I want to know what secret magic potion people are taking to find jobs, because my degree and years of editorial experience don't seem to mean shit to people.
Mike Hendricks wrote a mea culpa earlier this week apologizing for making fun of Overland Park, a suburbun-type-area outside Kansas City, three years ago. The man has no balls.
Well, it's not popular to admit, but I don't think O'Reilly is to blame for this. His coverage of Tiller was sort of dickish, as per usual, but calling the guy "Tiller the Baby Killer" doesn't mean he wanted him dead. He's just a TV blowhard, and TV blowhards like to trash people they disagree with.
If one of Olbermann's Worst Persons In the World were killed, would we be pointing the finger at him? Hell, if Bush had been assassinated, would we have accepted the blame that FOX would surely have heaped on the anti-Bush crowd? No, even though Bush caused the deaths of 10,000s of Iraqi civilians, and I have regularly applauded the speakers who have pointed this out.
Debates can get can heated. I don't think the participants should be blamed for those lunatics listening in the crowd who take the argument too far.
I don't understand why this blathering man is anti-abortion. He doesn't strike me as somebody who really gives a shit about abortion, women or the situation of poor children in America. If anything, this fucker should be promoting free abortions for poor women (especially blacks and Hispanics): that would be more consistent with this fucker's world view.
I cannot even bring myself to hit the play button because I have a profound hatred of this man anyway and I will hurl my laptop out the window if I watch this clip. Please let this be the beginning of the end of this hateful buffoon's career.
Calling Tiller a killer is cowardly, for if he called him a murderer, like you know he wants to, O'Reilly would surely go to the poorhouse for libel and defamation.
Do O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Palin, et al know that a lot of aborted fetuses would've grown up to be black people and Latinos? That might cause them to rethink their positions.
@wholenuther: Srsly, just tell all the wingnuts that 99% of abortions are Negresses and Mexicans and we've got ourself eternal legal abortion! Hell, they'll probably fundraise to build a clinic next to every KFC & Popeye's in the nation.
@foodandshoes: Yes, satire. Due to the latest KFC/Popeye chicken debacles, Rethugs like Bill O' Reilly would of course think they are the Minority Meccas of the universe.
@wholenuther: Hahah OMG LOL. Yeah if they hated black people so much maybe they should give them free abortions, not oppose abortion like so many do. Obviously white people hate black people, that's why so many of them use the racism inherrent in abortion statistics to denounce it. Oh look, as evidence I submit and article written by a White pastor from North Carolina doing just that. You people need to get out more.
"... fetuses who will never become American citizens." Now that's something we could march to. 'Cause American fetuses are obviously worth more than those other, unamerican, fetuses. Right, Bill?
@pilf: Actually, the label relates back to the historical fact that abortion was illegal in the Roman era because it was killing a Roman citizen protected by Roman law. They had the technology back then, but it was illegal. And now you know.
To clarify, abortion wasn't illegal in the Roman empire. It was illegal for a woman to have an abortion without her husband's permission. Your husband owned your body and the fetus, so whatever he said was ok. They also had infanticide (by leaving babies out in the woods), again, as long as the pater familias was down with it. They were just a little more honest about the abortion debate coming down to ownership over women's bodies.
For the record, this is the first time the class I took in law school, Roman Law: abortion, homosexuality and the death penalty, has come in handy. Now I'm so glad I never took bankruptcy law.
Interestingly, the positions BO ascribes to "the far left loons" of America can safely be attributed to between 65 and 70% of the population. So he might want to rethink his terms.
These dickwads unleash the hounds of hell and then profess innocence, blaming the victim. Maybe secession is the best solution-they can have the middle, the rational folks get each coast.
@Lord Humongous: Fuck you. As a midwesterner who now lives on the Left Coast, I am sick of this attitude about the so-called "fly over states." There are a lot of progressives in the "middle" just as there are a lot of dickwads on the coasts. Where do you think the headquarters of FAUX News are? Not Kansas City or Chicago.
Oh, yeah, and Iowa vs California. Now which one is progressive?
@foodandshoes: Totally agree! Wouldn't it make sense to have a late term abortion clinic in California or New York, where there are not any clinic bombings? Yes, but no one in those states has the courage to do what Dr. Tiller did. He was a good, law abiding, midwestern Christian. Let's not forget that.

He actually might have killed a jihadist fetus! What do you think of that, Bill?
