O'Reilly, Robertson Threaten Strikes on San Francisco and Dover, PA
Call For Deaths of Non-Believers
In two similar but apparently unrelated incidents, two wingnuts have called for the deaths of hundreds of thousands that disagree with them. On November 8th, Bill O'Reilly, criticizing the passage of a ballot measure by San Francisco voters that encourages schools and colleges to prohibit on-campus military recruiting, said: "And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead."
Then today, fellow wingnut Pat Robertson threatened the residents of Dover, Pennsylvania, who just showed the door to six pro-intelligent-design school board members: “I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover. If there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city. 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. And if that’s the case, don’t ask for His help because he might not be there.” [video here]
Hugo Chavez had better hope these two don't combine forces. Majikthise's opinion is here. Shakespeare's Sister discusses O'Reilly here, and Dodecahedron muses on Robertson's "giant army of catatonic dunderheads" here.

It should also be noted that, in addition to inciting violence against San Francisco and Dover, O'Reilly (at least) is also calling for blatent discrimination based on political views in the allocation of Federal funds. Not that this does not already happen. The Feds have been making war on Babylon by the Bay for years. Here's just one example.

I'd just like to say to Pat Robertson that if viewership of "The 700 Club" drops because of his stupidity, please don't turn to God and ask him why, because I don't think God cares at this point.

Is it possible that Bill is so angry because God saw fit to put all those splotches on his face?

umm w/r/t pat.. aren't natural disasters also referred to as "Acts of God?"
folks that ask for god to help them after they are attacked by him need to seek counseling for their abusive relationship.

Blue Gal is praying for these guys. They have sold their souls to that devil in the microphone.

el s,
this simply proves that religious people are deranged masochists.

Holy Shit Batman! Do they let loonies like these two out unattended over there? In civilized countries they have well padded rooms and soothing medicines for these kind.

All they are doing is trying to scare the crap out of people...like they did in 2001, remember the Anthrax scare.
So I have a question...Are the new School Board Members now responsible for keeping God away from Dover?
LMAO!!

What's up with that Gorbachav spot on O'Reilley's head?
Posted by: Gotham Image | November 10, 2005 at 03:01 PM
Two things:
1. Interesting that O'Reilly chooses the biggest phallic symbol in the city to blow up. Repressed much?
2. Pat Robertson, man. Dude seriously needs to just retire already.

People like Bill and Pat use God as a club to beat other people over the head. I don't think God likes that. Maybe Bill and Pat should be on the lookout for lightning bolts.

Happy B'day!
That Crazy Pat! Even the Freepers are tossing him overboard at this point.

Happy birthday.
Starting with Schiavo and continuing today, we're getting closer to Salem, Mass. in 1692 everyday. Actually, the Puratans had two excuses we don't have:1. Modern telecommunications. 2. 300 years of real science.
Of course, the misuse of those two advanteges of ours is what we're talking about here!

Oh dear! O'Reilly wants the city of San Franscico punished for stuff. Robertson wants the City of Dover punished for other stuff. What would Jesus do? Hmmmm "Love your enemies.." for starts. They need to read the Gospels again.

Happy birthday, and may all things glad and good come your way in the coming year.
Posted by: larkohio | November 11, 2005 at 09:11 AM
I'm right in the middle of a move right now so I'm too exhausted to say anything about these two but...jesus fucking christ, already. They are an embarrassment to the human race.
Anyway, happy birthday Blogenfreude! Have a couple on me!
