That Wily Bill O'Reilly

Bill O'Reilly has found a creative way to try to boost his ratings: Accuse his competitors of treason!

Responding to controversial comments by Sen. Richard J. Durbin
(D-IL) regarding the treatment of detainees at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba,
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly said that Americans "must know the
difference between dissent from the Iraq war and the war on terror and
undermining it," and that "any American who undermines that war ... is
a traitor." He then hurled this accusation at Air America Radio: "So,
all those clowns at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate
them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and
just put them in chains, because they, you know, they're undermining
everything and they don't care."


What a crafty little falafel-fondling fiend he is. He must have forgotten about my favorite amendment.

Amendment I: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

SpinDentist over at All Spin Zone makes a few suggestions as what we can do to knock some sense into Mr. Bill.

Seriously, someone should do some kind of intervention. Think for a moment — wouldn't it make fascinating reality TV to have Dr. Phil do an intervention on Bill O'Reilly? Or maybe we could have a third grade class teach him about the first amendment?

Great ideas!
