Has Bill O'Reilly Lost It?

On the March 2, 2006 broadcast of Bill O'Reilly's Radio Factor show, he recently disconnected a caller for merely uttering MSNBC's Countdown host Keith Olbermann's name. Nothing else was said, and nothing was obscene. What followed was an absolutely ludicrous threat from Billy:
O'REILLY: Orlando, Florida. Mike, go.
CALLER: Hey, Bill, I appreciate your taking my call.
O'REILLY: Sure.
CALLER: I like to listen to you during the day. I think Keith Olbermann's show --
O'REILLY: There you go, Mike is -- he's a gone guy. You know, we have his -- we have your phone numbers, by the way, so if you're listening, Mike, we have your phone number. And we're going to turn it over to Fox security, and you'll be getting a little visit.
E.D. HILL (co-host): Maybe Mike is from the mothership.
O'REILLY: No, maybe Mike's going to get in big trouble, because we're not gonna play around. When you call us, ladies and gentlemen, just so you know, we do have your phone number. And if you say anything untoward, obscene, or anything like that, Fox security then will contact your local authorities, and you will be held accountable. Fair?
HILL: That's fair.
O'REILLY: So just -- all you guys who do this kind of a thing, you know, I know some shock jocks, whatever -- you will be held accountable. Believe it. We'll be right back.
What then followed has the makings of a coverup. Audio files of the Radio Factor show in question have been edited to remove any evidence of the call-in ever happening. The original, unedited radio clip is no longer available on O'Reilly's website.

We all know O'Reilly's sanity has long been questionable, but has he finally fallen off his rocker completely?
