O'Reilly and Robertson: Agree with us or die

First, I think there is a typo in the title. It should read: Agree with us and die.

Besides, who listens to what these two baffoons say?

wrist-slap, then defend

The folks on the Right have slapped Pat Robertson on the wrist, just to make a good show of it, but press them and they'll rush to defend him.

twisted minds

O'Reilly and Robertson certainly have warped opinions on just about everything!

Let them send their sons and daughters to Iraq!

Leave our kids alone!

Bill O'Reilly and Military Recruiting

Bill O'Reilly is angry about the unpopularity of military recruiting in San Francisco. This begs the question, why didn't Bill serve in the military when he was a strapping young man from Long Island instead of spending his prime draft years in England?

Ol' Bill also recently claimed he has a nephew who has joined the military. Has anybody seen this nephew of his? What service did he join? Where is he taking training? Does he, in fact, exist?

O'Reilly and Robertson: Agree with us or die

Pursuing O'Reilly's theoretical line of reasoning, if the FedGov were to say: okay SF,

no recruitment? No protection!---then SF would be

equally entitled to say: okay FedGov, no protection? No tax payments from us to you. Theoretical consistency all around.

And considering the small but real possibility

of Rwanda-style fascist Republican pogroms against

liberals, maybe liberals should rethink their

opposition to gun rights and gun ownership? As

that old detective (played by Sean Connery) said

to the Elliot Ness character: "You don't bring

a peace sign to a gun fight", or words to that

effect.

Funniest thing I've read today.

"And don't wonder why he hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city."

Ahahahahhahahaha.... haha.. ha!

It Could Happen Here

When voices such as Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Pat Robertson, Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh become the prevailing soundtrack for a political faction, we are one very dangerous step closer to Facism in America. These are not voices of reason, compassion and compromise. These are voices of hate, rage, intolerance and war. How far they will go to silence the voices of those who have opposing views is simply chilling. The greatest danger is to doubt for a second that they are not capable of great evil.

O'Reilly and Robertson

The fact that O'Reilly rejects freedom of speech and Robertson rejects separation of church and state coupled with the fact that they are backed by our government at the present shows how pitiful this country is at this time. But we liberals should be standing up and shouting from the rooftops: STOP THE LUNATICS OF THIS COUNTRY LIKE O'REILLY AND ROBERTSON FROM GETTING ON TV AND SPEAKING SUCH TRASH, Unfortunately, most people in this country get everything they know from TV, and the right wing shouts everyone down

O'Reilly is Right!

I think Billy O has it right --let's let each state control it's own federal funds. Since we know Bill is against "hand-outs" I'm sure he'll agree that cutting California off from the federal teat means they don't have to pay in, either.

In fact, I have long advocated a constitutional amendment against all such handouts. The constitution should provide that no state may receive more in federal services, funds, etc., than it pays in in taxes.

End State Welfare Now! Free California!

O"Relly and Robertson

For a so-called Conserevative, the trog. O'Reilly perhaps doesn't understand (that would be asking too much) there there is no such thing as "Federal money." There is only "money", some of which is sent on to to governments in the form of "taxes." I suppose the "O" person has never heard of that. I do believe at last glance that some of the money "O" would deny SF came from there in the first place.

Hey, maybe "O" has something after all. California sends more bucks to the Feds than many of the Red States combined. Let's vote in the Senate by the amount of tax dollars the States send DC.

As for Robinson, one can only suffer his dementia.

What would Pat say about Kansas...

when the next tornado rips through that Creationism teaching state. Wouldn't the logic be that God is punishing them because they don't support the teaching of evolution????

O'Reilly and Robertson

Cretins with microphones.

That is even scarier than George W. Bush and Scott McClellan.

Does anyone know where this insane idea originated that if there's a natural disaster it must be because of an angry deity?

No, because it happened before there was a written language to keep track of it. Religion was invented to explain the angry thundering monster in the sky, and some people's beliefs aren't much refined from those of early man.

I'm sure the people who came up with the idea we convinced they weren't related to the apes and neanderthals, though, because the angry thunder monster clearly designed them both separately.

What If...

"And don't wonder why he hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city."

Well, Pat, problems could begin, if they begin, in any city or state. Hurricanes could happen in Florida! Tornadoes could happen in the Midwest! Earthquakes could happen in California! I'm not saying they will, but if they do, we should remember (Robertson fills in the rest of the sentence).

Does anyone know where this insane idea originated that if there's a natural disaster it must be because of an angry deity?

Thanks, Bill!

Following Scott Martin's point, as a resident of the Bay Area, I'd just like to thank Bill O'Reilly for pointing out to Al Qaeda that the "mainstream" United States doesn't give a crap about what happens here. What better way to protect a city from people who calculate their attacks to have maximum emotional and political impact?
