O'Reilly Factor investigates San Francisco values

[Jswizzle217]

See Oreily here in SF we have something called tolerance, we accept people different from ourselves and try not judge them for. You should try that for a change, but hey tolerance and conservative don't really go together well.

[Jswizzle217]

false not san francisco. there wasn't a single asian person in that video. And funny part was this was filmed in like all the shitty parts of town. How about Pac Height, or the Marina, or Sea Cliff (my hood jk), or the Richmond, or Saint Francis Woods, but no we film this in one neighborhood which happens to be a pretty crappy one. And ya who cares if people smoke weed and there a gay people, and hella weird people, so what we try not to judge them (kinda hard) and move on.

[babbacadabra]

Give me a mic and a camera Bill I will show you a different side to this town all together. Why are you such a misguiding lying piece of shit ? Your show is crap ! SF got swag and people hate ! I love my city ! Not to mention a lot of the homeless are veterans of war people who served your country Bill !! just shut the fuck up already !

[frakjrich23]

haha this is an awesome AD for san fran...makes it look ridiculously fun

[nadastarr]

you can't walk around in the city without running into panhandlers, prostitutes, junkies, homeless, or a guy who just decided to rollerblade with just a g-string and a feather boa on. but besides the panhandlers, the street element is not what bothers you... its just an eyesore. it's not a dangerous place. what you do need to watch out for are drunk mobs and clubgoers who are not from the city. these people treat the city like a toilet, just because they see human feces on the ground

[leafs4life3danield]

ok whats the san Francisco remix thats playing when they show the red light district

[leafs4life3danield]

ok whats the name of the san francisco remix that is played at the beginning

[MCHR58]

But I do know you. Haven't been to San Fran in 18 yrs. Been there, done that. Great views. Ho-hum. Ages 19-20 left an abusive home, moved into a slum hippie commune 1972-73, New Orleans. 22 of us--I was only one w/ a job (law firm run by "The Man.") Loved my friends, tho they used burglary & welfare by getting fired fm short-term jobs. What does your Dad's tax rate have to do w/ YOUR choices/ sense of entitlement? That'll get you nowhere, no matter how pretty your 'hood is. Help your dad. Work.

[thf415]

I bet you a billion dollars I could find the same thing in Houston or Dallas. So what if the cops arrest more marijuana smokers there. If you don't like it move, plain and simple.

[zombiejuice]

HAHAHAHAAH bill oreilly doesnt know fucking SHIT. the presidio is one of the safest places in san francisco. I'm from the bay I should know

[MCHR58]

@zombiejuice --That's because your one of the smoker/beggar/takers livin' off the rest of the country. I wonder how old you are. Never mind. I don't wanna know.

[zombiejuice]

@MCHR58 I'm 19, and yeah I'm DEFINITELY living off other people in this country, although income taxes take away about 30% of my dad's earnings. You don't even know me. Just like the people in this video, you are making gross generalizations about me judging on where I'm from. Anyone who lives in San Francisco can attest to the fact that this is a completely unrealistic account of life in the city. You should visit some time, it's a great place. Peace bro

[MCHR58]

@zombiejuice By the way, do you have to sleep with your smartphone and your laptop under your head at night, or do you just boost someone else's when you need to spew a little rant?

[darwincity]

Define "traditional America". The WASP one? The Italian-American one? The Irish one? Even though the motto states "E pluribus unum", the American society has always been multicultural in one way or another.

[adi87tya]

I love SF and it's the still the most beautiful city in the United States IMO. There is no rampant "liberal secularism" on the streets. The IT boom has caused many tech people like me to settle here and we're out there to contribute to the economy, not be hobos.

[daoboyorrantia]

hey bill... im from san francisco, and the most dangerous thing you will ever find in the precidio is a wild animal. your ignorance astounds me and the fact that you have your own television show that broadcasts your hatred around the country really makes me have a very bleak outlook for the state of mind of people who enjoy your show. I feel like it may be pointless to even touch on your bigotry towards homosexual people so ill say that you went to the only place with that many bums to record..

