Dawkins on O'Reilly. How stupid can one man be?

[edhopper]

It's like watching someone explain calculus to a dog.

1. disappointing

I was really looking forward to seeing Dawkins tear Bill apart but it was pretty tame.

There's a really funny video of Dawkins and Ted Haggard floating around.
I'll see If I can find it.

2. O'Reilly is smart enough not to let Dawkins talk.

I agree with the previous poster that it's disappointing. Mostly because O'Reilly keeps interrupting with his idiocy.

3. Yeah

that's pretty much SOP for Bill-O. What I thought was funny was that you could see he had no understanding of what Dawkins was saying. His first statements about the tides and nature were just childish. And when Dawkins said that, in fact, we have a good understanding of those events, Bighead said "sure we understand the physiology". Not even close to the right word Bill. I had the feeling Dawkins was thinking "will talking to this idiot really sell any books?"

4. Reminds me of what my Mom used to say:

Bill O'Reilly must be twins. Why? Because no one person could be that stupid!

5. For real fun, watch the video of Richard Dawkins interviewing Ted Haggard...

6. Physiology????

How does this fucking moron still have a show?

7. Because the many stupid people in this country recognize him as one of their own

Just like Studs Terkel's explanation of how Ronald Reagan got elected twice: "He made it okay to be stupid."

8. And as soon as some demagogue flathead

says Elitist, Latte Fancypants, Better-Than-Thou, everyone runs for cover... no, no, no, NOT US.

30 years of Movement Conservatism humbling the country into ruin, and ostentatious humility still has a field advantage over discernable competence. We just can't get enough of the Big Stupid.

9. Oddly enough, I have never seen Captain Phonesex disagree more civilly.

Did O'Reilly call in a "Body Language Expert" to savage Dawkins behind his back?

10. Well

now that you asked, it's very simple: it's called genetics and environment, the absence of a good one in either can produce idiots. Just look at the white house occupants.
