Bill O'Reilly uses the Oslo terrorist attacks to claim that there's a massive media conspiracy to undermine Christianity

Holy fuck, first Beck, and now O'Reilly? What is the right wing's obsession with saying incredibly stupid things about terrorist attacks? Nixon himself couldn't give a better example of Nixonian "establishment" paranoia.

"Breivik is not a Christian. That's impossible. No one believing in Jesus commits mass murder. The man might have called himself a Christian on the net, but he is certainly not of that faith. Also, Breivik is not attached to any church, and in fact has criticized the Protestant belief system in general. The Christian angle came from a Norwegian policeman, not from any fact-finding. Once again, we can find no evidence, none, that this killer practiced Christianity in any way. So why is the angle being played up?

Two reasons: First, the liberal media wants to make an equivalency between the actions of Breivik and the Oklahoma City bomber Tim McVeigh, and al-Qaeda. The left wants you to believe that fundamentalist Christians are a threat, just like crazy jihadists are. In fact, in the New York Times today, an analysis piece says that some believe we have we have overreacted to the Muslim threat in the world. Of course, that's absurd. Jihadists have killed tens of thousands of people all over the world. The Taliban, Iran, elements in Pakistan, use governmental power to support terrorism by Muslims. But the left wing press wants to compare nuts like Breivik and McVeigh to state-sponsored terrorism and worldwide jihad. Again, dishonest and insane.

The second reason the liberal media is pushing the Christian angle is, they don't like Christians very much, because we are too judgmental. Many Christians oppose abortion, gay marriage, and legalized narcotics--secular left causes. The media understands the opposition is often based on religion. So they want to diminish Christianity, and highlighting so-called Christian-based terror is a way to do that.

The primary threat to this world comes from Islamic terrorism. Iran is a major problem. If the country gets nuclear weapons, and is desperately trying to, does anyone doubt those weapons could be used? A Muslim in Pakistan exported nuclear technology to North Korea. And Muslim suicide bombers blow innocent people up almost every day. Yet once again the liberal media wants you to fear Christian terrorists. And going forward, when jihad is mentioned, you know Breivik and McVeigh will enter the conversation.

Sometimes I think the world's going mad. This Breivik guy is a loon, a mass murderer who apparently acted out of rank hatred. No government supported him, no self-proclaimed terror group like al-Qaeda paid his bills. Breivik is just another loser who caused tremendous horror by murdering innocent people. There is no equivalency to jihad, no worldwide Breivik movement. Just another violent, pathetic legacy stemming back to Cain.

You will never see a better example of the No True Scotsman fallacy. People often throw "No True Scotsman" around without fully understanding it, but this is just spot on. This is textbook dumbfuckery. Debunking this won't be hard:

1) No True Scotsman is a logical fallacy.
2) Logical fallacies are always wrong.
3) Bill O'Reilly used No True Scotsman.
C) Bill O'Reilly is wrong.

Out of all the fucking dumbshit things O'Reilly spewed out in this heap of garbage, this line pissed me off the most: "No one believing in Jesus commits mass murder."



Hitler believed in Jesus. The Vatican supported Adolf Hitler. The Spaniards who came to America committed genocide out of a belief that Indians were literally the spawn of Satan. The Americans who spread west by murdering and displacing hundreds of thousands of Indians did so because the Christian God commanded them to (Manifest Destiny). The Ku Klux Klan lynches people in the name of God. The Inquisition tortured and killed thousands of people because they thought witchcraft was real. Anders Behring Breivik killed 76 people, most of whom were teenagers and children. There is absolutely no reason why someone cannot simultaneously be a mass murderer, and also believe that Jesus Christ is the son of the creator of the universe.

There's also one other thing I want to point out. Why is it that Christian terrorists are never "true Christians," but Muslim terrorists always represent their entire religion? Oh yeah. Because Bill O'Reilly is a fucking racist piece of shit.
