Otherwise we have to assume that one's moral character exists independently of one's worldview. Where's the fun in that?

On a side note, as much of an idiot as O'Reilly is, I think Silverman could have really done better in that interview. He should have pounced on that ignorant shit. Instead, he was baffled by it, and we got a meme. I think I would have responded to O'Reilly's inane commentary better than Silverman. But then again, I've had an entire lifetime of living in the Appalachians as training to prepare me for such moments.
So weird! A trump supporter at AA?? Kind of like a NRA member who supports the abolition of the 2nd Amendment.
