I've never trusted Bill O'Reilly. I couldn't stand him or his show, his books or his falafels, but up until now I thought him as really nothing more than an annoyance. Now, courtesy of this transcript at ThinkProgress.org, we see just how O'Reilly feels about his fellow countrymen.
There are too many disturbing comments in here to truly do justice to, but it is the overall tone that is most illuminating, the tone of righteous indignation that some people would dare to challenge the notion that we are in the midst of "World War III." This is a man who best exemplifies the words of the movie The American President: he claims to love America, but clearly can't stand Americans.

I thought of that quote from that movie too! Exactly.
It sure seems like treason to me, to wish terrorists to attack a city in your own nation.
And to suggest, in essence, the death penalty, for people who don't want military recruiters going into schools, is irrational at best.
But I guess it seems normal if you're a control freak. Control freaks often get unusually fired up over trivial matters. Like the husband who blows his stack over what his wife cooked for dinner, or how she stacked the dishwasher - in a manner that might make sense if she just informed him she was having an affair with his brother.
O'Reilly's comments would at least make more sense if they voted for a law that favoured school beatings, or at least reprimands, for students who expressed a desire for a military career.