[MCHR58]

@daoboyorrantia WOW that was so awesome you had to rant it twice. Fahhhr out, man.

[daoboyorrantia]

[AmericaDevil]

Oh no, they have hippies and don't arrest people for smoking marijuana! SO horrible!

[pmbush1]

Who wants to be homeless in New York for crying out loud? It's either friggin' cold or friggin' hot and dope's a lot harder to come by. Enjoy your tranquil life over there on the East Coast ;-) We'll just keep stepping over the corpses here.

[livininspokane]

This is stupid. I've lived in SF, and other cities as well. SF is just like any other big city, I dare you to compare! They only show a couple of select neighborhoods in this piece of crap news cast, most of the city is not like this. Heck, I could make my current city, Spokane WA, look even worse than SF if I just stick to filming the right places, just like BillO's little friend did here.

[kquedoesla]

the united states would be safer with bill o'reilly off the streets.

[dannyglv789]

bill oreilly is a piece of sht

[jbbb427]

san francisco is def a scary place. hippies, progressives and liberals, oh my!

conservatives, please stay the fuck out of my city

[BakersfieldGamer4u]

O'Reilly should visit my city, it has horrible crime, high unemployment, very high income inequality, gangs, drugs, you name it. Also did I mention my city was ranked eighth most Conservative city in the United States in 2005. I would kill to live in San Francisco

[michaelshumake]

I live in San Francisco and I wouldn't ever want to live in another American city! San Francisco is a great place to live and raise kids. Sure there are some problems, but I've seen the same things in New York and Chicago. I feel way safer in San Francisco than in either of those other major cities!

[SirWinstonChurchill]

@michaelshumake

People sleeping in their own shit and piss at the bus station by the Moscone Center is just so aesthetic... and what would you do without all the gang shootings in the Mission District???

[gloconti]

Cus we shouldn't emulate a place where they are inclusive, tolerant and accepting. We should demonize a MAJOR city for having homeless people and a red light district...

Bill Oreilly folks!

And marijuana is to blame.

[vaulcan]

this is clip is a great example of idiocy.

weed everywhere? the homeless travel in pack? this jesse kid must have only stayed in the tenderloin.

for those who haven't been to SF, honestly, it's nothing like how these idiots at the o'reilly factor portray it.

[MCHR58]

@vaulcan So...O'Reilly Factor bad mean people made most of those sweet, blitzed street people say and do all those stupid, ignorant and infantile things in front of the camera. Wow! So you guys just roll over when the mean old conservatives wander into your stinky airspace and demand you talk, walk, dress and smell like hippies! You're, like, I don't know, totally amazing! What did you do, leave your spines in lockers at the bus terminal or something?

[loonmaniac]

O'Reilly likes to jack off into the potato salad.

[MannyOrtez]

"Almost every city has a Tenderloin District, and I mean, the North Beach, in San Francisco, is that."

Enough said. O'Reilly, you silly old rich man.

[PancakeRecipes]

"they travel in packs"

OMG I'm crying right now LOL this is such BS oh man. SF is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

[drifter6276]

Hey Bill, if you visit the North Beach, you can score some falafels for .89 cents. And what you do with them is your business.

Whatever happens is San Francisco, stays in the national media.

[joeyjj3]

It's the worst reporting you've ever seen because it isn't reporting. It's propaganda. It's all opinion. It's a half-assed cut of the worst parts of San Francisco they could find after weeks of street interviews.

You could do the same for any city in the world.

[mikey483]

I visited SF for the first time 2 years ago and I felt safe walking everywhere I went! Yes, it's true that there are many homeless people, but it's pretty expensive to live there. This "report" doesn't surprise me coming from HOAX News...always twisting the truth.

[itsjustmemarco]

haha my city is full of freaks and im damn proud of it!!!!!!!

