Available now at Amazon.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right. Bill O&#8217;Reilly is mad and his anger cannot be assuaged. Whether it&#8217;s immigration, or the arrest of Americans who broke Mexican laws, or heartburn that flared up suspiciously after consuming a Fiery Doritos Taco Supreme, O&#8217;Reilly is inconsolable. His fury has been unbound and woe be unto his foes.<\/p>\n<p>Last night on the O&#8217;Reilly Factor, the irascible host had had enough and announced that he was not going to go to Mexico. He called on every American to join his boycott of the nation that he said is <em>&#8220;not our friend&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It is time for all of us to stop going there. That country is not our friend. It knows and helps the millions of people that are crossing its territory to enter the USA illegally. Mexico is allowing that to happen. Why? Because they don&#8217;t really like us and they are corrupt. They get money to allow the human trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Add to that the Marine, Sergeant Tahmooressi who has post-traumatic stress disorder incarcerated down there. And you have Mexican President Nieto giving us the middle finger. Well you know what Mr. Nieto? You know what? I&#8217;m not going to your country. And I&#8217;m asking every American to boycott you because you, and your government, is harming the USA.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And this is no idle threat. O&#8217;Reilly is dead serious. Just as he was when he initiated Mexican boycotts on three previous occasions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>May 17, 2006:<\/strong> I will call for a total boycott of Mexican goods and no travel to your country.<\/li>\n<li><strong>December 19, 2012:<\/strong> I&#8217;m calling for a national boycott of Mexico. No one goes and the airlines stop flying there.<\/li>\n<li><strong>May 29, 2013:<\/strong> I think this is the end of Mexican tourism. [&#8230;] Well, guess who&#8217;s gonna lead that boycott?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As the world has seen, those previous economic actions devastated Mexico. Mexican tourism has ended. Unless you count the over 20 million Americans who traveled to Mexico last year making it the <a href=\"http:\/\/travel.trade.gov\/view\/m-2013-O-001\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">most popular destination<\/a> for American tourists.<\/p>\n<p>Further evidence of O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s influence on international travel is evident in his boycott of France in 2003 because they refused to support George W. Bush&#8217;s invasion of Iraq. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediamatters.org\/research\/2007\/05\/09\/bill-oreilly-declares-end-to-his-france-boycott\/138823\" target=\"_blank\">Media Matters compiled<\/a> the damage done by the boycott, including O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s claim of declining revenue (which was false) as reported by the Paris Business Review (which doesn&#8217;t exist).<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, O&#8217;Reilly is adamant that the Mexicans deserve to be punished for the unsatisfactory quality of their friendship. This despite the fact that he never offered proof that Mexico doesn&#8217;t like us, or that they help millions to cross the border illegally for profit. They have earned his wrath and they shall suffer it. He so upset that he is pushing this boycott even though he regards boycotts as un-American. This is what he said about a boycott aimed at Rush Limbaugh after he insulted then law student Sandra Fluke by calling her a prostitute:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The entire boycott movement is garbage. The far left threatening sponsors who advertise on programs they don\u2019t like is flat-out un-American. [&#8230;] The boycott movement from the left right now is driven by threats.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So good luck, Mexico. You are in for some trying times as O&#8217;Reilly and his minions revamp their travel itineraries to avoid the southern border. I&#8217;m sure you are crushed by his criticisms and even more anguished by his personal promise to stay away. There will be no book signings, or paparazzi brigades, or arrogant lectures on the immorality of Spring Break. From now on, Mexico, you are on your own. You will have to find some way to endure without Bill O&#8217;Reilly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The people of Mexico must have woken up this morning shuddering in abject fear.
