I know this will come as a shock to a lot of you. But the blowhard Bill O’Reilly can actually be an idiot when he longs for “strange new respect.” Such is the case with how he dealt with Pam Geller and the Garland, TX terrorist attack. Via the Daily Caller:
“The dead men deserved what they got,” O’Reilly said. “But the incident was ignited by a contest featuring cartoons of the prophet Mohammed. Any depiction of that Islamic icon is a sin in the Muslim world.”
“Many Americans believe the provocation was legitimate under freedom of speech, but that is not the issue,” the host contended. “No one I know favors curtailing speech in this case. The real issue is whether the exposition was the right thing to do.”
See the problem here? The incident was not “ignited by a contest” any more than the Benghazi attack was caused by a video. The contest was privately sponsored and by invitation only. The two yahoos who ended up on the morgue slab ignited the incident by driving over a thousand miles to attack people who made them mad. The only issue here is curtailing free speech because if, Heaven forfend, Bill O’Reilly gets in the business of deciding if something is the “right thing to do” then we are really screwed. In all seriousness, if the “right thing to do” standard was in force, does O’Reilly think he wouldn’t be forced off the air by the very people he’s fellating right now?

“Any depiction of that Islamic icon is a sin in the Muslim world.”
That Islamic icon Mohammed is considered to be Satan’s prophet, a man of sin, according to Bible believing Christians.
I guess Amerika is now part of the Muslim World, Mr. al-Reilly.
Should be in Ancient Chat....
He’s always been a phony. And I don’t believe for a minute that he is in any way a conservative. He’s making a living off of trumpeting conservative causes until he has to interview Obambi (was a one hour soft-ball game) and now this ridiculous stand against the free speach amendment.
I don’t trust him nor Dennis Miller . . . I can’t forget the bilge that Miller dumped on the Republican presidents when Miller was on SNL. Nor can I forgive him.
I think that O’Reilly and Miller are living off of two-faced credentials. I don’t watch O’Reilly nor do I listen to Miller.
I’ve always viewed him as a blowhard who sometimes has a good program,view or idea, but I never forget he’s a blowhard (and not a smart as he thinks) and I’d bet he’s a premadona to coworkers.
True words. And you are being kind.
The real issue is whether the civil rights march was the right thing to do.”
Hey Bill, millions of Muslims want you dead and there are millions more of them just won’t admit it right now.
Yep, they want to saw your head off because you exist. Get it?
Obama is a patriot for the Muslim Brotherhood. That makes him an American traitor.
I gave up on BOR years ago. He missed his calling as a game show host.
Switch it over to One America News Network and check out the Daily Ledger with Graham Ledger. It’s on in the same time slot as the factor. Ledger is 10 times more conservative than that phony liberal a-hole O’Reilly.
EXACTLY what I was going to post.
Was the Edmund Pettus bridge march in Selma a “provocation”?
Damn right it was, and it had the desired effect: an illegitimate overreaction.
". . . there has been no social justice or anything like it in any society or civilization before the advent of Islam."
"A human being cannot establish absolute justice because he is just a mere human . . . the divine social justice advocated by Islam is an integrated system for justice enjoined by the Creator of man and all other creatures . . . Justice is Allah’s attribute"
.. and the Twenty-first Amendment to the Constitution repealed the Eighteenth Amendment which had mandated nationwide Prohibition on alcohol;
no hard proof yet but that likely provoked devout Muslims and ignited the Wahhabi movement . . . .
BOR is a sheister who works both sides of the street to get the most money.
Why can’t Fox News Channel run news in the evening?
News.
I don’t want to watch a talk show, I want to watch what happened during the day.
Without leftist spin.
The only way, is to look at the internet now. Basically the only way is to look on Free Republic.
Few things are worse than a gibbering moron who thinks he's a genius.
Yeah, but there’s no doubt Kaczynski was really smart. Evil and crazy, but smart. He’d probably never have been caught without his brother recognizing it was him from his writing style.
“they want to saw your head off because you exist. Get it?”
Yeah, people need to get this. I dread to think what it’s going to take to get that concept through their thick little heads.
And it is very much not only BOR and the looney left who is not getting this.
I wonder if Bush gets it now, because he certainly didn’t get it back in the day.
Yes, Bill, it was the right thing to do.
It's called a protest. In this case, a protest against global mass murderers.
And if I had any say in the matter, I'd fire your @ss so fast you'd bounce off the door on your way out of the country.
I'd argue about that. I think that Bill O'Reilly is a narcissistic ******nozzle with delusions of godhood. (From that perspective, he is Obama's brother.) But he's pretty smart and hardly an idiot.
I remember only a bit about his period of self imposed “exile”...
BOR is a idiot, and in breaking news, the sun rose in the East today.

Least we forget, Bill O’Reilly is all about Bill O’Reilly. When oil prices (and gasoline prices) are high, according to O’Reilly it’s because of price-gouging by the major oil companies and has nothing to do with supply and demand. But, again according to O’Reilly, when gas prices are low it’s because of supply and demand. He’s 50% right you’re not a pin-head if you understand which 50% is right.
