Boy, that changes my family history! My grandmother wasn’t raised by a stepmother who undercut her self-esteem and her self-image and preferred her birth son, thus she didn’t feel the need to marry my domineering grandfather!

Thank you, O’Reilly, for saving my grandma from a life of codependency to an alcoholic!

How long before O’Reilly responds with the old cannard: “if abortions were done for health reasons, they would be done in hospitals rather than specialized abortion clinics who’s sole function is to make a profit”

Interestingly, when the otherwise largely useless Mayor Bloomberg decreed that all interns and residents at City hospitals (who account for some humungous percentage of all doctors in the country) would be required to learn how to perform abortions as part of their OB/GYN rotations (with conscience outs), folks like O’Reilly bitched about it.

True, but that’s probably because the particles he’s using are just graham cracker crumbs brushed off his desk.

According to Dante, it’s the 8th circle (Malebolge), Bolgia 6, reserved for hypocrites. Sentence: to wander listlessly wearing a cloak of gilt lead. Or possibly Bolgia 9, sowers of discord. Sentence: hacked apart by demons, only to have the wounds heal so he can be hacked apart again.

He’s not.

Oh. That would be my problem with reading sarcasm.

Guess where he gets his information? Guess who he is convinced is his enemy number one?

Then the plumber comes in as I continue hard on the push that the Rethuglicans will always, have always and will never stop representing business interests over that of the common citizen. What does he say? “Kate, you know the Republicans are your friends, they are on our side.”

Guess where he gets his information? A devoted Fox O’Leilly syncophant.

The fascist right has taken over and taken the hearts and minds of the dupable and ignorant, taken it with lies, exaggerations and hate mongering.

The only thing that surprises me anymore is that I actually find every now and then a liberal among the working classes, it is rare and ever more so. O’ Lielly is just a modern form of Goebells, which has been split into about a hundred different mouth pieces bleating their backward propaganda for anyone who will listen, sign-on and vote their army closer and closer into power.

Its not what they say that bothers me anymore that I can’t even bear to look at too closely — its like constant screeching of the same tone — its the fact that they gain an audience. I wonder how soon it will be before we find the humanist ideals we take for granted completely squashed, outlawed and ourselves hunted down like dogs or chased out of the country.
