OK . . . so after all the wacko's on the other side who called George Bush a terrorist, called Cheney a dictator, etc. etc. were heeded, and some idiot from that side shot one of them, would you say the same? Keith Olbermann made some pretty inflamatory statements, not necessarily wrong, but inflammatory.

O'Reilly called out Tiller on numerous occasions, and I wonder how he feels about that now. But given that Tiller performed partial-birth abortions, what part of "baby killer" was an incorrect or untruthful statement? Put aside that there may be valid legal arguements for allowing late term abortions. These would have been in almost every case viable fetuses. Was O'Reilly lying?

Besides, the Tiller case wasn't about election politics and thus likely wouldn't have been applicable under the Fairness Doctrine anyway.

(No, I don't think what happened to Tiller was just, not in any way. I actually support abortion rights.)
