I'm sure that most of you have been following the Olbermann vs. O'Reilly match that has been going on for the past couple of weeks. Here's the newest headline:
O'Reilly threatened radio show caller with "a little visit" from "Fox security" for mentioning Olbermann's name on the air.
What in the hell is going on over there at FOX News? Yeah, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann has been taking pot-shots at Bill...calling him the "Worst Person in the World" and such. It's politics, ladies and gents; that sort of thing happens all too often because of human nature.
However, poor Bill is worrying me with his "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" act. Just the mere mentioning of Olbermann's name over the air, and he's having delusions of grandeur and foaming at the mouth. "Fox security"? Is the Federal Bureau of Investigations now the Fox Bureau of Investigations? Did I miss the memo?
The caller began by telling O'Reilly, "I like to listen to you during the day." Continuing, the caller stated, "I think Keith Olbermann's show," at which point O'Reilly disconnected the call, proclaiming: "Mike is -- he's a gone guy. You know, we have his -- we have your phone numbers, by the way. So, if you're listening, Mike, we have your phone number, and we're going to turn it over to Fox security, and you'll be getting a little visit."
Co-host E.D. Hill -- who also co-hosts Fox News' Fox & Friends -- chimed in: "Maybe Mike is from the mothership." O'Reilly responded that the caller was "going to get into big trouble, because we're not going to play around." Warning his listeners, O'Reilly continued: "When you call us, ladies and gentleman, just so you know, we do have your phone number, and if you say anything untoward, obscene, or anything like that, Fox security will then contact your local authorities, and you will be held accountable. Fair?"
Apparently, O'Reilly decided that mentioning Olbermann's name was "untoward" or "obscene." After Hill agreed with O'Reilly's apparent policy of turning over a caller's personal information to the authorities as being "fair," O'Reilly warned again that callers making "untoward" and "obscene" statements "will be held accountable. Believe it."
Say what??
It's time to prescribe some lithium for Mr. O'Reilly because that kind of talk makes him sound schizophrenic.
Maybe it's time for some of your medicine, huh, Bill?
Here's the guy's story from Daily Kos:
Head of Fox Security called me re: phone call to O'Reilly today

Today I made a phone call to Bill O'Reilly's show; I told him I wanted to talk to him about Alito, which was the topic, but before I did that, I told him I was thankful to him for turning me on to Olbermann. He immediately hung up on me. At around 4PM, EST, I received a phone call from Anthony (I have his last name and phone number,) head of Fox Security, saying that I made a harassing phone call to O'Reilly today.

I got the call on the phone I used to call him; the head of Fox Security introduced himself and asked if I called Bill O'Reilly today, because I harassed Bill O'Reilly. I pleaded ignorance, and asked how many calls were made and what was said?? He said again 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 what was said 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 Olbermann. Then he hung up.
I called my lawyer to let him know what is up. I emailed Keith O. and let him know what happened.
Bootjack time with O'Reilly.
To quote Daffy Duck, "It is to laugh."
