Is Bill O'Reilly Headed for a McCarthy-esque Meltdown?
I can't explain my fascination. Maybe it's like watching a car accident. Or an al Qaeda attack on San Francisco.
But I'm really starting to think that Bill O'Reilly is having an apoplectic meltdown. He's imploding -- saying he needs bodyguards, attacking as "liberal" this conservative newspaper and then that one, and then, Pat Robertson-style, practically calling on terrorists to blow up San Francisco. And finally, in true O'Reilly fashion, refusing to admit he's wrong about any of this.
My prediction: within the next year, he'll be off the air.
I'm not the only one who thinks O'Reilly's gone off the deep end. He's reaching a critical mass of derision in the same way that Joe McCarthy did in the '50s before Edward R. Murrow put him away -- and methinks he'll meet the same fate.
Update: Bill has promised to publish an enemies list, but nothing's posted yet.

O'Really?
My "personal issue" should be your issue, too, Mr. Anonymous: I have a distaste for craven demagogues.
Maybe my mother just raised me wrong that way.

You know, I have the same trouble at my blog. The conservatives who stop by and throw a bomb or two never want to leave their name for soem reason.
Hmmm, I wonder why that is?
Great post SB, keep it up.
