But that's what scares me...I don't know what the hell he is thinking when he says "horror", but "boycott" is not the first thing that comes to my mind. It's irresponsible. I'm rarely one to "blame" a talking head for the individual actions of nutjobs, but the first person who torches a store and scrawls, "O'Reilly rules, Merry Christmas!" on the walls, Bill will deserve every bit of backlash he gets. Talk about how much you hate it all you want, but "bring horror" is dangerously close to the line of inciting violence.