[forestgremlin10]

this is ridiculous. they went to the worst parts of the city, which arent even as bad as some of the projects in New York or elsewhere. SF is a beautiful, mostly safe, tolerant city, and this is some of the worst reporting i have ever seen. I have never even seen a needle in a park, and people absolutely do not just smoke pot all over the place. fuck bill o'reilly.

p.s.: the presidio is empty and about as dangerous as a fucking country club, you would be more likely to get eaten by coyotes there

[billobo]

Travel in packs? WTF...

[AceBike415]

he went to two parts of the san francisco (which I am from) that are the worst. He didn't go to better and more beautiful parts of SF that makes SF what it is. Shame on these reporters.

[slidingpenguin13]

also the presidio is a fuckin army base. its federal property. u cant go on it at night you wll get arrested

[slidingpenguin13]

number one i am from san francisco and i think this was hilarious. Number one the Tenderloin isnt in north beach. north beach is the italian district. Its also funny cause the cops in san francisco are dicks. i got questioned cause they thought the cigarette i was holding was a joint.

[tjw12]

SF is a freak show of the brainless! Only in SF could the Train Wrecks that are Pelosi and Newsom get elected. Newsom is a complete fool only worries about himself and he could care the less about his true duties as Mayor; protecting the people of SF.

It is a beautiful city ruined by freaks! It really is very sad.

[Greenandscaly]

Maybe Walters felt threatened in San Fran not because he was in rough areas, but because he's from FOX NEWS. They are unwelcome ANYWHERE but in poockets of the South and Midwest.

[facemouth]

Shame on you O'Reilly! It is so disgusting to think so many people trust FOX news.

[zxygh]

In my City we have: rampant crime; crack dealers walk the streets with impunity; the public park is unsafe, people are assaulted all the time, despite the fact that the Police Station is two blocks away. Why doesn't Fox News do an expose on my town? Oh wait, I know the answer, it's because my town is run by Republicans.

[rasaxSF]

Hey O'Lielly: some decent herbage might help kill that bee in your bonnet, er, so I hear.

[freethinkerofthe415]

o'reily i think you should uhmm kill your self san francisco is my home and i walk the streets at night i admit there are some neighborhoods that you shouldnt be at like the point but other than that its a safe place unless your a complete idiot you will get what you had coming to you fox should put the bullet to their heads

[babiappl333]

this is bs, i've lived in the bay area all my life and have never felt like it was a dangerous place to live. When i visit new york in fact people there are far less friendly whereas in san fran every is open and kind.

[ThatOneDude]

I visit San Francisco pretty much once a week,

and it's a GREAT city. By FAR the best I've been to.

There are no problems,

and everyone is always friendly and helpful.

This is just showing the force of one-sided media.

[RascalXmas]

i dont see how the left has any thing to do with it. Bill should know better.

And plus, fisherman's wharf is nothing like that at night. Overall, stay out of the tenderloin.

[andretheking86]

fox seriously has no shame

i can go to the scummiest part of NYC where this clown is from and video tape the people there at 2 AM and say

"america look, new york is morally corrupt"

this is so much bullshit and i never even went to san fran, you can just tell by the video is done

[steveni812]

bill o'reilly can eat a bag of dicks...hella.

[cupajoe60]

FUCK Bill O'Reilly.

[kcwyckoff]

i love how he makes my city look like some sex/drug crazed trash heap. this is the biggest bullshit i've ever seen. i love my city and its the best in the world

[cupajoe60]

word.

[dreamteampwns]

HAHAHHAH KCYCKOFF!!!!

[mrpickles4pres]

I visited when I was 13, and I didn't see any of that.

[cherylxo]

O'Reilly just can't see it any other way than his. There's nothing wrong with left values. And even then you can assume everyone there is that way and he's deliberately trying to look for the BAD in that city. and he found tolerance and happiness. Epic loss for O'Reilly

[jhille85]

hahah what a hit piece.

