September 14, 2006 - O'Reilly does for Christianity what he did for phone sex... ruins it for everyone
Last night, O'Reilly was leading the
crusade against any anti-Christian
bastard who crossed his path. Early
in the program he warned us of the
coming battle:
"Unbelievable assault on Christianity
at the University of Virginia. This one
is off the charts. Wait till you hear it."
Quite a statement. Are Christians
being kicked out of the school? Bibles
being burned? Crosses banned? Are
Christian students being collared and
stacked naked while Wiccans point
and laugh at them?
No, this one is really "off the charts." When the segment started, O'Reilly explained how a student
paper called The Cavalier Daily had run a cartoon that "depicts Mary as having a social disease."
O'Reilly used his better judgment and chose not to run the horribly inflammatory cartoon.
Prepare to lose your lunch:


We know, we know. It's just sickening. Off the charts! We wanted to make a chart to show you how
far off it was, but your screen isn't large enough. IT'S OFF THE CHARTS!
O'Reilly noted that the paper is not supported financially by the college, "but it does take up space
on campus."
He told his viewers that they should write and call John Casteen's office at the college and that,
"the alumni of the University of Virginia should not give any money to the school until this paper
is forced off campus."
Just to piss off O'Reilly, we’re considering placing ads for our Sweet Jesus, I Hate Bill O'Reilly
book in the paper. If you'd like to donate to the effort, you can do so here.
Oh, but that's not all kids. His holiness teased the next segment thusly:
"Comin' right back with an anti-Christian comment from Rosie O'Donnell."
When Bill returned from the break he showed us all a September 12 clip from The View where
O'Donnell made this statement:
"We were attacked, not by a nation, and as a result of the attack and the killing of nearly 3,000
innocent people we invaded two countries and killed innocent people in their countries."
When co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck interjected that the same religious beliefs of radical Islam
that spurred those attacks are widespread, O'Donnell added:
"Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam, in a country like America."
The audience applauded the comment.
O'Reilly positioned this as Rosie going after conservative Christians because of their views on
homosexuality. Of course, Bill has a hard time believing that anyone can look at an issue beyond
how it affects her personally. He also failed to see what O'Donnell and many others are pointing
out—that when the radical Christian movement places God squarely on our side, reason can go
out the window.
O'Reilly fails to acknowledge that radical Christian Jerry Falwell believed God allowed 9/11 to
occur because of the moral decay of our country, citing gays, the ACLU, abortionists, and feminists
as facilitators of that disaster. Maybe O'Donnell believes when we start spreading hate speech
such as this, it leads to violence and hatred amongst our own people and abroad.
Rather than inviting a guest to discuss these points, O'Reilly brought on the always insipid
"Democratic strategist" Laura Schwartz to say that Rosie "crossed the line."
Schwartz added that, "all those people may be on the fence, or those independents watching
The View, they hear something like that, they think, well if that represents the Democratic
Party, I may not vote with the Democrats this fall."
We had no idea that Rosie O'Donnell might lose the midterm elections for the Democrats. We
actually thought she sounded like a pretty typical Christian: Praising peace. Defending innocent
men, women and children. Fighting for true Christian principles, not fundamentalism fueled by
greed, hatred and everything that Christ preached against.
Maybe we should defer to O'Reilly on this one. He is an exemplary Christian. Well, except for the
whole thing about sexually harassing an employee while his wife was at home pregnant with his
child. Other than that, he's a regular Thomas Aquinas
