Jesus Ain’t ‘Down’ With Feeding Lazy, Drug-Addicted Poor, Claims Fox News Host (VIDEO)

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/12/04/bill-oreilly-jesus-food-stamps/

Here’s the thing that really bugs me about conservatives. They can’t stop being mean, even during the winter holiday season. Despite all their whining about “the war on Christmas,” these right-wingers are the Grinch-iest folks ever. Take Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, for instance. He really has it in for people who receive food stamps. In Oct. 2012, Bill O’Reilly claimed that Obama wanted food stamps for “illegal aliens.” In March, 2013, he raged against “food stamp fraud” that doesn’t exist. In Aug., 2012, he called them “parasites.”

Bill O’Reilly insists that Jesus Christ wouldn’t feed hungry people and their children, because it’s their fault for being poor.

Now, in Bill O’Reilly’s latest rant, he claims that Jesus Christ wouldn’t be “down with” having a “nanny state” that feeds the hungry via food stamps. If our fellow Americans are too poor to feed themselves and their children, it’s “their fault” for being a bunch of lazy, drunk, drug addicts. Never mind that two thirds of people on food stamps are senior citizens and children who are too old or young to work; that nearly 60% of working age adults on food stamps have jobs; and that 87% were employed within the past 12 months [SOURCE: The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities]. Never mind that O’Reilly’s fellow right-wingers in Congress refuse to raise the minimum wage so the working poor can make a decent living.

Watch Bill O’Reilly trash Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA) and Pope Francis.
