AMANDA CARPENTER IGNORES DEATH THREATS ON HER OWN SITE!
During the O'reilly Factor segment "policing the net," Bill O'reilly brought on his "internet cop" Amanda Carpenter to discuss hateful posts on leftwing blogs, such as the Daily Kos and The Huffington Post. O'reilly and Carpenter both attacked the leftwings sites, claiming there is nothing as hateful coming from rightwing sites.
It seems that before the internet cop Amanda Carpenter went on patrol, she forgot to monitor her own website, townhall. A poster on townhall posted the following threats against Barrack Obama:
"These aren't threats. These are blood-oath promises," "You don't allow cancer to grow - you cut it out before it kills you," he/she begins. "There is a cancer growing in this country, and it is called Marxist leftism, which has found a willing home in the Democratic Party...It is reaching its culmination in the Obama campaign. Pray to God they are defeated by the ballot, which will make the bullet unnecessary."
"I have never seen things more clearly than I do right now. The time for compromising with evil is over. It is time to destroy it, before it destroys me, my family and our liberty."
"There are some things worth fighting for, dying for and, yes, killing for. It is better for one man to die than for a whole nation to perish."
The townhall poster made further threats, but the point is clear. I wonder if Bill O'reilly will have his internet cop police her own site. If Bill O'reilly and Amanda Carpenter had any integrity, they would condemn these comments along with the dozens of others posted on rightwing blogs every single day. They won't, though. They will selectively point to the leftwing blogs and say all the hate comes from the left, even if the evidence points in the other direction. This is pretty typical coming from a man who had to settle a sexual harassment suit and a women known for making false claims against Democrats.

This lady should not Be O'reilly's "internet cop." Tonight she was claiming that Ann Coulter was a victim.
