called (then "security" reached for "Just One Gun", which, at the time was a poke at FOX slogan "Just One Fox").

But anyways, go ahead and file that police report, Bill. Then you'll find yourself in a BIGGER rut when you get busted for filing a false police report.

Funny how O'Reilly's only fighting tactic is to mention MSNBC's ratings. If barely anybody's watching, then why bother giving them the time of day???

Exactly.

Because O'Reilly's being called on the carpet and can't take it.

Yeah O'Reilly...we're all laughing AT you.

Yeah, that's the adult thing. Here is what you wrote:

"That clip couldn't have at all been edited... try doing a better job next time, Philip. You can do better. Your editing work here sucks. At least try to make it passable before you come on here denouncing people. k?"

You accused -me- of editing a clip and putting it up here as some cheap plot to denounce Bill O'Reilly. I did no such thing, and now you aren't mature enough to withdraw your accusation.

In fact, it demonstrates your reflexive need to automatically defend these people.

That's okay though. I'll be sure to remind you of it on an ongoing basis until you do withdraw your remarks. And if that doesn't work, I'll call Fox Security. ;-)

We have your handle.

From the middle as usual:

I listened to the clip, and there is a rather obvious edit in it. It's 12 seconds in, right after "gone guy".

The edit was not performed by our own Mr. Dampier. It's in the original file on the "wingnuts" website, which has also been copied now to Media Matters.

I don't know what was edited out, but I suspect it was done to "tighten up" the clip somehow (to make it shorter). Not having heard the original, I don't know what's missing.

It's also unclear what the caller says after "Keith Olbermann". I've seen him talk about it on a blog, and he claims he said "Keith Olbermann show is the best show at 8 PM" or something like that. There's no way we can know if he did or didn't say that, or anything that may have been legitimately considered obscene that he's not telling people about, and the only people who DO know are the caller and the O'Reilly folks.

The full original was grabbed by Olbermann from O'Reilly's own site. I don't know if this "edit" is there or not, but Olbermann's did not come from this guy's website. O'Reilly has since censored his own audio file. Remember, O'Reilly used the dump button which requires reloading the buffer for the delay after it is used.

Meanwhile, we are now seeing scattered (and unconfirmed by third parties) reports that Fox Security -HAS- started calling people to "suggest" what can happen to them if they keep calling O'Reilly's show. I am waiting to hear a tape or see something more substantial before I'll believe this for myself. If it was true, it's a major scandal.

WW1 and other such facilities have better equipment that should not cause this to leave the effects heard on the clip.

The edit point, or burp, or whatever it is, sounds like O'Reilly's next statement had a bit of other audio mixed in with it, like someone else was talking. In my fairly limited experience with delay equipment, I haven't heard a blurp like that when the delay was hit.

I didn't hear Olbermann's version of the audio clip, so I can't tell. Either way, the clip was not edited by our Mr. Dampier, unless he is behind the "Calling All Wingnuts" site somehow.

I occasionally muse that it would be lovely if all the right-wingers would gather around the table in Guyana and drink the Kool-Aid en masse.
