Bill O’Reilly: Liberal bloggers = blackmailers.

Last night, O’Reilly said: “[W]hat people don’t understand is that these Internet bloggers give messages to these candidates: ‘If you don’t do what we tell you to do, we will trash you and try to interfere with your fundraising.’ ” Right-wing columnist Dick Morris later asserted that O’Reilly is “a great rallying point for” liberal bloggers, to which O’Reilly replied: “But I think it’s a danger to have blackmailers, which is what these bloggers are, active in the political process.” Media Matters has the video.
