On November 14th, on his Fox “News” program The O’Reilly Factor, smear merchant and alleged sex offender Bill O’Reilly promised to “post the names” of those who were critical of his radio comment encouraging Al Qaeda to blow up San Francisco. Crooks And Liars has the video here.
O’Reilly had said, on his radio program, after the city voted against allowing military recruiters in public high schools and colleges there in the November 8th election:
Today, O’Reilly has finally posted his promised Enemies List on his website which he catagorizes as a list of “Media Operations that traffic in defamation.” At this time, his list includes just three media outlets which he identifies as “the worst offenders”. Though O’Reilly gives no specific details on why the outlets made his list, all three had been critical of O’Reilly in the past and reported on misinformation he had given to his television viewers and listeners of his radio show.
Here is the complete text from his promised McCarthy-esque list.
The following media operations have regularly helped distribute defamation and false information supplied by far left websites:
– New York Daily News
– The St. Petersburg Times
– MSNBC
These are the worst offenders. In the months to come, we expect to add more names to this list. We recommend that you do not patronize these operations and that advertisers do the same. They are dishonest and not worth your time and money.
Arianna Huffington on her Huffington Post website has been requesting names of those who’d like to be on O’Reilly’s list. She has promised to “hand deliver them” to O’Reilly.
The BRAD BLOG regrets not making O’Reilly’s list, but promises readers that we will endeavor to continue our accurate reporting on well-paid media character assassins like O’Reilly in hopes of some day rating the honor of being on such a list.
UPDATE: Crooks and Liars has a clip from O’Reilly’s radio show today, which begs the question: Has O’Reilly simply gone bonkers?
wouldn’t it make you proud to be on his enemies list? It would me.
And I’m a proud subscriber to the St. Pete Times
Brad,
My deepest sympathies in your not making the list – Keep trying though, it looks like he plans to enlarge it in the future!
LOL
Laughable man. HA.
Dear Santa, I’ve been good all year. All I want for XMas is to make O’Reilly’s Enemies List. Thanks, Santa.
The man has a lot of ego. Who does he think he is, Nixon? I mean, if you want to have an enemies list then you really need to piss off a LOT of people. O’Reilly is hardly known. Also, if you’re going to have an enemies list you should at least have a long one. That shows you’re really important. His is pathetic, just like him.
Making Nixon’s enemies list was a badge of honor.
Making O’Reilly’s… it’s not even a badge of humor.
My Name is Bill Doherty and I would like to be put on his list.
Hey O’Reilly you are scum!
Hey is that good enough ya think? Oh and by the way I am a native born San Franciscan.
Fuck him and all the people who think what he says is even remotely true or accurate. Boycott Fox.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Bill O’Rielly is an IDIOT. Can’t we all just talk about PHONE SEX? :crazy:
I personally emailed him and asked him if he would consider adding me to his prestigious list in addition to the ones that are already destroying our freedoms.
I closed the email out with "Happy Holidays." That must piss him off. If he replies, I will post the response to my site.
I hope he adds me, it would be great.
I think all bloggers will be listed eventually.
Are you telling me that the "6 or 7" that consistently point out his hatred, misguided ramblings, and just plain rank diatribes are not on his list?
For shame for shame … he does not know where the fire is … O’Really? is a legend in his own mind.
Bill Oreally is such a clown! Like we’re going to believe anything HE says. I love MSNBC. Keep up the good work. :o) (We’re obviously getting on Bill’s nerves…yeah!!
Haha…poor, old impotent O’Reilly.
After mentioning he was going to start his enemies list, people laughed and practically dared him to do it. So he had no choice but to do it or look like a windbag wuss.
But people with a brain know that by listing the sites of people who expose his lies, smears, and falsehoods he is giving them the chance to further their audience. So he has no choice but to put up an embarassing, weak list like this and then offer no explanation or proof to back his claims. this way his zombie listeners don’t have to do any critical thinking. They can just say that O’Reilly said they are bad so I will say it too.
Arianna Huffington has pledged to hand deliver a list of everyone who asks to be included on the enemies list to O’Reilly personally. It’s easy to sign up; if a technophobe like me can do it, anyone can. Just go to Huffingtonpost.com and register.
Air America didn’t even get honorable mention? Jeez, what criteria does he use?
"smear merchant and alleged sex offender"?
I hope this was intended to be ironic – until he’s convicted couldn’t we try to avoid smearing the smearer? I’d feel dirty stooping to his level.
You can tell guys who are struggling to smile. O’Reilly probably had to take a nap after smiling for this picture.
WOW! He looks like he’s struggling to smile! HOLY SHIT! Is that picture doctored up?
It looks like one of those "evil" smiles…if there was audio on this picture, it would be the evil laugh, "MOO HOO HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"…..
He’s coming out with a new book:
"SMEARING….FOR KIDS"….
MOO HOO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He had to go on a several-week BOTOX regemin to "ramp up" for this seldom-used smile…then had to be rushed to the hospital afterwards.
I’ll be playing here all ze veek….
That isn’t a smile. That’s a Bushesque smirk. The subtext is, "There goes another pathetic liberal."
The best way to deal with O’Reilly is to expose his lies (also the best way to deal with Bush). Not with name-calling with facts. O’Reilly once wrote that he grew up in Levittown on Long Island, a middle-class community. In fact, he grew up in Westbury, a wealthy enclave. When caught (by Michael Moore) in the lie, his answer was "I lived in the Levittown section of Westbury."
There’s no such thing as a Levittown section of Westbury, any more than there’s a Hempstead section of Garden City or a Hicksville section of Syosset. O’Reilly was clearly trying to portray himself as a regular Joe from middle-class roots, when he was really a child of privilege. In this sense O’Reilly was trying to copy Bush, a spoiled brat from Greenwich who became a Texas cowboy.
