O'Reilly's Final Solution
. . .

The Fox news host has a history of making racist remarks and advocating the mass murder of civilians. When four armed US mercenaries were killed in Fallujah, O’Reilly commented: “Problems continue for the U.S. Military in Fallujah. Why doesn't the U.S. Military just go ahead and level it?” He made it clear he doesn’t “care about the people of Fallujah” and that “we know what the final solution should be.” Apparently, the mass slaughter of hundreds of civilians in Fallujah by the US military just didn’t do it for O’Reilly.

O’Reilly’s bloodlust also extended to Afghanistan. A few days after 9/11 he declared “the U.S. should bomb the Afghan infrastructure to rubble—the airport, the power plants, their water facilities, and the roads” if the Afghan government did not extradite Osama bin Laden. O’Reilly continued: “This is a very primitive country. And taking out their ability to exist day to day will not be hard. Remember, the people of any country are ultimately responsible for the government they have. The Germans were responsible for Hitler. The Afghans are responsible for the Taliban. We should not target civilians. But if they don't rise up against this criminal government, they starve, period."

The Geneva Convention states that destroying infrastructure essential to the survival of civilian populations is a war crime and the “starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is prohibited.” Besides being an obvious racist, O’Reilly is an advocate of targeting and killing civilians (non-white folks, of course) that clearly constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity.

5. Is it fair to compare it this way?
What if I were a talk show host that advocated sex with 13 year old girls? Would I be stopped? Having sex with 13 year old girls is a felony. O'reilly advocates killing innocents almost daily. Killing is a felony. O'reilly should be censured. The Geneva Convention is a global law.

8. It's O'Reilly
I mean, what did we expect?

You know, there are very few public figures that I throw the term "Nazi" at, because I think it's both overloaded through context as well as watered down through overuse. But if he's going to go on the air and use phrases like "final solution" then, well, fuck it. Bill O'Reilly is a Nazi!
