Fresh off his suggestion that his success was proof of the existence of God, Bill O’Reilly draws a new parallel— one that really doesn’t merit a response (at least a verbal one):
O’Reilly says his views have made him a target.
“My life is dangerous now,” he said. “You know, I have bodyguards and security. I can’t go many places. I can’t be in certain crowd situations. When I do a book signing, I gotta have a phalanx of state troopers there, because there are crazy people. And then there’re the websites and all of that, which are just totally out of control.
“They encourage these nuts. You know, I was thinking about John Lennon, you know, and John Lennon was tryin’ to be a nice guy, signing the guy’s thing, and [Chapman] pops him. So, that is the worst part of the whole Factor experience. The best part is I get to look out for the folks. And the folks know it. They know it. I’ve been doing this for more than 12 years.”