[MsRex83]

Oh Bill. How I love your daily dose of ignorance. I live in San Francisco, specifically the Presidio, and am happy to report that on this federally owned land the raccoon population is the only thing you would ever fear walking around at night. Your report shows a skewed depiction found in any urban area in America. Why don't you visit Laurel Heights, Pacific Heights, Sea Cliff , and St. Francis Wood next time you're in town. Of course, if you don't feel like visiting, we won't be upset.

[rasaxSF]

Bill O'Lielly could smoke a big bud to kill that bug up his rectum.

[TSdlight]

BTW....he was in N. Beach & Market St. which are pretty much close 2 Tenderloin anymore. MY GOD i hope he didn't step in the vomit or feces while doing the interview. Market St is so gross anymore. Do you want a some filthy cup shoved in your face and harrassed for your 401k savings by the Crypt Keeper??? That happens ANYWHERE in SF mind you even INSIDE a Starbucks and it's tolerated.

[TSdlight]

I live in SF and it's a shithole. Loonies ( I mean people who literally belong in a Hospital running around scaring locals and tourists, with Tweekers/ Addicts & Boozers aka "Homeless" which is a nice word for them ....OMG need I say more??? This report was dead on. No Starbucks or Wallgreen's is safe. The whole city has become seedy in the past 12 years. Mayor Newsom please do something.

[Daveissa87]

Statistically, San Francisco has a far higher percentage of homeless people then LA or NYC. SF also has a higher percentage of bars, strip clubs, massage parlors, and pot clubs then LA or NYC.

And if you guys looked up the stats. SF also has a higher crime rate then LA or NYC. In fact, the crime rate in SF is over double that of NYC's and slightly higher then LA's.

[dmerschen]

These guys have no idea what they're talking about - I'd be more scared of living in whatever cess-pit these two sorry excuses for reporters spawned from...

[bananaluvs]

You can't be serious. I'm a Southern California transplant living in SF now and I can definitively state that I feel safer in San Francisco than I ever did living in Los Angeles - and I love both cities. Safer than New York? Really? Of course San Francisco suffers from many of the problems that befall any urban center. Homeless people exist, they are not brushed aside and hidden in San Francisco. San Franciscans regularly interact with their homeless neighbors; they don't consider them a threat.

[jwolf279]

wow. watters. come to sf. i dare you. all of these drug addicts and gay people would love to put a needle in your arm and fuck u up the ass. good stuff o'reilly.

[silvananoir]

Unbelievable, of course if you look out for the worst of a city then your going to find it. San Francisco is an amazing place. Of course O'Reilly wants to discredit the city in order to make nice with the more radical right that watches his show. And I would never walk in Central Park at night, never.

[workingclasssociety]

fuck fox, They went down to the tenderloin, what else you expect. Take it with a grain of salt. San Francisco is what it is. Do what you want and live your life, don't bother me and I won't bother you.

[missmixelpixel]

this is manipulative bullshit :)

[RapscallionRebellion]

That is the far right in a nutshell.

[uzwalker]

I love S.F. it's freedom over there guys. Polece ha, i don't feel em there. So every where should be like in S.F. long time ago police used to be help for people, you know. it's the great idea of police, don't touch you enjoy your freedom. they should protect your rest i mean. they are should be in ordinary guys side.

[RattleIceTea]

I paid $10.00 to take a picture of a pirate with a bird on his shoulder who had bird shatt all over his shoulder. What a mess, at fishermans wharf.....

[RattleIceTea]

Last time I was in San Francisco I saw two beautiful dikes kissing while going up an open stair case in a bank..... made me wanna puke and say hey bitches... look at me, I'm a guy and better lookin than that bitch!

[RapscallionRebellion]

Admit it, your knuckles drag on the ground when you walk, don't they?

[RattleIceTea]

RapscallionRebellion:

Yer from Canada, nuff said, San Francisco has turned into a sewer. :(

[cupajoe60]

Nah dude, I live there. It's not a sewer. It's actually an awesome city.

[halfsquirrel]

I'd rather cuddle up with a gnarly tranny street hooker than be with Bill O'Reilly.

