As Salon’s Gabriel Winant has documented, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly regularly demonized Dr. George Tiller, who was murdered on Sunday, as “Tiller the Baby Killer.” But as ThinkProgress noted yesterday, O’Reilly is not “backpedaling” from his incendiary attacks on Tiller. In fact, while debating former National Organization for Women president Patricia Ireland last night, O’Reilly referred to Tiller as “Dr. Killer” without realizing it. “You call him Dr. Killer and he was murdered,” replied Ireland, adding “that that is just outrageous.” Watch it:

I do not know anyone in their right mind that would consider anything that Bill Olielly says as truth.

and he's a symptom of that disease.

Underneath the invective and bravado, he's filled w/self-centered fear.

the need for anti-hate laws...

... is self evident from this hate inspired murder!

why do the federals pretend we're a free people and say they're protecting constitutional rights when they've been usurping all powers since 1968 under the guise of national security...
How bloated does the Federal bureaucracy need to get before we figure out the simple fact that they're only serving themselves?
Just follow the money... corporate money too and you'll see just how much has been lost in the past 50 years!

The Democrats won`t protect our values...
the lobby interests are to well funded to allow them any freedom of action.
The Republicans started this so they won't or can't either...
besides the fact that they were installed by their corporate crony friends.

The US is reaping what it sowed and the freedom meter cant fall any further!
Its funny that some rights can be devalued due to national security but anti-hate laws will never see the light of day because... what again?

land of the free indeed!
Long live the CORPORATE STATES OF AMERICA... not!

The arrogance of this motherfucker is beyond belief. I never watch him, and looking at this video reminded me why. This bastard just turns my stomach.

..with organizations that are grooming young republicans.

but the underlying emotion is hatred and fear of the sexual power of women engendered in the priesthood.

Attacks on women's clinics are coming from fundamentalist churches' focus group activity. Their "contraception as murder" ideas serves politicians very well as a wedge issue.

why anyone even watches Bill O'Reilly. People with IQ's greater than room temperature would recognize the man is a liar and provocateur. It's just the way he gets attention. I think we only get to live this life once and I wouldn't waste any portion of my life watching him.

My IQ is higher than room temp and I really do not listen to Oreilly because he is too volatile. I do however respect his right to speak even though I believe he was less than sensitive about this Doctor's murder.
