For all of you that still find O'Reilly's comment funny, think about the
consequences if it had been a non-RW who had made such comments, think about all the people that have been arrested or attacked for much less protest...

It is not funny. If it had been say Cindy or any other serious anti * person, they would probably be in jail by now. Think about the lawyer arrested in OR or the CO people that go thrown out of the speech, and all those innocent dateinnes. By not taking this statement seriously, particularly when reaching out to millions, we are dishonoring all those that have been targeted for much less...

It is rather insulting that this statement is being excused by "O'Reilly is just looking for attention" because it plays into the RW getting away with everything, including encouraging terrorist attacks...

1. O'Reilly is an SOB to say the least.
..and yes, if anyone who is NOT a right winger says something controverisal, we would never hear the end of it, i.e the Dixie Chicks.

It is rather insulting that this statement is being excused by "O'Reilly is just looking for attention" because it plays into the RW getting away with everything, including encouraging terrorist attacks.

5. if you are asking about O'Reilly's comments (what they are)
there are tons of thread in the site about them.

If you are telling I don't know what I am talking about, I don't get your comment.

If you mean O'Reilly doesn't know what he is talking about, you are right, but that doesn't excuse him.

If you mean that does who find it funny don't know what they are talking about, I'm not sure, but I know that finding his comments funny perpetuates a one-sided definition of what is acceptable and what isn't when it comes up to standing to this admin...

3. I believe oreilly is looking for attention
by doing something incredibly reprehensible, wrong, and anti-american. The conservative playbook would result in an intensive piling on of anybody on the left who did something similar. His actions should be widely discussed and publicized (regardless of method) in every concievable medium. The days when the "RW getting away with everything" are coming to an end as long as their actions are front and center.

4. This monster should never again be permitted to set foot on a commercial
airliner.

How do we make it so?

6. Someone actually thought his statement was funny?
:wtf:

Sounds more like someone's response on freerepublic.

At the minimum, the asshat should be fired!
