Bill O’Reilly gets a taste of his medicine…
Hey, Bill, how does that taste? Calling All Wingnuts’ Mike Stark pays a visit to The Falafel King’s home to ask him some probing questions. Ya know, like he does to people he disagrees with. More at dKos, including pictures…
After O’Reilly provided an “accountability moment” to the JetBlue CEO at his home, I decided to provide O’Reilly with his own accountability moment at his home.
I’ve just returned to home base.
I’ve got video of O’Reilly in his sleepwear (red shorts and a white t-shirt). I delivered the Andrea Mackris Court filings to all of his neighors - every home in his development got a copy. And I put a bunch of signs up along his street - “Bill O’Reilly: Andrea Mackris has your cash” directly across from his house; “Bill O’Reilly: PERVERT” in front of his home; “Bill O’Reilly: CHEATER” on the road he must take to exit his development and “Bill O’Reilly: Can’t be trusted with your daughters” at the landmark boulder marking the entrance to his development.
We had an interesting conversation - not too explosive, but I think a lot of people will be entertained.
It’s about time someone pulled this crap on O’Reilly.
One Trackback To “Open Thread“
I’m sure Bill’s children appreciated it too. Seems like a pretty stupid move if you ask me.
Sorry, but this is creepy.
Couldn’t have happened to a bigger asshole, and sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, but… creepy.
And Bush wants to bring these monsters over here because, well, they worked for Bush.

Yeah, as funny as that is and as much as he deserves it, isn’t that just stooping to his silly level? Turn about is fair play and all and perhaps he really should know what it feels like I wouldn’t have gone that far.
Not crazy about these ambush tactics but I gotta admit that O’Reilly had it coming. If he can pull it on those he disagrees with, he better not complain about what Stark did to him. To do so would be hypocritical (and ridiculous).
You made your bed, O’Reilly…now lie in it.
I think it’s great!! :-)
where was Fox security?!?!?
MIKE STARK, YOU’RE MY HERO!!!
You deserve some kind of reward for this one. Email me and tell me what I can do for you. A donation to your site, to a candidate…you name it (just don’t ask me to anything too weird or anything that requires the use of a loofah or a falafel).
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, Absolutey Yes!
Give it right back to the hypocritical SNOB!!!
Mike Stark is a great American! This is almost as good as when a passerby, in New Orleans I think- after Katrina, told Cheney to his face, to go f*** himself.
A lot of comments on this one at Kos.
Hey, ta hell with O’Reilly. He does this to other people. I kind of think they should’ve taken a less jovial approach about it but it’s time for this prick to eat some of his own bullshit.
What can he say here? He’s done this to a lot of people and the judges that let off child rapists it’s a little less hard to get worked up about but the CEO of JetBlue..are you kidding me?? That guy has every right to make legal marketing choices without getting smeared on a nightly cable show.
Sorry buddy, you started this shit. Enjoy it.
BTW, this was one hell of a bad day for O’Reilly. What comes around…
Meh, being a douchebag to a douchebag isn’t going to change anything. Plus this is stalkerish and as someone else said, kind of creepy. I feel bad for BillO’s family (though I don’t feel bad for him).
Turn about is fair play. I could not care less what Billo thinks or whether poor Billo was “ambushed”. In fact, I think Stark is doing a community service by notifying the neighborhood that they have a sicko living there; beware a nightmare on elm street and all, folks - this guy’s going through meltdown. But he should have had the signs professionally made.
What better way to demonstrate to someone what a crappy thing it is to do to someone else. Perhaps there’s teensy chance that Bill-O will think twice about doing this?
Nah! He’ll be suing the guy within days. Jerk
Good work Mike Stark. The only thing these Fascists understand is getting in their face.
Reasoning with them is a total waste of time.
This guy just made Bill into a martyr … which is disappointing. Even more disappointing is that C&L publicizes it.
Really no need to stoop to O’Reilly’s level. 2 thumbs down.
I have but one thing to say:
EAT MY JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Yes, that is a reference to Ben Edlund’s “The Tick”)

He got what he deserves. None of this type of behavior, regardless of who does it, is good but O’Reilly continually bullies, intimidates and defames those who disagree with his ideological view. How about the people and their families which have to endure his spew? How about them? You reap what you sow.
“Isn’t this stooping to his level?” What a bunch of wimps. Bill deserves worse than that. He should be dogged every moment of the day. He has riuned more lives than one can count. His hate and venom deserve no quarter. Being nice and non-confuntational got us to this Bush-Cheney; right wing message dominated mess we are in now. I say take the fight to them and don’t let up!
Had a reality-check-like thought about today’s posting on the Paging Dr. Gupta Blog.
