O'Reilly goons harass Tucker at her home

Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Sat, Sep 6, 2008 at 8:13 PM

The AJC's Cynthia Tucker clearly struck a nerve on Wednesday when she used her column to demonstrate how Fox News Senior Falafel Correspondent Bill O'Reilly is a ginormous phony.

After calling her a "nut" a couple days ago, O'Reilly sent a camera-wielding goon squad to Atlanta this morning to ambush the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist while she was carrying her groceries.

According to Tucker's colleague, AJC columnist Jay Bookman, the goon squad yelled loaded questions at Tucker that blatantly misrepresented the points she made in her recent column, which noted O'Reilly's selective outrage on the subject of teen pregnancy.

O'Reilly publicly condemned Lynne Spears after her 16-year-old daughter Jamie Lynn became pregnant. Yet, O'Reilly has been supportive of Republican V.P. candidate Gov. Sarah Palin, whose 17-year-old daughter Bristol is pregnant.

One can only guess at O'Reilly's motives for sending a crew to ambush Tucker at her home. It sounds to me like the self-pitying talk show host was hoping to gather unflattering footage of Tucker to air on his show.

In other words, O'Reilly lost the factual argument, so he's lashing out like a whiny little bitch.

If ever a grown man needed to be put in time-out, it's Bill O'Reilly.

The FNN goon squad can try their best to get an unflattering portrait of Tucker, but they'd have to resort to Photoshopping to do so. Oh but wait, it's Fox News. Silly me. I forgot. They do that kinda photoshoppe shit on a regular basis! On "liberals" of course. Take pity on them though. Imagine the hell they suffer in at FNN... of being as twisted in moral media knots as their thugs and wackos surely must be. Think of how hard it is to be "the media" when "the media" is responsible for everything that's wrong with this country. Like knocking-up all those 17-year old Alaska country gals, for instance.

At this point you gotta ask... what would YOU do if Fox News goons showed up at your front door? (And don't think I didn't see you fall your drunk ass off that horse at Rancho AJC Pink Pony, Sue Ellen Ewing. You trashy little piece of...) http://mostlymedia.wordpress.com/2008/09/08/what-would-you-do-if-a-fox-news-crew-showed-up-on-your-doorstep/

O'Reilly needs a hard kick in the sack.
