O’Reilly reveals his true colors

Well, okay, so everyone (with a brain) has known for the longest of times that Bill-O is a pompous troll with less intelligence than your average gnat. But now, he takes his obtuseness one step further in an argument with Judge Andrew Napolitano, Fox News’ top legal analyst, when he wipes aside Napolitano’s constitutional arguments for due process to be applied to Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and fellow terrorists with the assertion that he “[doesn’t] care about the Constitution”. Watch the exchange:

Transcribing O’Reilly discussions is a nightmare with the prick constantly talking over others.

O’REILLY: ‘If the Bush administration had declared war on Al-Qaeda, a terrorist group, then you wouldn’t have the opinion you have now.’

NAPOLITANO: ‘That’s right. There was no declaration of war.’

O’REILLY: ‘So, because there is no declaration of war, you say that any terrorist act – and surely, 9/11 fits that bill, right? Surely 9/11 fits the bill of terrorism?’

NAPOLITANO: ‘But, it is not I who is saying it, it’s the Constitution that is saying it.’

O’REILLY: ‘I don’t care about the Constitution. The Constitution isn’t here. You are here. Don’t be a pinhead.’

[Napolitano laughs]

O’REILLY: ‘9/11 was a terrorist act, was it not?’

NAPOLITANO: ‘It was an act in which individual people, not a government, slaughtered innocents in America.’

O’REILLY: ‘Was it a terrorist act? Was it designed to terrorize the American population?’

NAPOLITANO: ‘Yes, of course it was.’

O’REILLY: ‘Okay. So, the guy arrested is arrested in Pakistan.’

NAPOLITANO: ‘Right.’

O’REILLY: ‘Right? So, why is he entitled to come to New York City to be tried in a civilian criminal court, if he’s arrested in Pakistan?’

NAPOLITANO: ‘Because the document you don’t want me to talk about says, when the government is gonna prosecute you, it must do so in the place where the alleged harm was caused.’

Napolitano may be a legal analyst working for the whore of the GOP, Faux Newz, but his views and opinions on legal matters often differ greatly from the traditional far-right ideology that permeates others on the pseudo-“news” channel. And, once again, he is dead-on.

Bill O’Reilly is an ignorant boor. Just sayin’.
