Billo can fuck right off. Ireland doesn't want him.

and would the troll gallery be saying this if McCain had won and had promptly had a heart attack, leaving Palin in charge?

judging all women on the basis of being a woman is about as discriminatory as it gets.

I'm sure BillO isn't that stupid, he just knows who signs his paycheck

Ah, Billo is surely talking about the possibility of calling the Presidents office the Ovary Office.


Joking aside, the downside of having a female President is that the US joins other nations in the 21. century in that respect at last.
But one can get the impression, as an outsider, that the last thing alot of mouthbreathers want to be is in the 21. century.

It's been well established that the guy who initiated the extra scrutiny on the 501c4 exemptions did so for good reason and nothing political, and not only that, identifies as a republican.

It's been well established that there was no scandal in Benghazi.

It's been well established that Obama was born in Hawaii

But facts don't matter to BillO and Faux

"...he has to reach, further and further, into fantasy."

Fuck dude, BillO has been doing that since he first debuted.

Dear Prudie got this letter today. Couldn't help but think of this vid. Yeah, Christianity is a philosophy, BillO. (What an asshole.)

Q. Bigoted Mom: My son's second-grade class is having a "Holiday Month" where they learn about Christmas, Kwanzaa, Chanukah, Ramadan, and other holidays during December. One of the mothers is threatening to sue. She claims that since we live in a Christian country, only Christmas should be taught. She attended the Christmas session last week and said some unbelievably anti-Semitic and racist comments in front of the kids. Some of the kids were in tears. The principal called it a free speech issue and is considering cancelling the rest of the Holiday Month to avoid a lawsuit. He more or less agreed with her that Christmas should be the only holiday discussed. I live in a suburb to a major city in the South, so I've seen this before, but I'm puzzled as to what I can do.

Yet another fox interview where the interviewee never gets a chance to talk without being interrupted.

@PoweredBySoy is right. This is fake. BillO is a paid troll. He's not a believer, but they pay him enough money to be an on-air hit man.

That said though, I dunno why Silverman took the bait and lowered himself and got into the shouting match. We've seen him be far more eloquent and not take the bait before.

Is BillO for real? Trying to tell him that Christianity isnt a religion?
Trying to conflate religion with philosophy is a fucking MASSIVE insult to philosophy....just to skirt the argument of separation of church and state.

this is the sour grapes portion of the election folks. we're going to hear more crackpot theories like this and other "theories" on how Obama stole the election

people like BillO (not BillO himself because he's just playing a role like Colbert) are going to continue to grump and whine as the nation moves more and more blue.

Unless the parties fundamentally change, the nation is going to keep going to the left more and more because they want equality for gays, they want equality for women (Republicans lost this election as soon as this became an issue again..WTF reps?) People are sick of beating war drums and they want health care reform.

Red stronghold states will eventually be whittled away until even Texas and the Bible belt go blue. the population of the cities (which tend to lean left) will outstrip the right leaning rural areas.

2016 will be the election to watch. Will Republicans not learn anything and continue driving hard right or will they actually figure out how to take the party back from the nutbags and kick the tea party and the christian fundamentalists to the curb

Sigh. Bill-O isn't actually stupid. He is articulate, and well spoken, and has a toilet paper roll up to his eye of his mind when he looks at the tiny tiny piece of the world that he represents.
He is right that the world is changing, but I wish he, and people like him would take off their blinders so he (and others) could grow to change with it, instead of complaining that the changes (many of which are set in motion when his generation was young) are taking place.


You're absolutely right, America has since the 60s been becoming more civilized. This is why people talk about the 60s as the time of troubles, this horrible time where there was too much democracy and crazy people were civilizing the nation. All these new movements started happening, carrying on into the 70s. We could admit the horrible crimes we committed to take this country from it's Native population which we exterminated. Heck look at colleges...before the 60s it was white deferential males. Now it's half women, a third minorities. Heck at my college as a white guy I'm in the minority! That's unheard of 50 years ago.

So BillO does have a point, but he's talking about it like it's a bad thing. He's on the wrong side of history.

Billo seems like he's maturing.

Urgh, the sort of brain dead, weird point picking that some people do.

BillO and his picking on public tv is just asinine. How this became a talking point is just infuriating. It matters FUCK ALL in any budget anywhere, and yet the right have decided it's a good thing to make be a talking point so the actual important points are ignored.

The politicians do this all the time here in Australia too, and it's infuriating. All the moreso because people take the bait and end up making the crap they've decided should be the talking points be the most important thing to discuss. No matte how COMPLETELY unimportant it is in the large picture.

URGH

Raising the age is fine if it is means tested.

Poorer people don't live as long. Poorer people tend to work at jobs that are much harder on their bodies. Adding years to when they are eligible to collect social security isn't right.

Can you imagine being a janitor at age 68? Dang.

Also --

Maybe I don't understand, but Jon said -- let's means test social security. Bill-o said no, then proceeded to say means testing for the rich. Am I missing something?

I also agree that capitalism is the problem with our discourse. It's not just the selling of hate, it is also the selling of fear and sex and cute kitten videos. When a news room has to make a profit, they are offering stories that pander to the lowest common denominator. Reagan's Iran contra mess, while well covered, was nothing compared to the coverage of Clinton and the stained dress and the cigar. Because sex sells.




>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

I actually agreed with BillO on a few issues. I think raising the social security age and cutting rich people off from social security benefits is a reasonable idea. I also agree that people are being hired to spread hate... mainly by the FOX news network. He also admits Iraq was a bad idea/disaster.
Bill doesn't seem that extreme when compared to the Glenn Becks and Alex Jones of the world.
