Bill O'Reilly, host of the O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel, tonight called for the courts to act to shut down the suspended (as of this writing) Koran burning protest by the Gainesville, Florida based Dove World Outreach Center.
O'Reilly made his remarks in a segment with lawyers Lis Wiehl and Kimberly Guilfoyle.
O'Reiily said, "I believe, Guilfoyle, a case can be made here, it was the Supreme Court rul(ing) you can't have a public display that intimidates if the intention of it is to harm. And certainly burning the holy book of more than three million Americans, Muslim Americans, is meant to harm them emotionally and intimidate."
Then to Wiehl, O'Reilly said, "I think on legal grounds Wiehl, correct me if I'm wrong, there is a good case to say, 'you cannot do this because the sole purpose of this is to intimidate people and inflict emotional damage.'"
Wiehl noted the Supreme Court has ruled burning the American flag is legal as a possible reason for noone going to court yet to stop the Koran burning.
O'Reilly replied, "That's true, but I think it should be adjudicated, and they can slap an injunction on the guy and say he can't do it."
“correct me if I’m wrong.”
OK, Bill. You’re wrong.
Like that's gonna happen.
BOR is a fascist...
I don't like the idea of this guy burning any books but Damn it the First Amendment is clear.
Ted Baxter proves, again, that he is an idiot.
Did he say a peep about this guy burning bibles?

Where was the court order to stop the NEA from supporting a crucifix being dunked in urine and called ‘art’?
By the way, I don’t support either action, and the crucifix ‘art’ is free speech if it’s private ... but I don’t want to pay for it.
Just saying ... where was the public outcry against the crucifix/urine ‘art’ display?
BOR is a spinning pinhead just out to get the first interview with the first caliph of the US.
Unless it's done in San Francisco and involves Christ.

LOL! Another stooge over at Fox owned 7% or more by the King of Saudi Arabia’s nephew aka the King’s proxy. Nice.
The other sh*t networks have similiar Saudi/UAE deals.
Since the very beginning of this episode, I thought Obama would probably take advantage of it to try to suppress our freedom of speech. I don’t like Bill O’Reilly (can’t stand him, in fact) but even so, I’m surprised that he’s the first one to come out with the suggestion to actually do this. I bet he’ll be the first of many, and by the end of the day we’ll be signing on to the UN’s “don’t criticize Islam” resolution.
Yawn...another northeast liberal looking out for the (moderate/left of center) folks...
OMG! Are there any sane people left or has the left warped us entirely?
While this burning the Qur’an seems designed to intimidate, what is amazing is that Hollywood seems to almost considerate it obligatory to profane the name of Jesus on a regular basis, and the American military burned Bibles in the interest of building a Muslim state in which conversion to Christianity is disallowed, yet the MSM shows little care for these things.
Ted Baxter speaks!
I suppose you could...but really...who's gonna care?
The proposed koran burning is having the beneficial unintended consequence of showing some peoples’ true colors... like BOR.
