Bill O’Reilly pummels Mary Sanchez for defending Bill O’Reilly

Fox News blowhard Bill O’Reilly is still trying to clear his conscience in the wake of the assassination of abortion provider George Tiller. He’s still feeling awfully guilty for repeatedly referring to the doctor as “Tiller the baby killer.” After Tiller was gunned down in a Wichita church, O’Reilly claimed he’d never referred to Tiller as “the baby killer,” attributing the moniker to anti-abortion groups.

Enter Kansas City Star columnist Mary Sanchez to O’Reilly’s defense. No, really:

Not long after news of the murder hit the Internet, liberal bloggers

had assembled a video montage of Bill O’Reilly repeating “Tiller the

Killer” on various broadcasts, along with other choice bits of

blood-curdling vituperation. The point was to demonstrate that

O’Reilly, by endlessly calling Tiller a killer, was culpable for

inspiring Roeder’s act of murder. I hate to be in the position of

defending O’Reilly, but what he is guilty of is the lesser charge of

propagating ignorance on an important issue.

Last night, Sanchez appeared in the “no spin zone” and O’Reilly wasn’t exactly grateful as Sanchez, from the “far left” newspaper, expressed her opposition to all abortions.
