Now O'Reilly has to issue another retraction

Biden told him to go to hell. From Media Matters:

During the segment, O'Reilly stated: "What is significant is that this website [DailyKos] and the others mentioned have intimidated the entire Democratic presidential field, with the exception of [Sen.] Joseph Biden [DE], who will not go to that convention [YearlyKos]. And we respect the senator for that." In response, Biden's campaign posted a diary entry on Daily Kos describing O'Reilly's comments as "reckless" and "a total misrepresentation." Biden's campaign further stated:

The simple truth is Joe Biden would be at YearlyKos if he could, but adding a book tour to all the demands of a campaign meant some things had to change. But we won't stand by and let Bill O'Reilly try to drive a wedge between the progressive online community and us to make a false point on behalf of his half-baked theories.

While not always agreeing with all members of the DailyKos community, Joe Biden respects what the YearlyKos convention -- a diverse assembly of activists and organizations -- represents as a vehicle for progressives to organize and advocate on behalf of democratic ideals and the Democratic Party.

I still haven't heard O'Reilly specifically denounce the threats against Hillary Clinton that appeared on BillOReilly.com. Or the comments approving of Rosie O'Donnell's death. Or the comments about launching a terrorist strike against the US Capitol building. Or the bigoted comments about Muslim-Americans and Islam. Speaking of which, why is BMW sponsoring such hate? Let's ask them - particularly since Lowes and Home Depot have now said that they will never advertise on O'Reilly's shows again.
