O’Reilly: Can we 'Arrest (Obama spokesman Bill) Burton?
Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 12:50 PM by Pirate Smile
O’Reilly: Can we arrest Obama spokesman Bill Burton ‘for being mean’ to Megyn Kelly?

On Monday, Fox News host Megyn Kelly interviewed Bill Burton, a spokesman for Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL). As she repeated the right-wing talking points alleging Obama has a “socialist” agenda, Burton criticized Fox’s constant coverage of the ridiculous claims. After Kelly described the interview to Bill O’Reilly last night, O’Reilly lept to her defense, wondering — slightly in jest — whether they could “arrest Burton and charge him with anything for being mean to Megyn.” Watch it:

In 2006, O’Reilly infamously threatened a caller into his radio show with “a little visit” from “Fox security” for having the audacity to utter Keith Olbermann’s name.

Arrest Burton!

New frontiers in the Obama-Fox relationship.

3. Instead of trying to be funny, I thought they were supposed to be fair?
How fair is it when they want to arrest people because THEY oppose what was said?

People just won't appear on Faux news anymore. Keith Olbermann needs to do a piece on this.

4. How does O'Reilly still have a job...
I still remember when he was on Letterman and Letterman called him out for like 80% of what he says being total crap.