Fudgy Gupta sez: “To get to the Carteret Islands requires five separate airplane flights and a helicopter ride…”
While that may be true for Fudgy, the travel details may not be required for everyone. How were the islands initially populated? Couldn’t the entire journey be made by car, ship, and boat? Why can’t the facts on transportation requirements be reported accurately?
By the way…all of you advocating a “Take the high road” or “Two wrong’s don’t make a right” type approach….it’s that kind of thinking that has given this kind of scum (Bill, El Tubbo, Ann Coulter, et, all) free reign, allowing them to freely distort reality…..we need to not act like……liberals….sometimes.

This wasn’t done to silence him for his views like he does to others all the time–it was done specifically to let him know how underhanded these tactics are. These lowlifes have been bullying others with impunity for years and personally, I love that our side is fighting fire with fire. About time!
Wow, can Kos be bigger idiots?
Ever hear about stooping to someone’s level?
A guy like O’Reilly isn’t going to get the irony. It is beyond him. So all Kos, et al are doing is making themselves look foolish.
.
Brilliant! I wish I thought of it. The hypocrisy of the right knows no bounds, and we should not hesitate to point it out.
Good lord, anyone who takes pity on Bill or his family because of this doesn’t get it. This should be happening to him every second day, at least! I say let him have a taste.
I don’t get how pointing out that he’s an on the job sexual harasser / predator will turn him into a martyr.
AWESOME
You’re just giving him ammo. Watch now as he spins straw into gold before your very eyes.
I don’t generally side with the camp that states we should fight fire with fire on the lowest of gutter levels as it does nothing to elevate the civility and discourse on a particular issue or subject, nor can one look back and claim they took the high road, but in a bully’s case such as O’Reilly, I say all bets are off since all a bully ever understands is like behavior. This man is a well known liar and partisan hack who engages in such gutter yellow journalistic practices almost daily on either his radio or TV programs. Why is it alright for O’Reilly’s minion producers to ambush a person on their property with an “Are you still beating your wife?” approach, and then editting the segment to fit O’Reilly’s framing/prejudices of an issue? For example, he continues to attack DailyKos as a hate site, and yet allowed hateful postings on his paid site since its inception? If that’s not hypocrisy in its purest form I don’t know what is. All a bully such as O’Reilly or Hannity understand is a counterpunch, and it’s about time that those on the Left fire back. We have been nice for way too long.
People who live in glass houses, Bill …
If this has caused any pain to Billo’s family I’m sorry. But it’s Billo who has brought all this on himself. As my mother used to say, if you play in mud it gets in your eye.
This is perfect! If you wanna deal with a bully, you have to confront him and make him feel small!
Vitam Vas @ 21:
Make that American Liberals, the left in this country is reduced to a bunch of sorry ineffective pansies…
The brutes have the floor and asking politely ain’t the solution to clean the feces they are leaving everywhere. Even Gandhi managed to keep his dignity and stick it to the Brits, and yes he did so in a peaceful manner but he was not that concerned about the feelings of those subjugating his country.
Putting a blowhard like Bill O in his place is not only a brave thing to do, but when these idiots in the right have got a free reign of fear for what seems decades… whether or not their feelings are hurt should be the last of our priorities. These people have been fucking the country royally by the millions, a single individual’s feelings pale in comparison in my book.
Speaking of O’Reilly why is C&L advertising for him?
Very creepy - worse than O’Reilly.
Not worthy of C&L.
All this low and creepy stuff wouldn’t be necessary if the people who though they had a representation in Congress could expect some action from their left-wing leaders. They disappointed. They proved to be not what’s been expected of them. But come on. If you’re confused and want to direct you disappointment and anger at someone, how about doing it to your democratic leaders!? The right wing doesn’t govern anymore. The power has shifted if you haven’t noticed. The tools, laws, Constitutional powers are in the Democrats’ hands now. The Right in general, Fox and right wing bloggers only provide a “discredited, irrelevant” commentary at this point. You should have done the “fighting” when there was time for it. Bashing and stalking these people NOW is just disgraceful and surely distracting, and I’m sure the left can do better than that. Way better than that. I for one will not distract myself from feeling and expressing utter contempt for the Democratic Congress and the left-wing enablers just to feel better about this sinking ship called America.
I think this goes too far. Yes, we need to fight back, but we shouldn’t stoop to his level.
I don’t feel sorry for O’Reilly nor do I think this is stooping to his level. He threatens people, slanders people, and intimidates people with the full weight of his billion dollar network on regular basis. He distorts reality and manipulates people with one of the broadest media platforms in history. Two pudgy guys putting posterboards in front of his house isn’t even remotely comparable.