[RattleIceTea]

Dirty Harry would have his 44 magnum at work 24/7 back in the day. From a facinating city to a sewer.....Only in America...Keep up the good job O'Reilly America needs people like you.

[lkmrn325]

Okay, it looks to me like you need some advice.

Here's something for you to try: it's called... THINKING FOR YOURSELF AND NOT ACCEPTING EVERY SINGLE BIT OF BIASED HALF-TRUE BS THE MEDIA FEEDS YOU.

Also, I just noticed a video in your favorites entitled "vagina exam", you hypocritical bastard.

[unplugd027]

O'Reilly needs to get his facts straight The Presidio that he said he would never go into at night is actually very safe place and is far from most of the homeless population in SF it is very beautiful the only thing you should look out for is the coyotes

[refused76]

San Francisco is a great city that I have visited often. Give me a Fox News camera and I'll go downtown (I live in a small, conservative indiana town) and I will show you what lurks underneath the gloss of "the real America".

[quasiplegic]

To JonNorCal: I've heard the same of Portland, and I live there. A professor at the 'most diverse university in OR' said it was one of the most racist places she's been. But similar in many other ways to SF. I guess it's like white chocolate SanFran-lite.

I'm inclined to call the Factor a comedy show, 'cept when I laugh at it, it feels like laughing at AIDS/Sudan/the Trail of Tears/etc. Ya'll get teh point.

[cobwebhead]

I had to look this up. It turns out, SF's crime rate is actually pretty good.

Out of America's 60 most populated cities,

SF's violent crime rate is 32nd (ahead of places like Tulsa, Toledo, and Tampa) and it's property crime rate is 30th (ahead of Nashville, Wichita, Albuquerque).

If you want to live dangerously, move to Charlotte or Milwaukee -- San Francisco is MUCH safer. And a great town too...

[LadyCitizen]

You have that right. But that's what makes this country great, plenty of areas to go where we each are comfortable. And Calif is unique, that's for sure. lol

[wing667]

gays are weirdos

[wing667]

fruits and homeless run that city.

[teron678]

Gonna move to CA ....

& F**K Faux News ...

Billo what's your beef with S.F .. do you want to move there?? .. if not .. STFU ... & remain in what you folks called "Real America"

[LadyCitizen]

City of decadence. Hasn't changed since the 60s. This life style would be accepted no where else in the country. Keep em there.

[cobwebhead]

It's true, SF people don't do well with the Crystal Meth addicts in "real America".

[LadyCitizen]

That must tell you something. One lone crazy state compared to the rest of real America. LMAO

[LadyCitizen]

Or should I say all '57 states' as our new president said. ;-)

[uzwalker]

San Francisco is the plac you feel freedom, i was over there, ti's really nice place and too much crime, it' a place whole US should be like. I LOVE S.F. = FREEDOM

[Neonbob]

I Love San Fran. Visit often. I'm a Floridian. Why don't they talk about Miami??? Its close..

[Salvatrucho213]

I agree I love San Francisco. I think Fox News exaggerated this story greatly

[IDFco12]

someone help them

[09AUTUMNUS22]

I wanna move there. I could toke without being bothered. The only bad part is the cost of living seems to be pretty high.

[47jsiu2mgv2axhmn6r5t]

Yeah but "tolerating" what? Anything can be "tolerated" it doesn't automatically qualify it as being "right" (Yes I know what's 'right' is debatable) and depends on who you ask. Me personally I'm all for personal freedom so long as it does not INFRINGE on OTHERS lives. Also I think alot of so called "openess" is just an excuse for dysfunctional behavior and people who don't/can't confront it because they are too PC.

[Salvatrucho213]

Heaven on earth? Come on they exaggerated this greatly

[Lungyao1]

What would they suggest? Locking up the homeless?

[hooah213]

San Francisco is a crap hole.

[edwardjames81]

OHH UUUU!! SAN FRANCISCO!! UUUU!!It'S SO BAD UUU!! lol.
