A caller calls into O'Lielly's talk show and mentions Keith Olbermann. O'Lielly then cuts him off and threatens him with a vist from "fox security", haha! I never have liked Bill O'Lielly, the guy has an ego the size of Jupiter.
Video and sound clip of the conversation is here: http://mediamatters.org/items/200603030010 QUOTE Summary: On his nationally syndicated radio show, Bill O'Reilly threatened to turn over the personal information of a caller to "Fox security" because the caller mentioned MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. As Media Matters has noted, in recent weeks, Olbermann has repeatedly awarded O'Reilly the "Worst Person in the World" designation during his show, MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann.
On the March 2 broadcast of Westwood One's The Radio Factor, host Bill O'Reilly threatened to turn over the personal information of a caller to "Fox security" because the caller mentioned MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. As Media Matters for America has noted, in recent weeks, Olbermann has repeatedly awarded O'Reilly the "Worst Person in the World" designation during his show, MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. O'Reilly has responded, on several occasions, by asserting that MSNBC "is a true ratings disaster." The caller began by telling O'Reilly, "I like to listen to you during the day." Continuing, the caller stated, "I think Keith Olbermann's show," at which point O'Reilly disconnected the call, proclaiming: "Mike is -- he's a gone guy. You know, we have his -- we have your phone numbers, by the way. So, if you're listening, Mike, we have your phone number, and we're going to turn it over to Fox security, and you'll be getting a little visit." Co-host E.D. Hill -- who also co-hosts Fox News' Fox & Friends -- chimed in: "Maybe Mike is from the mothership." O'Reilly responded that the caller was "going to get into big trouble, because we're not going to play around." Warning his listeners, O'Reilly continued: "When you call us, ladies and gentleman, just so you know, we do have your phone number, and if you say anything untoward, obscene, or anything like that, Fox security will then contact your local authorities, and you will be held accountable. Fair?" Apparently, O'Reilly decided that mentioning Olbermann's name was "untoward" or "obscene." After Hill agreed with O'Reilly's apparent policy of turning over a caller's personal information to the authorities as being "fair," O'Reilly warned again that callers making "untoward" and "obscene" statements "will be held accountable. Believe it." On the February 23 edition of his Fox News television program, The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly announced the launch of a petition on his website, www.BillO'Reilly.com, calling for the reinstatement of Phil Donahue, who previously hosted a show on MSNBC in the same 8 p.m. ET time slot as Olbermann's show. During the February 24 edition of Countdown, in response to O'Reilly's campaign, Olbermann aired a number of video clips from past Countdown editions and commented on several of the claims in O'Reilly's petition. The weblog Crooks & Liars noted that the caller apparently was blogger Mike Stark, who has suggested on his Calling All Wingnuts blog that he is engaged in a campaign to call in to The Radio Factor to irritate O'Reilly. From the March 2 broadcast of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly: O'REILLY: Orlando, Florida, Mike, go. CALLER: Hey Bill, I appreciate you taking my call. O'REILLY: Sure. CALLER: I like to listen to you during the day, I think Keith Olbermann's show -- O'REILLY: There ya go, Mike is -- he's a gone guy. You know, we have his -- we have your phone numbers, by the way. So, if you're listening, Mike, we have your phone number, and we're going to turn it over to Fox security, and you'll be getting a little visit. HILL: Maybe Mike is from the mothership. O'REILLY: No, Maybe Mike is going to get into big trouble, because we're not going to play around. When you call us, ladies and gentleman, just so you know, we do have your phone number, and if you say anything untoward, obscene, or anything like that, Fox security then will contact your local authorities, and you will be held accountable. Fair? HILL: That's fair. O'REILLY: So, just -- all you guys who do this kind of a thing, you know, I know some shock jocks. Whatever. You will be held accountable. Believe it. We'll be right back. |

it sounds like o'riley dumped out before hanging up.
most talk shows have delays, typically around 8-seconds, and if someone says something that won't fly with the FCC, they hit the dump button, and the stream drops 3 seconds per press from the transmission. (if they press it 3 times, they're live). So while it may seem like he hung up for no reason, it sounds like (from the comments made afterwords) that hung up on him for saying something that's not generally airable. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

QUOTE (Jyan @ Mar 4 2006, 07:39 PM) Sure Johnnie, it's a conspiracy. i'm just wondering if thats really a piece of his radio show, or someone making it up. it honestly doesnt sound like him to me. O'Reilly always talks with many upward and downward tones in his voice (like question marks) and almost always has sarcastic features when he's talking about something. edit: and also, O'Reillys voice isn't as low as this one.
