O'Reilly is a Shameless Stain

Warning: You may not be able to get through this clip of O'Reilly blasting Amanda and calling her a villain without fury-induced heart palpitations.

Here's the bit to which I want to respond:

A bunch of far-left loons picked up some propaganda from the hate group Media Matters that said I am unsympathetic to the plight of crime victims—a preposterous lie.

Really? REALLY?! Do tell, Bill, what was sympathetic about the time you suggested that a 15-year-old boy who'd been kidnapped and held captive for four years was probably staying with his kidnapper because he was having "a lot more fun then when he had under his own parents. He didn't have to go to school; he could run around and do what he wanted. ... I think when it all comes down, what's going to happen is, there was an element here that this kid liked about his circumstances." And what was sympathetic about your refusal to apologize "when it all came down" and it turned out the child had been repeatedly raped and tortured?

And do tell, Bill, what was sympathetic to the potential victims when you endorsed violent acts against liberals, like taking care of liberal bloggers with a hand grenade or suggesting Al Qaeda blow up San Francisco? And how much time did you spend being sympathetic to the victims of the Knoxville Church Shooter who read your books and took your suggestion that the best way to deal with liberals is with violence?

And I guess I don't need to point out that it's not particularly sympathetic to the "villainous" Amanda Terkel that you sent your minion to stalk and ambush her in a borderline criminal stunt which she summarizes thus: "I write a blog post highlighting comments O'Reilly made during his radio show. He sends his henchmen to harass me. I can't immediately recall a three-year old O'Reilly interview when accosted on the street. He refuses to explain or apologize for implying that a dead rape victim should have been expecting the crime. And I'm the villain."

Bill, I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Preposterous indeed.
