He went after the blogosphere.
Specifically, he did his best to make fundraising and sponsorship deals difficult for the largest annual Netroots conference, then named YearlyKos. Even more specifically, O'Reilly sent a film crew to harass the CEO of JetBlue, one of the convention's sponsors.
Before we go any further, I should say that for you to fully understand the video embedded at the end of this post, you'll need some background. If you are already familiar with the Andrea Mackris ordeal, you're all set - you can skip to the video. Otherwise, read on...
A few years ago, Andrea Mackris - a producer for O'Reilly's television show - threatened to bring suit against Bill O'Reilly and the Fox Network for sexual harassment. O'Reilly and Fox management immediately went into battle-mode. They smeared Mackris and denyied everything.
Luckily, Mackris was prepared. She had recorded several of the conversations O'Reilly and Fox denied ever happened. In her pleading - the first step of a law-suit - she transcribed some of the conversations verbatim. They were hilarious.
Here's but a sample (remember - these are O'Reilly's exact words):
Well, if I took you down there then I'd want to take a shower with you right away, that would be the first thing I'd do ... yeah, we'd check into the room, and we would order up some room service and uh and you'd definitely get two wines into you as quickly as I could get into you I would get 'em into you ... maybe intravenously get those glasses of wine into you...
You would basically be in the shower and then I would come in and I'd join you and you would have your back to me and I would take that little loofa thing and kinda' soap up your back ... rub it all over you, get you to relax, hot water .... and um ... you know, you'd feel the tension drain out of you and uh you still would be with your back to me then I would kinda' put my arm -- it's one of those mitts those loofa mitts you know, so I got my hands in it ... and I would put it around front, kinda' rub your tummy a little bit with it, and then with my other hand I would start to massage your boobs, get your nipples really hard ... 'cuz I like that and you have really spectacular boobs....
So anyway I'd be rubbing your big boobs and getting your nipples really hard, kinda' kissing your neck from behind ... and then I would take the other hand with the falafel (sic) thing and I'd put it on your pussy but you'd have to do it really light, just kind of a tease business...
So... When O'Reilly decided to tell a bunch of vile and viscious lies about the progressive Netroots, I decided to provide O'Reilly with his own Accountability Moment. Since O'Reilly had decided it was appropriate to accost people at their homes, I chose to visit him at his. Here's the video:
