Hopefully, free from the airwaves… soon.

O’Reilly would probably classify this post as another “attack post” to mount it on the cross he’s bearing on his current media tour, which began the other night on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Apparently, Bill is tired of being the “warrior” for good. He’s tired of having to deal with the hatred that "famous news broadcasters" face. I know, O’Reilly and "news broadcaster" in the same sentence is pretty humorous.

O’Reilly’s second stop on the path to martyrdom was The Today Show. Once his complaining and self-aggrandizing came to a pause, Couric wondered out loud, why not try a different approach to help reduce the antagonism and stress of the job, maybe "an intelligent discussion" of the divisive issues? Bill’s response served as the pillar for his self-fulfilling prophesy of being driven to a ball of stress and hatred:

…If I start to go in there and be Mr. Rogers, no one is going to watch me…

In other words, loud, venomous, “entertainment” sells. There’s a market out there that needs to be served, and by hook or crook, Bill O’Reilly and Fox Broadcast Channel are going to serve them. But man… this hatred stuff takes a toll on the mind and body.

Well, Mr. O’Reilly, now that I understand your predicament, I feel it’s my duty to help you spread your deceitful hatred to my small neck of the woods. Your buddies at Media Matters did a great job documenting yet another of your "intelligent discussions" of a divisive issue; Border Control. Your selective quoting of Macarena Hernandez, and your historical perspective of illegal Mexican immigrants as being vessels of death is a clear example of your "intelligence" and "righteousness."

Good luck with your growing security detail and stomach ulcers.
