Shakespeare's Sister: Bill O'Reilly and the Threats Against McDermott
Melissa McEwan, who blogs as Shakespeare's Sister (Google it, kids), points out
that by "total coincidence," the same day Charles Turner Habermann threatened to kill US Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA), Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly published a column attacking McDermott "for daring to suggest (while discussing whether to extend the Bush tax cuts) that Jesus might have been more concerned about helping the poor get their unemployment checks than he would in ensuring rich guys get their tax cuts."
(Also totally coincidental? The fact that a faux-bullet-riddled billboard advertising Rush Limbaugh's radio show stands in Tuscon, home of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, advertising the right-wing shock jock as a "straight shooter.")
