“Blowing from a Gun” is a method of execution in which the victim is typically tied to the mouth of a cannon and the cannon is fired. George Carter Stent describes the process as follows:
The victim is generally tied to a gun with the upper part of the small of his back resting against the muzzle. When the gun is fired, his head is seen to go straight up into the air some forty or fifty feet; the arms fly off right and left, high up in the air, and fall at, perhaps, a hundred yards distance; the legs drop to the ground beneath the muzzle of the gun; and the body is literally blown away altogether, not a vestige being seen.
Blowing from a gun was a reported means of execution as long ago as the 16th century, by the Mughal Empire, and was used until the 20th century.--
O’Reilly pretty much executed himself without help from anyone. What a tool.
http://aattp.org/politifact-study-fox-news-lies-more-than-any-other-news-network/Talked to someone who toured O’Reilly’s studio. Noted that it was arranged so that O’Reilly, who is a big, tall guy, sits on a platform while his victim, sorry, I mean, “guest” sits beneath him, at a lower level. What is it in the make-up of some people that leads them to like and admire a puffed-up, self-righteousness-exuding bully like O’Reilly or Limbaugh? Such people are obnoxious and offensive even when you AGREE with them. And I’ve met people like that who I did agree with; … but then I can’t imagine a left-leaning bully-boy becoming a media superstar the way O’Reilly, Limbaugh, etc., have.
“… the “right” NEVER holds theirs to the same high standard as they hold “libruls” to. Good thing, cuz if they did they’d have nobody.”.Wasn’t the left defending Brian Williams? Isn’t Hillary “sniper dodger” Clinton stil the front runner?
Let him without sin throw the first stone. What BO doesn’t realize was he threw many stones at Brian Williams. Couldn’t wait to pile on. So I wish Fox (FAUX NEWS—hilarious) would give us all a rest from Blowhard Bill.

Al Franken noticed (and pointed out) numerous O’Reilly lies YEARS ago. Too bad he went into the Senate, but he DOES class up the place.

Bill O’ Reilly is simply a chickenhawk the legs of a sandhill crane, and the mouth of a poorly trained mynah.
“Blowing from a gun” btw is pretty much what actually happens to a person hit by a .50 caliber sniper rifle bullet.
