Bill O'Reilly jumps the shark, then swallows it: Gay marriage will lead to unrestricted abortion?
:freak:



from ThinkProgress:



O’Reilly: Gay marriage will lead to ‘legalizing narcotics, unrestricted abortion, revocation of the Patriot Act.’»

Yesterday on The O’Reilly Factor, Bill O’Reilly did a segment on the consternation in California over the Prop. 8 same-sex marriage ban. O’Reilly said Barack Obama’s election has “emboldened secular progressives” on issues like gay marriage. The “cultural war issues,” he said, will only get worse:

O’REILLY: So you can see the debate over gay marriage is now a full fledge national battle. As talking points said last night the election of Barack Obama has emboldened secular progressives who feel it is their time. Gay marriage just the beginning. Other cultural war issues will also be in display very shortly. These include limiting gun possession, legalizing narcotics, unrestricted abortion and the revocation of the Patriot Act.

3. You have to have been cool at some point to "jump the shark"..
The Fonz was cool, then he jumped the shark and became uncool..

O'Loofah was never cool to start with.

He might as well - I don't think anyone else will touch him.

12. Has there been some genetic change?
I don't see how there could be a link between gay marriage and unrestricted abortion.

But I do like the idea of the revocation of the Patriot Act, could that be expanded to revoking the No Child Left Behind act too?

My gay friends & me like to smoke some pot before we load up our rifles and then smoke some Neocon ass.

We’re Patriots, after all.

Billo’s head would crater, leaving the lower half of his head going since it would take 5 minutes for the damage to register with his mouth.

20. Didja pick the wrong fight, Billo?
It all seemed so easy when these odious little measures were getting written up and introduced. The first few states passed them overwhelmingly as people gleefully voted to deny the humanity of some of their fellow citizens. Kept collecting their taxes, though. Funny that.

But then something kind of unexpected happened. People began focusing on the issue, and began talking about it. Some people changed their mind. Other people decided that the benefits of society should be available to all their fellow citizens. The margin of victory for these little acts of bigotry began shrinking. California passed Prop 8 by only 3%, mostly driven by older voters, who will no longer be participating in the electoral system in another 10 or 15 years. If state constitutions can be amended, those amendments can be repealed. And as a new generation ages into the power years, new sensibilities will emerge, and these battles will be joined again.

My money's on the people who oppose you, Mr. O'Reilly. Have a nice, long, increasingly bitter life, you old hack.
