I am only expressing my opinion that his comments were unAmerican! O'Reilly disagrees and so do others. However, he said to al-Qaida <i>"every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead,"</i>. I believe that is an outrageous thing to say publicly, even in jest, and I pray that most of America never sinks so low as to want to do that.

It was done all over the U.S during the Vietnam era. It is certainly not in the American spirit to do such, but as you say, there are jurisdictions that are "unAmerican". I believe that Bill O'Reilly owes an apology for giving permission to al-Qaida to blow up a part of America - especially a monument to firefighters. As I say, that was <i>"over the top"</i> for me. I have never been a fan of O'Reilly. I don't watch his show, but I see him sometimes when I'm surfing. Perhaps I am not a good judge, but I did watch the video, and I listened to his outrageous rant of a follow-up. Friend of Liberty - banning military recruiters is an old story.

However, you should re-read the 1st Amendment about freedom of speech. I have heard the idiot's outburst, but he did not call for a terrorist's attack. He spoke on what he would do if he were the President. I don't think that he shall ever be president, but he still has the right to express his opinion, no matter how stupid it is.

I agree with your comments on California and that O'Reilly is a blowhard. However, he was only saying what so many do not have the gumption to say, that San Francisco really is very un-American of a city. It is extremely disturbing that they continue to ban military recruiters from their city. They truly are a very immoral city.
