Everybody knows that FAUX News wind bag Bill O’Reilly is a coward who bullies liberals from the safety of his heavily-protected set in the FAUX News studio.
But lately, this coward has taken to sending out goon squads to intimidate liberals in the media who dare to say a disparaging word about him or his views.
The latest “victim” was the AJC’s Pulitzer prize winning columnist Cynthia Tucker who coolly stared down a TV crew sent by O’Reilly to ambush her outside her Atlanta home.
Tucker’s crime was pointing out the hypocrisy behind O’Reilly’s biased views on Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol’s pregnancy.
Tucker wrote that Bill O’Reilly had criticized the parents of 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears after she became pregnant. “The blame falls primarily on the parents of the girl, who obviously have little control over her,” O’Reilly said.
But as Tucker noted in her column, O’Reilly had a different set of standards when it came to the parents of Bristol Palin.
Here’s how the exchange went down according to Tucker:
O’Reilly guy: “Cynthia, in your column, were you comparing Bristol Palin to Jamie Lynn Spears?”
Cynthia: “In my column, I was criticizing Bill O’Reilly. And I stand by that.”
O’Reilly guy: “Bill pointed out that Jamie Lynn Spears was running around unsupervised. You know that. So you were saying that Bristol Palin was running around unsupervised.”
Cynthia: “If I said that, read that part. You’re holding the column (in your hand). Read where I said Bristol Palin was running around unsupervised.”
O’Reilly guy: “You inferred (sic) it.”
Cynthia: “I inferred O’Reilly is a hypocrite. And I stand by that. Good day, gentlemen. I’m going inside to finish my Saturday chores.”
(They ran behind me, shouting, “Why weren’t you in Minneapolis? You went to the Democratic Convention. Why didn’t you go to the Republican Convention?” I didn’t look back – just got in my car and drove into my driveway.) (Source)
Maybe the AJC should consider posting bodyguards outside Miss Tucker’s home to protect her from nuts like O’Reilly. If the coward releases the video footage, I will post it.
Thanks to loyal reader Crys G. for the tip!
