More on Bill O'Reilly's hit list.

Why is the St. Petersburg Times on O'Reilly's "enemies list?" I got curious, so I went to their site and did a little looking around. It's pretty funny how petty O'Reilly is.

I would guess it's related to this story.

The fact that a Muslim group's request for a holiday sparked the calendar change made the issue particularly contentious. The Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly has focused on the involvement of Muslims, many of whom objected to the removal of all religious holidays and fought to keep Jewish and Christian observances on the calendar.

"To the average person, the misinformed person, they're thinking the Muslims somehow are responsible for Christians and Jews losing their holidays," said Ahmed Bedier, Florida director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

"They're thinking, how dare the School Board get rid of holidays for the Muslims. If this was a Baptist group coming forward, we would not be having this conversation."


Some action of a local school board in Florida garners his attention, and the local paper gets on the enemies list. It's not like there's anything bigger going on in the world. I'm assuming there is some great statement in one of these stories about this that has "regularly helped distribute defamation and false information supplied by far left websites," according to O'Reilly.

I've already spent too much time on this, but if you want to dig deeper, here's their website, and a search of their site for all references "Bill O'Reilly."
