Bill O'Reilly Calls for Courts to Stop Koran Burning Protest

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."

So much for that pesky First Amendment.

Oh great. Now I'm going to have to burn a copy of O'Reilly's book too.

Good thing I get a member's discount at B&N.

The guy is a major pinhead.

What a frickin’ fascist.

O.K., I am normally ready to defend Bill--- but not on this occasion.

If you can burn a flag, you can burn the Koran. If a outraged veteran beats the sh*t out of a hippie burning our nation's flag-- he goes to jail for assault. If a Muslim kills someone for burning the Koran-- his ass should go to the electric chair.

Bilge Oh-really ... wrong again.

O’Reilly proves once again he’s a fascist at heart.

"How about this, instead of their building a mosque next to Ground Zero, we build a Ground Zero next to the Grand Mosque in Mecca?"

Love ya, Bill ... but ... huh ?!? That's just dopey.

BOR is so impressed with himself. I’m sure he believes, no less than the ruling elites, that he knows what’s best for everybody else.

F-—ing thing sucks!

[Cheetahcat]

Hey BOR Go to Hell.

O’Reilly, what about burning the Bible and the flag? What about the Firsst Amendment?

O’Reilly has always disguised his poor reasoning ability with a glib tongue.
