the one that I think best illustrates the difference between most progressives and the neanderthals on the right was the interview with the Biblical scholar who happens to be a Muslim.

The Fox anchor just couldn't get it through her head why a Muslim would be interested in Christianity. That is because she has been taught in the neanderthal tradition not to think or question or engage in any form of intellectual curiosity.

By her standard any American that studied anything other than American history or learned about anything other than America would be suspect.

The right wing is so afraid of intellectual curiosity, the hallmark of the Enlightenment, they don't want anyone to have any interest in anything that doesn't conform to some set of imposed "community".

Why have I, as a Christian, read scholarly works about Judaism and Islam? It is because I am intellectually curious about these religions.

Gosh, these all made the host look really really stupid, without much effort on the part of the guests. Just the questions of the hosts were so ridiculous to begin with. It reminds of of when Chris Wallace asked the Democratic candidates about taxes in one of the debates. He pulled his Sean Hannity bullshit out of his ass and said something like a school teacher and firefighter make over 150K, wouldn't their taxes be raised. The audience just laughed at the question itself.

But yeah, why would you, as a Muslim, study other religions..well, I'm a religious scholar, hahahaha.

Peace

But actually, very pathetic...like a young child asking about a subject they're not ready to understand, but argumentative anyway. So much bare incompetence is embarrassing.

The perfect "You just got served and couldn't even come close to making a response" tone.

I had seen the O'Really? clip already but it's still funny to have the guy who sits on the board of the NIH tell Bill-0'Idiot that the numbers he claims to have gotten from NIH are wrong, because he himself is involved with that organization.

though it wasn't so much a debunking as letting O'Reilly look as stupid as he actually is.
