Oh. I loved this.
I saw this on the Young Turks and I was wondering when it'd make it's way here.
I don't agree with O'Reily on many issues, being the conservative that he is, but this is honestly suprising that he'd utter something so stupid.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

"Tide goes in tide goes out" and he does not know why, what a dumb schmuck.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

I don't know why it took this long to make a thread of this name.

As a child, I could have told O'Riley why. In the 17th century, they could have told O'Riley why. Beyond this being a base appeal to ignorance, this is a display of monumental ignorance.
