Semi-politics

[tahnan]

First, your daily reminder that Bill O'Reilly is batshit insane: when a guest remarks that Nancy Pelosi had apparently practiced her speech, he says, "You know who used to do that, who practiced for hours before making a speech?"

Second, and more importantly, someone's further thoughts on the Dayton mosque attack. Especially interesting, I think, is the statement that "I think common cause with the Jewish community is essential in this regard". In my naiveté, I've never really understood why there isn't more solidarity between minority groups; its flip side, the "we're more oppressed and persecuted than you are", seems so divisive.

I think I may write to the ADL. I'm not necessarily optimistic, but I feel like I ought to try.

OMG. Not making a comparison or anything, just thought he'd mention it. (Also, isn't it a GOOD idea to practice a speech?)

Regarding lack of minority solidarity in the US: I blame the same weasels that convinced working people of the inherent evil of socialism.

Ah, O'Reilly. It's not a comparison ... it's just a fun fact!

You know who else used to make recorded speeches in which he slandered people he didn't like?

Also, I notice that O'Reilly has a mouth - you know who else used to have a mouth?

And I understand that O'Reilly eats food- you know who else used to eat food?

This is fun! I could do it all day!

Godwin, it's not just a good idea....

Heehee. I knew it was going to be Hitler before I even clicked the link! It's like I have a sixth Godwin sense!
