O’Reilly has proven what a cheap, low down, coward he is. Yesterday he blew up on the air at a caller just for mentioning Keith Olbermann’s name. (via Media Matters)

On his nationally syndicated radio show, Bill O’Reilly threatened to turn over the personal information of a caller to “Fox security” because the caller mentioned MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann. As Media Matters has noted, in recent weeks, Olbermann has repeatedly awarded O’Reilly the “Worst Person in the World” designation during his show, MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

John at Crooks and Liars actually started this story and Media Matters picked up on it. Now John has further updates to it:

“I got the call on the phone I used to call him from the head of Fox News security. He said that harassing phone calls were coming from my phone. I asked him how many? He did not know. I asked him what was said that was harassing? He said that he did not know but that it did not have to be what was said, but how many calls were being made. He tried to make like I made 20 phone calls instead of one, and that I cursed O’Reilly out. All I said was that I was grateful to O’Reilly for turning me on to Olberman. Then he hung up.”

Clearly O’Reilly is trying to have his goons make a statement, but it’s a very foolish move. He can’t shut off their mics so he’s harassing them when they call.

So apparently there are some delusions going on here. Number one – FOX News might be a giant corporation but they are in no way law enforcement. If they believe someone is placing harassing calls then they are to report it to the local police. The second point is the fact that O’Reilly’s radio show is on Westwood One which is a separate entity from FOX. That would be like shoplifting at Wal-Mart and K-Mart’s security coming after you.

Considering O’Reilly’s past and previous legal complaints against him I would advise that caller to immediately contact an attorney and also file for a temporary restraining order against O’Reilly and all FOX associates. This kind of action makes it evident O’Reilly is a danger to society and he should be dealt with.

Also I find it interesting that this is happening now. As I posted earlier, Olbermann’s is still below O’Reilly in the ratings game but he is gaining serious ground. O’Reilly has actually dropped to second place (behind Paula Zahn) with a 21% lost. Olbermann has experienced a 55% increase in viewers. If this continues he will take over the number one slot within a matter of weeks. This has O’Reilly’s delicate little world crashing down.

I would love for one of O’Reilly’s goons to try and pull this crap on me. It will not be tolerated. This is still America and we do not bow down to the corporate big wigs. This would be a great item for some politicians to pick up on. Perhaps the DOJ should open a full investigation into FOX news and Bill O’Reilly for their actions here.

And Bill, if you read this, you are a little bitch boy that is getting his ass handed to him by Keith Olbermann. You made your bed now lay in it pussy.
