O\u2019Reilly\u2019s language describing Tiller, and accusing the state and its elites of complicity in his actions, could become extremely vivid. On June 12, 2007, he said, \u201cYes, I think we all know what this is. And if the state of Kansas doesn\u2019t stop this man, then anybody who prevents that from happening has blood on their hands as the governor does right now, Governor Sebelius.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Three days later, he added, \u201cNo question Dr. Tiller has blood on his hands. But now so does Governor Sebelius. She is not fit to serve. Nor is any Kansas politician who supports Tiller\u2019s business of destruction. I wouldn\u2019t want to be these people if there is a Judgment Day. I just \u2014 you know \u2026 Kansas is a great state, but this is a disgrace upon everyone who lives in Kansas.

So, I&#8217;m the fascist, I&#8217;m the bad guy, I&#8217;m the problem. Not Tiller. No, he &#8212; no, no, no. He&#8217;s a good guy. Now, Tiller&#8217;s pumping all kinds of money into obviously the attorney general race. He wants the guy that&#8217;s gonna let him off the hook to win. Those of you listening in Kansas, you ought to know that. You know, I don&#8217;t &#8212; I&#8217;m not gonna tell you who to vote for. You guys know these guys better than I do, but I tell you what, anything Tiller wants, I&#8217;m voting the other way. And if I could get my hands on Tiller &#8212; well, you know. Can&#8217;t be vigilantes. Can&#8217;t do that. It&#8217;s just a figure of speech.<\/p>\n<p>But despicable? Oh, my God. Oh, it doesn&#8217;t get worse. Does it get worse?