Creepy as it may be, you have to stand up for yourself when your bullied or else the bully will walk all over you. Congrats, your doing a good job.
absolutely time to take off the kid gloves. the repubs count on the civility of the liberal element. seems we always look to see if there is another side of an issue. well, no more. we need hard hitting pull no punches investigative journalism. there isn’t another side. there never has been.
I feel so simpathy for him. He’s a jerk and kindness hasn’t helped us at all with this jerk. A bully never gets a change of heart UNTIL someone gives them a taste of their own medicine. He needs to be humbled and its a small miracle no one has punched him in the jaw yet.
Mike Stark did the right thing and considering the threats Billo made to him about getting his listeners to show up at his house, I think Mike showed considerable restraint. These people don’t play by the rules of decency so the only way you can effect change is to make them understand that their tactics will eventually be turned around on them. We’ve been the polite ones for too long and where has it gotten us? To quote Malcolm X–”By any means necessary.”
OMFG! No wonder the right paints the left as a bunch of panty waist! A lot of you are! (Oh we shouldn’t do this, let’s allow him to continue his abuse and lies about the left. Lets play nice, maybe he’ll go away…)
The best way to confront a bully is by punching square in the nose! A bully fears nothing more than being found out that he is really a coward at heart!
Daily Kos did a great job of exposing Bill O’s tactics for what they are…chicken shit and weak!
I say bravo!
I hope Bill goes after Stark. He can use the hits. How do you like the far left now, Bill?
BatJack @ 19:
Exactly !!! Liberals and DINOs go on shows such as O’Reilly’s and behave with civility and decorum that O’Reilly cherishes and looks to exploit in his favor. Tonight he got the wimpy Harold Ford to agree with just about all the partisan filth out of his mouth in his attack of DailyKos, but did Ford call him on the fact that O’Reilly cherrypicked comments from Kos, or that O’Reilly’s paid site also dealt in hate, and only had his hateful comments removed when the attention boomeranged back at him? No. No! Harold Ford just sat there nodding in agreement taking all of O’Reilly’s slop. All a bully understands is a punch in the mouth, and it’s time we started punching back.
Nasty outbreak of concern trolls here. Must be some ointment for that…
Mike Stark has been doing this sort of thing long enough that he knows where to draw the line. He knows better than to lay himself open to a trespass charge, for example. Which makes it all the more startling that Bildo actually came out to play.
I do take issue with the claim that O’Reilly does this. Not quite: he sends his
flying monkeys“producers” to execute his ambushes.Maybe Fox Security (a wholly owned subsidiary of Blackwater?) will be paying a call on Mr Stark later.
I’m no fan of O’Really’s and there is a certain satisfaction one could get by meeting him in his driveway with microphone in hand….but it seems to me that Mike Stark has way too much time on his hands.
Good for Mark Stark. Too many leftist want to “play nice”. Screw that, fight fire with fire.
If Stark had published Awful Falafel’s address and encouraged people to harrass him, that would be stooping to the level of the wingnuts.
Speaking truth to power means you have to confront power somewhere. Like it or not, Bilious has power, and he uses it to direct his minions to do his bidding.
Mike Wallace and 60 Minutes made “ambush journalism” a mainstream technique. Stark didn’t try to threaten or intimidate Vibrator Man. He stood back and was clearly visible to OhReally? from a distance. The cameraman was across the street.
The signs and transcripts were intended to expose Vile Gasbag’s hypocrisy and lack of moral authority. If Stark had his own daily television show and a staff of toadies, and the production values were higher, would he still be getting criticized the way he is?
I’d go on, but I”m out of epithets for the
Culture warriorCreepy WankerCreepy or not, we have taken the high road for far too long with this madman who has openly threatened people on the phone, spewed hate, intimidated people, lies, misleads, cheerleads for the Bush Cartel, you name it Bill has done it.
Too bad for his family, but he has pushed people around for too long. You simply cannot continue to deal nicely with people like Bill O’Reilly, Dick Cheney, Chimpy Bush and others of their ilk. Had they been put in their place long ago, it never would have come to this point. Bullies like Bill O’Reilly just get worse and worse if they are not delt with swiftly and firmly.
People like Bill O count on people being polite and taking the high road. It’s good to see him get back some of what he’s been peddling.
In the next few days, we’ll see just how big of a whiner he is. :D
Mike Start should be cloned. No one else is going to fight for you and don’t forget what O’Reilly has done. He’s a thug and a bully.
Remember this one;
“Bill O’Reilly of Fox News Channel had his producer follow the columnist, Joanne Ostrow, to a parking lot and conduct an ambush interview asking her whether she wanted to apologize.

and
O’Reilly threatens “Mike” with a visit from Fox security.
